Joker: Folie à Deux

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.

Continuity mistake: When the barber, towards the beginning of the movie, asks Arthur if he's got a joke for them, Joaquin Phoenix's face is cleaner from soap compared to the previous and following part of the scene - when it's thicker on the neck and goes all the way up on the cheekbone.

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.
