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.
Injustice 2's Joker looks like the result of a memo saying, "Edgy Jared-Leto-esque redesign, but pretend you're doing it in 1998."

The Joker from Injustice 2 looks like a Jared Leto inspired hairdresser from Queens who only enjoys drinking locally sourced beer

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

For the record, there is NOTHING wrong with the following:
Why is the Joker in Injustice 2 dressed like he's going to a Prince concert?#injustice #dccomics #TheJoker #Batman

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):

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