Thomas guides his wife and son through the crowd before they sneak down a side alley to avoid rioters. There’s a glitzy movie theater playing a double bill of Blow Out and Zorro the Gay Blade, attended by Thomas, Martha and young Bruce Wayne, who exit the theater and into the chaos.
We see rioters turning a more posh part of town into chaos.
The movie intercuts with scenes of similar anarchy elsewhere in Gotham. Throngs of masked looters and rioters start to swarm around Joker. The duo delicately extract Joker from the backseat and lay him reverently on the hood of the crashed police car. That’s when an ambulance driven by two clown-masked rioters slams into the cop car, knocking out Arthur Fleck/Joker and more grievously injuring the policeman driving the patrol car. It brings a smile to his painted face despite the cop who’s driving him castigating him for the madness he’s inspired. As he’s driven off by a GCPD officer, Joker watches as Gotham - the city that has thus far been so cruelly indifferent to him - collapses into fiery anarchy. The shocking televised murder grips the media just as Gotham’s protests against the rich and powerful explode into full-on violent rioting. What Happens at the End of Joker?It is in an atmosphere of growing civil unrest in Gotham City that Joker appears on Live With Murray Franklin - and kills the talk show host on air as retribution for previously mocking him. So let us all break down as best we can then what happened - or appeared to happen - in the closing moments of director Todd Phillips’ award-winning comic book movie. Given how open to interpretation Joker is, we’ve deviated from our usual Ending Explained approach to include multiple takes on the film’s ending from IGN editors who have seen the film.
