Joker never revealed what happened to Sophie Dumond after Arthur Fleck stormed out of her apartment, and while director Todd Phillips has confirmed that the psychopath didn't kill her, speculation has continued to run rampant about her fate at the hands of the Clown Prince of Crime.

Well, thanks to the officially released screenplay for the DC Comics adaptation, we now have a much better idea of what became of Sophie and, as promised, she is indeed still alive.

"From the kitchen in Penny’s apartment, Arthur scribbles a misspelled note: '…on Murray Franklin Tonight -- Pleese Watch!' Arthur stuffs the note inside an envelope addressed to 'Sofi.' In the hallway, we follow Arthur 'heading for Sophie’s apartment, his dyed green hair now slicked back.'

"STILL FROM BEHIND, he lays the envelope in front of Sophie's door, then pulls something else out of his pocket -- his body obscuring what it is -- puts it down by her door and leaves. As he walks away down the hallway, we see what else Arthur left behind -- HIS MAGIC WAND OF FLOWERS, at Sophie's door."

It turns out that Sophie pays attention to Arthur's message and does indeed watch the show. However, she's clearly shocked by what happens next after "Joker" guns down Franklin Murray.

"Sophie screams and jumps to her feet horrified! Waking up GiGi who starts to cry when she sees what's on television--ANGLE ON TELEVISION, Joker gets up and walks right up to the camera. Blood sprayed over his white painted face. Hear the studio audience still screaming, bedlam all around him."

It's surprising that this was cut, but considering the fact that Joker takes place form Arthur's point of view, it wouldn't have really made sense to spend this time with Sophie, especially when she was in his head for most of the movie. Whether any of this was shot - and will be on the Blu-ray as a deleted scene - isn't clear as of right now.

Do you guys think these scenes should have remained in Joker?

@BlackBeltJones - i hope she got some back end money too that 1 bil was a big pay day.

I didn't like the Thomas Wayne / Wayne family connection. It really separated it from the DCEU which really needs brilliant movies like this to keep it afloat. Besides.....we've seen the Wayne's shot in from of lil BW so many times now its lost all its potency.

@emeraldtaurus - The DCEU is dead.
But I agree, the Wayne connection wasn't necessary.

This is not news. The screenplay has been out for some time.

I liked the part when he´s looking at the mirror and saying: "You talkin' to me?"

I think it's pretty obvious that I am hungry, so I will go eat something.

She was dead the whole time.

Really enjoyed the slow buildup to the final reveal in those last 30 minutes.

Whether it is WB/DC, MCU or Sony-Marvel, it would be great to see more solo films about the villains and their inspirations.

I find it weird how much some people want him to have murdered her, and how personally they take the idea that she may not be dead.

As though her surviving makes them nauseous or uncomfortable.

This sucked. Overrated piece of trash film.

Great film. Loved it.
