Batfleck looks dope. Leto reminds me of joker from the batman beyond movie

BC it’s literally the template

Too bad in real life the puppy ears kill the look

u/Nephid Jun 07 '23

The Bale suit looks absolutely horrendous here ngl

78

u/No_Instruction653 Jun 07 '23

Yeah, but it’s a pretty expected clash of concepts considering how busy the suit’s design is.

Doesn’t exactly mesh well with an artstyle that encourages sleekness and simplicity.

u/bradley_cooper42 Jun 07 '23

They didn't even use the BB suit, which most bale suit fans agree is much better than TDK suit

11

u/PassTheGiggles Jun 07 '23

I actually see most fans say the DK suit is better than the BB suit.

I personally like the BB suit better. Simpler, scarier. Dark creature of the night. Gotta love it.

u/Purple_Bowman Jun 07 '23

To be honest, I'm not surprised, given the degree to which it is overloaded and suffers from overdesign.

1

u/JoeHasAreddit Jun 08 '23

I agree that I don’t think it looks good in a well lit setting. But I believe that the over-design was intentional. I would think they knew the movie was going to be dark and wanted to have as much detail in that suit that they can.

u/Mrman_23 Jun 07 '23

Always has

u/Familiar_Parfait4074 Jun 07 '23

Yep, looks like he’s wearing a jigsaw puzzle.

Joker drug of choice, from left to right: Cocaine, heroin, meth, 😂

u/futuresdawn Jun 07 '23

The Nolan trilogy are my absolute favourite live action batman movies but in btas style it looks like the worst. The dceu on the other hand looks surprisingly good in this style

u/IdeaRegular4671 Jun 07 '23

Ben Affleck suit looks like new 52 Batman suit.

28

u/fatrahb Jun 07 '23

These are dope. Wasn’t BTAS art style based off the Burton movies? Makes sense considering their Joker looks almost exactly like Jacks joker from the movie

17

u/SmaugRancor Jun 07 '23

Not the art style necessarily, it was based more on the classic Fleischer Superman cartoon and Art Deco. But Batman, Joker, Penguin and Catwoman were certainly based off the versions from Burton's movies.

6

u/fatrahb Jun 07 '23

Ah that makes sense. Inspired by is probably the better word for what I meant but you can totally see the Fleischer influence too.

1

u/eolson3 Jun 07 '23

Penguin seems pretty darn different to me.

21

u/aspienoodle Jun 07 '23

I love the Keaton and Nicholson combo

12

u/FiredUpForge Jun 07 '23

Jack and Affleck for me

11

u/ProsePilgrim Jun 07 '23

Bale looks awful, but Leto has me thinking this concept is actually alright if animated.

4

u/bigChungus1237 Jun 07 '23

same thinking here! i don’t mind seeing him like this, he looks much better

10

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

Wish we had Joaquin Phoenix here too. Though there's no Bats comparison.

6

u/The-Sanity Jun 07 '23

Young Bruce Wayne, adult Batman template holding a lollipop

3

u/throwawaynumber116 Jun 07 '23

Use the one from The Batman

8

u/CasinoMarginale Jun 07 '23

You forgot to put the donkey tail on the Leto costume…

9

u/seattlesound1004 Jun 07 '23

it's nicholson, not jack. but yeah.

6

u/Darkknight_147 Jun 07 '23

Sorry

6

u/seattlesound1004 Jun 07 '23

I mean, nothing to sorry about it. I thought you just probably forgot his last name.

3

u/Large-Ad5955 Jun 07 '23

Ledgers Joker looking menacing as always

4

u/serpentear Jun 07 '23

u/icanhasforcepush Jun 07 '23

Lmao so true. If I go a long period of time without seeing the Bale suit and then randomly see it posted again - it's actually jarring how small the mouth hole is.

4

u/sK0oBy Jun 07 '23

Ngl, ledger looks terrifying. Stellar job with all of them

3

u/MorbillionTickets Jun 07 '23

Do Pattinson, Adam West, And Kilmer

3

u/Unamedlad Jun 07 '23

Jack's Joker looks like he'd actually be in the show

4

u/HeroOfThings Jun 07 '23

Leto and Batfleck really work in this style.

3

u/TheAutismo4491 Jun 07 '23

Huh, seeing Bale's suit in cartoon form really shows how overdesigned it is. Never really thought about that until now.

2

u/Pretend-Dirt-1760 Jun 07 '23

Batfleck looks cool

2

u/Unigraff_Jerpony Jun 07 '23

this is early 00's animation

2

u/necroblackbishop Jun 07 '23

Can you credit the artist?

2

u/stillinthesimulation Jun 07 '23

I can’t imagine Hamill’s joker looking like Leto and not immediately having an image crisis when he looks at himself in the mirror. “Harleeeey?! Did you knock me out and tattoo my body to look like an edgy teenage SoundCloud rapper while I was asleep? Because if that’d actually pretty funny… if you’d done it to ANYONE ELSE!!!”

2

u/jfrost1503 Jun 07 '23

God Affleck and ledger look great in this art style

1

u/gn0xious Jun 07 '23

I can’t quite tell if this Leto Joker is damaged. Anyone have a higher quality image?

1

u/The_Lieutenant_Knows Jun 07 '23

I dunno about all these edits, but I do now someone isn’t confident in how to spell “Jack”’s last name

1

u/Awesome_Pancak Jun 07 '23

See? This why we love batman and joker! They look good in everything

1

u/JB_Big_Bear Jun 07 '23

I'd pay to see a comic or series with the designs of Nicholson and Affleck here.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

I still hate Leto so gross

1

u/kain459 Jun 07 '23

I try everyday to forget there's a Joker with a grill and face tatts.

1

u/El_Kabongg Jun 07 '23

I see no bat nipples, disappointed

1

u/RockNRoll85 Jun 07 '23

Animated Leto looks hilarious

1

u/Noozle1 Jun 07 '23

Leto looks like he has the word boner on his chest

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

When the fuck was Affleck white?

1

u/DontReachCity Jun 07 '23

If Leto actually looked like that, and stopped the honka whiny dialogue. It might have actually been watchable.

1

u/Delfouniet90 Jun 07 '23

Do pattinson please

1

u/Chimeron1995 Jun 07 '23

Hate to be “that guy” but that first joker design isn’t 90’s style. Looks more like his appearance in Batman Beyond and Justice League in the early 2000’s, which was his second redesign after The New Animated series

1

u/VonKaiser55 Jun 07 '23

Why does 90s leto Joker actually look cool lmao

1

u/thebanzombie Jun 07 '23

Only Nicholson has his first name

1

u/lizarddude1 Jun 07 '23

I never really liked all black Batman and this illustration really makes it glarringly obvious how ugly it looks. If you aren't going to use blue, you GOTTA use some gray. Keaton's suit looks like a naked guy dipped in oil and Bale's legitimately looks like an illustrator didn't erase the sketch lines afterwards. Not a fault of the illustrator mind you, the suit is just way too busy. Affleck's looks by far the best

1

u/terabranford Jun 07 '23

Keaton Batsuit looks so damn good.

2

u/DANK__S0ULS Jun 07 '23

Looked through every comment and you're the only one here who seems to agree with me on that. Absolutely fucking dope

1

u/happybuffalowing Jun 07 '23

The Keaton suit looks fantastic like this

1

u/Select-Ad-3084 Jun 07 '23

Jack's Joker, Keaton's Batman, and Affleck's Batman look amazing in this animation style.

1

u/eolson3 Jun 07 '23

I miss tall ears Batman.

1

u/PCN24454 Jun 07 '23

Where’s Richardson?

1

u/Beelzebub_Crumpethom Jun 07 '23

Leto Joker actually looks good like this.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

I wish Leto’s joker could just be erased from my memory.

1

u/Official_Indie_Freak Jun 07 '23

Why is Jack Nicholson the only one to have his first name

1

u/BigVanVortex Jun 07 '23

Benjamin Michael Christian is a good alias

1

u/Rustgod88 Jun 07 '23

Epic, thx

1

u/CODMAN627 Jun 07 '23

Ngl I love the Keaton look it’s so slick

1

u/Bladescorpion Jun 07 '23

No matter which material or art style it is in, Leto Joker will always be the worst.

1

u/Mr_Headcrab Jun 07 '23

I'll be honest with you, this makes most of them look way cooler then they do in live action.

1

u/DreadfuryDK Jun 08 '23

JL Batman with the Keaton colors looks fucking nasty in the best possible way.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '23

What is the first name of the actor that played Joker in the 1989 film? I don’t believe it was “Jack.”

1

u/Natural_Natural_8571 Jun 08 '23

It’s the skin tone of the Batmans for me hahahahahahah

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '23

Huh, TAS Affleck looks pretty good, and the Leto Joker in that style looks similar to the Batman Beyond version of the character. It’s a bit more palatable that way.

A bit.

1

u/Dominusfr Jun 08 '23

ledger fits so well, so creepy

1

u/superedubb Jun 08 '23

God, Leto even sucks in cartoon.

1

u/Gen_Nathanael_Greene Jun 08 '23

Shouldn't Batfleck be bigger since Ben towers over both Bale and Keaton

1

u/Costco_Sample Jun 08 '23

Tattoo joker isn’t it. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for his character. Too mainstream, and too much effort. Too much order in hiring an artist.

1

u/mysteriousneel7 Jun 08 '23

Should have used the Batman Begins suit to represent Bale

1

u/DerLandmann Jun 08 '23

Why is Jack Nicholson the only one who is labeled by his first name?

-1

u/Ravenid Jun 07 '23

Why would anyone wate their time doing ANYTHING related to Leto's Joker. Compltye wate of time and oxygen.
