Joker and Batman are brothers? Here's the truth

In Todd Phillips' 'Joker,' the narrative delves into the origins of the iconic villain, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix in the role of Arthur Fleck. While Fleck was initially shown as a mentally unstable individual, he eventually became Gotham City and Batman's most deadly adversary.

A prominent theme in the film revolves around the complex relationship between Arthur and Thomas Wayne, raising intriguing questions, such as the possibility of Bruce Wayne's brother being the Joker.

Throughout the course of Todd Phillips' Joker, the character Arthur, played by Joaquin Phoenix, is depicted as an unreliable narrator. This prompts speculation about the authenticity of his story and the film's conclusion.


Speculations surrounding the plot of 'Joker: Folie à Deux' suggest that the sequel will adopt the perspective of Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn. It is proposed that her portrayal will involve perceiving her connection with Arthur as a romantic musical, continuing the exploration of an unreliable narrator.

Arthur discovers a letter from his mother, Penny, in which she claims that he is the illegitimate son of Thomas Wayne. According to Penny, they had an illicit relationship during her employment with him. She also alleged that Thomas utilized his wealth and influence to manipulate paperwork, creating a false impression that Arthur had been adopted by her.

Upon encountering Alfred at the entrance of Wayne Manor, shortly after attempting to interact with Bruce, Arthur realizes that Alfred remembers his mother. In a subsequent confrontation with Thomas in a theater restroom, Thomas vehemently denies any involvement with Penny and insists that Arthur is adopted.

To seek clarity, Arthur investigates Arkham and locates Penny's file. The document not only indicates that his mother suffered from delusional psychosis and narcissistic personality disorder but also reveals her conviction for endangering the welfare of her child.

So, there is clear indication that 'Joker' Arthur Fleck and 'Batman' Bruce Wayne are not siblings or half-brothers. However, we may get more clarity in the upcoming film.
