Stupidity: When an explosion hits the courtroom, Arthur is the closest person to it, with nothing to protect him, but he is the first and only one to recover, and every bailiff (not to mention the police outside the courthouse) outside of explosion range is mysteriously knocked out and/or absent.
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Todd Phillips
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Ken Leung
Continuity mistake: During the interview for the commission, Arthur's psychiatrist asks him about his mother's voice. He replies, "What does that mean?" cigarette in hand, barely above the table. In the next shot, the cigarette is in his mouth. She asks a few seconds later about Joker, "Would he like to talk to me?" Joaquin Phoenix is smoking his cigarette at a different angle between shots.
Trivia: SPOILERS: Director Todd Phillips has defended the controversial ending, in which it is revealed that Arthur is not the Joker who would go on to fight Batman when he is stabbed and killed by another inmate, who then carves a smile onto his face. Phillips noted that the two films were called "Joker," and not "THE Joker," and stated that Arthur was the person who inspired the real Joker—presumably the inmate who killed him. However, this explanation was poorly received by fans, who felt duped.
