The main theme seems to be rich vs poor
There are some dialogues about unfit mothers. The mental health system and the welfare of the poor is discussed as well.
There is also an interesting recurrence of black people trying to aid or assist the title character. Though that could be based on the time period.

I will say that I can see how any violent loner individual could be inspired or feel empowered by this. The ending scenes evoke that Alex Minanssian interview talking about revolutions and the like.

It was a good movie, just not a Joker movie and feels more like a spiritual successor to Taxi Driver than anything else.

Arthur Fleck is a party clown who is also used to advertise. He lives with his mom, who used to work for Thomas Wayne and has been writing letters to him for years. She believes he is Arthur's father but he isn't. Art was adopted by her after she was fired from Wayne manor and commited to Arkham. He see Zazie beatz character on the elevator with her daughter and stalks her then she confronts him and they start a relationship....in his head, their only interaction was in the elevator. He gets beat up by teenagers and his co-worker gives him a 38. For protection. He goes to a kids hospital and the gun drops out of his pants on the floor. He gets fired. He's on the train and these three yuppies start harassing a young woman and he starts to laugh. He has a condition caused by abuse his mother's boy friend inflicted on him, mainly his head that causes him to burst out laughing uncontrollably. The yuppies leave the woman and start attacking him. He shoots two in the train car and kills the third in the station. He had on clown make-up on and witnesses said a man in clown make up killed three bright young men. Thomas Wayne says that these young men had bright futures and were able to better themselves and their killer is a clown who was jealous of thier success. Art does stand up comedy and bombs but a talk show host played by Robert DeNiero has him up on his talk show to make fun of him. Out in the world people start protesting Thomas Wayne, who is running for mayor, because he basically called the poor/have nots clowns. They protest using clown masks and face paint as symbols. He several people including Zazie Beats when he realize their relationship was a figment of his mind. He the guy who gave him the gun because that guy told their boss Art asked him for the gun. He kills his mom who is in the hospital due to a stroke. He kills DeNeiro on live t.v. after a very incel shooter inspired rant and gets arrested.. gets saved by protesters and then end up in Arkham. One of the Protesters kills Bruce's parents. He is being interviewed by a psych at Arkham an older black woman who he also kills. Then runs around the asylum

Its a breath of fresh air......blockbusters of this era don't truly examine character development in such intense detail. All I can say the last 30 min was legit some of the greatest payoff I ever seen in a film this past decade.
