Why is he topless

I read rumours that he's in prison at the start of the film, so that somewhat explains it.

 

[SliChillax]

I welcome a different Joker and I fucking love it.

 

[Plywood]

They're gonna ruin Harley ain't they

 

[Prestige Capo]

Damaged. So much edge.

 

[Salsa]

uhhhhhhhhhh yeah

not feeling those cringe-worthy tattoos at all

 

[xxracerxx]

I read rumours that he's in prison at the start of the film, so that somewhat explains it.

Well it sure as shit better be Arkham and not prison.

 

[……forgetit]

I read rumours that he's in prison at the start of the film, so that somewhat explains it.

No it doesn't?

 

[Zaventem]

That damaged tatted on his face looks so corny.

 

[Rooster12]

Is this so hard??

 

[Cuburt]

Joker fan art painted on cosplay Joker.

It's like someone put Joker internet fandom in a blender and WB/DC asked, "can you make it slightly rule 34 as well?"

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I hate the grills and the excessive tattoos.
And I hate the fact that he's not even wearing a suit.
Terrible so far. Terrible.

 

[Toxi]

Why is he topless

He's a nudist.

 

[MattyG]

People said the same about guardians of the galaxy after seeing rocket and groot. Just putting that out there.

Groot didn't have a tattoo on his forehead that said "TREE" though.

 

[shadyspace]

It's like the old saying, "crazy people don't worry that they're crazy." Crazy people don't tattoo "damaged" on their head. That takes a level of intention that the criminally insane don't possess. It's something that a person who desperately wants other people to think they're crazy does.

 

[Boke1879]

I just noticed, what's up with his glove? It looks like very loose latex?

Kinda like he gave himself those Tats right?

 

[Snaku]

I sincerely hope Harley doesn't look anything like him. We've waited so fucking long for live action Harley, and giving us some monstrosity that looks like...this...will just be infuriating.

 

[Einchy]

people into nerdy IPs are so fucking hard to please.

Why would I ever be pleased with that abomination.

"hahaha" and "damaged" tattoos? A grill? One purple glove? Everything about this design looks dumb.

 

[Escape Goat]

This movie is going to be Gary Whitta levels bad.

 

[……forgetit]

Is this so hard??

So just copy heath ledger?

 

[Corpsepyre]

I doubt he's going to stay shirtless throughout. Lets wait and see what Jared does with the role. I have complete faith in him.

 

[Can Crusher]

 

[zoozilla]

I'm okay with the tattoos only if there's an extended sequence in the movie showing Joker forcing some innocent tattoo artist to cater to his demands under pain of death.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I wanted some fucked up teeth on Joker, but not like this. D:

 

[Bobby Roberts]

looks highly probable the tummy tat says JOKER.

Also looks like an apostrophe and an s on his side, just above the y. Wonder what that says

 

[Clipjoint]

Hahahaha that looks fucking awful.

 

[Salsa]

I just imagine him sitting there with a tattoo artist going "uh yeah write HAHAhahAHhahahA but like with this weird font that kinda shows up in the comics when I laugh y'know"

 

[jett]

People were down on TDK Joker too when images first appeared.

Pretty sure Heath's Joker was widely well received when it was first revealed.

I think the difference is that there was already an established universe, and you could see how this Joker would fit Nolan's movies.

We don't know shit about Ayer's Suicide Squad, and the quality of his movies is so all over the place that who knows what are we going to end up getting. I'll say one thing, being as different as possible from Nolan's Joker is the best route possible.

 

[Servbot24]

Huh. I'll play along.

 

[Sou Da]

Stole it from 4chan

>TATTOO ARTIST: WHAT'LL IT BE FAM
>JOKER: JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP

 

[MHWilliams]

Yeah, I'll give it a chance. Feels like it's based on Synder's more self-aware Joker.

Need to see the suit though.

 

[kirblar]

Is this so hard??

Anything remotely similar to Ledger's incarnation is going to get compared to it. Veering away from it makes sense.

 

[Newlove]

No it doesn't?

Let me expand a bit more. He works out in his cell.

"Joker works out in his cell like an inmate when he is interrogated by Amanda Waller. He's doing hand stand push ups so it makes sense that Jared Leto said he is putting on weight."

[Discotheque]

Jesus Christ they turned him into a rapper?

When's the mixtape

[Cheat Code]

Something a bit different. Better than just doing Ledger Joker again.

Kinda want to see it in motion before passing final judgement. I would imagine we'll get some sort of purple suit at some point.

 

[Smithy C]

"Damaged" tattooed on his forehead.

How very subtle.

 

[……forgetit]

Pretty Heath's Joker was widely well received when it was first revealed.

No, a ton if people called him hobo joker and similar things, people thought it would be terrible.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Tattoos are a weird touch, but it looks fine to me.

 

[Cooter]

Oh fuck yeah! Can't wait for both DC movies next year.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

This is a great interpretation of the Joker for young superhero film kids in 2015. It's a nice zone between pandering to its era but committed to the idea of Joker.

I'm into it. Swerves back towards Cesar Romero for no reason than it's possible to do so post-Ledger.

 

[Revolutionary]

First impression: wtf
After thinking about it for a few seconds: this is pretty awesome. Of course Joker would get into the prison lifestyle of gang tattoos and shit.

 

[jey_16]

not completely sold on it but i'll have to see him in action to make a judgement

i think they just had to go in a completely different direction compared to Ledger

 

[Sou Da]

Jesus Christ they turned him into a rapper?

When's the mixtape

you'll cowards don't even kill sidekicks

 

[Bricky]

That's... not quite what I expected.

At least it's different, always interesting to see new interpretations of the character. Not a big fan of the tattoos, other than that I'll reserve judgement until we see him in motion.

 

[mreddie]

Looks like he's the lost member to a nu metal band, something different though.

 

[SliChillax]

They were? He always looked great, Jared looks like a British punk band member from a 90's band.

 

[Tabby]

I honestly thought this was fake at first but now that I've calmed down, what the fuck.

 

[Surface of Me]

It's like the old saying, "crazy people don't worry that they're crazy." Crazy people don't tattoo "damaged" on their head. That takes a level of intention that the criminally insane don't possess. It's something that a person who desperately wants other people to think they're crazy does.

Please, Joker in many incarnations seems to know just how fucked up he is and even revels in it. Ledger's Joker knew it FFS.


Typical comic fan reactions to anything slightly different from the comics.

 

[CrowdChant]

The face tattoos and the fucked up teeth ruin this for me.

 

[Van Owen]

Leto better have a performance that knocks it out of he fucking park because that design is awful.
