WHO ASKED FOR THIS?! Leto’s Joker sucks. He isn’t charismatic, menacing, or interesting. Plus he looks fuckin’ stupid. That “Damaged” forehead tattoo is perfect symbolism of how the DCEU’s wannabe edgelord bullshit doesn’t fucking work. At all. https://t.co/19a1HgT1xr

The Joker looks terrible

In fairness, many complaints are about The Joker getting an origin movie altogether. Most concede that Phoenix is an amazing actor who will crush the role.
As a non-comic book nerd who just likes good movies, I’ll give Phoenix a shot. The makeup has a realistic feel, which makes him scarier. And Phoenix is a proven nutcase who will probably crush the role.
I just feel bad for those in the movie will be sprayed by faygo.
