this is exactly what i thought of...
 
I kinda like it. And I like most of the takes on the Joker. Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger are all good in their own way (I don't like Staple Face Joker). This is a very modern take, because of course a young Joker is going to have tats, everyone his age has tats.


The 'Damaged' forehead tattoo /is/ a bit too on the nose, though.

Removes all of the tats.

Dont mind the grill if they explain batman kicked his teeth in.

Dont get the glove. Maybe theyre going for a more millenail type shit like sony wanted with spiderman

I was indifferent to heaths leak, this just looks cheaply put together. Dont ruin harley please.

I really want a tas live action joker in something. Even if hes in a jail cell in batman v supes

Stole it from 4chan

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

I like mouth tattoos give me a smile on my right forearm and an open mouth on my left backhand

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."

I'm trying to reserve judgement until I've seen this in action and the performance behind it but Jesus Fucking Christ.

Turn him into a punk just like Dante. I see where this is going. He's a millennial and he's insane. Save the GOAT until we all want Gotham's hero back to where he started. I just hope we aren't over doing it, but time does have its way of making certain IPs stand out.

I would be pretty freaked out to see someone like that, but he's possibly clothes throughout the film. Batman isn't even in this right?
 
Last time i said Heath would be a crappy joker yet his performance was fucking out standing, can't judge a book by it's cover..

Is this so hard??

That's literally Heath Ledger's Joker on Leto's face.Why would you want a retread?

It's different. I can deal. If I would remove one thing, it would be the stupid "damaged" tattoo, or most of the other annoyingly meta ones. The idea of a tatted Joker isn't bad tho.

I dont think I have an issue with the tattoos as much as I have an issue with the tattoos looking like comic book art

that's some weird-ass 4th wall shit
 
I honestly thought this was fake at first but now that I've calmed down, what the fuck.

Maybe the performance will blow me away (and I like Leto a lot as an actor) but that looks like a terrible picture you'd see on the outside of a cheap ass Halloween costume. Does absolutely fuck all for me visually.

I almost want them to go the Brad Pitt Twelve Monkeys route and have him act much more insane and dangerous than he actually is. It'd be a nice contrast to Ledger's role.
 
I'm just going to admit it. I don't like it at all. I won't swear off the movie or assume that Leto will be terrible but I just don't like the design.

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.

Yep.

I'm trying to think of a worse version of Joker I've seen, but I really can't. Even the shittiest animated versions look better than this mess. My mild interest in Suicide Squad is gone.
 
Really? You think it's Joker? None of his tattoos even hint at this!

Heh, I know, I got my cap'n obvious cape rippling in the breeze, but hadn't seen anyone mention it yet. Possible I could be wrong and it says something else though, I guess.

I did like the idea upthread that he's gonna cover his face with the forearm smiles. That could be creepy if they use it right.

Looks pretty cool in a weird way. Am pretty sure Jared will do a good job with the role as well so I'm quite looking forward to the movie.

I dig it. He looks like an insane prisoner. If The Joker existed in the real world, he'd probably would look something like that, so it fits their direction.

Interesting to say the least o_O

Wonder if Harley is gonna be totally clean now, meaning no tats, scars, nothing but her innocent looking self. Beauty and the Beast in hell basically.

I can totally buy hot ass Harley Quinn falling for a Gothy rock star Joker pretty boy with obnoxious tats.

I'm not so beholden to tradition that a different take on the Joker is a travesty.

We've gotten some amazing portrayals of the Joker in both film and animation, and I've learned, after Heath Ledger, to never judge a Joker until I see him. I was so not sold on Ledger until I saw him in action in his first trailer appearance.

I'm more than willing to give Leto the benefit of the doubt.

I think punk rock Joker is something that's inevitable, so I approve. We need to see it once.

If this was a DmC-like decision "kids want a darker, edgier Joker for a new era", then I'd throw up a bit....

...but I see this as definitely existing in the multiverse of all possible Jokers...
