Guys... I'm pretty sure it says "sekret," not "sexret." "Let me tell you a sexret" makes no damn sense. It's still fucking stupid though.
Jesus Christ, these are some next level terrible designs though. Looked up the costume designer and she's never made anything this abjectly awful before. What happened? Did Ayer mandate this?

Tell as all about this secret magic formula that is reserved for these movies, and involve going from absolute dog shit concept design in pre to just plain shit in post.
What? No man. Look at the post history. It is all he does. At some point you gotta suspect some severe cognitive dissonance.

The Joker clothes just look like they were designed as merch to be sold at Hot Topic.

If it makes anyone feel better, I think it's supposed to be "sekret" not "sexret".

And jesus fucking christ at those Harley concept pictures what the fuck was the artist thinking? That shit should of never even been a concept to begin with.
We at Warner Brothers want a Joker with attitude. He's edgy, he's "in your face." You've heard the expression, "let's get busy"? Well, this is a Joker who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.
I feel we should gangsta-fy him by 10 percent.
Let's put him in a "Muay Thai" context.
That shit is so bad it's just indefensible.

wow that Harley concept is terrible

It's both, I think. It's technically "sekret" for the sake of making sense, but the "k" is drawn such that your mind sees "sex."

It kills me Snyder didn't butt in to have these characters fit his universe more. It kills me it got to the point where they literally tested these

I understand wanting to go in a different direction and not rehash the same concepts over and over. But I just can't stand gangstA Joker.
Also Harley concept is just sucky. Seems like the general concept of these two character designs is to put their character descriptions on their clothes. JOKER PUDDIN PUDDIN HAHA

Concept or not, final version or not, I don't understand where they're going with this new direction for the universe. I'm glad some are liking it, but the appeal in these first two movies so far is not winning me over. That could really just be my feeling on their overall quality, but I think it's more than that. There's something missing in these films, they feel really hollow and like they are chasing trends and what the market is asking for. But then critically they are getting pummeled for it, since the market doesn't really want something that was specifically mechanically made for the market.
Long story short, this doesn't feel right, haha.

God's had his chance.
It's called Chappie and it's also terrible.
Do you think they even look at these images when they ask their concept people to make them? Do they look at the comics? Real human beings?
Like... how do you even get your head in a place where you put this shit together as an artist and sit back and go like.. "Yeeeaaa.... yeeeeeaaaaahhh! Done!"
Chappie is a guilty pleasure of mine thank you very much.

'Let me tell you a sexret' may actually be the worst thing ever.

Did the comics actually heavily use the "ha ha ha" written on walls and such imagery for Joker? I remember it being on marketing/merchandise materials, especially for TDK, but haven't read many of the comics.
Even if so, it just seems out of place in "gritty" live action.. let alone as tattoos.
....aanyway, when the Joker images first showed up I remember some kind of quote that the tattoos and such had a reason and would be explained. Did we get anything?

It is used in the comics, and there's been some pretty ridiculous schemes the Joker has had. It's all about execution though, and the execution here was rather generic and silly.
Him having tattoos on it's own isn't necessarily bad, but having such absurdly on-the-nose tattoos like "damaged" or "ha ha ha" sticks out as being pretty ridiculous.
To me Joker doesn't really seem like much of a tattoo guy to begin with though. I could see him doing some form of self mutilation, but that's far too graphic for the audience they want for a movie like this.

Christ, and I thought the final Joker design was bad. Glad they landed on something good for Harley in the end, at least.
So I'm not a big fan of the designs. Or at least the direction for these specific characters.
I wouldn't be upset with the concept artist (I actually like the final Harley concept), I'd put the blame towards the art director or the director of the movie who probably pushed this aesthetic.
Sometimes us artist have to draw things with don't like but the Job is the job. Could have had a dope design but when presented could have been told to change everything (just a guess)

Oh yeah. I don't blame the artist, I blame the person who told them to make it.
