Joker: Folie à Deux, set to be released later this year, has stirred up discussions among fans with the recent teasers featuring Lady Gaga as DC's Harley Quinn. The character of Harley Quinn first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series back in 1992 and has since become an iconic figure in the DC universe.
With the latest audio snippet shared on social media, some fans have expressed concern over Lady Gaga's portrayal of Harley Quinn, particularly her apparent lack of the character's signature New York accent. This departure from the traditional accent has sparked debates among fans who are passionate about staying true to Harley Quinn's origins.
One user criticized Lady Gaga for using her 'normal voice' instead of adopting the expected accent, while another argued that previous portrayals of Harley Quinn, such as Margot Robbie's in David Ayer's version, have already deviated from the character's essence.
Despite the controversy surrounding Lady Gaga's portrayal, some fans have pointed out that the importance of Harley Quinn's original voice, as voiced by Arleen Sorkin, should not be overlooked. They suggest that maintaining the character's authenticity goes beyond just the accent.
It remains to be seen how fans will react to Lady Gaga's interpretation of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux and whether her performance will resonate with the diverse fan base that holds a deep connection to this beloved character.
