I did these earlier.

In all seriousness, I know that "wait, then complain after seeing the full thing" is the appropriate response here, but I can't help but be disappointed by the look. Looks like something I would dig back in my high school years.

That is just awful. I honestly think that the joker wouldn't even get prison tattoos.

Why not?

Maybe the thought of the Joker sitting in a chair for 3 hours without moving seems a bit weird, maybe they had Nickolodeon on the TV there.

Lol. I think it would very much be a case of "home-made" tats, done by himself or a cell mate.

After looking again, I don't think the idea behind the tats are bad at all, but I think the issue is they don't actually look that tattoo-like. They do look drawn on as they are.

I doubt we'll see more than a few seconds of them in the film.

Because the joker is a different kind of criminal than a thug, I don't think that he'd be bothered with prison conventions. He'd make himself top dog just by fucking people up.

Interesting, coz I see the Joker as someone who's a bit of a genius, but who's been confined by society. So I'd see those tats as a way of kicking out and expressing himself, not conforming to conventions.

The tats seem more like a genius' expression of his obsession with jester-esq calamity and chaos.

Well this was already stated as an event look and not the actual look.

Not many folks seem to have noticed. I think the OP should be edited and corrected to say as much, since right now it says the opposite.

GOD DAMMIT HOW MANY I WILL TELL YOU THIS:
WAIT TO SEE MORE, THEN JUDGE!!!!
You only see ONE picture of him! ONE!!!!

The same happened with Ben Affleck and Heath Ledger!!!

Nah. Note that people haven't been saying much about Leto being cast as Joker. In this case they complain purely about his characterization.

I don't know, the Joker has never been a character who dominates physically. It's all personality, crazy crazy personality. I don't see him working out or eating alot, especially in prison.

I always tended to see the Joker as a tall, slender, but solidly built sort. Not fat, or muscle bound, but not scrawny either. More just the type of person with a build that gives him natural presence and physical confidence and charisma to go with his personality.

So like a farmer basically?

People were skeptical when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, so I want to give Jared Leto and the costume designers the benefit of the doubt on this.

I wouldn't mind them nixing some of the tattoos, but it ultimately comes down to Leto's performance and he's not a bad actor from what I've seen.

Not just Heath Ledger as Joker. Way back in the 80s people were skeptical about Michael Keaton playing Batman because up until that point he was only known for being in goofy comedies. And I remember people not liking Chris Evans being casted as Captain America because of how bad the Fantastic 4 movies were.

I'm still more optimistic about this movie than, say, Batman vs. Superman. Mostly because its being directed by David Ayer and Suicide Squad already has most of the same content he's used to making.

Why is his shirt off? The purple suit is important.


Really, it is going to be about the performance. Heath just got #1 of the 00s from youtube as best villain. It is going to take a lot to live up to that.

Honestly this looks more like something that one of the Joker gang members from Batman Beyond would do, kind of looks shitty for the actual joker though.
