Jared Leto IS The Joker

[Greens]

How do we feel about goons? I always enjoy a few expendable henchmen. I quite like the idea of the Joker gang having a unified vintage look, with trench coats and fedoras, but I suppose clown masks and wife beaters are more likely.

Bring Bob the goon back!

 

[regwec]

Heh. Everyone loved Bob. Even The Joker.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Even when he shot Bob, Joker still loved him...you could see it in his face...

Poor Bob

 

[Greens]

He shot Bob.... with a revolver!

 

[Rodrigo90]

It was a crime of passion!!!

And Bob should have told him about the flying thing!!

Speaking of goons

I'd prefer them to have their faces painted and since Heath's Dark Knight clown mask payed homage to the 60's Batman, I'd like to see some goons' faces painted in homage to the clowns of TDK

That would be pretty cool. It would be an insane... clown.... posse?

 

[regwec]

That could work. How about mimes? A troop of evil mimes is enough to put the fear of God into anyone.

I've always loved that pic. Too bad there's no HQ copy of it on the internet.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Perhaps a wide variety? Like mimes, clowns, even some deformed sideshow freaks from TKJ? Those midgets in fetish gear still creep me out to this day.

 

[regwec]

Yes, they were quite nasty. Circus strong men seem an obvious source of hired muscle, too. Handlebar moustaches FTW.

If you want creepy clowns... look at the masks the guy from Slipknot has worn over the years

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yes, I like the sound of all these ideas

They're perfect. They remind me of the goons he had in Arkham City.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Imagine a Joker inspired by this

Having these guys around him

It'll be funny, but pretty disturbing at the same time.

 

[Greens]

Leave out the bearded lady, though. :P

 

[Rodrigo90]

Too offensive?

 

[Greens]

Too sexy.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Darn, you're right!

 

[regwec]

I agree, it would be memorable if The Joker and his mob resembled a kind of grotesque carnival.

I have to say that the Slip Knot stuff seems rather to contrived for my tastes. It's a fine distinction, but I would prefer to have the sense that the gang's depraved enthusiasms are incidentally scary, rather than that they have sat around together designing scary clown masks.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It's what they lost in TDK.

Joker is meant to take anything normal and innocent and turn it disturbingly humorous and take anything disturbingly humorous and then pass it off as his social norm.

I like laughing at how brazen and evil he is

Since when? Give me examples from the comics where he did that. Give me examples from BTAS where he did that. Give me examples from the Arkham games where he did that.

It's what he does all the time, doesn't he? He takes something and then mocks it up in his image of lifestyle
