Summary

  • 2024 will mark the first year since 2016 without a mainline DC film, making Joker 2's Elseworlds status significant.
  • The record-breaking stretch of 19 years between 2016 and 2035 will only have one exception to the long-running release each year of a DCEU/DCU film: 2024 with the release of Joker: Folie à Deux.
  • Joker 2's success is crucial for both its own franchise and for keeping audiences engaged with DC before James Gunn's DCU begins in 2025.
