Next Joker is going to be a juggalo that fell into a vat of FAYGO.

Fixed.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Yeah, it's great.

The most chilling Joker for me is still TAS though.

I still think of that time that poor dumbass caught road rage and cussed out the Joker... You fool, smh.

Edit:

And all these scans are just ticking me off that DC still doesn't have a Marvel Unlimited subscription equivalent. I'd love nothing better than to have access to DC's enormous catalog and catch up with the Bat Family and other characters.

 

[Daingurse]

Yes, it's the most balanced Timmverse Joker design. I really like it.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Obligatory:

 

[Lagamorph]

Wish they'd get Mark Hamill to play an older Joker in a Justice League film in the DC cinematic universe. They've ready made Batman older after all...

 

[MrCunningham]

Fixed.

I'm not down enough with the clowns to make that reference. But Bravo.

 

[Hot Coldman]

how come The Joker's face is usually long af

 

[Messofanego]

Yes.

 

[Coriolanus]

Hrm. As far as Jokers grounded in reality go... in retrospect Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York was pretty obviously just DDL playing him.

Jim Aparo drew that shit so long it wasn't even anatomically possible:

So people ask "Why the long face?"

 

[ToyMachine228]

I'm a fan of the Batman RIP Era surgeon-esque look.

 

[MrCunningham]

Yes.

Return of the Joker is a great little animated movie. I think it is up there with Mask of the Phantasm.

Usually done to emphasis the shape of his smile and give room for his big toothy grin.

The smile has always been his visual trade mark and his jawline and head is always shaped around that visual image.

I agree with OP. And best live action goes to Nicholson.

Worst drawn and live action goes to the Face/Off and Leto edgelord Jokers.

Have you seen Suicide Squad?

 

[SENPAIatLARGE]

I adore the heroic Joker from Brave and the Bold. Intentionally thrown into the vat by Owlman, his mind was bent but not broken.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Return of the Joker is a great little animated movie. I think it is up there with Mask of the Phantasm.

It's fantastic. The only downside it really has is the dumb sci-fi explanation for the Joker's return.

 

[Fitts]

Going on looks. And we've seen plenty of the character by now.

A few stills and trailers from a two hour film. I don't feel like I've seen much at all.

lol going by the spoilers, the SS Joker is the complete opposite of an edgelord

[Decider]

Hey, I saw that picture too!

 

[Ahasverus]

I'll just cryptically reply with his

 

[Kelsdesu]

The worst? How

In my opinion he looked liked a sad attempt at post Ledger self mutilation edginess.

The fact that he was able to speak coherently with a mask of his skin stretched across his face was beyond me.

 

[Not]

I mean, thanks to the animated series I was surprised the Joker had bright green hair when I read the comics.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Spoiler

In DCAU, he dies pretty young. He's essentially resurrected to appear in Batman Beyond.

 

[Dr.Social]

I would say the Killing Joke Joker is the one design that first comes to my mind when I think of the character.

As for live actors, it's 50:50 between Nicholson and Ledger. They have both been incredibly memorable for me.

There's a reason the first shot of the Suicide Squad Joker is based on this image

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I liked that character but they fucked up making him the Joker, he should've been a brand new character.

Almost no one talks about that Batman series but I liked it a lot.

Me too, I remember it being pretty solid though I recall it got a bit odd later one---like one episode had a nano-clone Joker that became a giant or something. At the very least the Clay Face plot was neat.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Oh, for crying out loud...

You said that SS Joker is the complete opposite of an edgelord. Granted I haven't read the spoilers, but the fact that he has "deranged" tattooed on his forehead would seem to suggest otherwise.

 

[Coriolanus]

Exactly what one would do if one intended to subvert expectations, mind.

Again, I haven't the read the spoilers, so I can only hope you're right.

Funnily enough, I'm waiting until I've actually seen Leto's performance before I form an opinion on it. Seems rather reasonable, as opposed to doing so based solely on some scraps from trailers and still photographs.
