Did DC Just Reveal The True Origin Of Heath Ledger"s Joker? Theory Explained

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux.
The ending of Joker: Folie à Deux might have explained some of the mystery surrounding Heath Ledger"s Joker in 2008"s The Dark Knight. Set outside the mainstream DC Universe, Todd Phillips" Joker: Folie à Deux continued the story of Joaquin Phoenix"s Arthur Fleck, a troubled failed comedian who is loosely based on DC Comics" Clown Prince of Crime. Joker: Folie à Deux has received a mixed response, with some criticizing the lack of Joker action, but the movie"s ending might have revealed exactly why Fleck never really let loose as the Joker.
Instead of fully establishing him as the Joker, Arthur Fleck instead accepts that he was never destined to become the Joker in Joker: Folie à Deux. Fleck confesses his crimes in front of the jury following his elaborate trial, much to the dismay of Lady Gaga"s "Lee," Joker: Folie à Deux"s Harley Quinn. The symbol of the Joker was thrust on Arthur Fleck inadvertently in 2019"s Academy Award-winning Joker, but while Arthur Fleck was never supposed to become the Joker, Joker: Folie à Deux"s ending suggests a different version of the villain will rise in his place.
Joker: Foile À Deux's "New Joker" Could Reveal The Dark Knight Villain's Origin Story Joker: Folie À Deux May Have Ended With The Rise Of A New Joker Somewhat anticlimactically, Joker: Folie à Deux ends with Arthur Fleck being stabbed to death by a nameless inmate at Arkham Asylum, portrayed by Connor Storrie. Interestingly, while Fleck lies bleeding to death, Storrie"s inmate uses his blade on himself, carving a Glasgow Smile into his face, which is instantly reminiscent of the scars on the face of Heath Ledger"s Joker from 2008"s The Dark Knight. Storrie"s inmate"s aggressive and twisted "joke" and repetition of Fleck"s "you get what you deserve" quote also reflect the mythos and violence of Ledger"s Joker.
