[Good Job Bob]

Surely the "Damaged" tattoo is supposed to be an ironic joke?

 

[Snaku]

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

Batfleck would have snapped this dweeb's spine.

 

[Cuburt]

Going after that Insane Clown Posse fanbase?

I'm sure someone somewhere is happy about that.

 

[MisterHero]

Conceptually it isn't bad. It looks cheap outside a shot of the actual movie though

 

[kirblar]

Marilyn Manson?

There's definitely a pretty big influence there, yeah.

 

[StanleyStutters]

looks highly probable the tummy tat says JOKER.

Also looks like an apostrophe and an s on his side, just above the y. Wonder what that says

My first thought was Let's Play. Could be a lot of different things.

 

[RedAssedApe]

hopefully he keeps his clothes on during the film. also...get rid of the grills...

 

[Xpike]

Can we get a classy Joker for once, this one looks even more crazy than TDK.

 

[OricWindstar]

Don't like the forehead tatoo, but other than it works for me. It's fucking different, that's for sure.

 

[Maddocks]

That looks more like a bunch of ideas of the joker tossed onto a picture of the current joker to celebrate the 75th anny. Pretty sure we will be getting a real joker picture soon enough.

 

[brandonh83]

Guess Snyder does not approve.

That's not what I get from it. The ha ha ha is clearly just him quoting Joker.

 

[I-hate-u]

The damaged tattoo is the worst. Completely unnecessary.

 

[TheKaeptain]

AND WHY ARE HIS TATTOOS INSPIRED BY HIMSELF?

Joker thinks highly of himself.

 

[EdibleKnife]

AND WHY ARE HIS TATTOOS INSPIRED BY HIMSELF?

They could have been done by his Joker Faithful. Joker fandom is not alien to the Batman mythos

 

[JimJamJones]

After Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman, I didn't think I could be more disappointed in the DCCU.

I was wrong.

 

[Salsa]

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...

good lord

if the Joker has Harley's name tattooed on his body then what the fuck are they even doing

 

[Bobby Roberts]

My first thought was Let's Play. Could be a lot of different things.

Yeah, that might work.

 

[gdt]

Goddamn I really don't like it.

 

[Thursday War]

what band is this?

Spoiler

DC plz

Spoiler

ac/dc

Spoiler

sorry not sorry

 

[shadyspace]

Batfleck would have snapped this dweeb's spine.

Exactly. I have my issues with the Nolan films but at the very least it was believable that the Joker presented a threat to Batman that no other villain did. Leto looks like a Joker henchman much more than the actual Joker.

 

[Ahasverus]

The face tatoos are too much, terrible. Perhap's they're not permanent?

Also, I'd keep in mind that this Joker is going against Batfleck, it has to look like he can survive him. This looks like it.

 

[>:)]

But now that we got the look outta way, the real selling point for me is the voice. Is he using his normal voice like Jack, or something awesome like Ledger?

 

[Escape Goat]

The joke is on the American viewing public.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

That's what they say. That's not what they mean.

 

[Salsa]

AND WHY ARE HIS TATTOOS INSPIRED BY HIMSELF?

yup. like I said before this is the biggest issue

it feels super weird. like a 4th wall thing but at the same time not really


ok: It looks like a Rolling Stone photoshoot where they dressed up Leto as the Joker how bout that

 

[Einchy]

Guess Snyder does not approve.

I kinda hope Joker never shows up in future Batman movies now. Seeing Suicide Squad's Joker in Scott Snyder's Batman/Superman films just doesn't fit.

This sorta killed any hype I had for future DCU movies.

 

[G-Fex]

Oh you.

debate me

 

[Carbonox]

Nah that's legit garb. DCCU keeps on giving.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

But now that we got the look outta way, the real selling point for me is the voice. Is he using his normal voice like Jack, or something awesome like Ledger?

He's got a Troy Baker Arkham Origins kinda vibe going on with his voice.

 

[Drencrom]

AND WHY ARE HIS TATTOOS INSPIRED BY HIMSELF?

Yeah, pretty dumb

I mean, he's got a big ego and all. But I don't see him having a tattoo of a skull with a Joker cap on his chest and a tattoo of his own smile on his arm...

The HHAHAHA with the comic font is just too on the nose for my taste too

 

[shadyspace]

I kinda hope Joker never shows up in future Batman movies now. Seeing Suicide Squad's Joker in Scott Snyder's Batman/Superman films just doesn't fit.

This sorta killed any hype I had for future DCU movies.

Honestly, this clearly shows that they do not have the sort of unified plan going forward that they should.

They need to dig deeper in Batman's rogues. I want a Clayface in live action

 

[jett]

Guys, the Joker is not the issue here. They're going to FUCK up HARLEY!

I don't really see why.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Are we sure they didn't hire Marilyn Manson?

 

[shira]

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...

In the movie industry, a four-quadrant movie is one which appeals to all four major demographic "quadrants" of the moviegoing audience: both male and female, over and under 25 years old. Films are generally aimed at at least two such quadrants, and most tent-pole films are four-quadrant movies. A film's budget is often correlated to the number of quadrants the film is expected to reach, and movies are rarely produced which are aimed at fewer than two quadrants.

I don't know that they are hitting 1 or 2 quadrants.

 

[Schweinehund]

hrm I liked the leaked photos better.

Guess we'll wait and see how it plays out.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I have no issues with it, sure it's different but he still looks crazy and imposing.

 

[Discotheque]

Honestly he's gonna be really entertaining though, I'm anxious to see footage

Looking like a swag rapper tho lol. Really wanna see Harley now

 

[Damerman]

AND WHY ARE HIS TATTOOS INSPIRED BY HIMSELF?

because he is a narcissistic psychopath? who gives a fuck?

 

[SArcher]

Horrible. And that's the Joker we're stuck with for a few movies at least? Ugh.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I don't think Suicide is trying to be a 4 quadrant picture, though. Like, at all.

 

[Figboy79]

I totally see it.

I can't even tell if you're making fun of me or not. I blame the PaRappa avatar. I just can't look at that rapping dog the same way again.

 

[Sephzilla]

Face and HAHAHA tattoos feel out of place but otherwise that's Joker

 

[GavinUK86]

I'm all for a completely insane, banging his head against the wall, nutjob Joker. Heath Ledger was a crazy but methodical Joker. I like that this is the total opposite.

 

[a916]

Yeah, pretty dumb

I mean, he's got a big ego and all. But I don't see him having a tattoo of a skull with a Joker cap on his chest and a tattoo of his own smile on his arm...

Or, he had the tattoo and the green hair and people called him Joker after the fact?

We're all assuming that he calls himself the Joker, and then went and got the Joker tattoo.

What if he was crazy, and had the tattoo before he was even known as the Joker.

 

[erawsd]

 

[G-Fex]

ya'll just want a rehashed ledger joker. Admit it

 

[VladTepes]

This looks really stupid. The Joker isn't conceited and self absorbed enough to get tattoo's, much less a grill. He only cares about causing havoc and looking insane. Tattoo's make him less scary and more of a primadonna or something.

 

[MeBecomingI]

I actually really like it. Completely different than what we are used to seeing. I have complete confidence that Leto is going to blow us away.

Kudos to the team for trying something different.

 

[xxracerxx]

Maybe he will just wash off his tattoos at some point because it was all one big fucking joke!
