Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Director Todd Phillips unpacked Arthur Fleck"s shocking realization at the end of Joker: Folie à Deux in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. According to Phillips, Fleck realized he never truly wanted to be the anti-institution hero he became, so he shed that false identity. The director stated:

He realized that everything is so corrupt, it’s never going to change, and the only way to fix it is to burn it all down. When those guards kill that kid in the [hospital] he realizes that dressing up in makeup, putting on this thing, it’s not changing anything. In some ways, he’s accepted the fact that he’s always been Arthur Fleck; he’s never been this thing that’s been put upon him, this idea that Gotham people put on him, that he represents. He’s an unwitting icon. This thing was placed on him, and he doesn’t want to live as a fake anymore — he wants to be who he is. The sad thing is, he"s Arthur, and nobody cares about Arthur. [Lady Gaga]"s Lee never says Arthur [until she leaves him in the end]. [She"s] realizing, I’m on a whole other trip, man, you can’t be what I wanted you to be.

Joker: Folie à Deux is currently playing in theaters.
