Joker 2 Folie A Deux review: WTF happened?
Below you can see the timeline of Joker: Folie à Deux and the time period in which the story takes place.
The story of Joker 2: Folie à Deux takes place in the Elseworlds timeline, specifically in the fictional city of Gotham in the year 1983.
Such a placement places the film two years after the events of the first Joker film, allowing the story to continue in a separate, alternate universe. The 2019 film intentionally deviated from the established DC Extended Universe by setting the story in a 1980s Gotham City inspired by New York City.
