If they do a sequel (which, I don't think they should) I'd go with something along those lines.

The fun, for me, of comic book universes is the constant reinvention while the adherence to the central themes constantly ring out. It's fun watching people play the symphony their own way. Todd Philips took The Joker Requiem and put together his orchestra and arranged the music and did it his way. That's wonderful in and of itself.

When studios get ahold of stuff like this and spin it out endlessly, trying to wring more and more money from it, that's when it gets a little tawdry and disappointing.

Not gonna lie: I've also got myself a powerful dose of superhero fatigue, so the thought of sequels, spin-offs, and connective tissue bleeding into an extended universe just wearies me.`

Stop trying to make “fetch” happen, Gretchen.

I think it over emphasizes class revolt. Arthur was disillusioned by society as a whole, not just the wealthy. I’d say something like Joker: The Mad Circus or The Bloody Carnival is more appropriate.

However, this is all operating under the assumption that Arthur is in fact The Joker. This has not been confirmed to be an origin story/cannon.
