The Joker, chief antagonist of the Batman franchise, has cycled through any number of looks during his flashy 76-year career. In the past, he has been closely associated with elegant yet flamboyant tailored purple suits. But the incarnation of the character that’s probably freshest in people’s memories right now is the muscular, tattooed, Hot Topic-loving jester played by Jared Leto in 2016’s Suicide Squad. The responsibility of creating a ”Clown Prince Of Crime” for the 21st century fell, at least in part, to artist Tina Charad, who was credited as a “costume graphic illustrator” on Suicide Squad. Recently, through her Imgur account, Charad shared some alternate, unused looks for Leto’s Joker, including makeup, wardrobe, and accessories. These pictures give fans a glimpse of the Suicide Squad that could have been but mercifully wasn’t.

Well, I guess things weren't as bad as they could have been . . .

Tattoo DAMAGED on my forehead if old.

EDIT: Bonus Harley art:

 

[Cipher Peon]

oooooooo I dig the tats

Nice c:

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Joker started his own boxer underwear brand to pay for all those tats.

 

[CoffeeExpress]

damaged

 

[Joeku]

That upper-left picture in the purple suit looks like the Far Cry 4 villain.

 

[Maximus.]

Why was this even the experimented direction?

 

[takriel]

cringy

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Well they are unused for a reason.

[Breads]

I actually like this Saints Row version of Joker.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hahahahah

 

[Back-In-Black]

Macklemore Joker.

 

[Glass Rebel]

break their hands so they don't art anymore

Title of the article in question:

These alternate costumes for Jared Leto’s Joker were also awful

On point, AV Club.

 

[Einchy]

I just don't see this dude going up against the badass Batman from BvS.

 

[Xe4]

break their hands so they don't art anymore

Dude, wtf?

 

[Calvero]

jesus christ the one time i wouldn't be opposed to someone responding solely with the word "edgy."

 

[Mask]

I still haven't seen Suicide Squad yet because the Joker looks so goddamn awful that I know I'd facepalm my damn face clean off if I watched it. Though that's probably the least of its problems considering everyone I know who saw it told me they wanted their money back.

Did they actually like look at the Jokers previous designs before doing this shit?

Suicide Squad - Only the second worst thing abbreviated with SS

 

[Joyful]

lmao

 

[Geeky]

I wonder if there is somewhere in a rough version of the script where Joker Muay Thai shorts would have made sense.

There is also another concept for Harley

http://batman-news.com/2016/12/03/early-suicide-squad-concept-art-joker-harley-quinn/

I wonder what was going through the DC/WB Execs mind when he saw a tattoo on their iconic character where her nipples were the eyes.

Why

 

[neorej]

So it could've been worse?

That shit can't be real :O

[red731]

What the hell is that Harley concept. Ugh.

 

[Frozenprince]

Wow I wonder why this version of the joker came out so bad then.

Truly a mystery.

God the art direction on that movie was HORRIBLE.

 

[Snagret]

Man, this just sucks.

 

[liquidtmd]

 

[Grizzlyjin]

"Let me tell you a SexRet" tattoo above Harley's vagina.

I'm done. I'm out.

 

[Frozenprince]

Wait they actually almost made Harley a cutter? THATS REAAAAAALLY BAD. Wow.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Worst.Movie.Ever.

 

[Glass Rebel]

"Let me tell you a SexRet" tattoo above Harley's vagina.

I'm done. I'm out.

oh god, I didn't even see that

 

[Fat4all]

purple and gold

hot damn

 

[CrimsonSquall]

DC has the best people working for them, believe me

 

[Frozenprince]

Legit the fact that DC even let this concept get out of the fucking room and was testing costumes for it, leads me to believe their entire cinematic universe is fucked.

Marvel has executive oversight, however you feel about it, precisely to prevent these kinds of things.

 

[Enthus]

I was hoping to see some concept art of Leto as a classic style Joker. Instead I'm treated to this garbage.

 

[Japanmanx3]

I didn't think we could get worse than the DAMAGED tattoo..................... these are all worse than the DAMAGED tattoo....

I said wow!

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

The "HAHA Special" branding on the shorts is shark jumping material.

 

[Big Nikus]

Hahahaha I'm impressed.

What the fuck were they thinking

 

[Geeky]

DC has the best people working for them, believe me

This same person is listed to be working on Avengers: Infinity War as a graphic designer

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1931067/#art_department

She was also a costume graphic designer in Thor: The Dark World, a similar credit to what she has for Suicide Squad.

Maybe the edgier look of Suicide Squad was something WB wanted to do and went along with it, but to paraphase George Lucas "may have gone too far in a few places"

 

[Lord Virgin]

Snyder and Wilkinson were right there damnit! Just had them do it, fucking Ayer.

 

[Balphon]

You mean you guys don't have your own names tattooed across your chests?

 

[Back-In-Black]

"Let me tell you a SexRet" tattoo above Harley's vagina.

I'm done. I'm out.

LOL! Wow.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

In all likelihood, illicit drugs.

 

[Officerrob]

Joker concepts are awful, but the Harley stuff is a whole different level of runny diarrhea.

 

[Ray Down]

Can someone please come in and make good DC movies...
