The original Injustice game, Gods Among Us, is a fighting game that features super heroes from a number of franchises like Batman, Superman and so on.
Think of it like Mortal Kombat, only instead of ripping the head off Scorpion, you’re beating the living shit out of the Joker.
Speaking of the Joker, he’s actually meant to be dead. He died in the last game.
But guess what? He’s been announced for the Injustice 2 roster with a fresh new redesign and you better believe people on the internet have some thoughts about it.

Some are comparing the bung Joker to Jared Leto‘s take on the character in Suicide Squad.
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.”

Others reckon he looks completely half-assed.
Can someone explain why the Joker in the Injustice 2 look like a blue-collared cosplayer who spends his time accounting and reading comics?

And some just want the old joker back, god dammit.
I gotta be honest, I do love the classic Joker design more than this newer edgier Joker. I thought the Injustice 1 Joker looked perfect.
