There's obviously been a lot of speculation by fans as to whether the tattoos were just for the 75th anniversary pic or if they are for the movie. After yesterdays leak of a scene between Joker and Harley, it appeared as though the tattoos weren't present. Butttt that's just because the pictures were far away. Here's more pictures from the scene yesterday..
Now I know the world probably just ended for some of you overly dramatic types, but I'll try to put my parenting hat on again and tell you to just wait until we see more from the character. I'm not a fan of the tattoos either, but Leto's an amazing actor, and I don't think anyone out there right now is better suited to play the Joker.
I read an interesting theory behind the tattoos that I'd like to share as well. Since this scene appears to be a flashback, and Harley might still be Harleen, it's possible that she didn't actually give him the tattoos. That's a little weird because that would mean Joker probably did them himself, and that he is incredibly self aware. The theory I read though, states that maybe Joker's psyche is so far gone, that he has resulted in becoming a parody of his own self. Personally, I think that sounds pretty awesome. But we have no idea yet what direction the character is going to be taken in. I just wanted to report to you, that tats are here to stay.
