In 1981, Gotham City is beginning to lose it's old glory until the city falls into its lowest points ,allowing major crime waves across the streets to rise. Searching for a mayor, billionaire and CEO of Wayne Enterprises Thomas Wayne is officialy announcing on live broadcast he is running for mayor candidate.
Arthur Fleck, a young long-haired man from Gotham's northern side, is living with his ill mother Penny in their shared small poor apartment. Hoping to become a comedian and to assist his mother financially, Arthur takes on the work of a street clown for a talent agency.
A group of bullies are coming toward him, and, as he was thinking that they were going to sign in the agency, they steal his sign. Chasing them to an alley, they beat him with the sign, leaving him injured and broken. Following this, Fleck recalls his abusive past in which his parents were tormenting him physically and mentally, thus, causing his mental health to deteriorate, resulting Arthur meeting a psychologist in Arkham Hospital where he is speaking with her about his life and takes pills.
Following his assault, Arthur's friend offers him carrying a gun as a resource of protection, and he does so with buying a Revolver pistol. Upon buying his gun, Arthur continues stalking his neighbour nextdoor, single mother Sophie Dumond until she encounters him and agrees dating him out of mercy. While eating a dinner in a local diner, the two are enjoying their time and later leave.
Arthur later returns to his home, where he is dancing with his mother before watching Murray Franklin's late night show. After taking care of his mother, he sits to write new jokes and his thoughts over his notebook before sinking into his fragile sanity, picturing himself entering into the fridge. Fleck continues dancing with his gun in his hands, while watching Franklin's show in the television.
On another day, he comes home to his mother and before she goes off to bed, she gestures towards the table. She tells Arthur that she's written a letter and that he should send it to Thomas Wayne. Once she goes to bed, Arthur opens the letter only to discover that he is the illegitimate son of Penny and Thomas. However, his personal time becomes enteruptted soon as his mother's oxygen is harmed.
Fleck goes to Arkham again, where he is confronting the therapist on his negative thoughts before meeting his friend again, this time bashing his head in the reception desk's bars. With nurses seeing this, they chase him until he flees and goes to Wayne Manor, where he is meeting Bruce, Thomas's young son, playing with him as a clown. He leaves to his home, where Sophie meets and kisses with him.
In the next morning, he goes to the train as the clown for the talent agency, and, in the train, he sees three men from Wall Street bullying a young woman. Taking the matter personally, he begins manically laughing without reason nor control due to his pathological laughter condition. They bully him, until he shoots them to death and escapes. Following these events, a social anarchistic movement known as The Clowns Resistance are rising to the public's knowledge, and they are wreaking havoc across the city as mutiny against the wealthy and the powerful as well as Thomas Wayne.
Arthur later goes back to his apartment, where he is interrogated by two detectives, denying any connections to the murders nor the movement. The detectives leave, while he sees Sophie has a new boyfriend, driving him mad and having a psychotic attack in the bank she works in, causing her to be fired with she rejecting him completely. At his work, he is losing his sanity far more faster, and, later develops an alternative personality known as Joker but decides on keeping it in secret before leaving his work to his home. In his apartment, he is brutally murdering three roomates of his, and, later goes seeing his mother. Unknowing why, Penny tells Arthur that she was once the Wayne's housekeeper and that she had a romantic affair with Thomas, resulting Bruce and Arthur becoming stepbrothers. Following this, she lost her work, and encouraged herself and Arthur's late father into abusing Arthur. Accepting the truth in great pain, Arthur later brutally kills his mother, crying while doing so and later completely embraces the Joker personality with designing a clown-like luxury suit and makeup ,dying his hair in green and leaves to Gotham's streets as the new leader of the Clowns Resistance.
Gordon and Bullock are seeing him ,causing them to realize that Arthur had commited the murders, and chase him all the way into the subway, where the movement begins its mutiny again, allowing him to flee. Now as Joker, Arthur is invited to Franklin's show, where he confronts with Franklin on his words against him as well as on becoming the leader of the movement, explaining his motives and revealing his true intentions; create anarchistic mutiny against the wealthy so the poor can survive. Franklin disagrees with him, resulting Joker shooting him to death ,much to the audience's horror as he laughs and takes a speech to the movement to begin the "real great anarchy".
Going out to the city streets on an extremely destructive and violent rampage, Joker leads the movement into murdering Thomas and his wife Martha in front of Bruce's eyes at the manor while he is going to continue his rampage, sparing on Sophie's life in the process. The following day, Arthur is seen again by the police, and, they chase him again until he is hit by a taxi and goes into hiding again before the police goes investigating the Wayne Manor, where Bruce falls into a cave full of bats until he is saved by the butler.
Joker later decides to go to Arkham, out of belief he has unfinished business in the place but not before dancing on the city's stairways to "Benny and the Jets" by Elton John.
