Joker

let him fight batman. as a treat. ‘society bad’ wasn’t a theme i picked up on at all actually. where has everybody been getting that all this time?? the entire film is about arthur’s struggle with depression and psychosis. the primary conflict is an internal one: man vs. self. you could argue that the secondary conflict is man vs. society based on the conflicts going on in gotham and a few of arthur’s monologues BUT i would argue that all of that is contributing to the setting and not theme. it should be obvious that arthur is an unreliable narrator and nothing he says should be taken as fact. he may have a point about society but that should not the primary focus.
