Disjointed mess that you can expect from a writing session based around a singer, an actor, and a director, that hated their original movie’s audience, scribbling on napkins, to make.
It feels like the producers told them it still had to be a joker film and that’s where you get the makeup and action set pieces from but they get ignored every time for excuses that are basically “because we shouldn’t tell this story, we think, we will sorta berate you, and give you no reason to watch this as it’s all fake”
I just realized it’s still a rip off of Scorsese and like a literal reverse of "Shutter Island"

Oh man you thought he was a detective the Joker the whole time? No he’s just a crazy person who is miserable, and the real villain is guilt a different joker.

Your spoiler section is missing the point which is what the movie was showing and that’s rather funny.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler There never was another joker or another personality. The whole point of this movie is Arthur thought he found a community and someone who loved him for the mess that he was but everyone only wanted the other Joker to start a movement or light the world on fire and in this world nobody gets what they want. ::
