A Joker 2 test screening allegedly occurred, and reactions from the preview suggest fans of the first film will be pleased with the sequel, which may have some familiar faces alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
Joker 2 instantly caught fan attention after reports claimed it would incorporate musical elements with Lady Gaga co-starring opposite Phoenix as Harley Quinn, the titular character’s henchwoman and love interest in the comics. Add rumors of other Batman villains appearing in Joker 2, and fans are curious to see how co-writer and director Todd Phillips will match or surpass the Oscar-winning first film.
Now, early Joker 2 reactions have been shared by people who allegedly attended a test screening, and they may increase the already palpable anticipation for the movie. According to GoldDerby (via @live4ga), "Famous characters appear in it. Some changes to lore since these movies are standalone from certain other DC franchises." While the names of the «famous characters» were not divulged, fans will undoubtedly wonder which DC characters will join the lead duo in Joker 2, if that is who the ‘famous characters’ comments refer to.

They sing, of course, but it works in a different pattern. Very risky, but [f***ing] genius.»
Based on these comments, Joker 2 will live up to the expectations of fans who loved the first film. Of course, the standout comment may be the mention of ‘famous characters.’ The first Joker film featured Thomas, Martha, and a young Bruce Wayne, depicting a fresh take on the events that led to the elder Waynes' murders and (presumably) the start of Bruce’s journey toward becoming Batman. So, it’s not surprising to hear Joker 2 may introduce more DC characters. Still, considering Joker and its sequel offer fresh takes on familiar characters, it will be interesting to see what Phillips and co-writer Scott Silver may have in mind for any other familiar faces.
On the other hand, only some were pleased with the first Joker film. Although it grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office and garnered accolades (including a Best Picture nomination and Best Actor win for Phoenix at the Oscars), some critics felt Joker was too
