I won't embed because it's massive but did they just reprint Cloud's head?

I don't know how he keeps getting away with it. Will nobody do something?

Clearly Micheal Jackson inspired

I don't even know why I'm surprised. I think the closest to a "Japanese" take on Joker is Skullface from MGS5

I think it looks really good, actually, aside from the metal arms.

They're not arms it's a wheelchair.

I don't get the exo-arm things, but otherwise it's a whole hell of a lot better than Jared Leto's Joker design.
You can't say "Looks good, except for the main design element."

If it didn't have the mecha-arms it'd be solid.
What's with Nomura's obsession with putting DC characters in mechanical armors?

Besides the stupid exo-arms, this is actually the most normal one he has done.

You know, I think I really can when I'm comparing it directly to a character design that I can say looks entirely bad, except for the fact he's chalky.

Joker in a wheelchair is pretty ironic considering what he did to Barbara Gordon in the main canon

Huh, that's actually a pretty sick concept now that I see it the other way.
Kind of a cool "What If?" Batman Beyond Joker.

Are the metal arms for tickling? Because that's cheating, tickling doesn't count as a joke. If you tickle me after a bad joke, that doesn't count, stop it.

They are detachable so it's really not that big of a deal for me. The Joker by himself looks pretty good.

I for one hate when the old thing looks like a different, new, thing.

I don't mean so much that I don't understand them from a pure mechanical standpoint, as I don't understand them from a character design standpoint. The Joker traditionally isn't paraplegic, and in fact does not appear to be so in any of the shots where he's standing. The arms themselves don't have a strong "Joker" aesthetic to them; about the best you could say is they very, very vaguely etch out the sort of "Harlequin Crown" ornamentation, and that's a heck of a stretch.
Pretty much the only connection I can think of is...
... this, which is some weak sauce, honestly. If it's a new element he's adding to the design that's his prerogative as an artist, but it really should be something that has a clear visual link to the core elements of his design, even if it's in a purely superficial way.
Like, if you did this for The Ventriloquist and the way the mechanical arms moved had a very "puppeteer" aesthetic to them, I could see that.

The old wheelchair Joker is like a super suave Zero from MGS4.
Hahah, I thought exactly the same thing!

Didnt joker had wheelchair in one of arkham games. Or at least they had weak sickly Joker there.

Besides the pointless, ridiculous, ugly mecha arms, I actually quite like it. Unsure about the bandana...thing, but I can get behind it.
