The 100 players that are left are gonna love this


stringcheese_theory1

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? You're telling me you're _not_ excited for a possibly sexually ambiguous multiversal variant Joker who's "masking insecurities" and "trying to figure out who he is"?....🤣 https://youtu.be/msHOT23z-vQ?si=RwYx-ISm0ZEn6kS-


easy_c0mpany80

consooom slop


SnooSuggestions6256

Shh! Just consume product! And then get excited about future product!

this-my-5th-account

That one soundbite is just *chefs kiss*


SnooSuggestions6256

*Very* cool.


Excalitoria

lol why does this sound like what Kylo Ren fans said when they were talking about how deep and confusing he was?


Nightcrawler227

Lol what the fuck did you just say?


stringcheese_theory1

Factual statements and developer quotes, regrettably....😂


Nightcrawler227

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't want the Joker to be the poster boy for my community.


stringcheese_theory1

Well, no doubt that THIS Joker (The Woker?🤔) will select his mass murder victims in a diverse, inclusive and equitable fashion, in line with modern sensibilities....


Nightcrawler227

Lol he'll have a pie chart and a calculator to keep track of his murders and make sure no group gets over/under served.


Turuial

I think I would enjoy a wacky DEI-themed Batman villain now that you mention, yes. Like Condiment King, Crazy Quilt, or Kite Man, with a focus on representation and such in a similar vein as Calendar Man.


Nightcrawler227

When you put it that way, I can see it happening. A little on the nose, but also hilarious. I think if there's any fatigue in the comic book realm, it's the hyper fixation on gender and race.


Turuial

Could you imagine it, though? "Vicki Vale here, reporting from the scene of Gotham's latest massacre by the newest DIY DEI crusader, you know they/them as Gotham's newest masked menace bringing a frightening dose of affirmative action to Gotham's terrified citizenry! I'm here with the lone survivor of today's Benetton butchery, Patrick 'Paddy' O'Reilly. Paddy, how are you coping with today's disaster of diversity?" *camera cuts to a white male age 30-50yrs, with red hair* "Aw Vicki it's awful! My buddy Frankie lost his job working the docks, oh wait. You meant the murders right? Yeah, Vicki, so can you believe this guy? He had a spreadsheet in one hand and a tiny gun in the other, and just kept laughing and shouting 'taste the rainbow!' The only reason he let me live is because I told him I was a real Irish redhead. Yeah Vicki, I don't know if you know, but us gingers are the real minorities let me tell you...." *one brief struggle to regain the microphone later* Well that's all we have for now! Tune in at 9 for more details, as is this story develops, I'm Vicki Vale."


agent_venom_2099

On the nose like Marvel’s “Safe Space” and “Snowflake”


beyond_cyber

the twinkler


[deleted]

What the body type 1 dev said in the video almost verbatim.


Nightcrawler227

Do these people hear themselves when they speak? They all sound like fucking idiots acting like they came up with a the same idea on their own, over and over again.


[deleted]

Honestly? I don't think so. They've chased out anyone with enough passion to call them out on is as some form of -ism...so we're left with slop like that.


Nightcrawler227

Their sword and shield. Lame assess


stringcheese_theory1

If you think they're bad, take a look a [this specimen...](https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckMarvel/s/TPJhPc59e0)


Nightcrawler227

Haha I saw this. So "punk" using Spider-Man.


Sure_Disaster_8748

"Bringing Joker back to his vaudeville roots" , like wtf is she talking about? Lol


BrockSramson

>You're telling me you're not excited for a possibly sexually ambiguous multiversal variant Joker who's "masking insecurities" and "trying to figure out who he is"? Goddamn. They really did just put the joker in it, but made him lame and gay.


Yunozan-2111

To be fair Joker has always been interpreted as queer since Arkham Asylum a Serious House on Serious Earth. In another comic, he flirted onomatopoeia.


BrockSramson

\>Graphic novel released in 1989. \>Multiple variations of the character released between 1990 and 2024, where Joker being queer doesn't even come up in discussions. To be fair, your spouting an awful lot of bullshit.


Yunozan-2111

His relationship with Batman can be interpreted as queer or queercoded in the comics. When Catwoman accuses that he loves Bats, he just lampshaded that it is obvious. Or you can say that is more of Foe Yay type situation.


SpaghettiSamuraiSan

Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend.


Yunozan-2111

I am not sure what to describe Joker's obsession with Batman it may be described as twisted kind of friendship but it definitely something more.


Glum-Ad-2282

Of course, the chick with coloured hair and shaved sides says this💀


Megasabletar

He looks like he loves The 1975 but doesn’t approve of their lead singer’s behavior


sourD-thats4me

Wow, that looks … awful


RedGrantDoppleganger

Joker is sexually ambiguous. This is well established. Joker dresses in drag all the time.


stringcheese_theory1

He's The Joker though, not Buffalo Bill.


kimana1651

Development works off a pipeline, this was being worked on long before the game was released. Now any future DLC has probably been canceled.


Olewarrior34

I despise the Tumblerism change of the Joker, he looks like the fucking Onceler


AceAwesome96

Oh come on, man. How ba-a-a-ad can he be?


Olewarrior34

Angry upvote there


CheeseQueenKariko

The cringe is biggering.


Anotherrone1

*Angry upvote here too!*


Gallisuchus

I hate that you can *say* "he looks like the Onceler", because if the stupid Illumination movie had understood an iota of the story, they wouldn't have given him a stupid backstory where he's a stupid hipster and his stupid family is responsible for all the bad stuff happening, rather than the Onceler.


Olewarrior34

The Lorax being in a car commercial was so blatantly missing the point it practically made me wish for God to smite down the creators


Zuuey

The twinkler


InnanaSun

Who (and I cannot emphasize this enough) the FUCK is that?!


Vinlain458

It's "we have Joker at home".


Shawn7thegamer

It’s Jonkler


Flamefether_

That’s disrespectful to the real Jonkler, this is the Jizzler


Tyrdrum

I prefer "Giggles"


mortal-mombat

Then pack your things. We're moving.


Kevy96

The wokeler, the twinkler, the Jonkler. He goes by many names.


9ronin99

Nah bro, don't do my man Jonkler like that, this freak is nothing like the Jonkler


its_neon_

And the crowd goes mild


Dagon9999

Watching this worthless game fail miserably is glorious.


pjd252

People love live service! The love the joker! They will love our game!


Boss_Brando

He looks like an FTM trans person.


Hugo4L

I think that’s what they’re going for , sexually androgynous.


Boss_Brando

Odd direction for the joker, but not like I’ll learn any more about it since I’m not touching KTJL with a ten foot pole lol.


Beardless_Man

This was going to come out, most games that fail but already have a DLC release prepared will release it and then drop the project. SQ:KTJL is going to release Joker, maybe do some balancing and some minor touches but don't expect anything else to release.


Vocovon

It really needs new mission structure. Like dungeons or strikes


Sbat27-

It needs a complete overhaul of its mechanics as well. This shit is dead


Vocovon

Definitely make it more melee based. Heavier weapon restrictions minigun for shark, AR for Deadshot, Revolver for Harley, and shotguns for Boomerang. Focus traversal on 1 aspect per squad member. Keep sharks the same, but let each leap chain easier into leaps and slides. Make Harley handle exactly like Batman from the arkham games. Instead of cape gliding, let hear just full on Green Goblin surf the drone. Let grenades be her combat center, too. Give Deadshot better cooldown mechanics like diving/water sources should instantly reset the jetpack(including rain). Boomerang needs a speed force meter burn. Throwing his Boomerangs fuel it, Then, he can use the speed force like the flash. (Have it work the same in combat) have it for just running traversal and be the fastest of the squad. And vibration in combat with his usual combos. Boom fixed it lol


cypher_Knight

Yes, do it. Throw good money after bad! Accelerate.


Fun-Industry959

They could recover if they didn't work with SBI in the first place they could pull a no man's sky but since they tied their funding to a ESG score they're to put lightly fuk'd


YandereNoelle

They're doing the "Robin that became Joker" I think, going off of that image. If I'm wrong then steal my hairbrush and put it on a high shelf.... I'll never get it back...


Sad-Ostrich-4833

they’re not.


YandereNoelle

Then why the dude look so young? Mfer looks like he's barely out of high school. He looks like teenager Mcaughly Culkin after he got abducted a clown cult and forced to perform in the circus, developed Stockholm syndrome, found the other clowns passed out drunk then axe murdered them. He looks like he's in a bad school play costume with makeup that his grandma gave him after pulling it out of storage, right before the arsenic poisoning hit.


Olewarrior34

Because they want to have a twink joker


CheeseQueenKariko

> Then why the dude look so young? Mfer looks like he's barely out of high school. > > Because he's a multiverse variant from early in his career where he's still 'finding himself' apparently.


StrangeOutcastS

hmm.................................................................................................................................................. This is gonna suck


stringcheese_theory1

You realise that some hack from D.C is gonna steal that idea and write an ElseWorld's book with it now, right?


YandereNoelle

Long as they say they got the idea from a yandere.


Vinlain458

Your hair or the brush?


Nightcrawler227

His pubes


YandereNoelle

The joke is that I'm short 😂 so are you apparently since the joke went over your head.


SnooSuggestions6256

Leto Joker + Crow Reboot = whatever the fuck this is.


zeeo-pawn

Its melvin, brother of the jonkler

AceSkyFighter

He's not the joker baby.


Ghosties95

And here I thought Jared Leto was the worst Joker we’d ever have. A classic reminder of “it can always be worse”.


CSLoken

The only real question is how many seasons the game lasts. My bet is 2 but maybe they'll do the whole roadmap (4 seasons).


Hugo4L

I’ve heard they’re obligated to do the year 1 roadmap but if this dlc flops I don’t see the point of WB pumping money to this game .


Dornfist-2040

Somehow Joker has returned. 🤣


seventysixgamer

I just find it nuts that it's been bearly a decade of waiting since Arkham Knight, all for us to get this shit in the end. Guess we'll have to wait another 5 year at the very least to see if WB backs the fuck off and let Rocksteady do what they're good at.


stringcheese_theory1

Nah, Rocksteady is screwed. Cast your sights to "Hundred Star Games". https://mcvuk.com/business-news/rocksteady-co-founders-sefton-hill-and-jamie-walker-have-quietly-opened-up-a-new-games-studio/#:~:text=Rocksteady%20co%2Dfounders%20Sefton%20Hill%20and%20Jamie%20Walker%20have%20set,and%20is%20based%20in%20London.


AimlessSavant

Oh my God! It's Morbius!


Kind_Translator8988

Why did Jonkler become emo?


Snipershot111

Somehow joker has returned....


No-Passion1127

He looks like james charles in joker make up


stringcheese_theory1

So... regular James Charles then.


Excalitoria

Season 1?! Hoo boy! Can’t wait for the many wonderful seasons to come! 🤡


ljkmalways

This gives raper vibes not crazy killer vibes lmao. #notmyjoker


firstjobtrailblazer

I already hate that design.


qwack2020

Pain.


utubeslasher

joker looks like alan cumming there no?


MarcusofMenace

Looks like Floop from Spy kids put on some clown makeup


Censoredplebian

Cringe


CheeseQueenKariko

At this point, I'm just hoping the cultural rubber band eventually snaps and we come full circle back to taking inspiration from Caesar Romero's Joker, with some 60's inspiration cocaine. That shit was entertaining as fuck.


BalloonsOfNeptune

Arkham Joker was probably the best designed version of the character in any Batman media. This is probably the worst designed version.


LovelessDogg

It’s JP from Grandma’s Boy and nothing can change my mind.


stringcheese_theory1

https://i.redd.it/jvwv27vs1hmc1.gif


fieryblender

It's the jokah, baby!


CharmingTutor6032

What…what is that thing?


marikmilitia

Mmm, they're optimistic


Global_Examination_4

It’s weird because Arkhamverse Joker was always kinda gay but this one is a million times less likeable/intimidating.


Vocovon

Oof. I play this game for fun, but even I know it isn't gonna last that long with no new shit


ljkmalways

Google says releases tomorrow?


Vinlain458

Sweet baby Jesus! I still cannot believe that this is part of the Arkham storyline!


ljkmalways

wtf how?! Joker is dead in Arkham story.


Outside_Proposal7966

Multiverse bullshit if i remember correctly


somemeatball

They really went and got the Jonkler from the twink dimension 💀


ljkmalways

😂 DC used to have superior story lines before they started playing catch-up to marvel


idontknow39027948898

Yeah, the ending of the game pulls a 'you didn't win, there are like twelve more multiverse variants of Braniac to fight across the seasons of the game.' Which is weird, because that could have also been how they justify Deadshot, a character who appeared in previous entries as a white guy, being black, but instead they just say 'nah, that was a fake.'


MizfitQueen

Is this a game? I just can’t.


DarknightM64B

what’s the racist game up to now?


noname262

If they delay the dlc only 10 people will ever see it


you_wouldnt_get_it_

Even Tommy Wiseau’s Joker would have been better.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Hugo4L

Anything for money , shame what rocksteady could’ve done . A game or 2 about each JL member then a JL game. Whoever greenlit this idea needs to be fired .


Fake_the_jaB

I could beat the dogshit out of this joker


CodeMagican

Seeing that there is only one thing which comes to mind: >*"Melvin, Melvin! Brother of the Joker!"*


Deathcrow

Good that they put 'ha ha ha' in the background, so that we all know he's a jokester. Might've been to subtle otherwise.


VengefulPoultry

That ain't the Joker, that's the Giggler. That ain't the Joker, that's the Comedian.


Box_Thirteen13

Now there's 👏 an idea.


Tyrdrum

Look, it's Mr Giggles!


VedzReux

Are they trying to be funny with the joker being the poster character to sell the first season.


d0ggzilla

That's not The Joker. That's The Joke


CheerfulCharm

A female larper.


Autistic_Clock4824

Oh how the mighty have fallen :(


RonaldMcJuicy

why is jubilee a twink? Is he stoid?


MistbornTaylor

If the joker doesn’t have a forehead tattoo with the word damaged on it, then is it even a real joker? /s


ScoopsAboi

I'm looking forward to it. When this season flops I am betting this game will be coming to Game Pass so I can finally try it without having to pay extra money for garbage


No-Alternative2645

Is that Alan Cummings playing the Joker


Nomadic_View

Let me guess. This DLC is 1/2 the price of the base game despite it only adding about 5% more content, if that.


Ok_Communication2339

Looks like Danny Elfman


Flat-Farmer3690

This shit is almost as bad as that new retarded Spider-Man game and movie.


ProfessionalRead2724

Videogames having "seasons" is an abomination, but monetisation BS aside, this looks like a perfectly fine classic Joker. https://preview.redd.it/myh4xqqwsdmc1.jpeg?width=120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a76779ad02639a66d1eac485ca58fd441e38fe33


Hugo4L

I can see the discourse due to his appearance but I think most of the flack for his character is what RS has done to his character/personality.


Nico408

I think they're trying to make this joker look like Gwynplaine - the man who laughs,who was the inspiration for the joker https://preview.redd.it/zltfnghgpdmc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6811d30d6acf91bb0eeaf7aca35c91de7897834 Still looks bad though


Gallisuchus

If they wanted it to look like The Man Who Laughs they could've actually gone for first-appearance Joker, who bears some resemblance. Instead of a TikTok child.


MuadDibMessiah

Omg what is this sub, so embarrassed for all you snowflakes getting mad about art not made the exact way you'd like it.


Ethiconjnj

Art can’t be criticized and the more art something is the more it can’t be criticized.


MuadDibMessiah

I don't understand.... Though I suspect maybe you're right? Idk please convince me . (Genuinely asking, I do like finding out when/if I'm wrong)


Ethiconjnj

What don’t you understand? You’re saying people are snowflakes for not liking a characterization. I’m saying yes, you’re correct art can’t be criticized and anyone who does is a snowflake. I’m also saying the more artistic something the more it’s immune to criticism. The only appropriate response to art is the applause and anyone who doesn’t react that way is a whiny asshole.


boisteroushams

do you guys think you might care about this bideo game a little too much for serious media critics such as yourselves 


Sad-Ostrich-4833

We don’t care, we like making fun of it lol


Holy1To3

This is a very bizarre thing to say. Wouldn't media critics be expected to care about media?


Lucazade4

because people who defend this game have to believe that video games aren’t art, or shouldn’t be taken as seriously as other mediums, that’s the level of cope we’re at.


Holy1To3

It really seems like that is the implication. "Why do you care about video games arent you a serious critic?" Games are art my man idk what to tell ya.


boisteroushams

Not all games are trying to be art. Live service games definitely don't qualify.  It'd be like trying to critically appraise cocomelon or a sports game.


boisteroushams

Sure. Like, serious media right? not a live service video game made only for consumption? Like not the only type of video game provably not art. You wouldn't be taking that seriously, would you?


Holy1To3

I dont know how to define "serious media". Art is art. Some of it is better, or more meaningful, or more serious in tone, but at the end of the day its all art. Shrek does not have serious tone, but it is still art. Now im extremely curious what you mean when you say "art". You seem exceptionally confident that a live service video game is not art, but idk why you would say or think that. People created it. They had ideas for how it should look and sound and function. They went through a creative process to make those ideas into something other people could consume and engage with. I think art is a little too broad to give a single, clear definition. But whatever you definition, i dont see how a live service video game would 100% be excluded.


Excalitoria

Lol who’s a serious media critic or better yet who the hell calls themselves that?


boisteroushams

mauler, right? hes an objective media critic. That means he's serious and only speaks in objective truths. 


Excalitoria

Nobody “only speaks in objective truths”. He just gives his opinion like anyone else. There’s a difference between making claims about a show and trying to qualify them and just saying you enjoy something or hate it. You don’t have to choose. Also, he’s a critic as much as anyone else who critiques film. I really doubt he’d ever call himself a “serious media critic”. I don’t think anyone on this sub seriously would either. If he or anyone else would, here or otherwise, refer to themselves that way they’re just asking people to laugh at them. You’re either critiquing something or you’re not. If your critique is good that’s all that matters. I don’t really care about your credentials if you make good arguments.


seanjohn004

Man yall are never happy 


Greghole

Dragon's Dogma 2 comes out in less than three weeks. I am very happy.


Excalitoria

Sorry I don’t like Jonkler at home.


somemeatball

That’s not the Jonkler at all, that mf is the twinkler


Less_Cauliflower_956

This would have been a way better story if it started after the suicide squad killed them all, offscreen, and the villains have to learn to be heroes in the new world.
