[Joker-2019][Spoilers] Question about Thomas Wayne

Was he really Fleck’s father? Did he plant evidence that Fleck was adopted? Also, how much of Penny’s story was true?

Thomas Wayne in most incarnations is a kind man who genuinely wanted to help Gotham.  A lot of how he appears in Joker is due to Arthur being an unreliable narrator and only seeing him from speeches where he misunderstood what happened in the subway murder (Thomas had no idea it was self defense) and his mother's twisted view of who Thomas Wayne was to her.  Penny probably had a mild flirtation with Wayne while in his employ and just blew it up in her head.  "Love your Smile" is a bit flirty but nothing out of line for a boss to put on the back of a photograph especially in the 1970s.
