JOKER: FOLIE Á DEUX is weirdly… weird. I didn’t actually watch the first one, because it didn’t sound like my cup of tea. But there’s just something about having somebody else in this mad universe of his that makes me take the concept of these movies more seriously. It reminds me of the observation from WATCHMEN: the heroes needed the villains to wear costumes, too. Otherwise it was just kind of embarrassing. Without Harley, this version of the Joker is just a fundamentally sad homicidal maniac who likes to wear clown makeup.

Similar feelings, although I would say Joker’s not interesting without Batman.
Although, Heath Ledger’s version could’ve been interesting in some hypothetical stand alone movie.
