I haven't read too much about this movie, so I'm basing this solely off the trailer and some of those bts clips of filming.
Many people are saying that the sad-looking boy who Arthur/Joker is forcing to smile is a young Bruce Wayne. In some of the bts clips it's apparent that Joker is whipping up anti-Thomas Wayne furore in Gotham. We see from the trailer that Joker has a close relationship with his mother (she might even be his only friend). We also see that he visits Arkham State Hospital.
So, my theory: Arthur/Joker's mom ends up in Arkham State Hospital, and dies there. Arthur is angry, and believes that poor care at the state-run hospital is to blame for her death. He turns his anger on Thomas Wayne who, I believe, will be some kind of official, a mayor or governor. (Why else would Thomas Wayne be giving a news conference about a criminal?) Arthur, whose mind was already slipping, fully becomes the Joker, and in this persona he creates chaos and whips the city into an anti-Wayne frenzy. A crazed citizen (not Joker himself, though; I don't think they'll repeat that) will kill Thomas and Martha Wayne. That's why young Bruce looks so sad, and why Joker will feel a weird bond with him: Arthur lost his mom because of the government's (i.e. Thomas Wayne's) poor management of the state hospital; Bruce lost his parents because of the mob that Arthur unleashed.
