Leans Traditional
Primary
Joker: Folie à Deux receives a neutral rating because its exploration of class struggle and societal breakdown is balanced by its depiction of a chaotic, potentially fascistic uprising and a character's retreat from extremism, leading to polarized interpretations rather than a clear ideological endorsement.
The film exhibits limited social diversity, focusing primarily on a white male protagonist and his psychological struggles. Female characters are present but largely serve to advance the male lead's story, lacking independent development or empowerment. The narrative does not explicitly engage with LGBTQ+ themes or offer a strong critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Joker: Folie à Deux does not feature explicit or significant LGBTQ+ representation within its main narrative. The film focuses on the relationship between Arthur Fleck and Harleen Quinzel, without incorporating queer characters or themes into its core story. Therefore, its net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features established DC Comics characters like Joker (Arthur Fleck) and Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel), both of whom retain their canonical genders from source material and previous portrayals. No other significant characters are identified as gender-swapped from their original or historical representations.
The film's criticism regarding race and diversity centers on the minimal and poorly developed presence of people of color and gender issues, not on the race-swapping of established characters. No major or legacy characters are indicated to have undergone a race change from their canonical or previous portrayals.
