So if I mean IF there was an Ult. Batman what would Ult. Joker look like? Would he have the white skin? Whould he still wear the zoot suit? What is your vision of an Ult. Joker?
Would he have the white skin?
Whould he still wear the zoot suit?
Too goth. The Joker puts goths to shame.
And why is he bald?
I agree with Planet-man. I'm sick of all these Gothy-interpretations of Joker. He's not just some psycho killer, his a crime boss. He has crime schemes, not just crazy murderous insanity. I like the tuxedo Joker with the slicked back hair. I don't even like him all that crazy.
On another topic, the Goth Alice in Wonderland and Oz interpretations gotta go too. Those stories are dark enough on their own.
but the gothic look has been hot for years.
The gothic look and feel is great. It works with a character like joker very well. It would not work on someone like Lex Luthor but Joker is clown-like in looks.
Clowns scare alot of people then add the psychotic mind
What do clowns have to do with goths? The fact that goths have capatalized on the popularity of clown-phobia?
Once again.... where does goth fit into this?
The Joker is psychopathic to the bone, and in reality, true textbook psychopaths don't care about their appearance, they don't care what other people think, they just don't care. In an Ultimate DCU, which would presumably be realistic like Marvel's, Joker, too, would be realistic, and thus his clothes would fit accordingly.
And if you notice, his baldness isn't natural, it's on angle. I think it adds to creepiness of it. Quite frankly, I'd be much more afraid of seeing that guy in an alleyway that a clown with gelled hair and a purple dress suit.
What's "textbook" about the Joker?
I think a lot of people around here just don't get what the Joker's supposed to be. He's not some standard knife-wielding maniac, and he doesn't rely on generic disheveledness to scare people. You can "not be afraid" of a clown in a sharp suit all you want. You'll still be dead at the end of the encounter.

You're still looking at it from a comic book point of view. In a realistic setting, that simply wouldn't work.
Because, you know, the Joker can't still look like the Joker if he looks dark and realistic.
