Joker (Movie)
The Why So Serious? Movie is another craptastic prequel in the Batverse that was designed to show how, and excuse his behavior as the Joker. Its whole 120-minute purpose is to demonstrate how the Joker came about growing up as a neglected child of society that was tied to radiators and abused by his mother's boyfriends, having a batshit insane mother, and keeps getting himself into bad situations because he has Pseudobulbar Affect and laughs at the wrong times.
Trying to be similar to the movie Taxi Driver it absolutely fails and will likely become a meme for the normies forever.
As a failed comedian, Arthur Fleck/The Joker doesn't get noticed until he becomes a pre-internet meme. In the talk show era of the 1980s, Arthur Fleck gets roasted when his standup routine is shown on a late-night talk show where he is standing at the mic laughing and badly telling jokes.
During this, The Joker, Arthur Fleck, winds up starting a movement against the rich by doing a Bernie Goetz on a subway killing 3 Wall-Street power brokers who decided to kick the shit out of him because he was laughing when they were throwing French Fries at a lonely woman on a train.
The movie climaxes, finally, when he shoots late-night talk show host Murray Franklin on live tv as the punchline to a joke and goes on a tirade where it is the societal system that defines what is right and wrong and kills Murray because his goal was to make fun of him. Contents
Plot
The movie spends 120 minutes trying to show The Joker's acceptance of what he truly is, a batshit insane, psychopathic killing machine.
For the most part, it fails because it waits to do a reveal at the end of the movie that what he thought was a relationship with the nigress down the hall was all a hallucination.
To put it simply it sux because if you haven't seen movies like Taxi Driver then you miss the subtle nuances of him talking to himself for some type of attention.
Characters
| Name | Description | Picture |
|---|---|---|
| Arthur Fleck | the Joker Sees his killing of the brokers as people starting to notice him. All around, an uninteresting character until the end of the movie when he causes a riot in Gotham City by murdering Murray Franklin. Was adopted by Penny Fleck but she tells him he is the bastard son of Thomas Wayne because she is playing with a deck of 51 and has no solid grasp on reality. Gets his name The Joker from Murray Franklin who used the name to describe his bad standup routine where all he did was stand there and laugh. Lives in a world where everyone is cruel, rude, stand-offish, and willing to fight at any moment. What the movie tries to do is make him a victim of society by showing the mental health cuts during the 1980s when he is actually a product of the home where he was beaten, starved, and tied to radiators as a child. when he finally accepts the Joker persona he murders his adoptive mother, Penny Fleck in her hospital bed by smothering her |  |
| Penny Fleck | The Whorish mother of Arthur that is delusional and believes that she had an affair with Thomas Wayne, Batman's Father. was arrested and placed in Arkham Asylum because she abused Arthur and was mentally incompetent, suffering from illnesses like narcissism. Throughout most of the movie, Arthur is stuck taking care of her while she writes letters to Thomas Wayne thinking that he will rescue her from her situation because of the alleged history they have. Dies when Arthur accepts his being insane and the Joker. Is smothered to death in a hospital bed. |  |
| Thomas Wayne | If you're new to the Batman universe or have lived on Mars for the last 10,000 years then you need to be told that he dies in an alleyway after leaving a movie early. This time it's in an alley way during the riot the Joker causes after murdering Murray Franklin on live TV and admitting to murdering the 3 Wall street men. Arthur hates Thomas Wayne because in his words, "The lives of 3 rich men have value where, if he was dying on the sidewalk - Thomas would just step over him and continue on his way" Ironically calls people that hide behind masks cowards. |  |
| Murray Franklin | An asshole late-night talk show host that is supposed to be a cross between Johnny Carson and David Letterman. Introduces the Joker to the world when he is shot dead on National tv by him. Served as a surrogate father for Arthur as he watched him every night and had fantasies of Murray Franklin accepting him as the son he never had. |  |
