Goes without saying but there are already plenty of terrible depictions of her.

Looks like he's doing one of those HoneyMaid "wholesome family" commercials.
Harley's impossible to fuck up, she's already awful.

That's a modern audience for you. I think the same goes for Star Trek, Star Wars, and even some retro video games. People need simple aesthetics to be explained to them. It's annoying to the fan or the person who knows how to enjoy something for what it is. I can only think that the tattoos establish the look and feel, but it makes his new personality shine past that. If anything you can just write it off as being an homage to the character bein portrayed. It could be a very fun film.

This design looks kinda dumb. I was never a fan of his look in TDKR.
My favorite Joker from an aesthetic perspective is Origins:
Dude is menacing as all hell.

he looks like someone who shops at hot topic, thought heath ledgers joker was the greatest performance of our generation, and read the killing joke decided to start dressing up as the joker

"Harley's" maybe? First thing I could think of.
Is this so hard??
If anything this is better than them just copying Heath Ledger's joker.

Yeah. Animated Series Batman is what got me into Batman as a kid. But, I have never liked Harley.
So you mean changing her to look like a contemporary goth and giving her revealing clothing? They kinda already did that.

You couldn't even tell it was Heath playing The Joker role. It was like The Joker was playing himself. If somebody told me to guess what celebrity that was in the OP pic, I'd say Jared Leto. I can't unsee Rayon from Dallas Buyers Club in that pic because too much Leto comes through.
He's a great actor, though. Looking forward to him trying to take on a roll that was mastered the last time it was on screen.

It's kinda awful but at least its awful in a way that's interesting. Depending on how he's portrayed, it could be rad. I dunno.

Nah, supposedly he is the only person who as repeatedly crossed paths with Batfleck, and everything described so far of Ben's take is how brutal he is, so I imagine this Joker will probably be even more effective and fucked up than Ledger's in terms of causing havok.
Anyway, again, I like the idea of the tattoos, but they seem like the kind of shit a hardcore Joker stan gets. He looks more like an obsessed Joker fan, than the actual Joker tbh.
Holy fuck. Please tell me those are rub-ons he got in a case of energy drinks.
disco likes em trashy.

Yeah, I thought "Harley's Boy" at first, but it'd be weird for Joker to put Harley's name on his body, I'd think. But then again, this Joker has the word "damaged" on his fuckin' forehead, so...

Nose how to spell and rede to
Hahaha this is hilarious
Not at all, I remember SHH forums hating the reveal pic of Heath's Joker.

holy moly... and people think the design is edgy? take a second bro. the design is not that serious.
At first I was like who the hell is this... then I look at it more, green hair, dark red lips, pale skin, clothes would hide most of those tattoos, and his eyes like f'n crazy... yeah that's the Joker alright, they nailed it while still being different.
His acting is what really matters, really digging the look more and more I look at it.

I can deal with everything but the tattoos; "damaged", a stereotypical joker skull, and all the "HAHAHA"'s just make the design overkill.

And that would be fine if this was a one-off. But this is a franchise character that they've ginned up. Can you honestly tell me that you see this character as being taken seriously by what we've seen of Ben Affleck's Batman?

Don't like it at all, but I guess I have to admit that I am biased against Jared Leto, and when I saw the title I already had a negative impression.
I also find the " hahahhahahaha" tattoos to be incredibly stupid

I don't even think it looks bad. It's different. I do think the "damaged" tat is a bit much but other than that it looks fine.
This thing definitely has people divided. Some hate it. Some love it. I think the issue with most people is that they had expectations and this completely shattered them lol.
