Fans Really Don’t Like The Joker’s Look In ‘Injustice 2,’ But They Can All Agree He Looks Better Than Jared Leto

Real Stories – UPROXX


Injustice 2‘s May 16th release date is fast approaching, and with each passing day, it seems like we’re getting another member of the roster revealed or a cool highlight reel showing off the moves of DC’s massive collection of fighters. The first game from the makers of Mortal Kombat was fantastic. It blended the multi-stage environmental destruction of the MK series with DC’s most popular characters, while wrapped in the narrative of a fantastic story. It was a Win Burrito, and DC, NetherRealm Studios, and Warner Bros. know this. That’s why we’re back for more.

Too bad Joker had a friggin’ hole blown through his chest at the end of the first game (it’s not a spoiler alert if it’s been out for years and years) and now he looks like a guy who is doing a bad job cosplaying as Jared Leto’s take on the Joker in Suicide Squad. Fans aren’t happy.

That Injustice 2 Joker is no bueno.

Just saw Injustice 2's Joker design & I'm pretty sure someone watched Rob Zombie's 31 & pulled the idea from there. Not a good look.

Why is the joker on Injustice 2? I wouldve been fine with him as DLC but his presence means he's in the story & he got a hole punched in him

Injustice 2 Jokers Design is so ugly. Looks like some edgy teenager is the joker.

The original Injustice's Joker was perfect. I get that they're redesigning the characters, and that Joker died in the original, but why??

For the record, there is NOTHING wrong with the following:

— paris 🖖🏻 (@pearisbaker) April 30, 2017

The Injustice 2 Joker looks like if they made the Jared Leto Joker in 1996 instead of 2016

— William Jack (@ozzyboomerang) April 30, 2017

Injustice 2 joker is visually unappealing. Moveset looks great but he looks terrible

— Gener (@justgener) April 30, 2017

@NexusPrime14 Joker looks new but cool in the Injustice trailer, haha. I prefer the classic Joker myself but this updated version is better than Leto.

Glad to see Injustice 2 ruined the Joker like Suicide Squad did. I fucking hate this edgy ass, fuckboy looking Joker

And probably the most damning observation:

the joker for injustice 2 looks like criss angel

This might absolve the developers from the cries of “lame” from fans — you can wear Batman’s mask (probably thanks to the multiverse this game takes place in):

@geekhouse83 OMG dude I love this custom gear headpiece for joker in injustice 2. It's such a joker thing to do. Also u can change the hair pic.twitter.com/8nNdyrOXtD

So that’s cool, right? Joker’s still cool? He might even be Jason Todd!
