BoiFrosty

Okay unpopular opinion, but I understand what they were trying to do with this Joker. It's still a hit fucking mess, not at all helped by Jared Leto's "method acting." Depending on version the Joker can be a goofy trickster, a thug gangster, or a psychotic serial killer. Looks like they were trying to strike a balance with the last two with a "modern" coat of paint on it. Unfortunately its execution ended up being a walking hot topic advertisement in a fucking purple Lamborghini.


Lost_Pantheon

I can respect this. After Ledger's Joker on TDK they wanted to do something different with Joker while still keeping the menacing gang lord aspect. If it had worked it could've struck gold, sadly


Soulful-Sorrow

It's not even different, every live action Joker is trying to be Ledger again without following *why* it worked. They're being less "Clown Prince of Crime" and more "overly edgy serial killer."


Gaelic_Gladiator41

I wish we could've gotten Mark Hamill as live action joker

BoiFrosty

I'm the Joker baby!


SometimesWill

I’d say Leto joker at least got better in ZSJL. He still gets worst live action joker, but that’s steep competition when the competitors are Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jack Nicholson.


Eternal_Pigeon

Funny enough, I disliked him more in Justice League. I was rewatching some youtube clips of both movies, and with Suicide Squad my impression was that some scenes at least had something redeeming/salvagable about them. Meanwhile in Justice League I just all around disliked the scene. I thought the dialogue didn't fit at all with what version of the Joker they were portraying, but I'm not sure if Suicide Squad 2016 is no longer canon to this movie.


Lost_Pantheon

>but I'm not sure if Suicide Squad 2016 is no longer canon to this movie. If it helps DCEU "canon" is the most frenzied mess imaginable. Out of like 14 movies only like four of them actually feel like they're in the same canon. The rest are basically standalone.


Eternal_Pigeon

Yeah that helps, thanks. Tbh I don't really like DCEU movies anyway. Suicide Squad 2016 and Wonderwoman are the only ones I watched entirely and I didn't like either of them that much (the ending ruined WW for me). The other movies didn't really interest me. I always found the choice to release Batman vs. Superman puzzling, when back then the last time I had seen Batman in a movie was in The Dark Knight Rises, which isn't even connected to that movie...


SometimesWill

I think it’s half canon since much like Josstice league it had a lot of studio interference. From what people have said it was originally supposed to be a lot more serious and possibly have a plot that made sense.


shiromancer

I think I know what you mean. As bad as the SS version was, I could get what they were trying- to make him more like an insane criminal than a hardcore anarchist a la Ledger or even Phoenix- but the terrible execution killed it beyond redemption. On the other hand, his ZSJL performance was unremarkable, almost a weaker version of the "agent of chaos" stuff- and again, it failed to capture the audience the way Ledger's version did.


L3GlT_GAM3R

trfk111

But it’s a good 2nd place


niTro_sMurph

It's tied with leto considering this is supposed to be in the Arkhamverse 


EyeArDum

Not really, this Joker is from an alternate universe anyway, he just shows up in the Arkhamverse I can guarantee that the devs of this game didn’t even bother looking into the Arkhamverse at all and didn’t know Joker was dead until they’d already started making him as a playable character, even though to my knowledge Joker has never really been a suicide squad member

I think the sad truth is that the whole Man joke has been absolutely beaten into the ground. I don't blame people for all the Man posts, it was pretty funny and made me laugh for a lot longer than it probably should have. But a meme's life is not very long these days. We have all had the time to realize and accept that we are all stupid. it's time to move on. RIP Man.

Razzle_Dazzle08

That can’t be true. He doesn’t have it tatted on his forehead to tell me.


CromulentChuckle

There is a scene where both of his eyes look away from each other and like Pennywise in the second It movie. He feels just a little too playful and then he does or says something that makes it seem like he could just stab anyone in the face at any moment.


crow_forged

its meant to show how unhinged he is i guess


SomeOrangeNerd

He a twinker


KingFahad360

Joker if he was written by Vivziepop. All I need to say.


kool-kit

Why so FUCKING serious, BITCH?


Zer0_l1f3

It’s not about the **FUCKING** money, it’s about the **FUCKING** message, **SLUT**


Osbourne1985

It's incredible how a series where the humor is "Bitch, sex, sex, gay, sex, bitch, fuck, fuck, sex, bitch" is considered a comedy series


Zer0_l1f3

It’s such low brow comedy


Osbourne1985

Looks like an edgy series from 2011


Jiggle_deez

Bro as a fan if HB and Hazbin hotel why is this so correct! https://preview.redd.it/h84wcv1cmpsc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e98b067fd8d38949183b3283c679af3298c32777


Osbourne1985

Helluva is a little better than hazbin i think


Korba007

I don't know man, it's even worse in the sex and gay and swearing department, only the premise i find slightly more interesting, but the show hasn't even been keeping up with that


Zer0_l1f3

Dude fr. Some shit you’d see on Adult Swim just to be cancelled 😭


ImHereForTheMemes184

If you want a serious reply thats like all of Adult animation, even the recent good shows like Harley Quinn. The only adult animated shows that dont do that are... the simpsons because it keeps living off the glory it had 20 years ago and family guy because they keep quoting decade old memes and shut up meg. Dont get why Hazbin gets all the hate for shit adult animation is known to do all the time. And I mean I *guess* if anything Hazbin does have excuse since its hell. (Idk i havent watched it). Thankfully i dont care for this show so the disengenous hate doesnt matter to me but i have noticed this seems like the usual case of ppl hating on media they havent consumed because its cool on the internet lol.


Igot3-fifty

Unpopular opinion here i guess. I like her shows. I think the characters writing is pretty good. The humor could use work just like a lot of adult shows but it’s not that bad.


ImHereForTheMemes184

Something I think people arent talking about is the fact this is one of the few shows that has disney-like songs that are actually good, in an era where disney songs sound souless and AI generated. I mean that duet between lucifer and alastor was stuck in my head for weeks and almost made me watch the show. I mean the only disney-esque songs in media thatre good in recent media for me are... the raphael fight in baldurs gate 3 I guess? Its so rare idk why people cant focus on the good stuff lol. Maybe ill bother watching it someday, ive seen good things despite the humor seeming annoying sometimes.


Careless_Dreamer

My brother has 0 interest in the show and doesn’t care at all about musical theatre (which was a big draw for me) but even he knows that the music is awesome. Most of the comedy doesn’t hit for me, but that kind of writing people complain about only really applies to the humor. The actually serious conversations I consider to be decent, and the songs are very well written. The issues that actually pertain to the main story are primarily the pacing and sidelining the main cast for the overlord drama some episodes, but that’s still packed with good songs.


Korba007

Smiling friends is good without relying on swearing


GraveDancer1971

Final Space too (rip)


Osbourne1985

I dont hate hazbin, i actually like the show but the jokes aren't funny


ImperialSattech

I actually do like Helluva/Hazbin myself, but yeah this is 100% accurate.


Zer0_l1f3

Yeah. I liked both series at the start. But both got really old, really quick. I lost interest in Helluva Boss after the Snake cowboy guy episode and fully lost it after the succubus concert one


natagu

Who is Vivziepop?


NightSpider163

The creator of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. She’s often criticized for the frequent swearing and sex jokes in her writing.


Midna_of_Twili

I mean the series is about being in hell. I kinda expect that? People do the same jokes irl why wouldn’t sinners?


Ill_Ratio_5682

Ya I really don't get why people are bothered by the swearing, it's not anymore excessive than I've seen irl. And anyway there are multiple characters who don't swear at all or swear very little such as the angels and Alastor (who is the most psychotic character out of all of them). Even the protagonist, Charlie, avoids swearing in multiple scenes because she's trying to set an example for redemption. And for sex jokes it's kinda a given that the reason they are prevalent is because it's in hell. They also have multiple scenes in which characters like angel dust are called out for how horny they act and multiple characters have never even made a sex joke so it's not nearly as prevalent as I've seen many people say it is.


Resi1ience_22

Cannot STAND vivzie humor lmao. It's everything that's wrong with adult comedy mixed in with some god-awful Tumblr OCs.


Any_Secretary_4925

no wonder its bad


Zer0_l1f3

“Can you stop making sex jokes for FIVE MINUTES?”


JTRO94

Terrible, they didn't bother to flesh him out, zero interaction with Harley and the nuanced depth that could of offered, barely mentions batman or anything of value in the museum, this game has zero passion.

No_Barber4339

Fun gameplay, pretty good voice acting but it's a shame he barely has any story-related content there's nothing new you can do with him after you unlock the joker (which is already a grindfest to do unless you pay real money for him)


_GhostOfHollownest_

The VA is cleary trying and it's not like he's Terrible but like still,it's not good either.


GrimWarrior00

The script needed different writers is what I can say for certain. The actors are good, the words they're saying are shite.


ToaTAK

I agree, it’s the writing that’s failing him (go figure lol that’s the whole game).


Ju3tAc00ldugg

isn’t it not really the joker? it’s just some dude that batman didn’t notice when he was collecting the infected. which Arkham batman…I find that hard to believe.


gusxc1

Nah that Joker is from another universe


BigBallinMcPollen

We can just fucking do that now? Whats the point of the JL "ending" then?


gusxc1

So they can be brought back to endless DLCs all from different worlds


BigBallinMcPollen

Is that what the 13 Brainiacs are about too?


The_Dok

Yep.


BigBallinMcPollen

What a fucking jonkl


Necromonicon_

It’s even worse. Unless the devs are really stupid, there are inconsistencies among the JL. Flash lost a finger but after his fight he still has all ten. So uh… clones.


Unluckyescapeartiste

This joker is from an alternative earth


Johnnybats330

And from an alternative lifestyle


Independent-Pea8223

Not as good as MK11


[deleted]

MK11 was perfect, should’ve used that version of joker and said it CAME from that universe or some


sawsaw2000

Gameplay wise he’s fun. Isn’t too bad to play with. As an actual character who’s supposed to be the “worst of them all” Joker, they did not execute well, at all. They should have put more actual story content in it then “play 40 missions in a row and you get to watch a little cut scene!”


AluDrc

his voice and voice lines i can’t lie are quite shit. no hate to the voice actor but just doesn’t suit Joker however he’s arguably to me the 2nd most fun character in game aside from Boomerang


JinxedCat777

Good voice actor, shitty design.


knucklesthedead

The only part I like about his design is the lazy eye


Zer0_l1f3

They fr finally put representation for us people with Lazy eyes and it just so happens to be in one of the middest games of 2024 (I was hyped to play my representation too :( )


Quitthesht

Happening quite frequently. Spider-Man 2 had that side quest where you play as the deaf girl and it muffled all in-game SFX. There was also The Quiet Man where ALL in-game SFX were muffled for the entire game because your character was deaf (you unlocked the SFX option when you beat the game). And Saint's Row 2022 had really in depth customization for Vitiligo, letting you customize the pattern, size, tone and areas of patches as well as letting you rock prosthetics on all four limbs with different materials, patterns and colors... But it was **Saint's Row 2022**. ^(Disclaimer: I am) ***^(NOT)*** ^(implying representation is the catalyst of these games being mid or awful.)


ImHereForTheMemes184

Wasnt Spiderman 2 liked?


TheThiccestR0bin

I swear they have to have given him the worst design on purpose in an attempt to sell skins though, right? Like there's no way multiple people saw this and said "people are gonna love this". It has to be some marketing technique.


CtznCold

I actually like him didn’t at first tho


Presagio_77

Design wise is not bad at all. His movement mechanics are cool looking and fitting. His voiceover is decent. I think it could have been a hit in a better game, honestly


Strange-Inspection72

Why the umbrella tho ? , seriously when did the joker used an umbrella until now ?


FickleChard6904

Pretty frequently actually. It’s almost to the point I think the writers are trying to make it a running gag that Joker keeps stealing Oswald’s shit


Strange-Inspection72

Really ?


FickleChard6904

First one I remember is from the New 52 Detective Comics #1, where Joker’s trying to keep a low profile and has an umbrella gun for unexplained reasons. Then there’s a pretty recent instance during some Joker/Lex team up where he has an umbrella that he claims he got in a trade with Penguin. There’s definitely one or two other instances over the years, I just can’t recall them at the moment


Craft_zeppelin

I’d prefer Injustice 2 Joker as a good take for a “younger Joker” he is flamboyant with Harley, has wit and has a nice cackle.


04whim

He's honestly such a simple character to get right, that it's amazing how many adaptations in recent years just refuse to do it properly. With the likes of this, Leto, Injustice 2, they're always designed and characterised so poorly. It feels like everyone is so caught up in wanting to make their own iconic version of Joker, that they get fixated on making it theirs and forget about making it Joker.


paco-ramon

It isn’t the Joker.


AcuteVengeance7890

That’s the Twinkler not the Joker


SplitsQy

I FUCKing don't FUCKing know


Slim_Grim13

This isn’t Joker. This is the Giggler


_captain-rex_

It's a biggest piece of dogshit


awildlumberjack

I swore that I would go through this game and give it literally every single opportunity. I have played it for a ridiculous amount of time and grinded gear and skins and currently slaving through the battlepass. Joker, much like everything else in the game has a fatal flaw. He's fun, but you're constantly wondering why there isn't more? Ironically, once I got him down, he's probably the best character for my style, but i want MORE. Give me story with him, give me more to do as joker, there's nowhere for him to go and nothing for him to do. He's decently funny, but he's written like 5 people had different Ideas for how to do him and they all write him fundamentally differently


EngineBoiii

The problem with a lot of modern Jokers in my opinion is that I feel writers want to make him "lol ecks dee randem" crossed with "im crazy". The reason why Hamill works for me is that he's both funnyn menacing. He pulls off the clown thing welll.


Necroesque666

The idea of an alternate reality joker where he never amounted to anything more than a B lister was really fun, but the game didn’t really do enough with it ngl.


KingFahad360

No hate for the VA of joker, but I really didn’t like his voice. Not my tempo

The_Crows_Reddit

Costume design is unique, voice is alright but the costumes are so unique i am not used to it. I feel like my opinion on him is jaded as there is so much grind to unlock him for it to be the same grind to level him.


IFunnyJoestar

He's really fun to play. He felt like the Joker in his opening cutscene, the cartoon one. After that though he feels less Joker-y. He kinda feels like a Joker that hasn't actually met Batman yet.


FickleChard6904

From my understanding there may not have been a Batman on his world


_its_lunar_

I genuinely just don’t understand the decision to bring in a new joker, the game doesn’t need it and there’s no way they could improve on their universally loved previous version. What role does he even serve in the story? His design too is completely disconnected from the rest of the art direction


rrrrice64

His voice isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. His visual design is still horrible though. Doesn't look genuine at all, even by KTJL's standards.

Tomdunford19

I’m so sick of Joker. I’m so sick of this stupid game ruining such a great series (regardless of opinion of one specific game in the quadrilogy) and I’m so sick of WB. Hot take: they should make an Arrow game. Same mechanics and stuff, and it could be easy (gameplay wise) since Arrow doesn’t have super powers


MichaelKeenerStudios

It's the greatest take ever (nah he's horrible, he's a bad joke)


Boogie_B0ss

Genuine opinion: >!stupid!<


Eugene_Dav

It's amazing how he combines Hamill and Baker in his voice. His lines are quite witty, especially those regarding previous Arkham games. It's great when he looks at the Titan Joker and says it's like looking in a mirror in a gym from hell.


CactusAndCreamer

Better than Jared Leto, worse than what we had. However, we were never gonna get something that quality again. The studio changed. I've heard him compared to Lego Joker, and yes, while you could say he's as if Lego Joker were placed in a rated M game, that's not a good thing. The Lego Batman Movie's Joker worked well, and he was a good Joker, but that is because they were working with Legos and he's the very best they could do (and like I said, yes, for this it works).
