Joker and Lee (Harley Quinn) set off a bomb during Arthur's trial. Arthur flees after the blast, aided by his supporters. Eventually he reaches the stairs where Lee breaks up with him (as she realizes he’s not the joker, but his true self is Arthur) and then the police arrests him and sends him back to the asylum. Here a fellow inmate, comes to Arthur, to tell him a joke but instead of the punch line, he stabs him with knives in the stomach. Arthur is left to bleed and die and this fellow laughs psychotically, and gives himself the Joker/Heath Ledger style Glasgow smile with the knife. Movie ends. "That’s Life" cover by Gaga plays.
I guess they got pissed off that the audience had a more sympathetic reaction rather than what was intended that they must now punish the character and degrade him further.
Spoiler. Spoilers. Spoilers.
Imagine being this fragile the execs kill their own franchise because their original "fuckup" was popular with "the wrong people".
Director Todd Phillips recently told Variety that there will definitely not be "Joker 3."
Really?
Oh, the crater that movie is gonna leave is gonna be hot enough to toast marshmallows with...
I believe the trope for this is "Torch the Franchise and Run."
