[BoogieWoogie]

Is this his ghost jumping into people or something?

 

[Village]

Is this going to be like Akuma in SFV where the new design is a big WTF and have the classic look be paid dlc?

no because this design is actually good

 

[RS4-]

Injustice continues to have fantastic move sets for their chars.

 

[Razmos]

This killed me haha

 

[Quadraphonic]

He's the human personification of JNCO Jeans.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Injustice continues to have fantastic move sets for their chars.

He looked basically 1:1 with his Injustice self, other than his super move.

 

[Azure Dream]

This really bugged me.

Same here.

[Stone Ocean]

His design and animations are fucking jarring. It's like what if Frank Miller's Joker started acting like TAS Joker, it looks so so awful.

 

[Irishmantis]

It's funny how people complain about too many Bat chars (which I'm not a fan of either)

But looking at this thread you can clearly see the logic

Any non Bat char gets revealed the thread barely scrapes 2 pages over 2 days

Joker gets revealed we already in over 100 posts

Edit: but counter argue myself this could just Joker, how has the other Bat chars done post wise?

 

[Compbros]

He looked basically 1:1 with his Injustice self, other than his super move.

His trait has changed, everything else can be gear specific abilities but he had a lot of new stuff (electric buzzer, present projectile, meter burn gun shot, etc).

Oh shit really, I don't remember much about Joker.

Well then, my point still stands with the other chars, like Darkseid, etc! lol.

 

[Wonko_C]

Iori Yagami as Joker for a crosspromotion evento with KOF XIV?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Oh thank fuck, he had the absolute worst trait in the first game and I was afraid they'd bring that garbage counter move back.

Swamp Thing hit page 3 in an hour.

 

[Hagi]

Looks like that guy from Ninja Theory, terrible design. Good thing I wasn't interested in playing him.

Funny enough I was waiting for you to reply

 

[tapedeck]

Dat Super tho..

 

[RedAssedApe]

If Gambit became Le Joker

 

[Sulik2]

This is like what the Leto Joker was going for, but done right. Great, creepy design.

 

[Compbros]

Funny enough I was waiting for you to reply

Of course, I am the number 1 Bat detractor after all lol

 

[JHall]

So it's Leto's Joker without the tattoos and grill. I like it.

 

[Irishmantis]

Of course, I am the number 1 Bat detractor after all lol

Don't get me wrong I ain't a fan of it too.

Just from a business point I can see why they do it

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The design looks cool to me. Joker has a lot of different looks and interpretations. It's different but nothing radical

I love how the first move shown is a robin getting crowbarred.

Damien claims to not be Jason Todd but that looked like it to me

 

[Undead Fantasy]

The description makes it sound like this is an imposter.

I don't like that.

 

[NeonZ]

I'd guess there'll be a suit and maybe some way to change his make up/skin with his unique gear option, but even so the face still will remain that one.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Not feeling his face.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Looks like that guy from Ninja Theory, terrible design. Good thing I wasn't interested in playing him.

lol he does kinda remind me of Tameen

Featuring Le Joker from the Batman series

 

[SpaceWolf]

The description makes it sound like this is an imposter.

I don't like that.

Not so much that there's an imposter involved, just that the character is flat out dead.

In the story, he'll probably make an appearance in a flashback or a fear toxin induced hallucination. Otherwise, I'm doubtful The Joker be returning in any other form in the story.

 

[LordOfLore]

The description makes it sound like this is an imposter.

I don't like that.

Makes it sound more like Scarecrow sprays Harley and Superman and Joker pops out to fight.

 

[Wallach]

The facial detail and animations in this game are probably the best I've ever seen in a fighting game. Pretty great stuff.

I'm still not crazy about some of the combat animations; there's still sort of a classic NRS stiffness to body movement (particularly with how the upper body moves with the lower body) but overall this is really a massive improvement overall in their art direction. Major leap over MKX.

Either that or

Spoiler

Tim Drake got Return of The Joker'd.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Either that or

Spoiler

Tim Drake isn't actually dead in this universe and got Return of The Joker'd.

Tim Drake isn't dead in this universe outright.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Tim Drake isn't dead in this universe outright.

My bad, I forgot it was Dick who got offed. But yeah, the speculation stands.

 

[False Witness]

People really don't remember Leto's Joker look very well if they think this looks like him.

 

[RedHill]

People really don't remember Leto's Joker look very well if they think this looks like him.

Yup. People just want to make the comparison because this is another "non traditional" Joker

 

[lazygecko]

It was so bad their memories got damaged.

Most similar aspect is the stupid ha on his chest.

 

[Eidan]

Probably not.
He will have a bunch of gear, but nothing resembling a more traditional Joker.
Unless he straight up has a premier skin for another game, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Best you can do is give him a dumb hat if that's what you are in to.

Sure there will be.

At a price.

How much do you really want to fight as Cesar Romero's mustachioed Joker?

 

[Garlador]

It's like every live action version got thrown in a blender. I like it, as much as I can like The Joker.

 

[racketpunch]

I love The Joker but damn he looks lame in this game.

 

[mindsale]

Reminds me of the Zodiac / Always Sunny / Westworld fella.

 

[Platy]

and freakin scary.

Of course he looks scary, he reminds me of Milo Yanopopulus =P

 

[Marvel]

He should throw used condoms at you for his projectile.

Got a giggle.

 

[v0yce]

People really don't remember Leto's Joker look very well if they think this looks like him.

I remember he wore a long purple coat with no shirt and dumb stuff written on him like this awful design.

Am I remembering wrong?

Yup. People just want to make the comparison because this is another "non traditional" Joker

Or because they're similar.

 

[capylikesgames]

"If he were alive to see the chaos he'd created, he would surely be smiling." So, am I wrong to assume this isn't the real Joker, but somebody who adopted the moniker? It would also explain all the differences. He feels a lot younger, for one. I don't hate it, at least. Compaared to Suicide Squad's Joker, this is OK.

 

[kurahador]

Urghhh...I hate this guy in anything he's in. He wears that pathetic-creepy-annoying mannerism so well.

It could also mean he's just for the gameplay, but isn't part of the story, like a DLC character.

 

[RedHill]

You guys keep saying that. But you don't say how. They look nothing alike

 

[Khezu]

Here are more hats.
