Okay. So I don't even come on Tumblr much anymore and that's how serious I am about this. What, what on earth has. They done? Jared Leto had so much hope, so much ability and everybody was really excited for him to play The Joker, everybody was stoked at the first still shot on his Instagram of him recreating that classic "The Killing Joke" pose with the camera. And they go fuck it all up right here, and I'll tell you why in detail. Firstly, and most prominently, his tattoos. I don't know of a single joker in all the comics who have had tattoos (I think a few alternative universe Jokers did but that shouldn't count towards this) and there's one big factor as to why he doesn't. Yes he likes pain and suffering and probably harms himself, but he doesn't give himself any features which he could be identified by, such as tattoos, he likes to stay as incognito as possible (until of course he wants to show himself, in which he does all guns blazing) but my point is he is the king of disguise, he often tells Batman "how do you hide something from the worlds greatest detective?... You stick it right under his nose" and this sums him up brilliantly. I mean his own suit, his iconic suit, he even made that himself, with materials he had others buy (who were later killed of course) from several different places so he could never be tracked by a tailor or by police following up his purchases, all loose ends had been tied. Secondly, the teeth, my god the teeth. Of course criminals aren't known for keeping up to date with their dentist appointments, but he has never had black teeth, ever. He has yellow teeth because it contrasts with his white skin, it makes his sinner, and albeit, famous smile all the more frightening. It singles him out from the rest and I think this is were they are going wrong. Ayer said his Joker is closely related to the Joker from "The Killing Joke" comic line and yet I fail to see one aspect from that incorporated into his design, apart from his pale skin which in my opinion isn't even pale enough. They're trying too hard to make him his own "movie villain" rather than a comic villain, but that's what he is so they should stick to the script regarding his appearance and not tangent off onto some god forsaken shithole. I think I've made my opinion clear, make sure to tell me how you feel. I will say this though, I was too overly-enthusiastic about Heath Ledgers Joker at first, but he had been the best so far, hopefully Jared Leto can prove me wrong too.
