The Joker Thread - Part 1

[WatchProtect]

It feels very incomplete without a jacket.

I wouldnt have it be always without a jacket, maybe just for his planning scenes and whatnot

 

[Boom]

At the risk of repeating myself, I'm thinking more along the lines of this than, like, Goodwill

This is almost a carbon copy of his outfit in ASHOSE.

That's probably why I love it so much. Only in the story, it's more of a trenchcoat but that detail could be easily overlooked since the blazer is already oversized and everything.

Except not a trenchcoat, and not navy blue in colour.

I feel like the coloring is close enough. Still relatively along the lines of navy blue, not like indigo or sky blue or anything like that.

It not being a trenchcoat doesn't really bother me personally. The overall bagginess gets the point across IMHO

View attachment 38799 Pardon the crudeness but I'd love a suspenders look for Him, something more casual

This is the “I hate my telemarketing job” Joker.

Yeah, besides the black shirt underneath, they're entirely different outfits. It's not at all a "carbon copy".

They're similar enough, it's not like one of them is a tuxedo. I still think it could potentially be an interesting look regardless of the accuracy (though I don't really blame you for being intricate with the details). I just thought it gave off those vibes.

On a side note though, I think it would be pretty funny if they really took the time to build him up as a psychotic threat throughout the first two movies (even if he has a creepy cameo scene as a teaser of sorts), and then his first real "out-and-about" scene is basically that ^

I don't normally associate punk music with Joker (he presents himself as a bit too classy on his own), but I can kinda imagine it playing over a montage of he and his gang of hoodlums just going around causing mayhem. S*x Pistols, Gang Green, Crime (Murder By Guitar era), the song "Bloodstains" by Agent Orange, Bad Brains, etc.

 

[Captain Tired]

Andy you think waaaay too much about the Joker dancing to music.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Joker should only dance to one song.

 

[AndyTrevino]

Andy you think waaaay too much about the Joker dancing to music.

What can I say? I loves me music.

I honestly just think it's a great way to convey his overall character.

As someone who works at Goodwill, this is exactly the **** you find in thrift stores.

I'm with you, and love the idea. What about pushing the Bowie reference further and using a Bowie song? Can't think of one that word work quite right... but he has a lot of music so idk.

 

[Mindreaper21]

I imagine Joker to have this in his head, but played slower.

Off the top of my head: Moonage Daydream, Rebel Rebel, I'm Afraid of Americans (maaaaaybe), I'm Deranged, Fame (maaaybe), Ziggy Stardust, Let's Dance (maaaaaaaybe).

I just feel like some people would think that it's too on-the-nose or something to that effect.

 

[AndyTrevino]

But I'm talking more about someone that has Bowie like looks. Conrad Veidt is a name that gets tossed around when it comes to inspiration, and Bowie, despite his handsomeness, could look terrifying when he grinned. All without prosthetics.

I JUUUST remembered Kevin Bacon (in terms of looks).

How about, instead of being beaten to death in a warehouse, with a crowbar, Robin is challenged to a dance-off and gets served by the Joker?

 

[Eddie Dean]

What if Joker kills Robin while listening to and talking about Huey Lewis and the News?

If Schumacher, ABC, or CW directed a live-action adaptation of Death In The Family/Under The Red Hood ^^^^^^

 

[Art Vandelay]

FTFY.

 

[flickchick85]

I always imagined the Joker as a Pixies fan myself.

 

[Mindreaper21]

“Robin are you OK?”

 

[AndyTrevino]

FTFY.

I'll admit that I'm a bit much most of the time. But I'm not like those dumba$$ edgelords on Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and/or IG.

I have enough common sense not to turn myself into an idiot by gushing over his actions.

 

[AndyTrevino]

I'm a bit surprised that the media hasn't really noticed Gyllenhaal's weight loss. Obviously it probably wouldn't exactly be breaking news, but there isn't really a ton of speculation outside of this thread as far as I can tell.

A small part of me is just a tad worried though, after what happened to Chadwick Boseman and that IG live video he held back in May. But hopefully it's just nothing.

It would be super crazy if he DID take the role and it was kept a secret until the actual movie comes out in ****ing March 2022. Who wants to bet that something else happens this year that makes them push it back again in another few months?
