No, I’m not making this up:
A big name is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Joker 2, which has entered development under the working title of Joker: Folie à deux. THR reports that pop culture icon Lady Gaga, who has found great success in both film and music, is in early talks to star in the film. If these talks work out, Gaga would be starring as a new incarnation of Harley Quinn, the supervillain played by Margot Robbie in the DCEU.
Assuming this gets made, it’s… I don’t know what it is. It could be brilliant. It could be unwatchable. It could be brilliantly unwatchable. It’ll almost certainly piss a lot of people off, either way (or both).

PS: On the bright side? At least Lady Gaga can both sing and act. So there’d probably be some decent tunes coming out of this.
Well, it certainly fits the zeitgeist.
If it’s the same creative team they’ve earned some trust.
…And she’ll start earning trust when she acts under her own name, ala The Rock reverting to Dwayne Johnson.
