Mmm, that would make sense and nicely explains everything...

Thoughts?

I don't mind the teeth that much, I figured Batman probably kicked them out. The ink really bugs me tho. It just looks so three years ago trendy. Its not hip or edgy anymore, its mainstream.

I think this silly attempt to grab attention resulted in Joker looking more like the Clown Prince of Pimps. 😫

Show, don't tell people. I know this DCU has been going off screen for a while, but that's something we should have gotten in a flashback in BvS or something. Would have made audiences want to see the Joker more in SS, and be more willing to accept the new look.

But didn't Joker have the grill in the scenes with Dr. Harleen Quinzel? You know, before she became Harley Quinn? I'm pretty sure he did. If so, that blows that theory...or it's bad continuity.

From what I understand, there is at least one scene of the Tattooless Joker in the film. It's a lot ot assume the audience will connect those dots (I wouldn't) but I think this movie will make much more sense in the R Rated DVD they probably will release.

As far as I am care, Joker should have been the villain in the movie in the first place. People know Joker and can follow that as a villain, but introducing a villain that die-hard comic book fans only know about is just stupid.

I'm seeing blurry photos of the scene with Harley in her original Bruce Timm costume, and it's pointed out the Joker has not tattoos there. But he had them WHEN he made Harleen into Harley...didn't he?

I'm really confused. And I think the directors/producers may be too.

Poor editing,or poor story telling.
Either way they could easily have inserted that flashback in the fim,they had several others in the film.

He'd probably be more hip if he sported a 3 foot beard and wore camo cloths ........... NOT!!!!!!!!
