It's confirmed somewhere?It’s a fantastic make up test, and it’s great that they shared it with us... but I’m happy it’s not the final look, because it’s not The Joker, just Phoenix in John Wayne Gacy make up. Love the tone of the video, though.

I remember Hardy as Bane first photo. At that time we didn't know if it was part of the film or not, but later it was revealed it was just camera test. But it's what ended up being in the film.
That just doesn’t make sense. His suit is literally a direct translation of the comics, it seems weird for his makeup to be such a departureAll things being equal, I don't see why they'd release the first photo of the Joker with it being a preliminary concept that wouldn't make it into the final film. It's a safe bet that this is how the Joker will look in this new movie, and I don't see any real reason to believe that it'll evolve past it.

Because we had excellent adaptations of the classic Joker and they try to do something new with the material?How did they spend 40 years getting the Joker so right on film and television, and now we have this and Leto's Joker inside 3 years... I mean WTF?
Scott Synder's thoughts basically reflect mine:
Nolan did something new with the material. You can do something new and still reflect the character and not suck. The "do something new" is an excuse for crappy execution.Because we had excellent adaptations of the classic Joker and they try to do something new with the material?

It's not an excuse. Obviously, chance of failure is much higher when you attempt to do something new.Nolan did something new with the material. You can do something new and still reflect the character and not suck. The "do something new" is an excuse for crappy execution.
WB and DC have been awful for a while now. They have not shown an ability to make a good movie outside of Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman". What patience is there to have for them at this point? The studio's whose like DC films was JL. This is like waiting patiently for Michael Bay to make a really good film. If it happens, great. But I am sure as hell not expecting it.Exactly. Nolan did something new with the character. Yet the reactions on these message boards were hilarious! People freaked out, and not in a good way, when the first pic of Heath Ledger's Joker was released. If I had a penny for how often "that's not the Joker" was written on this very website. Yet they took everything back once they saw what the filmmakers were aiming for. And once again people don't have the patience to see what they're going after, and are already screaming about the (CBM-)apocalypse.
Is this still set in Gotham City?
