Bradley 55,777 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Takeaway from Empire magazine interview - “Arthur clearly is not a criminal mastermind. He was never that.” While Fleck isn’t angling to become a criminal figurehead in Arkham, the world is watching him. “Arthur has become this symbol to people,” Phillips says. “This unwilling, unwitting symbol now paying for the crimes of the first film, but at the same time finding the only thing he ever wanted, which was love. - That purity of character exploration dovetails with Folie À Deux’s most unexpected stylistic swing – that Fleck (and Gaga’s Lee) will break into song. It comes from the notion in the first film that, in Phillips’ words, Fleck “has music in him”. - Fleck “has music in him”. Cue Phoenix singing showtunes, as channelled through Arthur. “It was important to protect that with poor phrasing and occasional bum notes “Arthur grew up hearing his mother play these songs on the radio. He’s not a singer, and he shouldn’t sound like a professional singer. He should sound like somebody that’s taking a shower and just bursts out into song.” - He was, however, performing opposite the professional singer, Lady Gaga. “I do seem to remember her spitting up coffee the first time I sang, so that felt good, that was exciting, and made me feel confident,” he jokes. https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/joker-wont-be-gotham-clown-prince-of-crime-in-folie-a-deux-exclusive/ Edited 4 hours ago by Bradley 2 23 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Panda 1,348 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I dont like that they gave Harley a nickname, "Lee" but I guess since Arthur really isnt the comic book name of The Joker or any past media versions, its okay I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
