The first Joker movie shocked audiences worldwide, with its unhinged brutality and an unrivaled performance by Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker.

The trailer for the sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, which in French means 'madness for two', reveals quite a few characters. One of these is confirmed to be Harvey Dent, the white knight of Gotham, who turned into Two-Face.

Harvey Dent In Joker 2

Now, you're probably asking: “Where the heck is Harvey Dent, I didn't see him in the trailer!”

Well, that's because you can't see him in the trailer, but you can hear him. The trailer's subtitles reveal that a certain sentence is attributed to none other than Harvey Dent.

They believe Arthur Fleck to be some kind of martyr. Well, he's not.

It looks as though the story will focus on Arthur's trial, following the events of the first movie. That is aperfect opportunity to introduce this universe's Harvey Dent organically.

The movie will also probably be very musical, as the trailer already shows off Arthur's and Harley's singing.

I think the premise will lend itself perfectly to a musical structure, and is a fitting continuation of Arthur's arc, since the more he evolved in the first movie, the more intensely he danced.

He will probably set himself free even more and burst out into song, and I can't wait to see and hear it.
