That fits the current emo homoerotic with batman thing he has going now . And nowadays the type of guy who's the joker would most likely look like this joker than jack Nicholson . He's a psycho that has a magnetic pull to others like him and has a way to manipulate people like no other .
Ok I think your making the pics enthusiasm much higher than it really was. The teaser is what sold if the pics were very much divisive .i really like your takes but I think your very wrong on this one and if this was a tv show thread you'd be willing to give this more of a chance. I'm not sure but I dang think you know as much about joker as you seem to think man so maybe you should be alittke more open minded
There wasn't enthusiasm, people were willing to give it a shot based on the pictures. "Ok this looks creepy" =/= "Ledger is the GOAT Joker!"
The enthusiasm came from the first 5 minutes or whatever they released before the movie. Maybe I wasn't clear, I dunno.
And The Joker been around since the 1940's breh....but there has been very few major changes over the years. Most of the Jokers in cartoons, videos games, movies, etc. are either versions of Cesar Romero, or Miller's "darker" version. And that's about it. His origin story has changed a few times, but even most of those incorporate The Red Hood, or a variation of it. And even
that has been around longer than I've been alive.
Recently he got his face cut off, and sewn back on.
Basically I
do know as much about The Joker as I seem to think, because there ain't much
to know. It's not like he's Wolverine with 5,000 back stories.
And it ain't like I'm shytting on the movie....I said I still have interest. But whereas before I was indifferent to Leto as The Joker, now he has an uphill battle.
