Hideo Kojima gives his verdict on Joker: Folie à Deux, and it's much more positive than his Venom or Madame Web reviews

Upcoming superhero movies: Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in the movie Joker 2.

Hideo Kojima has given his verdict on Joker: Folie à Deux, and while it's not strictly glowing, it is a lot more positive than his takes on Venom: The Last Dance or Madame Web. 

"I watched Joker: Folie à Deux. The beginning of the film is an animation sequence, reminiscent of the nostalgic Looney Tunes, depicting a story of Joker and Joker’s shadow," Kojima wrote on Twitter. "In the trial that follows, the question of his multiple personality is argued from beginning to end. Is the Joker Arthur? Is the Joker another personality (his shadow)? Who exactly is Arthur? This revelation eventually transforms into a meta-perspective. In the previous film, Joker, was it really Joker who captivated audiences around the world? Or was it Arthur? This question is constantly raised to Lee and even to the people of Gotham City within the film.
