‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Trailer Subtly Confirms Harvey Dent’s Presence
The official trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed Joker, has dropped, bringing with it unexpected revelations. Namely, if you enable captions while watching the trailer, you will notice a subtle but significant detail in the first few seconds: the confirmation of Harvey Dent‘s presence in the film.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, the captions reveal that a voice heard on the radio belongs to none other than Harvey Dent, Gotham City’s district attorney who famously becomes the villain Two-Face in Batman lore. Of course, this subtle inclusion has ignited speculation about Dent’s role in the upcoming film.
For instance, the trailer also showcases a dramatic courtroom scene featuring Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker in full costume presenting his testimony during a case. If Dent is the prosecutor during this courtroom scene, could Arthur Fleck be responsible for Dent’s transformation into Two-Face? In traditional Batman storylines, Dent’s scarring is often attributed to a courtroom incident involving acid.
As fans eagerly await more information, this trailer has certainly succeeded in ramping up excitement for the film. Watch the trailer with captions enabled to catch this subtle but significant reveal for yourself.
Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters on October 4, 2024. Stay tuned to The Cultured Nerd for more updates and in-depth analysis as the film approaches its release.
