Much like her son, Penny suffered from an unspecified mental illness. She was responsible for letting her former boyfriend abuse Arthur in his childhood and was temporarily sent to the Arkham State Hospital for unsolicited claims.
Penny had a mental disorder and her case history records at the mental health clinic mention Arthur having a head injury after she abused him, tied him to a radiator and beat him alongside her abusive boyfriend.
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.
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).
One of the biggest twists in the story is the reveal of some parts of Arthur's life being all in his head, including his romance with her. The two do interact in the elevator early on, but everything after that is part of Arthur's imagination within Joker; it never really happens.

Did Arthur actually kiss Sophie?
At one point, Arthur rings the bell of Sophie's apartment and, after she opens the door, he kisses her promptly. Sophie appears to enjoy that surprise.
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.
Released earlier in February, the new season of Netflix's 'You' has once again got fans talking about protagonist Joe Goldberg's condition – erotomania. Goldberg, a character played by actor Penn Badgley, is a bookstore manager who has a delusional obsession with a new woman each season.
Later, Arthur goes to Arkham State Hospital and steals his mother's records, and finds out that he was in fact adopted, and that Thomas Wayne is not his father and that Penny is not his true mother.
Because his mother lied to him about the fact that Thomas Wayne wasn't his father. After stealing some files from Arkham, he finally learned that he was adopted, and that his mother abused him maliciously as a child. (Hence the laughter.) So he suffocated his mother with a pillow.
Conclusion: Penny did in fact have an affair with Thomas Wayne however they made her sign an adoption form for her own child to cover it up. We know she signed papers and we now know she did have an affair with 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.
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.
According to the Joker, his father was "a drinker and a fiend". Joker claimed that his father gave him his cheek scars due to his being terrified when his father brutally stabbed his mother sadistically with a kitchen knife when she attempted to use to defend herself.
During the story's conclusion, it revealed that Jeannie had informed the GCPD of the Ace Chemicals heist and had faked her death to go into witness protection.
It is no coincidence that Walt encompasses all nine characteristics of having a narcissistic personality disorder, as outlined in DSM-5. This shows that the more wealth he obtains, the further into narcissistic personality disorder he falls.
Upon arriving in London, Joe develops such an obsession with Rhys after reading his autobiography, A Good Man in a Cruel World, which Joe closely identifies with. Then the hallucinations start. “He's really desperate to see himself as a good person,” says Gamble.
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.
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.
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 mystery is quickly solved as The Joker gives "birth" by puking up brown goo in the next few panels of the comic. The sludge then forms into a young boy who looks very much like his father. One panel shows both The Joker and the newborn staring at each other, thinking "he's so handsome" in a shared thought bubble.
Why does the Joker have blood on his shoes at the end?
We see him exit the room he was being counseled/interrogated in with blood on the souls of his shoes, leading us to think he has killed his seventh victim in order to escape Arkham and to rejoin the uprising he inadvertently started. However, his violent rampage may have created the one person who can stop him.
