Overview
- Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone she initially “started laughing” at what she called the “unhinged” reaction to the 2024 sequel.
- She added the prolonged negativity did sting because she had put a lot of herself into the performance.
- Gaga said she redirected that energy into her art, pointing to the dark “Disease” video and themes on her Mayhem album, which earned Grammy nominations.
- Joker: Folie À Deux drew poor audience marks, including a D from CinemaScore and a low Rotten Tomatoes audience score, and grossed roughly $206–207 million worldwide on a reported $200 million budget.
- Reporting around DC Studios indicates there are currently no concrete plans to continue these Joker or Harley Quinn portrayals within the DCU.
