I don't know if I'm a big fan of the new joker.

The interesting thing about the original joker and the Jack Joker was that they didn't have to go out of the way to make him look crazy or like a psycho. He just was. You knew that the craziness was underneath that green or purple suit, and that white face paint with the big smile. Sure he fell in a vat of acid that made his smile, but everything was inside. It was subtle by frightening.

With this one, with the scared face, the messy hair, the sloppy makeup the dirty clothes, its like, look at me, I'm a homicidal maniac that laughs. Its like being punched in the face with the craziness. Its not subtle or classical.

I'll have to see the movie. but this looks like its going down the path of the other batman sequels. Over the top obvious villains and gadgets.
