5 Reasons Why I Love DC's New Look For Jared Leto's Joker and Why I Think The Big Change!
Sometimes Change Is Good or for The Better, I Hope So!

I guess by now you have all seen 'The Suicide Squads' movie first picture of the Joker, and boy has it sparked a lot of debate. Personally I think it looks great, and I understand why DC made such a drastic change...I get it, now I would like to share the five reasons why with you. To be truthful I am more concerned with Henry Cavill looking like he's aged 10 years since 'The Man of Steel' movie. I mean he looked like Mel Gibson does now in that 'Batman VS. Superman' trailer. What the hell happened to his hair line? It almost looks like a comb over. Also, please don't get me started on how Ben Affleck is looking fat in that Batman suit, with that GOD awful brown stubble on his face which is far more troubling than the Joker's tattoo's. Now here are my five reasons.
Reason 1, people are complaining that the Joker looks like a rapper or ghetto because of the tattoo's. Have you ever seen prisoners in a prison yard? White, Black or Mexican they all have tattoo's, and since these movies are based in real life stepping away from comics, I get it! He looks far more like today's criminal than any other Joker that I have seen so far!
Reason 2, the Joker is crazy, and he is a real threat. This Joker looks like he is a danger to himself. There is no reasoning with him, he is unstable, and he is not to be played with! This Joker looks like he doesn't believe in God and he has no mercy. Wait until the first time he shoots someone in the head as they plead with him. That's just one look at him. Wait until you see him in action walking down a dark alley 12 o'clock at night while you are screaming out for Batman LOL!
Reason 3, I'm sure the Joker will be wearing clothes and not just shirtless throughout the whole movie, but I've got to say I hope he's not wearing those cheesy green and purple suits...that shit will be cheesy in 2015. It worked in the 90's and early 2000's, but a new school, punk rock Joker will work just fine in this day and age. Besides we have seen that already.
Reason 4, I love the fact that he looks like an albino instead of all of that white makeup. The red lips and black eyeliner look like tattoo's as well. In real life I've seen guys tattoo their face's to look like Snakes, Tigers, and Lions etc. So what if this new school Joker has his face tattooed like a clown, that's not too far fetched for a criminal that loves clowns. ( I guess you guys are going to be mad when he doesn't have a "BANG" gun too).
Finally the 5th reason and the most important reason of them all is that DC had to get as far away from Heath Ledger as they could. Heath Ledger's Joker is iconic now, if DC would have copied it there would be no way that you guy's would accept Jared Leto's Joker. They needed a complete reboot of the character and allow Leto to do his thing as an actor. I'm saying it now...this Joker is going to be the comic book movie bad guy that all comic book movie fans have been waiting for. Not to mention that he is going to steal the show in the 'Suicide Squad' movie. These are just my opinions, signing off... but please sound off in the comments. Thanks for reading.
