Arthur Fleck: The Man Behind the Joker

• Background:
  Arthur Fleck is a mentally ill and socially isolated man living in Gotham City in 1981. He works as a party clown but dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian. Arthur suffers from a neurological condition that causes uncontrollable laughter at inappropriate times, further alienating him from those around him.

  • Lives in poverty with his mother, Penny Fleck, who claims that Arthur is the illegitimate son of Gotham’s powerful businessman, Thomas Wayne.
  • Endures ridicule, bullying, and violence from society, highlighting systemic neglect of mental health and the disenfranchised.

• Transformation:
  After a series of personal tragedies, betrayals, and public humiliations, Arthur snaps. His transformation into the Joker begins when he kills three men on a subway train in an act of self-defense that turns into cold-blooded murder. This event inadvertently inspires a movement against Gotham's elite, symbolized by clown masks.
