'Joker': DC Fans Have Plenty Of Opinions On The Classic Costume
DC fans are starting to finally see what Joaquin Phoenix's take on the Joker will look like thanks [...]
Cesar Romero Vibes
We're not the only ones to notice just how similar the color scheme is here when compared to Romero's classic take on the Clown Prince of Crime.
I’m getting Ceser Romero vibes off the makeup and costume, which is a plus in my book cause that’s my favorite Joker.

prevnextJoker Theories
Other fans are focusing on how Arthur transforms literally into the Joker since we've already seen photos of Phoenix looking normal without makeup. This particular theory is actually pretty solid.
If I had to guess, Joaquin's Joker wears clown makeup similar to Ledgers to commit crimes, only to have it bleach into his skin permanently when he falls into the chemicals https://t.co/gFKx4g8Tve

prevnextStill Not Sure
Fans are actually reacting pretty positively to Phoenix's interpretation of the Joker, but they seem to be a bit split on the film itself, and that's something a costume won't necessarily fix.

prevnextJust A Henchman
Not everyone is thrilled with the costume, but most of the issues stem from the mask and makeup for one fan, things that don't make him stand out from the other henchmen.
Hmm honestly not a fan. Just looked it up. Like I get making him a unique joker. But he feels like one of the joker's henchmen from the games. It changes what we all understand the joker to look like. Visually w all know the joker by his unique appearance.

prevnextIt's About The Chemical Wash
Another fan is in a similar boat, loving the classic looking costume but not feeling the fact that it is regular clown makeup and not caused by chemicals like Ledger's or Leto's.
I love phoenix's joker look but honestly I'm disappointed it's a makeup look and they're not going for the chemical wash look

prevnextAll About The Smile
Other fans are focused on Phoenix's mannerisms and facial expressions, and that is definitely winning them over.
And for f#k sake, look at his expression in the first 2 photos and his smile, he is almost perfect #Joker
