Don’t expect Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn to be completely comic accurate, says Joker: Folie à Deux director: “We stripped that away”

Lady Gaga’s take on Harley Quinn will be different to the character we know and love from DC Comics, says Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips. 

Gaga is playing Lee in the film, a version of Harley, as she stars opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who is returning as the Joker.
