One one side, forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into a criminal mastermind.
On the other side, there was young, naive Jack Napier, another failed comedian who owed a debt to Murray Franklin. Franklin, aside from being a talk show host, ran an “illegal” business known as the Red Hood gang which Napier was enlisted in. The tasks would soon prove too much as Napier would begin a downward spiral, soon joining Fleck as the duo became Gotham’s most feared psychopath in the Joker.
