lets get started for read.

party clown and aspiring stand-up comedian Arthur Fleck lives with his mother, Penny, in Gotham City, which is rife with crime and unemployment. Arthur suffers from a neurological disorder that greatly affects his behavior in society: he is psychotically delusional, has incoherent speech and tone, and shows inappropriate emotional responses to stressful situations (he can burst into uncontrollable laughter when nervous). After delinquents attack Arthur, his co-worker Randall gives him a gun for protection. Arthur pursues a relationship with his neighbor, single mother Sophie Dumond, and invites her to his upcoming stand-up routine at a nightclub.

While entertaining at a children's hospital, Arthur's gun falls out of his pocket. Arthur is fired when Randall lies to their manager that the gun was Arthur's own. On the subway, still in clown makeup, Arthur is beaten by three drunk Wayne Enterprises businessmen; he shoots two dead in self-defense and wounds the third before pursuing him off the train and killing him as well. The killings are condemned by billionaire mayoral candidate Thomas Wayne, who calls those envious of more successful people "clowns." Demonstrations against Gotham's rich begin, with protesters donning clown masks in Arthur's image. Funding cuts shut down the social service program, leaving Arthur without his therapy and medication.

Sophie attends Arthur's stand-up routine, which goes poorly; he laughs uncontrollably, and his jokes fall flat. Arthur's idol, popular talk show host Murray Franklin, mocks Arthur by showing clips from the comedy routine on his show. Arthur intercepts a letter written by Penny to Thomas, alleging that he is Thomas's illegitimate son, and berates his mother for hiding the truth. Arthur goes to Wayne Manor, where he meets Thomas's young son Bruce, but flees after a scuffle with the family butler Alfred Pennyworth. Following a visit from two police detectives investigating the train murders, Penny suffers a stroke and is hospitalized.

Arthur sneaks into a private movie theater event and confronts Thomas, who tells him that Penny is delusional and not his biological mother. In denial, Arthur visits Arkham State Hospital and steals Penny's file; the file states she adopted Arthur while working as a nurse at the hospital in the 1950s. Penny then raised Arthur along with her abusive boyfriend, who was later arrested and died in jail. Although Penny claims that she had an affair with Thomas, it is hinted to have been a lie fabricated in order to blackmail him into paying alimony, a scheme that was ultimately unsuccessful. Distraught, Arthur returns home and enters Sophie's apartment unannounced. Frightened, Sophie tells him he is in the wrong apartment and asks him to leave; it is then revealed that their relationship was a figment of Arthur's delusions. The following day, Arthur kills Penny at the hospital by smothering her with a pillow.

Arthur is invited to appear on Murray's show due to the popularity of his stand-up routine clips. As he prepares, Arthur is visited by his ex-colleagues Gary and Randall. Arthur murders Randall for revenge but spares Gary for treating him well in the past. En route to the studio, Arthur is pursued by the two detectives onto a train filled with clown protesters. One detective accidentally shoots a protester and incites a riot, allowing Arthur to escape; the rioters brutally beat the detectives as Arthur leaves.

Before the show goes live, Arthur requests that Murray introduce him as Joker – a reference to Murray's mockery. Arthur waltzes out to applause but the mood changes when he behaves lewdly, tells morbid jokes, confesses to the train murders, rants about how society abandons the downtrodden and mentally ill, and berates Murray for mocking him on the previous segment. Murray's enthusiasm for Arthur quickly turns, and as Murray threatens to call the police, Arthur shoots him in the head on live television. He is arrested for murder as riots break out across Gotham. One of the rioters corners the Wayne family in an alley and murders Thomas and his wife, Martha, sparing Bruce.[a] Rioters in an ambulance crash into the police car carrying Arthur, freeing him; he stands atop the car, dances to the cheers of the crowd, and smears blood on his face in the form of a smile.

At Arkham State Hospital, Arthur laughs to himself about a joke and tells his psychiatrist she would not understand it. He seemingly escapes from his psychotherapy session, leaving behind a trail of bloodied footprints as he runs from an orderly.
