Since its premiere (and even before it), Joker has been stirring up controversy and questions. The film has received mixed reviews, with some claiming that Phoenix is on his approach to another Oscar nomination and others announcing that the whole movie is bleak and too focused on stirring up controversy to in reality be excellent. But controversy was certainly stirred, especially in regards to a very powerful query that it never fairly solutions: Are Batman and the Joker brothers?
Where's the query coming from?
In the movie, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) lives with his mother, Penny (Frances Conroy). He discovers a letter that Penny has written to Thomas Wayne (Brett Cullen), head of Wayne Enterprises, saying that Thomas is Arthur's real father.
When Arthur confronts Penny about the letter, she tells him that she as soon as labored for Thomas and the two had an affair, which ended in Arthur. Since Thomas was a public determine, he couldn't chance having a child out of wedlock and took motion to make it look like he wasn't the father.

Even extra so, the ultimate scene of the film issues to that, possibly, none of it is true. It turns out that the Joker has been locked in Arkham Asylum the complete time and, possibly, his entire tale, is only one lengthy figment of his creativeness.
So are Batman and the Joker brothers?

However, the Joker's doable father did weigh in on his opinion with The Hollywood Reporter.
Brett Cullen performs Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father and Arthur Fleck's perhaps father. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he was asked if he believed that Arthur was Thomas's son. Brett confirmed that he played his scenes with the concept that Thomas used to be indeed Arthur's father and he'd spent his existence seeking to discredit Penny's claims via hanging her in mental institutions.
"The backstory was that Arthur’s mother had worked for Thomas in his home, and she was a beautiful woman who Thomas was attracted to and it led to a physical relationship," Cullen mentioned. "Later in life, she’s in and out of mental institutions. And in my mind, Thomas Wayne put her there."
Whether Brett is right kind or no longer is never confirmed in the movie, but we just may see confirmation in a sequel, if it ever comes to happen.
