I will buy tickets for OP to this musical, if true, only if Pierce Brosnan or Russell Crowe have scenes where they sing. I expect maximum awfulness.

Ok, so most musicals are awful. Even the ones that are popular are usually not for me. But I'm willing to give it a chance. Full disclosure: I tend to think that my most-watched movie of all time, the Transformers 1986 movie, is really a musical.

I love how the first three posts sum up my thoughts exactly.

Nolan Batman trilogy worked just fine without a fucking musical to ruin the mood completely.
1 billion movie having a complete tone change with its sequel is something unheard of, I think
Disgusting. Hope that this is all bulshit.
Don't think that Joaquin would accept it, honestly

Are you kidding? This is probably one of the primary reasons he's even agreeing to a sequel, which is virtually unprecedented for him.

I would disagree. I'm not saying it would work for sure. But following a movie that had so much impact like Joker had is a difficult task. Sometimes you have to take a sharp turn to attempt to have a similar, or better, impact. That's why no one cares about The Dark Knight Rises. Because it was just more of the same following the massively successful and hugely popular The Dark Knight. They were never going to make a movie that lived up to that sequel, and so they made a movie that's largely forgotten about because its predecessor is significantly better. It was a safe choice.
I'm just saying that a safe choice is not always the best one. A musical may be an extreme choice, and it may not even work. But it could also be just what a sequel would need? We'll have to see.

this sounds stupid and i hate musicals but it could be good. joaquin is a great singer and of course so is lady gaga.
i'll reserve judgement until i watch it.
he has done musical films before (Walk The Line) and why would he be so against working with Lady Gaga?

But Walk the Line was a biopic about Johnny Cash, a singer.
And it wasn't really a musical. He sang during Johnny's shows. It was no La La Land or Lés Miserables where people started singing all of a sudden.
The Lady Gaga part I admit that it was more about my opinion. I enjoy her music, but I hate her acting.
Thought she wasn't good in A Star is Born and she was worse, way worse in House of Gucci
