Speaking of Javier Bardem, I can scarcely imagine how creepy a Joker he'd make...

Nolan produced Man of Steel and is producing DOJ; I don't think it means much in terms of style or story.

This is not the same thing at all. People were worried about Ledger's ability to perform, no one is doubting that Leto is a capable actor, or that his performance will be top notch. No, the problem is that this looks like $#!+. No amount of acting is going to make this look any less like a ridiculous, lowlife gangsta/thug. This will still look like $#!+ even after the movie comes out.

Lil Wayne was specifically referenced and its grill as in "grillz", a popular term for flashy mouth jewelry.
Am I wrong in stating Joker venom is a drug? Pretty sure that toxin is like a narcotic to Joker. Years of exposure would have side effects, immune or not. Again, it all ties into Joker's long history and fleshes out what a character like that would actually look like in this realm. Put Nicholson's Joker next to Henry's Superman and it would be laughable.

Joker venom is a toxin, not a narcotic. He is immune, not addicted. It's a mix of hydrogen cyanide and Strychnodide (a strychnine derivative), neither of which are narcotic. He can make it less deadly or temporary, and due to exposure over years, is immune.

Yeah, I officially love it now. Huge thanks to all the people who were closed minded and refused to imagine the possibilities. Made me think outside the past and focus on what could go right. I think we're in for a treat this time around. Just reminds me of all the people who said, "Brokeback Mountain could never pull off the Joker." Now that's the only Joker they want.

You're a brick wall. Enjoy the media hype; this is a joke on the fans. The tweet didn't say this was his depiction at all. We've been debating something completely inconsequential.

A brick wall? For giving something a chance and not judging an entire film portrayal from one stylized photo? Yeah, brick wall. Please. Just because I'm able to find excitement in something new and different, a fresh twist on tradition, doesn't make ME the brick wall. Miles Morales isn't Peter Parker but I'd be hard pressed not to believe him as Spider-Man. New ideas is what we need today.
Comic accurate
Modern take in realistic setting
The problem is that the tattoos are now labeling the Joker when he has always been a mystery and that is scarier. Take Nolan's Joker for instance. His clothes were custom made, no fingerprints, we knew absolutely nothing about him or his motives. Some speculate that he was a soldier with PTSD but no one knew for sure. Now they may as well hang a sign around Leto's neck that says "I'm crazy". I think Leto has the acting chops to make a great Joker but is he good enough for people to see past this mess? We shall see.

Nope, wrong section...this is were the majority of us bash a film or it's design (rightfully so for this particular design, IMO)
Now if this was in the DC costume section, the bashing would or should be less intense.
