THE FIRST FILM

The 2019 film broke the box office and grossed over $1 billion globally.

It had Arthur Fleck as a failed comedian walking the streets of Gotham City.

He had two masks – the one he uses for his day job as a clown and the other is a guise he projects in an attempt to feel like he’s part of the world around him.

Arthur began a slow descent into madness after being isolated, bullied, and disregarded by society.

That is when he becomes the criminal mastermind known as The Joker.
