It's........................not good.
I try to tell people that the DCCU won't suck and Man of Steel didn't suck but that's not a very good impression. If they were trying to make a more realistic and modern Joker, they had it right with Ledger's design and makeup.
Quote: StriderSwagThis makeup just looks god awful to me. I really enjoy the Joker as a villain, he's one of the few things I like from DC, but he just looks like a wacky street thug, not the supervillian genius who has to constantly keep Batman on his toes. He's the Clown Prince of Crime, not some insane gangster.
Maybe that's the idea. Maybe they're trying to work this as a sort of origin story for The Joker, where he starts small with his little band of goons, but slowly becomes a very serious and legitimate threat as he goes up against Batman. It's grasping for straws I know, but I want to believe there's more to this than what we see here. For one I doubt he's shirtless the whole time.
When's he supposed to be showing up anyway to where they reveal this stuff? Don't tell me he's going to be yet another cameo in BvS.
