Continuing the discussion from Jared Leto's Joker:
Looks like this, apparently:
Didnāt he used to be in The Prodigy?

Iām agreeing with the comment in the previous part of this thread; I think that we should give Leto (who has done some really interesting roles) a chance. Itās all in the writing; Iād never been a big fan of Harley Quinn, for example, and the post-New 52 version made her look like one of the Suicide Girls, but sheās currently being written very well. And, especially given that the Joker has never been a Suicide Squad villain per se, itās really interesting that theyāre putting him in this movie.

oh wow I can tell this version of the Joker is a real bad dude because his origin story involves falling into a vat of hot topic

Makes sense. Heās an insane clown who apparently has a posse.

Iām sure Leto can do a great job with the role. Itās just the costume design Iām less fond of.
The disturbing contrast between the Jokerās dapper dress and psychopathic behavior is an important part of the character. Trying to make him look more āhardcoreā actually makes him less hardcore.

Now Iām trying to imagine what Jack Nicholson or Cesar Romero would look like in that getup.
Okay, you know what this design actually makes me think of? One of the try-hard fellas from the Jokers gang in Batman Beyond.
ā¦Wait, that just looks like a typo. Like, not the Jokerās gang, but the gang that calls themselves the Jokers and sticks people up on subways wearing clown makeup.

We donāt know his dress yet. I predict a form fitting suit with some sheen to it.
Clearly they are going for a younger, perhaps edgier. But other than tattoos, he isnāt much different than other renditions of the joker.
Iāll reserve judgment until I see it. This could be like Ledgerās Joker or Cruiseās Lestat.

Marvel is playing to my inner 10 year old. After the Batman vs Superman trailer, and this, it looks like DC is for my inner 15 year old who listens to Rammstein and plays Warhammer 40k.
So yeah, he looks stupidā¦ but I part of me still thinks he looks cool.

Initial responses to Heath Ledger as the Joker:
Basically, cool your jets until you get see the man act.

Joker having tats that say āJokerā and āHAHAHAHAHAā and pictures of jokers is sort of like that bit about childrenās Incredible Hulk Halloween costumes that I forget where itās from and now canāt find. (Paraphrasing):
āIf youāre supposed to be the Hulk, why are you wearing a yellow plastic bib with a picture of The Hulk on it? Have you ever seen a drawing of The Hulk wearing a drawing of himself under the words āTHE HULK?ā Yeah, I thought not. Get the fuck out of here.ā

I see the tattoos and I immediately thought of Spiderman as an EDM Snapchatting douche. Given that itās Hollywood and its penchant for cloning ideas, I canāt help but think that someone at WB said, āSony is making Spiderman an edgy douche! We need some of that!ā

I guess that theoretically Cesar Romeroās Joker could have had similar tattoos over most of his body, we just never saw them because he didnāt appear shirtless in public. Even in situations where it really would have made a lot more sense for him to appear shirtless.

This makes no sense. The Joker is supposed to be a sociopath. Therefore, those "HA HA HA"s should be in Comic Sans.

Cesar Romero wore a tailcoat, and Ledger wore a trench coat although it was styled more like a frock coat.
That someone being a hip, cool, 45 year old.
