Calling all DC Comics fans: the new Joker sequel, Folie à Deux, hits the big screen Friday. Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix reprises his iconic role as the smiling supervillain who eventually goes on to battle Batman.

BU Today is celebrating the release of Joker: Folie à Deux with a trivia quiz. The prize? Two tickets to a 7:45 pm showing Friday night at AMC Boston Common-19. To enter, answer all of the questions on the form below correctly and submit by noon today, October 4. BU Today will announce the winner by 1 pm today.

*Spoilers for the movie's plot below.*

The sequel continues with the Joker's (Arthur Fleck) backstory. Fleck is about to go on trial for his crimes, and while he is held in Gotham's Arkham Asylum, he meets Harleen "Lee" Quinzel, who will eventually become his sidekick Harley Quinn. Playing her is megastar Lady Gaga, which makes sense since the film is described as a "musical psychological thriller."

Director Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover) took full advantage of Gaga's casting and gave her the chance to belt out a handful of old-time song covers, albeit with much less Broadway cheeriness.

*End of spoilers.*

To enter our contest, answer the questions in the form below by noon today. Be sure to include your phone number, email address, and BU affiliation. The winner will be notified by email or phone.
