TDK Joker was an amazing character, but he lacked a lot of what makes the Joker the Joker. Of course the Nolan films as a whole lacked a lot of what makes the Batman mythos the Batman mythos so it's no surprise that its Joker wouldn't quite hit it. As for Leto's Joker, well, it is probably the farthest from the character we've ever seen in terms of presentation. He doesn't fit the more modern psycho monster Joker, but he doesn't fit the old school Clown Prince of Crime Joker either. Yeah, his performance might end up being decent (though given what we've seen from other characters I'm not holding my breath), but the look is just god awful. How can anyone justify that? It'd be like having Superman start rocking Jordans and wearing a big ass chain around his neck. If you're into hip-hop culture that's fine, but it has no place with these characters, period.

Hip-hop has NO PLACE in MY JOKER!!!

Get out of here Rush Limbaugh

People said the look was awful for TDK version too. People HERE hated it and look how that turned out. Plus given the rumors around this, it might not even BE the Joker... at least not the first one.
