Why Is Joker: Folie à Deux Changing Harley Quinn's Name?
Time will tell how this name change will affect Harley Quinn's origin narrative, but it still begs the issue as to why they are choosing the alternative path. Harley always followed the source material; she has never been re-named in any Batman or DC project. Joker: Folie à Deux has the same creative latitude with Harley Quinn since it is an Elseworlds approach to the Clown Prince of Crime.
Joker: Folie à Deux might have Lady Gaga's character start as Lee when she first hooks with Arthur. Once she really becomes the well-known DC villain, she might adopt the Harley Quinn identity. The name will somehow become part of the Joker: Folie à Deux as all the marketing references Harley Quinn.
Lady Gaga Verifies Significant Change Made To Her Harley Quinn In Joker: Folie à Deux
Lady Gaga's rendition of Harley Quinn will be significantly changed in the forthcoming Joker: Folie à Deux film in the DC sequel. This year only one DC movie is scheduled for release; Joker: Folie à Deux just five months from theater premiere. Originally scheduled a few years following the 2019 movie, Joker: Folie à Deux will have Lady Gaga's portrayal of Arthur Fleck meeting this universe's rendition of Harley Quinn.
Lady Gaga spoke in a recent E! News interview about landing Joker: Folie à Deux as the next major-screen Harley Quinn adaptation. She explained that although she couldn't provide spoilers, her version of Harley would be named as Lee:
Recasting Harley Quinn's Alter Ego
For DC Comics psychologist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Harley Quinn is her alter persona.
Although some audience members may find the Lee name controversial, it would be logical in this regard. The Joker: Folie à Deux should concentrate more on encapsulating the core of Harley Quinn's persona in the DC universe than on only her moniker being Lee. With additional looks of Lady Gaga's persona exposed in the forthcoming Joker: Folie à Deux teaser, hopefully, an explanation will be clearer.
Joker: Folie à Deux's History
A follow-up to Todd Phillips's highly praised comic book thriller Joker: Folie à Deux. Returning as the venerable DC character opposite Lady Gaga, who plays Joker's love interest Harley Quinn, Joaquin Phoenix, reprise his Academy Award-winning role as Arthur Fleck, the failing comedian, returns. It forms part of the DC Universe's independent continuity.
The fresh production has a different twist, hence viewers are excited about the premiere. Of course, the film features the well-known Harley Quinn among other fresh characters and exciting action scenes.
