>>212667303 (OP)Trying to make grimdark Batman after Nolan just did an iconic version of that exact thing was a fool's errand. Because in order to not just be a retread to have to be even more tryhard and edgier, to the point where it becomes almost unintentional parody. Hence, this Joker.
He can't not be scarred because if he's not all scarred up he's not edgy, but Ledger's joker was scarred so he has to be REALLY scarred so you know this is even edgier and more extreme to the max bro. It's a race to the bottom. Should have just put the Joker on Ice for a while and avoided this whole conundrum
