Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck aka the Joker, wearing a white suit and grinning in Joker: Folie A Deux.
Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux.Joker: Folie à Deux features a shocking ending. Arthur Fleck , the criminal known as"Joker," is brutally killed in prison and stabbed to death by another inmate . However, the scene features an eerie twist. As Fleck slowly bleeds out on the ground, the inmate uses a shiv to slash his own face into a"Glasgow Smile," reminiscent of The Joker portrayed by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
The original 2005 Batman Begins was set around the same time of its release and depicts Bruce Wayne's origins as Batman. If Bruce was about eight or nine years old when his parents were murdered, and he's around 28 when he assumes his Batman activities, that puts his parents' murders at around the mid-1980s in the timeline of Nolan's trilogy. That is much later than the setting of Phillips' Joker.
Christopher Nolan Originally Blocked a Similar Ending Happening in 'Joker' Close Curiously, a similar ending to Joker: Folie à Deux was meant to happen in Joker. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the original ending for the 2019 Joker script featured Fleck's Joker carving smile scars into his face in front of a crowd of supporters. However, Nolan reportedly halted the idea.
