Joker: Folie à Deux Plot and Title Meaning
Although there isn't much we know about the plot of the upcoming movie yet, plenty of details from the trailer and the title give us a good idea of what to expect. The title of the Joker sequel - Folie à Deux, meaning "shared madness," seems to perfectly encapsulate what Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga's characters will experience.
In contrast to the first movie, the protagonist now has a partner, none other than Harley Quinn herself. While in the comics, Harley Quinn is a psychiatrist working at Arkham Hospital, she will now be portrayed as a patient instead. The two main characters will cross paths in the mental institution where they both reside. As the trailer reveals, Harley and the Joker will share similar dark minds and perspectives, resulting not only in an alliance but also in an uncontrollable and dangerous love.

From what we can infer from the trailer, the Joker will find a way to escape Arkham Hospital, most likely with Harley's assistance. Subsequently, he will inevitably commit more crimes, as indicated by scenes of his recapture and subsequent court appearances.
