The lonely, depressed and failed comedian Arthur Fleck finds love in a hopeless place in the second trailer of Joker: Folie a Deux, which released on Tuesday night. The trailer begins with a glimpse of Joaquin Phoenix as the titular joker, who once changed the fate of Gotham city. The trailer begins with a voiceover: "They believe Arthur Fleck to be some kind of martyr. Well, he is not. He's a monster" as he proceeds for his trial, which is followed by his signature albeit scary laugh. Enter Lady Gaga as his muse Harley Quinn and together they will "give the people what they want."
So did the two give people what the want? Well, the Internet is absolutely obsessed with the trailer of the film. This scene has a separate fan base altogether.
Fans can't help but love the trailer's cinematography. "I can't wait to watch this! I love the colors and cinematography already," wrote a user.
"This is art, This is cinema," added another user on X.

Similar thoughts echoed in this post that read, "I am so ready to see Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn! Yes indeed."
"Oh those Oscars are theirs," read another post on X (earlier known as Twitter).
