Kane: A social worker who tries to help Joaquin Phoenix’s character, named Arthur Fleck, is named Kane. Bob Kane co-created both Batman and The Joker. The Joker’s first appearance was in Batman #1 in 1940; Batman appeared the year before in Detective Comics #27. It’s not a spoiler to tell you that Arthur Fleck eventually becomes The Joker.

The end riot scene, with Joker being pulled form the back of the crushed police car, laid out on the hood of another vehicle and then rising to his feet as the night sky burns with flames and the crowd's anger, recalls the last 15 minutes of "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" without question.
