Jerome/Joker on Gotham

[The Bat]

Love Jerome/Joker! Best version since Ledger! NOT loving the cut off face though.

[thunderbolt]

have to agree with Hedrap, there is a lot of Ledger influence in his portrayal, some young Jack in there too.

[Hector]

He's nothing like Ledger...and Schumacher should never be mentioned in any sentence except in a beetle dung conversation.

[hedrap]

I'm sorry, but that looks like Schumacher's version of Joker.

He's swiping so much from Ledger, it's pathetic. And the whole Bruce/Jerome plot pretty much guarantees Batman could not appear in this reality. Bruce would look at these insane people and want to be the opposite. He would become a vigilante Luthor.

i agree Chris. but i also agree that the Jerome character has the mannerisms down and the look, albeit without being white with green hair. I just thought it odd they went with the leather face Joker for this show. maybe that is as freaky as they will go with the character and not do the whole dousing in chemicals to bleach his skin white and turn his hair green

[Earth 2 Chris]

I don't watch Gotham, but the Leatherface Joker was the absolute dumbest thing ever done with the character. He was established to be extremely vain and obsessed with this face...so he has it ripped off, then stapled and taped back on? Pure dreck. They can try to defend it and say there were brilliant stories written around it, but it was just sensationalist manure.

[Hector]

It's the persona I care most about...and the character of Jerome has the Joker mannerisms down.

Maybe down the line...he'd get dosed with chemicals...turn his face white...and hair green...

I'm digging him...

if you have not watched the most recent episode....spoiler alert






















so, I find it interesting that even though DC has abandoned the whole new 52 garbage, they still went with the peeled off face version of Joker for Gotham. thoughts?
