The Joker used different methods of murderranging from shooting Wall Street men after they threw him to the ground and kicked him, to suffocating his mother with a pillow, to shooting Murray Franklin in the head on live television and much more. After killing six people, Joker’s ending hinted at one final victim.

While the Joker directly killed six people throughout the 2019 film, and his actions served as inspiration for other deaths, such as Bruce Wayne’s parents being shot to death, Arthur Fleck was never shown killing what could have been his final victim.

Arthur Fleck’s mind can’t be trusted

The only plausible explanation JokerThe ending now that it has been revealed that Arthur Fleck did not kill the psychiatrist is that the scene took place in the character’s imagination.

Adding to this, Arthur’s last words to the Arkham psychiatrist are:You wouldn’t understand it“,” which could also have been director Todd Phillips’ way of subtly allaying the audience’s doubts about what happened at the end.

Both Joker And Joker: Folie à Deux There were several scenes in which Arthur Fleck imagined he had done something that he had not actually done. Well, killing the psychiatrist and then dancing around Arkham was apparently part of the Joker’s imagination.
