Joker: Folie à Deux
Arthur Fleck, aka “The Joker,” (Phoenix) is remanded into custody at the Arkham State Hospital. His lawyer, Maryanne Stewart (Keener), plans to argue that Arthur suffers from dissociative identity disorder and that it was his “Joker” persona responsible for the crimes committed two years prior. While undergoing therapy at the institution, Arthur meets Harleen “Lee” Quinzel
(Lady Gaga). The two connect over their sordid pasts. After a failed escape attempt results in Harleen being released early to avoid Arthur’s influence over her, Arthur’s trial begins. Despite being separated, their love for each other only grows stronger and, consequently, more dangerous.
