eyenon15 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I hope it's not fake gangster Joker that says stuff like "haters need to get off my dick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The teeth are a bit over the top. Gives him a Marilyn Manson sort of a feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 He looks like a bro who is a huge fan of the Joker. Like I would not be surprised if he had a full back tat of the Joker's cut off face from Death of the Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Wow, who knew the Joker was that into meth. Watch out Heisenberg, Joker's coming for yo stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmarshal Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I really don't like it, but without the tattoos and grill he does look like comic Joker a lot. I need to see multiple shots before i can say it is trash or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Like everyone else, I'm not too sure about the teeth, but other than that it looks ace. I like the tats.Eta: The 'damaged' on his forehead is very Raven-from-Snow-Crash, isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hmm. I really really like the look - I think it's quite effective and interesting. But I also don't think it's the joker. He doesn't look like someone trying to make everyone laugh - he looks like a malkavian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueMetis Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Think I'll have to wait and see how he's being played. This look could work, or it could fail horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Tough crowd on social media. They're tearing this up saying he looks like riff raff... We've all seen that before and look how that turned out. I like it and certainly appreciate the different take. It's really bugging me though as I'm sure this version has appeared in comic form before but I cannot place it. Maybe it was the lee bermejo Joker hardcover?

It's really bugging me though as I'm sure this version has appeared in comic form before but I cannot place it. Maybe it was the lee bermejo Joker hardcover?The pose is a reference to this iconic panel from The Killing Joke, if that's what you mean, but I don't think I've seen the tats and grills version before. There's also a visual resemblance to the way he was portrayed throughout Grant Morrison's run on Batman, at least before RIP.What with previous hype-shots also referencing TKJ, it seems like that take is going to be a major inspiration, even more perhaps than for Ledger's. I think that's what the tattoos are about- they're not something the character's done before and in some ways sitting still for several hours repeatedly to get them done is something hard to imagine the Joker doing, but they're a good live-action representation of the type of thing that can be represented by speech bubbles and other comic trickery that live-action films can't really do, as seen in that image.

Maybe it was the lee bermejo Joker hardcover? It reminds me a bit of the Jim Lee take from All Star Batman and Robin. Maybe it's just the tats, but the pose and the leer kind of fit as well. Really aggressive, ultra-violent, and sadistic Frank Miller take on the character... http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/Lumpy67/media/Jim%20Lee%20Joker_zps073ta5ai.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liffguard Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I like the facial expression and the makeup. I really don't like the tattoos. They make him look like he's trying way too hard. He looks more like an in-universe Joker fanboy than the Joker himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks more like an in-universe Joker fanboy than the Joker himself. I can't believe anyone around here is giving that a pass, much less 'liking it.' How do you follow up a portrayal that nabbed Best Supporting Actor? Turn him into a friggin Juggalo with 'damaged' tatted on the forehead, just to make sure we know he's hardc0re. Blegh.

MercenaryChef Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 i am not impressed. been a huge batfan and enjoyed the joker in all kinds of mediums for 25 years at least and this just does not do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbound Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I hate this. A lot. The teeth, maybe bats knocked him the fuck out. The tattoos though. Fucking hell, that shit is just bad. Why would they go that route? Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
