Penelope "Penny" Fleck is the secondary antagonist of the 2019 psychological thriller film Joker, the first installment of the DC Black film series. She is the adoptive mother of Arthur Fleck, a mentally unstable failed comedian whose lack of success and respect triggers his transformation into the Joker.
Thomas Wayne is a good man. Penny Fleck about Thomas Wayne. Penny Fleck was the adoptive mother of Arthur Fleck, a mentally unstable failed comedian who would later call himself the Joker. Much like her son, Penny suffered from an unspecified mental illness.
Not only was she mentally ill herself,not only was she delusional to the point that her delusions harmed his mental state,but her disorders caused her to allow him to be abused by her boyfriend,and abuse him herself[physically and emotionally primarily and respectively].
Yes, in the Joker (2019) movie, Arthur Fleck is revealed to have been adopted by Penny Fleck. Honestly, I don't think we know that for sure, and that's one of the things that makes the plot so clever. (But I am inclined to believe that he is not adopted.)
Image via Warner Bros. Key to Arthur's spiral is new information he learns from his mother Penny (Frances Conroy), with whom he lives. Arthur finds a letter Penny has written to Thomas Wayne, claiming that Wayne is Arthur's real father.
One of the mysteries in director Todd Phillips' Joker is whether Arthur Fleck really is the son of Thomas Wayne as his mother Penny Fleck claimed. Both Wayne himself and Alfred Pennyworth said it was untrue and that Penny was delusional, hence her eventual stay in Arkham Asylum.
However, given her role in Arthur's descent into complete insanity, there's one certain thing about Penny Fleck: she is partially responsible for making her son to become the person he is now.
To make this happen, the most famous clown in comics persuades the wizard Zatanna, however, she wants nothing to do with the Joker and she casts a spell but it backfires and he is the one that becomes pregnant.
Batman and Joker definitely aren't brothers in the comics. While the Joker movie plays very deeply with this idea, it still maintains the same stance. In the books, Joker's origin story has been a mystery. Readers have come across multiple different ones over the years.
The comics series The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing features Batman's nemesis get pregnant after a curse is placed on him, Daily Mail reported. Eventually, the Joker "vomits a sort of brown goo" that transforms first into a baby boy and then into a mini version of himself.
The psychopathology Arthur exhibits is unclear, preventing diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia; the unusual combination of symptoms suggests a complex mix of features of certain personality traits, namely psychopathy and narcissism (he meets DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder).
Joker's mom was mentally ill and was delusional. This was reflected in how she raised Arthur; it explains why HE was as screwed up as he was. Her delusions were becoming a problem. That's why Thomas Wayne had her committed, not because he had an affair to cover up by hiding her in a mental institution.
One of the biggest revelations in Joker was that Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck's relationship with Zazie Beetz's Sophie was not real and was all inside his mind. This, according to Beetz, was not set from the start and Sophie's role and story actually evolved and changed during filming.
Batman: Three Jokers #1 (August 2020). In Batman's origin story, Joe Chill is the mugger who murders young Bruce Wayne's parents, Dr. Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne. The murder traumatizes Bruce, inspiring his vow to avenge their deaths by fighting crime in Gotham City as the vigilante Batman.
WASHINGTON (TND) — The Joker, a major villain in the DC comics universe universally known as the archenemy of legendary superhero Batman, becomes pregnant and gives birth in the latest issue of his spinoff comic book series.
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, Harley Quinn reveals she gave birth to Joker's daughter, but gave her up for adoption rather than subject her to a life with Joker as a father. Similarly, Harley becomes a mother to twin children in the Batman: White Knight universe, though with happier results.
She again called herself the Joker's Daughter and traded chattering teeth and riddles for more deadly accessories. She was shot to death by Batman IV, Tim Drake of the future. Before she was killed, she hinted that she knew more about him when he was younger.
History. She is the wife of Thomas Wayne and the mother of Bruce Wayne. Joe Chill murders Bruce Wayne, rather than the boy's parents. Martha Wayne was so traumatized by the event she becomes the Joker.
Following her introduction to the comics in 1999, Harley Quinn was depicted as the sidekick and lover of the Joker as well as the criminal associate and best friend of Poison Ivy.
DC has made it common not to give The Joker any solid backstory or family, but they still managed to accidentally give him a son. Due to DC canceling a comic just a bit too early, they unintentionally left Joker with a son in the form of Lonnie Machin, also known as Anarky.
That's right: Batman and Joker are half-brothers, at least according to Penny. The movie never explicitly makes clear whether that's true or not. Arthur, donning a red clown nose, pays a visit to Wayne Manor and performs an impromptu magic show for an enthralled young Bruce Wayne (played by Dante Pereira-Olson).
Wayne violently asserts that he is not Arthur's father as soon as Arthur introduces himself, and point-blank tells Arthur that he was adopted and that Penny Fleck had been committed because of her delusional belief there was something between her and Wayne.
Each twin adapts different characteristics of the DC Comics supervillain the Joker. Jerome is depicted as a psychotic nihilist who spreads chaos in Gotham City until his eventual death, while Jeremiah is a cunning psychopath obsessed with tormenting Bruce Wayne.
