What the fuck about this was even remotely supposed to look like the Joker? It looks like an edgy copycat of John Wayne Gacy.

I was going to say that I'd prefer that the Joker would wear his traditional colors, but now I just realized that he'd look too much like the Ledger Joker

>>1023946

It's actually a reddit meme… and yes i know… it's suprisingly below the "reddit quality"… but atleast we know it's possible.

>>1023950

Oh, okay. Good luck killing yourself, I wish you the best.

>>1023956

He did.

>>1023949

There rumors that he dark knight joker dad

>>1023948

With how edgy capeshit has gotten, a pedophile rapist clown is probably par of the course.

Why would they change the color scheme that's been pretty much constant in every iteration? His main colors are white and green, with red detailing on the mouth and often purple or blue-purple clothes. Changing the colors to Murrica gives the character's appearance a hugely different meaning. It's like this was designed by a producer or something.

Joker typically:

White skin - uncanny and alien, creepy, bloodless

Green hair - alien, wacky, bizarre, unnatural

Red mouth - bloodthirsty (meant to clash with bloodlessness - it looks like it's someone else's blood giving his mouth that color), violent, predatory

Purple clothing - Wealth, style, flashiness, flair

Yellow teeth - animalistic, gross

Yellow/gold clothing details - complement to purple, also implies wealth and opulence

Joking Phoenix

White skin - clearly just painted on over the face, where it's usually the actual skin color, so it looks like a low effort regular clown now

Natural hair - normal person who can't be bothered to put effort into the wacky persona

Red mouth and nose and eyebrows and jacket - now the red it just part of the color scheme and the mouth being red doesn't mean anything in particular. Red now dominates the color palette, making his coloration warm when it's usually neutral-to-cool reflecting his coldbloodedness and detachment

Blue accents - blue indicates strength and coolness (as in calm, tranquil) which is completely wrong for the Joker, who is bombastic and wins through trickery.

>>1023948

I assume that's early Joker, and he hasn't got the look down yet.

>>1024049

>>1024052

I really hope it's like some people assume and it's more of his "Jack Napier" comedy persona before he becomes Joker. Hopefully. Otherwise this is just plain lazy.

>finally get the outfit right

>face is fucking painted like a drunk youtube makeup tutorial

◇◇ Why the fucking harlequin diamonds and red eyebrows?!

>>1024349

Thomas Wayne batman or just average thomas wayne?

>>1024356

Thomas Bayne Wayne.

>>1024329

BECAUSE HARLEY QUINN, YOU FUCKING CASUAL!!!!

>it's another we wanna ape Heath Ledger episode

Why can't these hollywood fucks understand that Heath's look was one of the worst things about him? It's iconic because it's terrible looking. His performance is what normalfags liked.

Now they're making it even worse by not even trying to make it look like Joker. This is just fucking awful. When's it even supposed to take place? Is it a complete universe reboot? Flashpoint? Or is it supposed to be that Joker was the one responsible for the death of Batfleck's parents?

>Why can't these hollywood fucks understand that Heath's look was one of the worst things about him? It's iconic because it's terrible looking. His performance is what normalfags liked.

Now you're just being contrarian for the hell of it.

>>1024370

You sure do love to use that word don't you?

>>1024363

Dirty hobo in makeup Joker worked as a one off. I don't really want it to become the standard though. The Nolan universe was kind of interesting as an experiment into what a more believable Gotham would look like. It was a break from the norm, but you need to maintain a norm for that to carry any weight.

>>1024349

>same timeline as Thomas Wayne

Wasn't his wife supposed to be the Joker of that timeline?

>>1024436

That's the problem. The only thing they wanna really carry over in adaptations since then has only been Heath's Joker as far as mannerisms go. If the world is still fantastical then Joker needs to be too.

Why does he look like that? Simple.

The DCU desperately clings to trends, and this time it's The Purge.

Maybe I'm ruined after the DAMAGED Joker, but I don't mind this at all. I like that they're trying to do their own thing, but unlike Leto's Joker they aren't just being retarded and making something with no relation to the actual Joker.

>>1024666

Good point Satan.

>>1024666

If Leto was trying too hard to be a "serious" modern Joker then Joaquin's version isn't trying hard enough to even look like Joker. He looks like a copy cap henchmen on par with Heath Ledger who practically could've been a deranged hobo.

>>1024666

Yea, no shit. I don't even understand the people complaining about this. He looks exactly like I would expect a real world joker to look.

>>1024765

Realism and comic books SHOULDN'T MIX!

>>1024049

>Blue accents - blue indicates strength and coolness (as in calm, tranquil) which is completely wrong for the Joker, who is bombastic and wins through trickery.

I hate to tell you this, but you may be a faggot.

>>1024363

>When's it even supposed to take place?

it apparently has nothing to do with the DC cinematic universe

>>1024767

>if you're aware of the cultural meanings of color as a design element you may be a faggot

You are definitely an insecure faggot.

>>1024770

Stupid.. since the Nolan ones had nothing to do with the cinematic universe either. That's the one that'll be remembered.

>>1024349

reminds me of those live action Dr. Seuss movies

>shittier grammar than a second grader

Who let reddit in?

What's happening to this thread?

>>1024885

Did you miss /pol/ shipping reddit in by the truck loads all of 2016?

>>1024911

>bringing them up at all

Hey look a shitposter.

>>1024766

No, trying to overly produce something to make it look like a comic book creates the shitty green lantern movie.

>>1024924

No you waste all your money on completely CGI costumes, characters, and settings you spend the bulk of the time in is what made Green Lantern bad. It trying to be comic accurate had nothing to do with how bad it was. Fuck they didn't even really do well on trying to recreate a comic.

>>1024911

That was /leftypol/

>>1024935

>bring up either miser board

And reported.

>>1024905

If I'm not mistaken, this guy even does his own makeup. Probably spent most of the money on any custom-made suits in unusual colors.

>>1024945

You'd be surprised what thrift and retail stores have. Plus there's Amazon now.

>>1024949

I meant resell, not retail.

FIRST LEAKED FOOTAGE

>>1024830

Not a fan of this aesthetic honestly.

>>1024883

It doesn't matter what the intent was. If you're being sloppy you will probably create meaning you didn't intend. There's nothing "deep" about cultural and instinctive associations with basic things like color, any more than sharp characters look threatening while round characters look non-threatening.

>>1024905

Because that guy's joker is too "generic." They want their design to be unique (especially after TDK being successful by deviating somewhat from the classic design).

>>1025226

You'd think after the failure of Suicide Squad and the backlash against Leto's Joker that they'd realize maybe trying so hard to be different isn't best.

>>1025196

So as he slowly turning into the iconic clown we know, he losing the colourful paint (like the one on his nose and around the eyes). I think thats pretty nice!

>>1025228

Toruble is that Joker is, if you'll pardon the pun, big shoes for an actor to fill. He's a role that if it isn't nailed it's shit. It is great, or it is shit. No middle ground. Caesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamil, they all made serious definitive incarnations, meanwhile Benett, Richardson (though I'd say he's a bit of an exception since The Batman catched a whole heap of both warranted and unwarranted flak from ahters), Brett Motherfucking Spiner and of corse Leto are all poo-poo'd away with the contempt reserved for a first century Leper

>>1025260

Jeff Bennet's Joker is fine but only for the tone they were going for. Extremely campy and fun cartoon. I'd be lying if I said he wasn't a little too unfitting for the time when Joker is supposed to be threatening.

Richardson's Joker doesn't really have a problem voice wise. So much as the fact it's less Joker and more animalistic than anything before. He's entertaining in his own right but hard to see as a definitive Joker.

Brett Spiner's Joker is incredibly garbage. Hair is all wrong and he's trying too hard to do a raspy mumbling Ledger voice instead of making the performance his own.
