Now he's an amalgam of himself and Leatherface.
Stupid DC.

Lord... DC is so twisted. Perhaps they'll place him in armor next. Then they can give him a hockey mask like Jason... He can write "Ha! Ha!!" all over it.

Man, that's just plain awful.

I'm not even going to bother with this one. Okay maybe just a little.
Take the most iconic villain in comics, and mangle up that iconic visage...for this?
Someone buy DC. Please?

The Joker has always been a character that is scary IF he is written well...So why change his facial appearance to be "shocking" unless you've boxed yourselves in creatively?Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

I thought it was bad when they stole Superman's underwear. Now they've taken Joker's face. I'm just wondering which longtime favorite is going to be castrated and rebranded Eunuch, The Man With No Balls.Last edited by madmarva; Aug 15, '12, 7:18 AM.Comment

^He's got them. I think it's what he thinks with.
Everything is TOO ballsy and extreme. Like Anthony said, can these guys not come up with scary Joker tales without resorting to mutilation film tactics?

Why is it when I see this I'm reminded of The Simpsons episode of Lisa getting braces?Comment

Apparently beating a teenager (Jason Todd) to death with a crowbar or shooting a young woman (Barbara Gordon) point blank and then proceeding to strip her and photograph her as she lay writhing in pain isn't scary enough for DC...Not to mention the numerous henchmen Mr. J. has pushed into traffic or popped with a spear gun just because they didn't laugh at his jokes...Think OUTSIDE the Box!

Boynightwing, I'm guessing the story will probably be pretty good. Snyder is a fine writer, but I doubt that the crux of his story hinges on Joker's new look. Why even go down that road?
It really strikes at the core of the character. Joker is supposed to be ironic. At first glance he has the looks and the trapping of a clown, but he's incredibly dangerous.
There's nothing ironic about being startled by a person who has had their face skinned off. It's the natural reaction.
To me, it's just another example of DC not understanding its characters or attempting to run away from them in a vain attempt to be cool.
Snyder might not have had anything to do with it since it was set up in Detective Comics, but who knows.
I admit, I am looking forward to the story, but it's not because of Joker's lack of a face. I'm interested in what Snyder will do with him. I just hope the arc is not as long and drawn out as Court of Owls.Last edited by madmarva; Aug 15, '12, 8:28 PM.Comment

Yes the ironic simplicity of a demonic looking hero and a child-friendly-looking villain seems lost on whoever thought up this awful idea.
I understand Snyder is a good writer, but I so detest what they've done with the characters, and the general direction of the DCU, I don't honestly think I could give him a fair shake on Batman.
