Joker The Hidden Numbers
Joker is a film that throughout feels like it’s building towards something special. In the end this turns out to be the reveal of comic book’s biggest baddie and the introduction of the titular character.
Throughout the film there is a clear indication that there is a count down in place and throughout several of the movie’s major moments there appears a number in the background of the scene that signifies that the movie is ramping up.
The first instance of the numbers comes when Joker is sitting with his psychiatrist. During the scene, we can see a clock behind Arthur which clearly states 11 minutes past 11. This seems rather innocuous, however, when the Psychiatrist mentions the time that Joker spent at Arkham, we get a quick cut of him in a cell, smashing his head against the wall. In the top right of the screen, we can clearly see another clock which says 11:11. It’s unlikely that this wasn’t purposely put there, even though director Todd Phillips has stated that it’s a coincident and we do see numbers appear later in the film.
Number 4
This comes when Joker is sat backstage and Murray and his producer enter the room. Whilst Joker is talking to the character we can clearly see a giant number four in the background and the number of Joker’s dressing room is also 404.
Joker Numbers Hidden Meaning
We see the Wayne’s murdered and the birth of Batman begins roughly at the same time that the joker is created. Though Arthur is arrested and locked up in Arkham Asylum it’s clear to me at least that this countdown in the background of scenes was slowly ticking away until the destruction of Gotham and it’s biggest saviour and worst enemy.
This ace in the hole could either symbolise the end of the countdown or it could also showcase that Gotham’s ace in the hole to stop all this is Batman. The sign appears above a theatre which is of course what we see The Wayne’s exiting before they are killed right in front of Bruce. I guess it works either way and you can really interpret this as Joker being the ace in the hole that saves the citizens of Gotham from their rich rulers that no longer care about them or the birth of batman.
It’s awesome to me that this was seeded away in the film and though Todd Phillip’s has strongly denied putting any easter eggs or secret messages in the film, I think this is far more than a coincidence and definitely is purposely put there to count down to this massive moment.
We saw a similar aesthetic in How I Met Your Mother in which numbers counting down from 50 were placed into scenes and I think that this also was put in place for a similar reason.
Joker is a massively complex movie, with multiple layers and I definitely think that this adds a lot to it and makes the film going back to.
