Joker killed Murray Franklin on live TV

The official debut of Arthur Fleck as the Joker

The biggest thing to remember is that Arthur Fleck publicly debuted his new Joker persona on live television, having been invited to the Murray Franklin Show after his lackluster stand-up routine was featured on the show. Not only does Arthur confess to his past killings while dressed as a clown, but he also shares a personal manifesto about what he felt was wrong with Gotham before shooting Robert De Niro’s Murray in the head. Naturally, this sends the entire audience and production into chaos, as well as the entire town that saw it happen live.

Joker’s murder and confessions on live TV will probably play a big role in Foley and Dukes. After all, the footage will likely be used as key evidence during Arthur’s trial.

Arthur Fleck’s Joker ignites a major riot in Gotham City

Inspiring others to chaos

Arthur’s appearance on live television also resulted in mass riots across Gotham How many citizens went to the streets dressed as clowns. Like Joker, Arthur became a dark inspiration, taking the city that is already full of tensions and turning it into a time bomb. Then he got away with killing Murray Franklin, while also loving the new public spotlight he had created for himself. Likewise, the crowd support for Arthur will play a part Joker: Folie a DeuxWith many still supporting Fleck during his trial as seen in trailers.

Arthur Fleck was incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital

He will still be there at the beginning of Folie à Deux

After his eventual arrest, Arthur is shown incarcerated and trying to escape from Arkham State Hospital in late 2019 Joker. Arthur was shown visiting Arkham earlier in the movie where it seems he once had a temporary stay and also received medication and routine psychiatric visits after his release. It was also confirmed that Arthur stopped taking his meds after he lost his social worker due to funding cuts.

to this end, Trailers for Foley and Dukes have shown that Arthur will continue to be incarcerated in Arkham before his trial. Also, it seems that he will eventually meet Lady Gaga’s version of Harley known as “Lee” in Arkham.

Arthur hallucinated his relationship with Sophie

Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn will likely be his first real relationship

in 2019 JokerArthur meets his neighbor Sophie (Zazi Beets) and her daughter. The pair quickly form a relationship, and they eventually go on a few dates. This includes Sophie attending and supporting Arthur’s stand-up comedy. however, It is eventually revealed that Arthur hallucinated the entire relationship with Sophie near the movie’s endThe result of his various spiritual understandings.

With that in mind, it seems Lee will likely become Arthur’s first real love interest. However, it stands to reason that the attraction for Lee is more about Joker than it will be about Arthur.

Arthur killed Randall (but spared Gary)

Gary will take the stand

While preparing for the Murray Franklin show, Arthur is visited by Randall and Gary (Leigh Gill), fellow clowns he worked with before he was fired for carrying a gun.

However, Joker lets Gary live like he was the best person he ever worked with.

Gary’s survival is important to remember as he was confirmed to appear in Foley and Dukes. Seen in trailers taking the stone into a courtroom, he will most likely provide testimony during Arthur’s trial. That said, it will be interesting to see if the evidence ends up helping or hurting Arthur’s case.

Gotham is still engaged in significant class warfare

The poor against the rich

It is also important to remember that Arthur Fleck became the Joker and his murders were simply the straw that broke the camel’s back. Gotham was already in turmoil before Arthur became a public figureAs evidenced by ongoing garbage strikes while one of Gotham’s richest was running for mayor. Likewise, Thomas Wayne’s comments condemning Arthur’s murders only exacerbated Gotham’s major class divide: “Those of us who have made something of our lives will always look like those who have made nothing but clowns.” As such, it looks like the class warfare is only continuing on Foley and Dukes With Arthur became a key lightning rod.

The Joker riots led to the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents

The origins of Batman

Although this probably won’t play as much of a role in Foley and Dukes, It is worth remembering that the night of the riots Arthur Fleck instigated was not the origins of the Joker itself. The end of 2019 Joker It was also the beginning of Bruce Wayne and the beginning of his journey as Batman, seeing how Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed by one of the rioters. As such, it makes for an interesting dichotomy between the two classic DC Comics nemesis.

Arthur Fleck killed his mother

Penny Fleck

Suffering from her own disorders and dissociations, Penny Fleck (Frances Conroy) adopted Arthur Fleck as a child, abusing him along with her boyfriend which resulted in Arthur’s various conditions and disorders. She also spent time in Arkham, and she also produced a piece of fiction in which she had a romantic relationship with Thomas Wayne, for whom she once worked. She even went so far as to suggest that Arthur was his son, resulting in Arthur trying to confront Wayne in 2019. Joker.

For his part, Arthur’s abuse and conditions made him forget his mother’s role in the abuse, which is why they still lived together in the present. Once Arthur learned the truth about his mother’s lies, Joker smothered Penny with a pillow. As such, it is yet another murder that will likely be addressed during Arthur’s trial Foley and Dukes.

Besides killing Murray Franklin, Randall, and his mother, Arthur’s whole journey began when he was attacked by a group of rich guys on the subway.
