In Azzarello and Bermejo's Joker, this unrest is personified by a single low-level criminal who has dreams of being something bigger. In director Todd Phillips' Joker, this general unrest throughout the city is represented in part by the mentally-troubled Arthur Fleck and the crowds of protestors who are angry with the current state of the city. Both versions of Gotham are harsh places full of people who don't enjoy their lives, where crime and corruption are rampant. Both of these stories focus on a grittier, grimmer version of Gotham City than is usually portrayed, and considering how crime-infested Gotham usually is, that's really saying something. ![]()
