      Seriously, after the first film this is as far from what you’d expect, and want from a sequel.

      I’ll definitely pass on this as well.

      have to agree. i was kinda looking forward to it… but a musical? gad. no. the worst episodes of my favorite shows are when they thought it would be cute to make them musicals.

        Imo the scrubs episode where the patient views the world as a musical is pretty good, but you’re right it’s far from being one of the best episodes.

          if youre referring to the nightman; i would argue that they put on a musical within the show. the episode itself was not a musical.

          the other episode that is a musical is not one i particularly enjoy

        First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.

      The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python’s Holly Grail.

      I’d watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.

    That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren’t expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren’t going to attend since they aren’t being advertised to

      Unexpected genre also killed Brutal Legend. The commercials advertised it as an action-adventure game, but it’s actually an RTS. Action-adventure fans hated it, and RTS fans had no idea it was an RTS until it showed up on Steam four years later.

        I don’t like old style musicals, but things like I Brother Where Art Thou are great.

      That explains why all the scenes in the trailer were of people singing and dancing. Welp I dont care for most musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.

      It has its moments but I say it was just very overrated. I was worried about it because the first one came out at the height of violent incels idolizing the Joker. With that movie almost portraying him as a sympathetic villain I had concerns it may start to galvanize a few too many of those wackados
