The Resort is a horror thriller film written and directed by Taylor Chien. The 2021 film revolves around four young friends who go to investigate a haunted and abandoned resort in Hawaii. They soon learn that the horrific stories of the infamous Half-Faced Girl are not that false.

In 2021, Billy Bob Thornton had a brief cameo in an episode of “1883,” the hugely popular “Yellowstone” spinoff. That’s where he met Taylor Sheridan, whose vast television empire includes most of the shows people subscribe to Paramount+ for. “He said, ‘I wrote this cameo and when I looked at it, I realized I can’t just cast a local. I need somebody who’s done this before in a bigger way,’” Thornton said. At the “1883” premiere in Las Vegas, Thornton and Sheridan sat together at the afterparty and Sheridan told him, “I’m writing this thing called ‘Landman’ for you and you’re going to love it.”

“I’m not the type who takes stuff that I’m not right for because I want to present myself in the best possible way,” Thornton said. “I always tell people, if you’re going to do a movie about Charles de Gaulle,...

Landman pulled a clever move straight out of Yellowstone Season 4’s playbook, and it might just silence one of the loudest critiques Taylor Sheridan has faced. The series, diving deep into the world of oil exploration and corporate drama, leaned on a genius storytelling technique that fans of Yellowstone instantly recognized.

Deep in the heart of Texas one might think of cowboys, cattle and rodeos. But Landman, the new series co-created by Christian Wallace and Yellowstone boss Taylor Sheridan, wants viewers to also think about Texas tea and black gold with the new streaming offering about the oil business starring Billy Bob Thornton.

Based on journalist-screenwriter Wallace’s Boomtown podcast, from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the Paramount+ series explores the multibillion-dollar oil industry in West Texas in a storytelling style that is likely to remind viewers of Sheridan’s megahit Paramount Network saga Yellowstone. The podcast focused on the Permian Basin in West Texas in 2019.

Although the oil fields, known as “the patch,” were producing a significant amount of product and paying the lowest workers in the fields hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, the community in West Texas also faced high rents, schools that were overcrowded and some...

It is not just Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed Western show Yellowstone that has episodes running on television right now. Fans might also want to give a try to his new his new Paramount Western, Landman. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Jacob Lofland, and Michelle Randolph. One scene from the series involving Thornton and Randolph may leave fans deeply uncomfortable.

Sheridan is known to write such uncomfortable scenes into his series but fans might not want to judge the whole series based on this scene alone. While Yellowstone brings you the struggles for land in the West, Landman draws the audience into the fascinating world of oilmen.

In Taylor Sheridan‘s Landman,...

Taylor Sheridan never stops working. We are lucky that the multi-hyphenate talent has given us everything from historical epics to contemporary melodramas while developing a roster of writers and directors he can rely on to shepherd his various ideas into popular television programming. Through his various series, Sheridan has been more hands-on with some than others, and Landman benefits from having his involvement as a writer on all ten episodes and director on the first two. Landman is not only another solid entry in Sheridan’s expanding roster of projects but also his best series since the first season of Yellowstone (Read Our Review).

Based on Christian Wallace’s podcast Boomtown, Landman follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), a veteran of the oil business, as he fixes the day-to-day operational challenges for his boss, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). These problems range from dealing with legal challenges, the death of oil engineers,...

Every oil company has a landman, we learn in the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s new Paramount+ drama. The person in this position secures the company’s rights to drill land, keeps the employees in check and generally keeps things running — even if he has to do things that aren’t exactly legal to make that happen.

Tommy Norris (played by Billy Bob Thornton) holds that role in Landman, which premiered Sunday, and he’s good at it. Within minutes of the series’ premiere, he’s dealing with a drug lord’s plane that has landed on one of the...

You might still be catching your breath from the long-awaited return of “Yellowstone,” but series creator Taylor Sheridan already has a new show launching, too. “Landman” will join Sheridan’s other recent hits “Tulsa King,” “Mayor of Kingstown” and “Lioness” in streaming on Paramount+, and once again, Sheridan has attracted a cast full of movie stars and familiar faces.

From Sheridan and co-creator Christian Wallace, the series is based on the podcast “Boomtown” and follows the upstairs/downstairs battle for land, oil and fortune in a West Texas boomtown. “Landman” stars Billy Bob Thornton alongside Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña and Ali Larter, as well as Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie and Paulina Chávez.

If you’re wondering when you can catch more episodes, here’s you’re guide to when and where to watch “Landman.”

When Does ‘Landman’ Premiere?

‘Landman’ premieres...

Taylor Sheridan’s super successful “Yellowstone” has been compared to “Dallas,” the grandaddy of primetime soap operas, often enough. So why wouldn’t Sheridan take a stab at his own Texas-set, oil industry melodrama?

“Landman” is that. And what’s pleasantly surprising about this Permian Basin blend of big business brinkmanship, family conflict and horrific on-the-job accidents is that it’s so damn funny.

Most of the laughs are intentional, too. A rich deposit of them should be credited to star Billy Bob Thornton, who can deliver astute lessons in petrochemical economics one minute then tell a bartender “I quit drinkin’, I’ll stick with beer” the next. The “Goliath” and “Bad Santa” star maintains exasperation in his drawl throughout and doesn’t waste a second resetting tone from heartfelt to pissed off to sarcastic, reliably punctuating all of it with redolent cusswords.

Tommy Norris is a perfect conveyor belt...

Taylor Sheridan has the Midas touch in creating gritty, raw stories. His most popular, Yellowstone, recently premiered the long-awaited second part of its fifth and final season. If you are looking for more Sheridan series', the wait is almost over. On Sunday, Nov. 17, 2024, Paramount+ will release the next series in Sheridan's modern stories, Landman.

The new series, created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, joins Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and other Sheridan series set in the modern world. Landman focuses on the world of oil companies in West Texas and is based on the podcast series Boomtown, hosted by Wallace. The story focuses on events at the cusp of an oil boom that will affect the climate, economy, and geopolitics.

This show, like Yellowstone, features an outstanding line up of cast members. Joining Thornton, Hamm, and Moore are Ali Larter, Andy Garcia, Michael Pena, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan,...

Taylor Sheridan continues to amaze TV viewers with “Landman,” a new Paramount+ drama that starts on November 17 and goes deep into the dirty world of Texas’s oil industries. This series is another smart addition to Sheridan’s story empire. It came from a surprising but interesting place: Christian Wallace’s highly acclaimed “Boomtown” podcast.

“Landman” is not a straight adaptation but a fictionalized look into the Permian Basin’s oil boom based on the podcast. Wallace’s original work, nominated for a Webby Award, broke down the complicated oil production environment by talking to workers and big names. Sheridan, known for turning complicated real-life stories into interesting TV shows, saw great potential for dramatic interpretation.

The series is a classic Sheridan production: a modern story with much regional realism. “Landman” continues Sheridan’s signature style of showing societal tensions through localized stories by focusing on the complicated power dynamics in the oil business.

The Direct participated in the press junket for Paramount+'s Landman, where the cast and filmmakers behind the series spoke all about their time on the show, hopes for a Season 2, and keeping strong through the Texas weather.

The series, co-created by iconic creator Taylor Sheridan (the man behind the hit series Yellowstone), tells a new tale following Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris as he navigates the chaos of the oil industry in Texas.

Alongside Landman co-creator Christian Wallace, The Direct also spoke with talented actors Ali Larter (Rebecca), Jacob Lofland (Cooper Norris), James Jordan (Dale), Mark Collie (Sheriff Walt Joeberg), Kayla Wallace (Rebecca), and Paula Chavez (Ariana).

If you're a fan of Yellowstone, we have some great news! Landman, a new TV series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, premieres on Paramount+ on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Compared to Sheridan's other series, which also have great casts, Landman has the best cast in one of Sheridan's series so far. Billy Bob Thornton stars in Landman, along with Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Michael Peña, Ali Larter, Mark Collie, Andy García, Paulina Chavez, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Michelle Randolph, and more.

We shared what Landman is all about, the trailer, and when to watch every episode!

What time is Landman on Paramount+?

The first two episodes of Landman are coming to Paramount+ on Nov. 17. You can watch the first two episodes of Landman at 12:00 a.m. Pst / 3:00 a.m. Est on the streaming service.

If you don't mind staying up late to watch new episodes, you're in luck!

From the moment Landman starts, you can’t help but be drawn into a fascinating world of oilmen, roughnecks, cartel El Jefes, and a giant heaping spoonful of Texas drawl. Right away, the series pulls no punches and turns the tables on the viewer like no other. Think I’m wrong? Hardly.

That’s because no one can act their way out of a hood like Billy Bob Thornton does in Landman. Brought to a cartel meeting with his hands tied behind his back and his face covered, he pulls no punches. He tells the dangerous, armed guards that the land is now owned by big Texas oil, and if they don’t comply, he’ll bring the full power of the federal government down on them.

It is a stunning scene that sets up a series that is one of the best on American television.

Billy Bob Thorton in...

Plot: Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

Review: Taylor Sheridan has continued to expand Paramount’s roster of series to the point that they may want to reconsider naming their services after him. The writer-director has created shows centered on cowboys, outlaws, criminals, prisoners, soldiers, and historical figures. With Yellowstone returning to complete its original run and five other series on the air, I was prepared to discount Sheridan’s latest series, Landman, as another variation on his established formula. After seeing the new series led by Billy Bob Thornton, I am excited to say that Landman is Taylor Sheridan’s best series since the debut of Yellowstone. With a stellar cast including Ali Larter, Jon Hamm, and Demi Moore, Landman...

There are few character types on television whom it would seem quite as exhausting to be as the only guy who knows how to get things done on a Taylor Sheridan show. From Kevin Costner on Yellowstone to Jeremy Renner on Mayor of Kingstown — and now Billy Bob Thornton on Sheridan’s new drama Landman — these men are perpetually running from one crisis to the next, all of them someone else’s fault, no one else seemingly having the first clue how to solve them.

Every writer puts some of...

The line that we so often use to describe a talented performer is that we’d pay to listen to them read the phone book.

Nobody, in 2024, knows what a phone book is.

Perhaps it is time for a rhetorical modification. We could salute performers as being so talented we’d pay to listen to them recite a rambling, pseudo-poetic treatise on the nobility of the oil industry.

Sure, the phrase may not be useful in every context. But it’s the healthiest way of approaching Paramount+’s Landman, the latest series from the one-man assembly line that is Taylor Sheridan. For the purposes of this drama, he’s abandoned any and all pretense of having a writing staff — and with him also directing the first two episodes, this may be Taylor Sheridan’s most Taylor Sheridan-y show to date.

That means big stars (not always well-used), big melodramatic swings...

Set in Midlands, Texas, Landman transforms Christian Wallace’s Boomtown podcast into a visually evocative, character-driven drama. The series, co-created and executive-produced by Wallace and co-director Taylor Sheridan, captures the essence of an oil industry that powers much of modern life, though some of its characterizations are rather thin.

In Boomtown, Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris—a chain-smoking, no-nonsense fixer—inhabits a gray zone between the executive elite and the tough-and-ready “roughnecks” who pull oil from the earth in Midlands. Tommy is full of biting wit and wearied edges, throwing back beer as if it were soda pop despite having past issues with alcohol.

The show’s opening moments are rife with exposition, as a Mexican drug cartel holds Tommy captive over a misunderstanding about access to mineral rights. Even bound and hooded, Tommy exudes a gritty resolve, lecturing his captors on the vast reach of the oil industry,...

When Landman premieres on Paramount+ on Sunday, you’ll once again be thrust into a world that’s mostly unknown to the general American public.

Taylor Sheridan’s work does that often, so adapting Christian Wallace’s Boomtown podcast (with Wallace’s help) about the rigors of the oil and gas business is a perfect fit.

During a recent press day, TV Fanatic had the opportunity to talk with Wallace and its stars, Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Kayla Wallace, and Paulina Chávez. They shared unique insights into the series, its characters, and what drives them.

When it comes to adapting a podcast into a full-fledged series, few storytellers have the industry sway of Taylor Sheridan.

As Landman co-creator Christian Wallace revealed,...

Demi Moore, Ali Larter, and Billy Bob Thornton are stepping out for the premiere of their new Tyler Sheridan series!

The stars posed for photos at the Landman premiere on Tuesday evening (November 12) held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

Fellow cast members in attendance included Jacob Lofland, Paulina Chavez, Octavio Rodriguez, Michael Pena, Mustafa Speaks, James Jordan, Kayla Wallace, and Jr Villarreal.

Billy Bob and Ali had the support of their respective spouses Connie Angland and Hayes MacArthur at the premeire.

Skipping out on the L.A. premiere was Jon Hamm, but he did attend the London premiere last week.

Here’s the full plot summary, via Deadline: “Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs.

Updated: “Men die, oil companies don’t. So begins the new trailer for Taylor Sheridan’s Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton.

In the new trailer, Thornton’s Tommy Norris is the fixer in the Paramount+ drama based on the podcast Boomtown. Check it out above and see series details below.

Previous, Sept. 5: Lots of fiery explosions and grimy-faced roughnecks fill the trailer for the new Paramount+ drama Landman, which also features a warning from star Billy Bob Thornton about how “getting oil out of the ground is the most dangerous job in the world.”

The oil business affects everything in the wild West Texas town of Landman, and Billy Bob Thornton is a key cog in that machine.

The second trailer for the next Taylor Sheridan series, this time about the oil business, focuses on Thornton’s Tommy Norris, a crisis manager in the oil industry, and peels back more of the relationships between the star-studded ensemble that includes Thornton, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore and Ali Larter.

“Men die, oil companies don’t,” says Tommy (Thornton) in the high-octane trailer (below), as he describes himself as “a divorced alcoholic with $500 thousand in debt” and pulls his son (Jacob Lofland) into the business.

Hamm stars in a recurring guest role as Monty Miller, a Texas oil industry titan with a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy; Moore plays Cami, the wife of another powerful oil man in Texas and friend of Norris; and Larter plays Norris’ ex-wife.

Strap in for the new gritty thriller series from Paramount’s golden boy, Taylor Sheridan. The television guru is premiering a new trailer for his upcoming drama, which will be tackling the cutthroat world of the oil business. As per usual, his new series also sports an impressive cast.

Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, the drama is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas and stars Thornton as Tommy Norris, a fixer at an oil company.

“Men die,” Tommy says in the trailer. “Oil companies don’t.”

Joker 2's Original Ending Took a Dark Knight Turn Until Christopher Nolan 'Killed' It - Main Image

DC hates to break it to you, but the ever-divisive Joker 2 originally had a better ending planned. That is until The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan expressed his displeasure over it. Here's how Joker: Folie à Deux was supposed to end.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the ending of Joker: Folie à Deux, so proceed with caution.

The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan Was Not on Board with Joker 2's Original Ending

Prior to the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux, an anonymous source had leaked the disappointing ending even DC fans couldn't believe was true.

Instead of having Arthur Fleck end his story, well, as the Joker, still, he still ends up with nothing. Not with "Lee" Quinn, and certainly not his legacy as one of Gotham's "villains.

Joker: Folie à Deux Director Todd Phillips Addresses the Sequel's Controversial Ending - Main Image

Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips addressed the film's controversial ending and Arthur Fleck's tragic fate.

This article includes spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux, so proceed with caution.

Since its release last weekend, the sequel has been heavily criticized by fans and critics. One of the reasons is its polarizing ending and what it meant to Arthur Fleck as a character throughout his journey in the two films.

To recap, the sequel ended with an Arkham Asylum inmate (played by Jacob Lofland) repeatedly stabbing Arthur in the abdomen and carving a smile on his face. He laughed hysterically as Arthur bleeds to death.

Todd Phillips Explains Joker: Folie à Deux's Controversial Ending

In an interview, Phillips explained his creative decisions for the ending of Joker: Folie à Deux which has polarized a lot of fans.

Joker: Folie à Deux Report Reveals Controversial Ending Was Originally Part of the First Movie - Main Image

A new report revealed that Joker: Folie à Deux's controversial ending was originally planned for the first film.

Since its release, the sequel has been heavily criticized by both critics and fans, especially its ending as they felt that it was a betrayal to the audience who have followed Arthur Fleck's journey from the very beginning.

While ending a movie like that might be seen as bold and gutsy, it is clear that the general audience has rejected the idea and it has become the subject of online discourse with different interpretations on what it might have implied.

Joker: Folie à Deux's Ending Was Originally Intended for the First Film

According to a new report that explored the sequel's disastrous box office performance, the controversial ending of Joker: Folie à Deux...

"Joker 2," or "Joker: Folie à Deux" as absolutely nobody calls it, is finally here! And the results ... are mixed (although you can read our pretty positive review right here). For the sequel to his billion dollar hit "Joker," director Todd Phillips has made a film that deliberately sets out to interrogate the audience of the first film. "Oh, you liked Arthur Fleck?" Phillips is asking here. "Why??" In theory, this is a fascinating idea. I'm all for sequels that try to deconstruct and re-contextualize what came before. On top of that, "Joker 2" is a musical! All of this sounds great on paper.

Unfortunately, the film is a bit of a slog. It's so joyless and dour that watching it begins to feel like a chore. On top of that, Phillips seems genuinely afraid of embracing the musical aspect of the movie — which makes you wonder why the hell...

Will There Be A Joker 3? Director Explains Why Not - Main Image

Joker: Folie à Deux is finally here, and Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker, alongside Lady Gaga as Harley “Lee” Quinzel, have set in motion a series of dramatic events that lead many fans eager for a Joker 3.

Director Todd Phillips has already addressed the possibility of making more Joker movies.

While he seems to suggest that fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a third instalment, this does sound a lot like his previous statement that Joker 2 wouldn’t happen. This time, though, things are a lot more complicated.

The Future of The Joker

For one, Arthur dies at the end of Joker 2, making a third movie highly unlikely. Also, this time Phillips is adamant that the two films are enough.

“It’s not really where this movie is headed for me,...

Joker: Folie à Deux arrives in theaters later today and the ending...well, it's one bound to generate a lot of debate and controversy among comic book fans. 

Throughout the course of the Joker sequel, Lady Gaga's Lee pushes Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) to become his "true" self, Joker. However, after a harrowing trial which sees the psychopath forced to reckon with his past actions, Arthur - dressed as Joker - reveals that the persona was just a fantasy and says he was the one who murdered those people. 

Lee is in equal parts heartbroken and horrified by this revelation and walks out of the courtroom along with Joker's many other supporters. When a verdict is later reached, a bomb goes off and Arthur is taken to freedom by two of his most devoted fanatics. 

He runs from them shortly after and reunites with Lee. He begs her to...

One of the most highly anticipated sequels of the year, Joker: Folie à Deux, is set to hit theaters on October 4, 2024. With the release date fast approaching, the film has once again become a hot topic online, especially as many fans have already seen early previews ahead of the official premiere (not including those fortunate enough to catch it at the Venice Film Festival!).

Todd Phillips returns as director and co-writer, while Joaquin Phoenix reprises his Oscar-winning role from the original film, which earned two Academy Awards (Best Actor for Phoenix and Best Original Score) and grossed $1.079 billion globally.

This time, Lady Gaga joins him in a lead role. Despite the high expectations, however, early reactions have been far from positive. In this report, we’ll take a closer look at some of the initial fan reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux.

As mentioned earlier, Joaquin Phoenix returns in his Oscar-winning role,...

There’s a lot of promise in the idea of a musical starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga playing the Joker and Harley Quinn, especially in the latter being portrayed as the ultimate unstable fangirl, and giving Arthur Fleck something to hope for as he goes on trial for the murders committed in Joker. Imagine what John Waters or Paul Thomas Anderson would do with that premise. Hell, we don’t even have to imagine an animated take, as Joker: Folie à Deux’s one true masterstroke of sinister, madcap joy is starting with a short recap of Arthur Fleck’s story created by The Triplets of Belleville director Sylvain Chomet.

When that short is over, though, we get the Todd Phillips version, which is largely anchored to stone-faced reality for 130-plus excruciatingly withholding minutes. In grappling with the implications of its story, Folie à Deux’s every attempt at showcasing cleverness,...

One of the most anticipated sequels and movies of this year, Joker: Folie à Deux, is coming to theaters on October 4, 2024, and with the release date approaching, the film is once again the talking point online, especially considering that a lot of the fans were able to see the early previews before the official premiere (not counting those who were lucky enough to see it in Venice!).

As you know, Todd Phillips is back as director and co-writer, and Joaquin Phoenix is reprising his role from the original movie that brought home two Oscars, as well as a $1.079-billion income. Lady Gaga will be joining him in the main role, and while everyone was expecting a lot, the initial reactions are far from good.

As said, some lucky fans have had the chance to see the movie a few days before the premiere, and in this report, we are going...

Like the first film, which left fans and critics divided upon its release in 2019, it appears Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker: Folie à Deux is shaping out to be a similar case. While the sequel has opened to underwhelming critical reception, which was also the case for its predecessor, it seems fans’ reaction to the film is going to be a lot more mixed than the first entry.

With the ending of Joker‘s musical successor hitting the web, many are convinced that it would greatly divide the fanbase, as it directly tackles the themes presented in the first film.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoiler-filled discussions about the Joker: Folie à Deux climax

Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker: Folie à Deux has been very divisive among the DC fan base. The film promised a visual spectacle that continues Arthur Fleck’s story from the first film, adding Lady Gaga to the cast as Harley Quinn. However, not all DC fans could agree to the climax of the film, which apparently introduces a new Joker to the mix.

Whether that sounds brilliant or dumb depends on how you took the message of Todd Phillips’ first film. As expected, Joker 2 is more like a courtroom drama, where Fleck’s attorney tries to prove that the crimes of Phoenix’s character in the first film were committed by this other personality called “Joker”.

Joker 2's Twisted Ending Leaks Sending DC Fans Into a Frenzy - Main Image

Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips recently teased the "unsettling" ending DC fans can expect from the sequel. However, DC diehards aren't exactly psyched to have found the leaked twist behind the sequel's ending is...

Spoiler Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the ending of Joker: Folie à Deux, so proceed with caution.

Joker: Folie à Deux's Twisted Ending Has Been Leaked and DC Fans Are Not Happy About It

Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips has previously opened up about his decision to end Arthur Fleck's journey with the sequel.

However, considering how the sequel was made possible in the first place, fans were quite skeptical about it.

According to the helmer, his tease about the ending of Joker 2 would "hopefully answer all questions" fans had about the first flick, which likely involves Arthur Fleck's backstory.

When the review embargo for Joker: Folie à Deux lifted, a couple of the trades - never ones to give spoilers a second thought - alluded to the movie's potentially divisive ending. 

The suggestion was that Arthur Fleck dies, meaning he never becomes one of Batman's greatest enemies...something which hasn't ever seemed overly likely in the grounded world filmmaker Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix have created.

Now, following an additional round of screenings, we have a better idea of why the director recently described the Joker sequel's conclusion as "unsettling" (alluding to reviews which took issue with Joker: Folie à Deux's final moments). 

TV spots for the movie have shown an explosion in the courtroom but, according to what we've been told, the blast doesn't kill Arthur. Instead, he manages to flee and reunites with Lee Quinzel...who promptly breaks up with him upon realising his true self is Arthur,...

Bruce Wayne is still a child in Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux, so the movies naturally take place in a period before Batman. But how would Arthur Fleck react if he came face-to-face with the real Batman?

Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips has a few thoughts on the matter. “I think Arthur would be in awe of the alpha male that is Batman. I really do,” Phillips told IGN. “I think Arthur would look up and appreciate it. I think he’d be in awe of that.”

Phillips believes “Arthur always had a fascination with men at ease, and he is not a man at ease. [Robert De Niro’s] Murray Franklin in the first movie was a man at ease. He probably saw the guys he worked with as men at ease, and that was the one thing that Arthur could never be was a man at ease.
