One of the most anticipated releases of the fall, Joker: Folie à Deux, is being met with a somewhat cooler reception than the first film. If you’re looking for great content about Joker and Harley Quinn, though, the movie theater is not the only place you can find it.

Timed to the movie’s release, Hoopla, an online reading service that partners with local libraries, has announced that they have a collection of comics and other media related to the superhero spinoff. In fact, they have an entire Joker collection that features Joker and Harley Quinn comics, as well as the soundtracks to both films and Harlequin, Lady Gaga’s new album, which was released to tie in with the film. The collection also includes Hoopla’s exclusive collection of DC Manga, including Joker: One Operation Joker. In total, the collection includes more than 50 comic books and albums to explore.

All you need to access Hoopla’s collection is a library card that they can verify online. The service’s convenience comes in part from the fact that you don’t even have to leave your home to take advantage of it.

While the Joker offerings are likely going to be a major draw in the days ahead, Hoopla also has offerings like the soundtrack from The Batman as well as plenty of e-books and audiobooks that you can peruse at your leisure. Joker and Harley Quinn are two characters with a long history both together and separately, and Hoopla has much of that history available on their service.

What went wrong with Joker 2? Why Joker: Folie à Deux bombed big-time

In 2019, Joker was a massive success for Warner Bros., director Todd Phillips, and Joaquin Phoenix, who went on to win an Oscar for Best Actor for his turn as Arthur Fleck/Joker. It broke records for an R-rated film and finished with $1.079 billion worldwide. With that kind of money, it's easy to see why Warner Bros. wanted a sequel so badly. And thus all roads led to Joker 2, which is better known as Joker: Folie à Deux. In case you were wondering, the subtitle means "madness for two," but there may be more than two people going mad at Warner Bros. over the opening weekend that Folie à Deux had.

Joker: Folie à Deux has officially fallen farther than any other comic book movie in at least one noteworthy metric.

The hype surrounding the once highly anticipated sequel to 2019's Joker has been on a steady decline ever since the initial, lukewarm reactions to it started to come following its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in early September. A month later, the film has received largely negative reviews from both critics and casual viewers alike. It is also expected to fall short in its first weekend of its predecessor's $96 million box office opening.

Love it or hate it, 2019's Joker was a global phenomenon. Todd Phillips' origin story for Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), aka the Joker, became a critical success — it won two Oscars and one Golden Lion — and a financial juggernaut with a worldwide gross of over $1 billion. Five years later, Phillips and Phoenix reteamed for the sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, while also recruiting the services of Lady Gaga to play Harley Quinn.

Like its predecessor, Joker 2 will be extremely polarizing. Folie à Deux has already received more negative reviews than Joker, and its box office haul will be significantly less than the billion-dollar mark reached by its predecessor. However, there will still inevitably be many fans of the agent of chaos. If you're looking for more films like Joker 2, try one of these three movies below.
