The Wall Street Three are major antagonists in the 2019 psychological thriller film Joker, the first instalment of the DC Black film series.

They are three well-off financially residents of Gotham City's Wall Street who work for Wayne Enterprises. One fateful night, they harass a young woman on the subway but when Arthur Fleck accidentally starts laughing at them, they proceed to assault him, unleashing Fleck's anger and inadvertently kicking off the film's plot.

They are played by Carl Lundstedt, Michael Benz and Ben Warheit in their first villainous roles. Ben Warheit’s character Ryan is the only one given an official name in the film.

Biography[]

After Arthur Fleck gets fired for bringing a gun to work, he gets on the subway home. In the subway, he was watching how a young and beautiful woman was harassed by three young and wealthy Wall Street stockbrokers from Wayne Enterprises as Ryan is asking her if she wants French fries. Arthur seeks to save her, but bursts out in his uncontrollable laughter. He gets the attention of the brokers as the woman moves to a different cart.

As they come toward Arthur, one of them starts singing "Send in the Clowns" by Frank Sinatra as he is still laughing uncontrollably. Once they ask Arthur why he was laughing, Arthur tries to show his license out of his bag, but instead one of them takes his bag away from him, and then they start to attack Arthur as he tries to fight back. Then Ryan grabs him from behind and the other one hits him to the ground. As Arthur is on the ground, all three of them start kicking him. This incident finally causes Arthur to snap.

While Arthur is still on the ground, he grabs the gun out of his pocket and immediately shoots one of the guys in the head and shoots the other one twice in the chest dead. Ryan tries to run away once the train comes to a stop, and he is able to escape the train, but gets shot in his right leg. Wounded, Ryan tries to escape Arthur in the subway crawling up the staircase to almost successfully doing so, but gets shot several more times in the back.

Legacy[]

The triple murder of the three well-off Wall Street bankers sparked an uprising in Gotham City against the wealthy and elite. The Joker later mentioned killing "those three Wall Street guys" during his appearance on Murray Franklin's talk show shortly before he killed the host, arguing that the only reason people were upset by their deaths is because Thomas Wayne mourned them on TV whereas no one would have cared if he was in their shoes.

In Joker: Folie à Deux, Arthur is charged with first-degree murders of the three bankers, in addition to the murders of Murray Franklin and Randall, and is found guilty of all charges, though in respect of the bankers the verdict is second-degree manslaughter. It is not explained how the police found out it was Arthur who killed them.

Trivia[]

Even though they were the first victims of Arthur Fleck, the Wall Street Three are so despised by the fans of Joker to the point many feel that Arthur was completely justified in his actions. While he may have been justified in shooting the first two, he shot Ryan from behind as he was fleeing, and again in the head execution style. This is murder under any conventional definition.
- The truth about the events surrounding their deaths likely came to light as Arthur was only charged with manslaughter rather than murder for killing them.
The revolver Arthur uses to kill the Wall Street men is a Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief's Special". Despite only being built to hold five bullets, Arthur fires the gun eight times without reloading.
