A new DC Universe theory changes how the final moments of Joker: Folie à Deux are watched, and gives audiences exactly the thing they wanted from the 2024 sequel. Despite following on from 2019"s Academy Award-winning Joker, Todd Phillips" Joker: Folie à Deux has not performed nearly as well, and has received a huge amount of criticism. This has been overwhelmingly aimed at the fact that Arthur Fleck never actually became the Joker in Folie à Deux, but rather renounced this identity and confessed to his crimes as the clown-themed villain.
While Lady Gaga"s Harleen "Lee" Quinzel spent the duration of Joker: Folie à Deux trying to bring out the Joker persona of Joaquin Phoenix"s Arthur Fleck, Fleck eventually realized that the Joker had never existed, and was just a symbol unwittingly bestowed upon him. Without the protection of Joker, Arthur Fleck is killed by another inmate in Arkham Asylum in Joker: Folie à Deux"s final moments. This inmate then begins to carve a Glasgow smile into his own face, teasing him as the real Joker, but a new theory has a different response to this shocking ending.

However, a new theory shared by Reddit user Quirky-Pause2910 suggests that Storrie"s Joker: Folie à Deux character may not be a different character at all, but could actually be the Joker persona inside Arthur Fleck"s mind. It"s very possible that Folie à Deux"s final scene takes place in Fleck"s imagination, with the Joker killing the Fleck persona and taking full control.
The Reddit theory suggests this ending for Joker: Folie à Deux would mirror the ending of 1999"s Fight Club, but with a twist. In Fight Club, Edward Norton"s Narrator realizes Brad Pitt"s Tyler Durden is another personality inside his mind, and kills Durden by shooting himself in the mouth. This theory implies that, in Joker: Folie à Deux"s final moments, Joker kills the Arthur Fleck aspect of his personality, allowing the brutal, psychopathic persona to run wild. This would fix one of the biggest complaints that Folie à Deux has been subjected to.

In the same way that Lee wanted Arthur Fleck to transform into the Joker throughout Joker: Folie à Deux, so did many audience members. When this didn"t happen, and, in fact, Arthur Fleck shocked everyone by completely renouncing Joker and suggesting it hadn"t been a different side of his personality, Folie à Deux opened itself up to a huge wave of criticism. This new Reddit theory provides a great fix for these concerns, as it suggests that Joker was a separate persona, and he evidently didn"t take kindly to Fleck"s comments.
