that man is hip and with the times as I like to say.

 

[Jon Armdog]

So far, I'm not a fan of this Joker

 

[Hagi]

Joker: I want the word "Damaged" tattooed on my forehead! Hahaha!

Tattoo artist: Font?

Joker: Allura cursive, please! Hahahaha!

I hope this is an actual scene in the movie.

 

[thepotatoman]

For me this is a meh not feeling it atm, if he didn't have tattoo's it would look far better. I wonder what the tat on his stomach is?

I'm pretty sure it's "JOKER". Like this:

 

[aerts1js]

not feeling it

 

[LyleLanley]

What if this image is an actual joke? We're being played by the Joker.

 

[Kurdel]

The more I look at it, the more I hate it.

 

[Sou Da]

He has a robin tattoo on his left bicep.

 

[Somnium986]

Looks way better

Makes you focus more on his crazy face than all the damn tattoos.

 

[BadAss2961]

Holy shit lol. Totally unexpected.

I don't know about the forehead tattoo, but i'm sure Leto will pull this off. Joker's gonna be the biggest nutjob yet.

 

[Beefy]

Hopefully the tats are the joke part.

 

[Kwixotik]

Mostly because head tattoos are always silly looking.

[MagicWithEarvin]

I like it.

I think Leto's performance will really shine.

 

[Just_myles]

I for one will not judge. We should know from ledger that we don't judge a joker by its cover. Simple as that IMO.

 

[Platy]

Someone should photoshop some "self made crap tatoos", scars and scarifications

Ledger's Joker got judged because he was Ledger, people were worried he would be shit. But he proved a lot of people wrong. I see no one saying Leto won't do a good job, it is more to do with the tacky tats.

 

[Kwixotik]

Yes. I want to see how I'm envisioning the correct execution of this idea. Carved stuff and prison-quality tats.

 

[Rootbeer]

These spoofs are really killing me.

 

[Kyou]

I for one will not judge. We should know from ledger that we don't judge a joker by its cover. Simple as that IMO.

But people thought Ledger would be bad based on casting and loved how he looked.

This is literally the exact opposite thing.

 

[LyleLanley]

If anything this is the exact opposite of the Ledger situation. People think the actor will do fine but that he looks ridiculous.

It looks like a great joker .... we are only hoping he keeps his suit and a bandana during the movie =x

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Hmm how I feel about this will depend on the performance. Like if Jared Leto plays a Joker that would do this to himself, I'd like it a lot more than I do now - which is to say not much. I don't like the damaged tattoo at all.

What hell does casualty mean? Bomb? Cause you don't like the look of the Joker? You people crack me up.

The Joker is the most popular character in this movie and, arguably, the biggest draw.

 

[Sojgat]

Didn't notice. That's actually pretty awesome.

 

[BadAss2961]

He was judged on his appearance too. Remember, this was the first image...

It was equally bizarre at the time.

 

[The Atticus]

I always thought the intro to this song captures an interesting mood for the Joker.

 

[Somnium986]

Yeah that's the one big difference from the Heath reveal. I don't think anyone here is worried that he won't be able to pull off a good Joker performance.

 

[Blader]

Well, damn. Not at all what I expected. Very interested to see what Leto does with this.

 

[Imperial]

"Ugh, what's with those scars?"

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That's a scary sight.

 

[Monocle]

I joked about a sexy Joker in another thread. Turns out they're actually kind of going in that direction, lol.

I like Leto as an actor, and based on the clips of the Joker voice he did at a show, I'm OK with this. It'll be interesting to see his version of the character.

 

[Discotheque]

judging by the scar above his eye and the presumably missing teeth i'm guessing batfleck kicked the shit out of him numerous times

 

[AgentOtaku]

Different but yeah that's the Joker. I dig it. Love the tattoos.

Ditto

What kind of bird is that one in his right arm?

Spoiler

It's not a Robin is it? Imagine he gets a memento tattoo after killing one of them ugh

 

[N7Commander95]

He's going to be terrifying in this film. Fantastic!

Great design, really differentiates his joker from the outset.

 

[Rastafarian42]

I'll never get how fans can accept hundreds of reinterpretations and alternate universes and such in the comics but expect film/tv to be sacrosanct and make little to no changes.

Same here.

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Hopefully this is just concept and they will drop some, get rid of the face tattoos and it would be okay

I hope that's exactly what it is because that would be so Joker.

I had no problem with that pic at the time. I didn't see many people complain about it, but I guess some did.

 

[Silvio Dante]

That looks really stupid

 

[PaperFlame]

I realize you can't satisfy everyone, but Anthony Misiano is probably the coolest looking live action depiction of The Joker, at least in my eyes. The style is just timeless. The dude is a few professional makeup artists away from looking perfect.

I like leto a lot better. This looks too simple to be honest.

I dislike the damange tattoo and we already seen the joker in his suit, So I doubt he's going to have his shirt off in most of the movie.

Also what is the tat on his hand? This Joker must have a shit load of tats.

Nah.

 

[Blader]

Ha, that's a good point. This isn't a Joker at the beginning of his career like Ledger's; this Joker has been beaten down by Batman for years by now.

 

[munchie64]

The Joker is the most popular character in this movie and, arguably, the biggest draw.

We have no idea how this movie will be marketed but I assume if they want to focus on the Joker we'll see a lot more than this image. You think how he looks is gonna matter at all at that point?

 

[Plywood]

Maybe we're not supposed to like the Joker and maybe this look is the start of trying to drive that point home.

 

[Imperial]

He probably got a Batarang to the face, TDKR style

 

[Discotheque]

i think the scene kids are gonna love him actually. be prepared for the tragic requests at tattoo parlours all next year and onwards.

It really wasn't.
