Giving a one-star rating to the movie, film trade analyst Sumit Kadel in a post on X (formerly twitter) said, “Joker 2 is an absolute disaster. Director Todd Phillips made a clueless, boring, and terrible sequel to #Joker, completely ruining its legacy.” He added, “I can’t believe they turned it into a depressing musical that will bore the audience. The climax will leave you frustrated.”

Based on DC Comics characters, the sequel was made on a budget of $190-200 million. For DC Comics movies, the original Joker marked a significant shift and received mixed results from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Perhaps, Warner Bros decided to make it a standalone film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films instead of continuing under the DCEU umbrella.
