All the publicity surrounding Joker a Deux made me feel guilty about not having watched the first one.

So I did. Wow.

First, Joaquim Phoenix is a genius, on the same level as de Niro, Nicholson and Pacino. Second, the film is maybe even better than Rotten Tomatoes says.

But. If The Batman was dark, The Joker is inky black, without a vestige of hope at the end. So, why make another?
