Jared Leto IS The Joker - Part 7

[AnneFan]

Surprisingly enough I've come around to the look quite a bit.

I have accepted the new look as well, even if it's not my preferred take.

Time is the biggest healer.

 

[The Shape]

Yeah, I'm pretty much all on board with it, at this point. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Next time he'll be getting piercings.

 

[The Shape]

Cool.

 

[Travesty]

I'm actually surprised he doesn't already have about 30-40 useless piercings on his face.

 

[Rodrigo90]

He's already got the tats and metal teeth. Dresses like a pimp, drives a pimpmobile...we just need piercings and gold chains, rings. Throw in a big purple hat and knuckle duster for good measure.

 

[Travesty]

He already has the rings.

 

[Rodrigo90]

He already has the rings.

Ah, Jesus H. Willy

Why is my name in your sig???


Lolol just kidding

You complete me!

He has a diamond stud earring when hes in the white suit.

 

[Rodrigo90]

He's official. He's a pimp

To be fair, classic look Joker, with his wide brimmed fedora, long coat and spats on his shoes is classic 70's pimp anyway!

 

[TheLongestDay]

I have it on good authority that after he slaps Harley he shouts "PIMPIN' AINT EASY!!!"

Well... According to Big Daddy Kane, it is not.

That's ****ing alley

Joker's also got a very strong streak of ostentatious obnoxiousness. He usually wears a suit, often tailored, but it's got garish colors and a lot of eye-catching personalization. He mixes anachronistic fashion with modern cuts, like the loopy-knot tie he sometimes wears, or elongated coat-tails on an otherwise modern tuxedo, or a man's fedora (not of that hipster, short brim BS), and occaisionally carries a cane for no other reason than its cool. His style often seems like a mockery of current fashion while still flowing together in an stylish, if perhaps madcap and utterly unfashionable, way.

Nicholson's Joker was going for a kind of artistic popinjay-gangster mix, Ledger had a Sid Vicious style look, and now Leto is going for a kind of eccentric rock star in designer duds look.

If they wanted Joker to have any tattoos, I think it's better for them to be so over-the-top and prevalent instead of just a few on his arms or chest. Jim Lee and Frank Miller's Joker is ASBAR had a gnarly back tattoo of a dragon, but it could be concealed with a suit jacket and just kind of seemed pointless. Here, it fits with the overall design for the character. Yeah, it's kind of ugly and seems stupid, but so does an old school bow tie or pimp hat if your costume doesn't fit, and I think they've arranged Leto's look so that the tattoos are an important feature.

This!!!

He's official. He's a pimp

Indeed

I have it on good authority that after he slaps Harley he shouts "come with pimp daddy!!!"

Fixed...

Well... According to Big Daddy Kane, it is not.

I see what you did there...

After all, both complements each other

Joker is a malleable and not just a fixed character. He has some main traits, but he adapts to the enviroment and to the things he sees and experiences. that's the point.
well, dapper is not a definite concept that comprises just some traits and forbids other ones. It's just that this character is adapting to the new era and it's fitting in his own twisted way. He's not going to look the same way all the time, that'll become oldfashioned and bland. If they respect the traits of the look (permawhite, vain, green hair, smile (and the fact that this Joker is established already and that smile may be Batman's fault), and mannerisms) which I think they are doing, I think the character stays true to the original while having a modern look IMO of course.

But that was just discussed already. He has them, we don't know the true meaning or reasons, that's what matters to me in the end.

Great point, I’m sure I’ll eventually grow used to it despite it striking me as very outlandish for the character. As long as the personality and other stuff are kept and we get a good performance, I’ll be fine.

The problem is his suit doesn't hide those horrendous facial tattoos. They stand out like a sore thumb. Not to mention the suits we've seen him wear have the shirt wide open at the chest showing off those ugly chest tattoos.

That makes me think of a stereotypical thug with a hairy chest and a gold chain around his neck, I could imagine him trying to mug someone. That forehead tattoo is very distracting.

A couple of tattoos aren't that outlandish for a character called THE JOKER.

They're all distracting and visually ugly. Some fans were taking solace in the idea that we'd only have the facial tattoos to contend with when he's wearing a suit, which were bad enough anyway. But now we know the chest ones will be clearly visible as well while he's wearing a suit.

Which is not a surprise considering the reveal pic was showing them off. They were not going to hide them under a suit after using them for the big reveal look for the character. Clearly they are a key visual element for this version of the character.

It's not about outlandish. You could have Joker wearing a big yellow hat covered with peacock feathers and say that's not too outlandish for him. But it would be distracting and ugly, just like those tattoos are.

Yes, they are!!!
