Can we all agree that Joker's "Justice League" look is his best design?

I will admit that Deadshot is kind of cool, but the others are just "meh" to me.
Not trying to hate, just my opinion. I hope that the movie is enjoyable for the people looking forward to it.

cartoon-wise, Batman TAS is GOAT in all regards. it was like the Twilight Zone of superhero cartoons.

The Joker is a sophisticated, psychopathic criminal mastermind, why would he look grungy?

Well you're making me watch this tonight.
Such a great movie.

Prefer Origins Joker to any other rendition
A Joker without a mustache is no Joker at all...
I'd love to see them try and pull off new Batman movie in the vein of the the old 60's version. It and Price is Right is the reason I liked pretending to be sick from school.

Honestly, it doesn't get enough love.Well you're making me watch this tonight.
The Arkham flashback and Terry's exchanges with the Joker make are so good.

I like it, but I think TAS Joker is the best. (just like most of characters in that series)
I love it so much and even made a design in Forza Motorsport 3!

I would buy this car.
It shows him as more selfless, depraved and anarchic.
The clean and self-aggrandizing version is more predictably egotistical and thus less menacing.

In terms of just the visual design, New 52 Joker is scary as fuck

Setting aside that there are, in fact, other parts to the movie...
It's sort of a cartel-inspired update of the old Clown Prince of Crime Joker, rather than the psychotic supervillain version. In that context, I can dig it.

I think this clips make his version look terrifying and creepy
He does, but overall, the angle seems to be closer to "crazed sociopathic crime boss" rather than city-destroying supervillain.
Which is fine, been a while since that angle got much exposure.

Honestly without the grill and tattoos-this would be 100% perfect.

Don't get why the comics didn't end up using Heath Ledger's Joker. The design is iconic as fuck and his version of the character was really unique compared to past Jokers.
Well, it was used in 2009's Joker
and never again.
Believe it or not, that Joker was actually designed long before the first images of Ledger in makeup went public. The similarities are a complete coincidence.
Under the Red Hood Joker, however, actually is based off Ledger's Joker.
I was the biggest hater of Leto's Joker's design but he has really grown on me. They really did it a disservice by having this fucking thing but the first official picture.
Don't mind the tattoos much anymore since he's usually wearing clothes from what we've seen in the trailers but I still think the 'damaged' tattoo is awful.
I've heard that but I dunno if I buy it, the design is identical and so is the personality, it'd be the biggest coincidence ever but I guess stranger things have happened.

I guess we can agree he has had multiple different portrayals. The late pre-52 one is still somewhat egotistical in a weird way but at least has that grunge and unpredictablity.

What's that from?

True. Maybe it's more fair to say that pre-Dark Knight was usually portrayed as sophisticated and egotistical. He definitely became more "grungey" afterwards.
Its from Morrison's run on Batman and Robin. Vol. 3.
Batman and Robin, Dickbats version.
Dick was coming up short as Bruce's stand-in, forcing the Joker to help them out in his own way.

I dont mind the grill, just shows that his face has been smashed in. I do not like the DAMAGED tattoo at all though. I don't mind his other tattoos, that one however, just seems out of place.
Thanks.
I have a bunch of Batman comics and his my favorite superhero but I've never actually read Morrison's Batman.
Think that panel convinced me to seek out his run, though.

Dark Knight ruined Joker.

I read it all recently. It's pretty damn crazy, in both good and bad ways. Absolutely loved Batman and Robin because Dick Grayson is pretty much my favorite DC character, but Batman Inc. was just an overly weird mess for me.

I think The Killing Joke was where he started going downhill.
It was a frustrating read at times when waiting for the next issue, but once it was all said and done and compiled, it became one of my favorite Batman runs of all time. Definitely give it a shot. The Dick/Damien stuff is fantastic.

Now I want an Ian McShane Joker.The animated TAS / JLA ones are too... clean and cartoony.
The Batman:Red Hood version has a bit more depravity and grunge.
I don't know if it's because of the pixelated images or what but he doesn't look that bad there. I don't mind the teeth anymore. The "damaged" tattoo is still the definition of try-hard.I think these shots make his version look terrifying and creepy

This was my problem with Ledgers Joker. As good as his performance was, the Joker isn't a psychotic hobo.
Oh agreed, Plascencia is great too, I have Snyder's hardcoverd and they're great.
His faceless Joker was pretty scary too, its the dry dead lazy eye that makes it
yeah this dude just lost his shit.
Return of the Joker is the best.

Red Hood version's not fit to lick the dirt from TAS/JL Joker's spats.

I really like the JL/JLU design, but my favourite is the original TAS design.
Arkham Origins Joker is the best he's looked in the Arkham series.
