The DC Universe starts in 2024, and the most anticipated movie villain for the years proves that the new Elseworlds label is necessary for the DCU.

DC's new Elseworlds label allows for experimental projects that exist outside of the main DCU canon, attracting interest from a wider audience.
Lady Gaga's casting as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux is a perfect fit due to the film's musical direction, showcasing how the Elseworlds label allows for unique creative choices.
Gaga's casting in the Elseworlds project proves that the main DCU could not have accommodated her schedule and would not have had room for another actress to portray Harley Quinn.
