Fans are buzzing with excitement as we get the first glimpse of Lady Gaga’s transformation into the infamous Harley Quinn in the upcoming sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux. The pop icon was spotted in New York on the set of the movie, and it’s safe to say that she’s looking more like the Clown Princess of Crime than ever before.
Decked out in Harley’s signature diamond-patterned clothing and sporting her iconic eye makeup, Lady Gaga was seen alongside Gotham PD officers and a group of protesters. Many of these Gotham citizens were wearing Joker-inspired face paint and masks, and were holding signs that read “Free Joker”, indicating that Arthur Fleck’s actions on the Murray Franklin Show at the end of 2019’s Joker may have consequences.

In addition to the Harley Quinn reveal, another exciting development has surfaced regarding the possible involvement of Harvey Dent in the upcoming sequel. One of the signs held by the protesters reads “Dent is the Clown”, hinting at the involvement of the prominent District Attorney of Gotham City, who is better known as his alter ego, Two-Face.
The last time we saw Two-Face on the big screen was in Christopher Nolan’s 2008 film, The Dark Knight, and fans are eagerly anticipating his possible return in Joker: Folie à Deux. While it remains to be seen if we’ll see Two-Face in action in the sequel, it’s likely that he’ll be the one responsible for putting Arthur Fleck behind bars.
