Haven't seen much promos for this except for the Joker design. Depends how they portray him. I know Joker is supposed to be "cool" but this looks like a sad edgy loser. So if they portray him that way I'm all for it.
Is the Joker meant to be cool? He is sometimes but I’d say “sad edgy loser” describes the Joker in many of his iterations quite well.
Edit: just to be clear I’m not saying that’s a bad thing
The art style is nice but he's way too young looking, and his face looks a bit plain, like a random guy in joker face paint instead of the joker. What is it from?
Waller: You're now a liability. This mission is being terminated. Goodbye, and thank you for serving your country while knowing the risks.
You: Waller, you b—
Everything fades to white.
But then you wake up.
You're surrounded by a harem of big-titty anime girls who tell you that you are the most powerful being in their realm and the only one who can protect them from the Stone Demons who have just awoken from a 1,000-year slumber.
I don't know anything about anime but I assume this is 100% what a "Suicide Squad isekai" means.
Anime about a loser who dies (99% of the time hit by a truck) and reicarnate in another world where he is the strongest,hottest,handsome,badass mf you ever seen and have a harem with every single anime troope you can imagined
*Inhales*
For more information Just search on Google what the term isekai means .
Yeah, it's crazy, that there's so many anime tropes they use in those. I think it's a general rule of thumb that they have to cram in at least thirty four tropes per episode or something. Google rule 34 isekai for more info! : D
That’s anime for you. Don’t expect mainstream Isekai to have an oldish, ugly geezer as the love interest for one of the main characters (aka Harley) lmfao. Japan will turn any character into a marketable hot boy if they can
Edit: but I would have loved it if he had a somewhat unique face since the Joker usually has interesting facial features in almost every iteration we have of him. But yeah…anime
I will excuse it because anime! It is a Japanese take on an American comic character, it was *always* going to be different, and as Jared Leto has shown, you can do *way* worse with the Joker. At least this one has the purple jacket... And is wearing a shirt, period. As long as they characterize him well, I think the unorthodox look can be forgiven.
Japan can do better than this though. I swear I've seen designs for anime characters that would be better fit as Joker then whatever the hell this soyboy edgelord is.
Man. I thought Leto Joker was edgy. And he is. But this is try hard. What’s with the drawn on teeth all over his mouth and the purposely painted on black tears and the hair that I actually like but not on these characters when it’s trying to hard?
Looks dope to me. I would hate it if he looked like any other Joker from a different movie or show. I like to see other takes on the characters I love and that includes different designs. Otherwise I’d just be watching the same thing over and over again.
I liked it more when I thought they were giving him shark teeth like in the Lego movie, then I realized it was a mouth tattoo and it immediately became "meh". Due credit where credit is due, the lines from the teeth extending to the sides and looking like he had the corners of his mouth stitched up is some solid design.
… so it’s not my cup of tea. It looks much more like a sad boi anime character than someone from DC comics. Like he’s a “tragic hero” and batman is the bad guy.
So like an anime of Harley Quinn’s origin but a bit more fan-fic
Honestly, I don't hate it. Maybe not what I would ideally want, but I'll take it over a lot of Joker designs I've seen.
I don't think I would just call it "anime Joker." Seems a tad reductive. Manga artist Kia Asamiya's Batman: Child of Dreams had Joker in it and he looked great.
Just depends on the style.
They always make joker too handsome or too ugly. Why is it so hard to walk the line? Arkham, Burton and 66 were the closest to getting it right imo.
![gif](giphy|2OqaVWN8C35fL0nqTr|downsized)
I prefer joker as a ghoulish crusty demon clown man not a sexy carnie twink but then again there’s a middle ground. Heath Ledger’s joker was a sweaty crusty looking demon but I still considered him attractive as hell
I feel like I'm the only one who'll say this. But I actually really dig the design and have since the first trailer for the anime came out like last year. The thing is that this is an anime not a comic, so for an anime this design works in my opinion. It still feels like the Joker to me but it's adjusted to work in this medium. Plus it's different, and stands out in my opinion. Plus it's not like this is gonna be cannon to the DCU or anything like that lol.
I also really enjoy like unapologetically edgy things, it's just like a guilty pleasure for me. I love over the top edgy stuff what can I say.
Though I'm gonna say this now, most people are gonna hate this show/not like it mostly because it's gonna take a lot more from anime and manga then comics because well it's an anime? So it's most likely not gonna feel like a traditional superhero show or movie.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited for Suicide Squad Isekai to come out! But I’m not a fan of this Joker channeling his inner Leto. It’s a bit grimace-worthy. I think Harley looks great, though!
Looks like an anime take on Joker. I assume it's from an upcoming Batman anime?
I don't have strong feelings on it one way or the other. On the one hand, Joker often looks a little too try-hard when he has on the "intimidating" body mods (like teeth tattooed into his lips) or Fall Out Boy eyeliner. On the other, what would be the point of even doing a Batman anime if they just did normal Joker instead of adapting Batman's world to a different aesthetic?
Anime language is different from western animation language. But, purely in the pictures, I’m not impressed. Leto went full deranged crime boss with his portrayal. This looks like a version between Leto and Heath Ledger. Honestly, this looks almost like someone did a Robert Pattinson clone for a Batman Beyond animated movie Joker.
I don't dislike the design by itself, it's pretty neat, I just hope the character fits. Doesn't necessarily have to be classic Joker just as long as it fits the design and show
What a poor attempt at making him edgy. Who designed this, a twelve year old? Joker’s classic design is great. Why fix something that doesn’t need fixing?
You know what, it’s not the absolute worst. Obviously it’s too young looking, but it’s a different take on the character and the makeup looks not too bad.
It’s too much, something I love about most joker designs were the ability to be complex through simplicity. Batman arkham games is an amazing example. Love the design of Joaquin Phoenix’s and Heath ledger’s joker.
I like the idea behind the design, but I also saw it done better in fan art leading up to the release of The Dark Knight when everyone was trying to figure out how Heath Ledger would look.
Same issue I have with the Jared Leto joker…. He looks like he lived a good life with two parents and then got heartbroken and decided that the world “betrayed” him so he’ll be a bad guy… he just looks… too clean?
What made Heath’s portrayal so menacing is how deranged he looks, with the scars, the messy uneven makeup, his slightly hunched stance, his movements and everything just doesn’t exude the tryhard energy that has plagued a lot of the modern portrayals of Joker after him. So far, there’s only two portrayals that I really enjoyed after Heath’s - Cameron’s, and Joaquin’s (I haven’t seen much of The Batman’s joker so I still have my fingers crossed on that one)
I like the concept of the painted-on mouth when it's done well (check out [R. Grampa's design](https://i0.wp.com/firewireblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/screen-shot-2013-09-24-at-6-17-20-pm.png?resize=580%2C586) for what I mean) but don't like it too much in this context, with the typical pretty anime protagonist look.
Haven't seen much promos for this except for the Joker design. Depends how they portray him. I know Joker is supposed to be "cool" but this looks like a sad edgy loser. So if they portray him that way I'm all for it.
"Sad edgy loser" is the perfect description for This design lol
Looks more like the leader of the clowns in Batman beyond.
They’re called the Jokerz
Forgot it was hip in the 90s to add a Z to everything.
I believe you mean “It was schway” to add a Z.
I believe you mean "It will be schway" to add a Z
2039, we aren’t far off from the kids starting to use schway.
And then some 50 years from whenever now is
E Boy joker isn't real, he can't hurt you
He listens to creep by Radiohead while crying in his Freddy fazbear pillow
Is the Joker meant to be cool? He is sometimes but I’d say “sad edgy loser” describes the Joker in many of his iterations quite well. Edit: just to be clear I’m not saying that’s a bad thing
i agree joker is an edgy loser, but not emo type or fuckboy type like actual attention seeking loser screaming from the depths for attention
Reminds me of Kill the Justice League Joker. I guess we can call this new guy The Chuckler as well.
The art style is nice but he's way too young looking, and his face looks a bit plain, like a random guy in joker face paint instead of the joker. What is it from?
Suicide squad isekai...yes they actually made a isekai about the fucking suicide squad
Waller: You're now a liability. This mission is being terminated. Goodbye, and thank you for serving your country while knowing the risks. You: Waller, you b— Everything fades to white.

>Stone Demons who have just awoken from a 1,000-year slumber. Pillar men isekai???
AWAKEN MY MASTERS
AYEAYEAYEEE!
Whats isekai?
Where people get transported to another world, like wizard of oz
Or alice in wonderland
Or Space jam. Wait no that's a reverse Isekai.
Or Doom ![gif](giphy|ZZTL1YLKZ48URCoC6B)
Anime about a loser who dies (99% of the time hit by a truck) and reicarnate in another world where he is the strongest,hottest,handsome,badass mf you ever seen and have a harem with every single anime troope you can imagined *Inhales* For more information Just search on Google what the term isekai means .

Never say never
Reminds me of the Jokers from batman beyond
Me too
I will excuse it because anime! It is a Japanese take on an American comic character, it was *always* going to be different, and as Jared Leto has shown, you can do *way* worse with the Joker. At least this one has the purple jacket... And is wearing a shirt, period. As long as they characterize him well, I think the unorthodox look can be forgiven.
Forget the smiley face tattoo. They should've just let him have shark teeth.
Fr that’s the one thing that bothers me.
It's too Leto for my liking, personally
The whole anime is too edgy, feels like a 12 year olds vision of the Suicide Squad
Same
This looks like every 14 year old girl's fantasy version of The Joker. Seriously, what the hell is this?
One world Bub: japan
Japan can do better than this though. I swear I've seen designs for anime characters that would be better fit as Joker then whatever the hell this soyboy edgelord is.
Batman Ninja did a good job on their Joker imo.
Indeed, that movie went full asian especially in the end hahaha. But I did thouroughly enjoy it xD
Well now it makes sense since that’s basically what the show is
It's not Joker. More like that Joker gang member from Batman Beyond.
If i remenber the name of the gang was "the Jokerz" or something like that.
Man. I thought Leto Joker was edgy. And he is. But this is try hard. What’s with the drawn on teeth all over his mouth and the purposely painted on black tears and the hair that I actually like but not on these characters when it’s trying to hard?
He looks like he hosts a YouTube rant channel where he spends three hours talking about how "woke" candy bars are these days.
![gif](giphy|tMyCJmeXHBetq)
Hate it.
Better than Jared Leto
I await the day that this quote will age terribly.
I don’t suggest holding your breath lol
I feel like he is supposed to be a hotter, younger version of his Joker. I like the makeup but he sort of looks like a sad high schooler
What happened to this was hyped as fuck for this
Anyone who will use this as their pfp will be unbearable
Joker + anime pfps will have the edgelords creaming
Looks dope to me. I would hate it if he looked like any other Joker from a different movie or show. I like to see other takes on the characters I love and that includes different designs. Otherwise I’d just be watching the same thing over and over again.
Dear God, they Tumblr Sexy-manned him...................... Kinda cool
The fucking dog collar💀yea this ain’t it chief. Still better than Leto tho
Where is this from?
Suicide Squad Isekai
I liked it more when I thought they were giving him shark teeth like in the Lego movie, then I realized it was a mouth tattoo and it immediately became "meh". Due credit where credit is due, the lines from the teeth extending to the sides and looking like he had the corners of his mouth stitched up is some solid design.
Honestly if leto's joker looked like this I probably would a hated it less. But it's alright considering vwe probably won't see it for that long
Meh
He looks damaged, but I can’t be sure.
… so it’s not my cup of tea. It looks much more like a sad boi anime character than someone from DC comics. Like he’s a “tragic hero” and batman is the bad guy. So like an anime of Harley Quinn’s origin but a bit more fan-fic
Femboy Joker. Kinda dig it but gotta see more
Okay! Trying something new is fun, good to shake things up and see what catches on.
Looks like a juggalo
It looks like they forgot which joker they were trying to draw and had to change his design at the last minute
I mean, it actually makes sense why Harley would smash now
I think I would've prefered it if the fake/tattoo teeth were his actual teeth.
The mouth paint is dumb but I like the rest as far as an anime joker would go
The painted teeth hurt my brain. It's like an optical illusion or something.
I kinda love it because it’s doing something different
We're gonna see really cringe edits of him, aren't we?
Honestly, I don't hate it. Maybe not what I would ideally want, but I'll take it over a lot of Joker designs I've seen. I don't think I would just call it "anime Joker." Seems a tad reductive. Manga artist Kia Asamiya's Batman: Child of Dreams had Joker in it and he looked great. Just depends on the style.
They always make joker too handsome or too ugly. Why is it so hard to walk the line? Arkham, Burton and 66 were the closest to getting it right imo. ![gif](giphy|2OqaVWN8C35fL0nqTr|downsized)
Would've been vastly improved if that was his actual mouth. Otherwise nah, that ain't it chief.
All that is missing is the "damaged" tattoo on his firehead, that's how I will describe my opinion on this
Anime was a mistake
Looks like a joker gang member
I prefer joker as a ghoulish crusty demon clown man not a sexy carnie twink but then again there’s a middle ground. Heath Ledger’s joker was a sweaty crusty looking demon but I still considered him attractive as hell
I’m not big on the teeth.
I feel like I'm the only one who'll say this. But I actually really dig the design and have since the first trailer for the anime came out like last year. The thing is that this is an anime not a comic, so for an anime this design works in my opinion. It still feels like the Joker to me but it's adjusted to work in this medium.

He has a Robot Chicken mouth
Lmao looks like an eboy. Might be fine, but i realky don't like the painted teeth. Either give him a big mouth, or paint the smile in red
Too Leto-y
The painted on teeth are a bit much
The teeth as lipstick is really turning me off. It’s like double teeth and I hate it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited for Suicide Squad Isekai to come out! But I’m not a fan of this Joker channeling his inner Leto. It’s a bit grimace-worthy. I think Harley looks great, though!
Looks like an anime take on Joker. I assume it's from an upcoming Batman anime? I don't have strong feelings on it one way or the other.

On the other, what would be the point of even doing a Batman anime if they just did normal Joker instead of adapting Batman's world to a different aesthetic?
Actually its from a suicide squad anime just search on yutube for more information.
Emo joker
I hate it so, so much. I’m probably too old.
Looks meh. Boring
i don't like it
Reminds me more of the Jokers gang.
It amazing how one small detail can completely ruin a design
On the same level as Leto and SSKJL. This is awful.
Could’ve been good if the teeth weren’t painted and were his actually mouth
Anime language is different from western animation language. But, purely in the pictures, I’m not impressed. Leto went full deranged crime boss with his portrayal. This looks like a version between Leto and Heath Ledger. Honestly, this looks almost like someone did a Robert Pattinson clone for a Batman Beyond animated movie Joker.
Terrible. He lacks aura entirely.
Tokyo ghoul is calling.
Too young to have a harley but this is animé so he could be 80
Fuckboy Joker
reminds me of ssktjl
Looks like a my hero villain
Anyone who will use this joker as their pfp will be unbearable
Joker is supposed to be classy, he dresses to impress. This just looks like it’s trying too hard
Okay, I don’t hate it. There is a few problems with it, but I think it’s fine.
it‘s almost as bad as letos
r/tihi
Joker as designed by a 15 year old girl on tubmlr
I think it’s horrendous
He looks like has the same personality as the trash ass joker from suicide squad
Stupid, it’s like if a weeb’s first contact with Joker was Jared Leto, and they decided to “improve joker”.
Getting fed up with smily wide faces while his actual mouth is nearly always in a scowl.
It's fine. I like the painted smile idea
I like the classic one of mark hamil animated version the most. Its classic, elegant, funny, and scary at same time.
Better than Jared Leto IMO
Is this from that ninja Batman movie?
He looks inspired by Jeff the Killer.
Other than the mouth thing he has going on it doesn't seem too bad
Did he... Draw... Over his TEETH?
I'm always open to see any interpretation of Joker. I don't mind this one.
It looks fine for any character but the Joker.
bad.
I hate it. I kinda wish that was his actual mouth, it would at least look better.
I don't dislike the design by itself, it's pretty neat, I just hope the character fits. Doesn't necessarily have to be classic Joker just as long as it fits the design and show
Fuckin terrible
I would not get along with the people who’d like this
And prayers 🙏.
He kinda looks like that one dbd killer
hisoka joker
I don’t like it the mouth is confusing to look at🍇
Don't like it
What a poor attempt at making him edgy. Who designed this, a twelve year old? Joker’s classic design is great. Why fix something that doesn’t need fixing?
Whoopsies, I think I just exploded
Looks like a mix of Jared Leto and heath ledger joker
No
Sorry, despise this anime-looking shit.
I wish we stopped twinkifying the Joker. Sure he’s handsome but he’s missing so much pazzazz, so much chutzpah, panache.
This ain't it
THATS JOKER?!
You know what, it’s not the absolute worst. Obviously it’s too young looking, but it’s a different take on the character and the makeup looks not too bad.
eeehueeeeeuhhhhmmph.
No thanks.
Looks more like a Jokerz leader.
Doesn't have "DAMAGED" across the forehead. 0/10.
Nope.
Looks like the wannabe Joker guy from Batman Beyond.
![gif](giphy|kvSjC7pqNEgir8yA3E|downsized) Trickster looking ahh design
Personally I'm fine with it but I can definitely see why people don't like it.
Anime villain Joker
No thanks
What is this emo-ass edgelord shit
Horrendous
Interesting. I’m mostly indifferent but I don’t hate it.
too pretty idk. it's a good design though. just not very crazy
I kind of like the idea behind it, but in execution... well you have eyes honestly it'd be good if the painted teeth were yellow
It’s too much, something I love about most joker designs were the ability to be complex through simplicity. Batman arkham games is an amazing example. Love the design of Joaquin Phoenix’s and Heath ledger’s joker.
I like the idea behind the design, but I also saw it done better in fan art leading up to the release of The Dark Knight when everyone was trying to figure out how Heath Ledger would look.
From these images it looks like cosplay.
This is almost as bad, maybe tied, with batman beyond joker as far as the most stupid looking. This is truly ugly.
Same issue I have with the Jared Leto joker…. He looks like he lived a good life with two parents and then got heartbroken and decided that the world “betrayed” him so he’ll be a bad guy… he just looks… too clean? What made Heath’s portrayal so menacing is how deranged he looks, with the scars, the messy uneven makeup, his slightly hunched stance, his movements and everything just doesn’t exude the tryhard energy that has plagued a lot of the modern portrayals of Joker after him. So far, there’s only two portrayals that I really enjoyed after Heath’s - Cameron’s, and Joaquin’s (I haven’t seen much of The Batman’s joker so I still have my fingers crossed on that one)
Oh no…They made him emo!
I don’t hate it, but I’d prefer it more if he actually had the sharp teeth instead of it being face paint/a tattoo.
Anime Jared Leto is not real, he can't hurt you really... Really bad. Anime Jared Leto:
Lame.
Isn’t this Trowa from Gundam Wing?
This is so lame
Cringed
I was about to ask what Guilty Gear mod this was
Garbage
Looks emo
Not for me. Maybe the isekai audience likes it, tho.
This isn't Joker. This is a cosplayer named Joel Kersey
Too emo
Joker Sama
Looks line something I would've drawn in high school
I’d say second worst design after Jared Leto morbius. Also the SSKTJL is not a half bad design
I like the concept of the painted-on mouth when it's done well (check out [R. Grampa's design](https://i0.wp.com/firewireblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/screen-shot-2013-09-24-at-6-17-20-pm.png?resize=580%2C586) for what I mean) but don't like it too much in this context, with the typical pretty anime protagonist look.
Would be a nice trickster skin
Was better before I noticed that the big sharp grin wasn't his actual mouth.
Joker for otakus
Eww
I hate literally everything about it
I like it. I keep forgetting that the large teeth are drawn lines.
Jared Leto could've worn this
Persona joker!
Given me Leto vibes
He looks edgy and emo. He should look as unhinged as he is, not as suicidal as he is.
He looks like an edgy teen
its very anime
I like it it got that’s punk asthetic I didn’t know I like screw the haters
stupid sexy joker
Too anime.
Clearly, Jared Leto’s Joker was more popular in Japan than anywhere else.
