Even taking into consideration that this is a "proto-Joker" (per Reeves, he hasn't become Joker yet)... I am not feeling this look at all. Between this and Gotham, I have no idea why people are insistent on making Joker hideous and covered in prosthetics. It's completely unnecessary. Joaquin Phoenix didn't need to look like he rubbed his face with a cheese grater to win an Oscar for playing the Joker.

The performance is interesting, as is the idea of never really showing him, and the notion that he actually looks like someone who fell into a vat of acid. But he seems to be drafting on Heath Ledger and maybe Cameron Monaghan's work, rather than trying to create a fresh interpretation. I'd love to see a live-action Joker with the theatricality, the menace, and in a weird way, the vulnerability that Mark Hamill brought to the role.

The best idea I've seen in recent memory was, "Let Sacha Baron Cohen put on the loudest purple suit and mine for a new kind of horror we've never conceived."

No, it has to be Nic Cage. He has the necessary manic energy down.

"Hello to you

My name Joker

This my story

Joker: A movie film to make benefit clown advertising in Gotham City

Very nice

I live in Gotham City

Is is number one city in America in many area

We have second most livable sewers in tri-state area

Bane himself say: Can barely smell the scent of human waste when plotting acts of anarchism while dressed as pro-wrestler

We have highest number of "No tell" orphanages

You want to find orphan? You want to dress him in bright green pants? They help you find great success!

We also number one in creating orphans. Gotham's streets most likely to create orphans in all of America"

I think I'd see a movie where the joker just goes around giving shitty politicians and rich people enough rope to hang themselves on film

[tinygaylaura]

This being the Joker he would probably take that quite literally

Don't have him shave, just cover his facial hair in greasepaint
