The Joker - Watch Order: Arthur Fleck Story
These two connected Joker films focus on Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Arthur Fleck in his transformation into the Joker. The movies exist outside of traditional Batman continuity and offer a dark, psychological exploration of the character that completely abandons the typical superhero framework - notably, Batman does not appear in either film.
This watch list presents the complete Arthur Fleck narrative, from his initial descent into madness through the continuation of his story in the musical sequel, where Arthur and Harley Quinn express their shared psychosis through song and dance sequences that blur the line between reality and delusion.
