That’s the thing with this interpretation. He hasn’t yet embraced “the clown prince of crime”. He has the green hair. He has the strange smile. So what would be missing to complete the transformation? The clown element. The wardrobe. I’m sure there will be a lightbulb that goes off while he’s in Arkham, and his whole style will be born out of that. I feel like if he was already on the streets as the Joker, the convenient costume you see from the Bermejo art would fit like a glove. But here, it seems like he’s about to become the Joker, so you need a dramatic entrance. Just throwing a plain trench coat over some clothes wouldn’t really feel that different now would it? Seems to me like he would actually get dressed up fancy , so the audience has that “ah-hah! Now THERE’S the Joker!” He wasn’t quite there yet before...but NOW it’s official”. It’s like with Catwoman. What’s stopping Selina from already being the fully formed Catwoman from the comics? I’d say it’s the cowl and maybe a slightly different design for the suit she wears. That mask will change and they’ll make sure it pops out when she returns to Gotham City.
I'm curious to see if he'll wear any makeup on top of his skin condition. He obviously has a Joker-ish look as is, but it could be incredibly creepy to see him slop on some makeup on top.
