Support NeoGAF

[half a moon]

Since they allow him to get the ugly coat and cane they could have easily let him change his pants and put on shoes. But no. They wanted him to look like this. Escaping and not having time isn't an excuse. It's a decision.

I watched this film the other night and liked it a lot. I also liked End of Watch.

Is this a sincere post? If not, is the gif meant to indicate something? Because that's some pretty fucking good framing, from where I'm sitting.

I'm confused too. Maybe it's the weird laser gun effect from the tanks?

It's to prove Ayer knows how to make thing look good. As with The Joker.

 

[Secret Fawful]

This looks fucking SICK!

Seems familiar. The movie is Hunger by Steve McQueen.

 

[Ahasverus]

But WAIT, there is more

 

[diamount]

This is going to be a stinker.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

But WAIT, there is more

Tasers?

 

[Obliterator]

Who knows maybe the delivery will be good, but the look is hella bad imo

 

[CadetMahoney]

This is going to be a stinker.

maybe even Jurassic World level, but without the easy money from gullible bandwagoners.

That's a pretty common way to film two people seating at a table.

Looks more like a Halloween costume gone wrong.

 

[Braag]

I think it looks okay and I'm really excited to see where they go with this design.
It's different sure, but so was Heath's Joker and that got a lot of controversy too.

 

[Loxley]

My opinion remains unchanged - it's so outlandish that I can't help but get a kick out of it. Really can't wait to see what Leto does with the character.

 

[Pyramid head]

Could have been fafa fa fafa fa fa fa far better.

 

[SJRB]

When have magazine promo cover shots NOT been terrible?

Have some faith brehs.

 

[y2dvd]

Doesn't look good but will reserve judgement for the final product as usual.

Nah, they are being inspired by When Harry Met Sally

 

[Apathy]

I don't think he'll be wearing the sweat pants for the whole film.

 

[PalaceBrother]

he doesn't need shoes

Since they allow him to get the ugly coat and cane they could have easily let him change his pants and put on shoes. But no. They wanted him to look like this. Escaping and not having time isn't an excuse. It's a decision.

He will have shoes in the movie. I know the guy designing them.

[DonasaurusRex]

...now with a get up like that its kinda hard to be surprised that this guys psychosis goes far beyond the normal levels of crazy making him the most dangerous person in Gotham. You'd just kinda expect that from someone who is barefoot with a purple 3/4 length coat and blue sweatpants..., come on now, maybe he will dress up at the end of the film...take a turn for the worse.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Much better, but the grills and the tattoos are still terrible.



Good point, we "people on the internet" should leave it to the pros. Like the execs that green lit Superman IV, Batman and Robin, or Green Lantern. They are neither people, nor 'on the internet', which is why they get paid the big bucks.

Yes, you should. Wanna know why? We don't know shit. If you did, you'd be working in the industry. You don't know the context, what they are going for, how it's going to play out etc. We know nothing, how about people reserve judgement until they get to see the movie. All of this hate on some pictures and concluding the movie is going to be terrible/this is the worst Joker and what not is beyond stupid. And suggesting how it should be done is also ridiculous.

 

[Bad_Boy]

i think this joker is the former robin somewhere in the timeline.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

30 Seconds to Meth

So every movie has good design because they work in the industry? Ok.

 

[Lashley]

Awful.

Excited for Leto's performance, but he looks awful.

 

[Dead]

To note, we've only seen what Joker looks like in Flashbacks it seems. I don't think we've seen his look from during the actual movie story

 

[a916]

Looks really good, I don't get the weird 70's trip background and the awful dumb decision to fully light the character for a shoot when he won't be like that during the movie

 

[Messypandas]

Here's the alternate cover?

Badass. Should have been the default cover

 

[shira]

This looks fucking SICK!

LOL that's what hollywood think's a Psych Prison looks like

 

[Damerman]

They are prison pants, because he's in the process of breaking out of prison. It really should not be that hard to put 2 and 2 together with regards to the pants.

Like, the design is obnoxious, but I think that's the point. Look at the references they keep bringing up. People who are obnoxiously gaudy. It's the kind of thing that will make normal people find him annoying and wonder how he has this hold over his minions (and Harley). He and Ledger Joker are two sides of the same coin with regards to the design. As if Ledger's design wasn't geared and embraced by the goth Hot Topic crowd.

When has the character of Joker NOT been a try-hard?

Ahh, i didn't know. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Lord Virgin]

So every movie has good design because they work in the industry? Ok.

Yes. That is exactly what I said.

 

[a916]

Badass. Should have been the default cover

The light is what you would expect the movie to be as well... looks fantastic. DC needs to re-think whoever things it's a good idea to fully light these photoshoots. Batman looked like crap during the same photoshoot too.

 

[vainglorious]

I like the design feels like the love child of Dr Frank n Furter, Marilyn Manson and David Bowie (although I do like that they acknowledged Mexican drug cartels). The stuffy Victorian 3 piece is traditional but its played out, time to shake it up.

How about a white tux?

You're right about Manson. Whenever I look at that gif I immediately think of Manson's Mobscene music video.

Slicked back hair, heavy eye make up, lipstick, mouth grill and all. I love Manson. But this Joker look is hardly inspired. All I see is a cheap Manson knock off.

 

[Symphonia]

I can't wait for the inevitable flip-flop from the haters once SS is released. I've seen this exact scenario before.

Never change, GAF.

 

[Dai101]

much sicko

very killer



WOW

 

[Dega]

Looks pretty stupid. This movie was never on my radar though. We'll all still end up watching it so whatever.

 

[half a moon]

Yes. That is exactly what I said.

That's one of the stupidest thing I ever read on this forum then.

 

[Dennis]

Meth - not even 132 times.

 

[Penguin]

Badass. Should have been the default cover

I think that is the default cover?

Isn't the other a special subscribers one?

 

[Fata1moose]

All of the costume designs for the Suicide squad look like they belong in "DC Highschool Heroes" or something. They're pretty horrid.

 

[Feltrol]

Not liking it. They're trying so hard.

 

[Lord Virgin]

That's one of the stupidest thing I ever read on this forum then.

Jesus Christ...

 

[liliththepale]

Everything about this thread makes me so happy! I can't wait to see you all come around on the design once the movie comes out

 

[FStop7]

Very 90s edgelord.

 

[roflwaffles]

I don't like the design but I'm sure he'll be fine in the role.

The DCEU is so polarizing in general - I follow the DCEU FB group just to see fanboys rage at any slight criticism on any of the upcoming movies that no one has seen yet.

 

[Gleethor]

LOL that's what hollywood think's a Psych Prison looks like

Are you familiar with Arkham Asylum? Or comic books?

 

[Lashley]

I like how we can no longer express an opinion now, just because that opinion might change at a later date.

 

[Goodstyle]

Not a fan of the design, but I like what I'm hearing. Portraying the Joker as a brilliant strategist besides being a sociopath is what I was really hoping would happen.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Guy I think the Joker should only wear the purple suit like he does in the com...

Oh yeah.

 

[obin_gam]

I like how we can no longer express an opinion now, just because that opinion might change at a later date.

I don't think that is the problem. I think it's the insistency of repeating it is what it is - since the design choice has been settled, the movie finished, the first pic of the design revealed several months ago, the lack of people "moving on" or getting used to it is kinda grating.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Trackpants?
