Stereotypes In The Joker
Fans are already geared up for Suicide Squad. Their fascination toward Margot Robbie's character is obvious because of her attitude but one of the biggest and most interesting character may just well be Jared Leto's The Joker.

Several images have already been released showing The Joker in Suicide Squad. Many know The Joker to be always dressed up, such as in the older movie versions, the comics and the animated series. But when Jared Leto posed without a shirt, The Joker was revealed to have tattoos on his body. On his right arm, a tattoo of a devious smile can be seen. Repeated "HAHAHAs" are written on his left and extends to his chest on the left side. His right chest shows a skull wearing a jester's hat.

These are the most obvious strange tattoos that are covering his body. Director David Ayer says that the tattoos are there for a reason. According to reports, they're supposed to tell a story. "The tattoos tell a very specific story," says Ayer. He goes on to say that people will soon figure out what they mean and understand what is going on in the movie. "But obviously they're conentious, any time you do something new it's contentious," he added.

    Take a look again at high school stereotypes through the short lived television series from the late 90’s, Freaks and Geeks. Based on the pilot episode of Freaks and Geeks, media techniques are used effectively to depict the different stereotypes in high school. The camera shots & movements are used adequately to show the power of the bullies and the weakness of the victims. For example, when Sam Weir is approached by Alan (the bully), at lunch, the camera is pointed upwards towards Alan’s face to make him seem bigger and scarier while the camera would be pointed down on Sam’s face making him seem smaller and inferior to Alan (Kasdan 1999). This example…

    The Joker displays qualities of the new type of villain authors/ directors like to use. The Joker’s method of terrorizing people is very strange. None of his actions are explained, which makes him incredibly mysterious. One example of his strangeness is his scars on the sides of his mouth. Each time he tells a different story of how he got them. He is a stock character, meaning there was no information on his origins, we, the audience, just knew what kind of character he was…obviously, completely insane. The Joker’s ways of attack are very strategic and clever. You, as the audience, never know what he will do next and whatever he does, he always makes you jump. His way of life is that with rules, life is boring.…

You just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible, aren’t you? Huh? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun.

    The Joker was right about one thing throughout the movie: People often find themselves constantly changing their morals for what is right and wrong. They cannot seem to agree on the same thing in their society. This is because some people follow the rules that society tells them to follow, and others do things that will benefit themselves despite what society says, like the Joker. Because some people cannot explain why they should do something, many start doing things that will affect them personally. C.S Lewis mentions…

    Let’s start by picking your brain for a moment. If I were to ask you what your opinions were towards tattooing, what would your answer be? You may be surprised to know that within our society today, regardless of what your answer was, we could assume that people are divided based on each alternating view of tattoos. Some bring a more stereotypical view in that tattoos may pose a negative factor when trying to land that perfect job. Perhaps that it may symbolize that they are part of a gang, a “biker” if you will, maybe a criminal or part of a lower class in society? (Proehl 2004) Tattooing may also instill fear…

    In contemporary comedy, comedians usually use their own identity to produce jokes that either emphasize or challenge stereotypes projected onto them. Sampson McCormick says that “[Disclosing my sexuality on stage] allowed me to finally create material from an authentic point of view,” (par 1) this emphasizes the fact that by introducing new identities to the realm of comedy, the horizon of funny and coverable material increases drastically. If women, LGBT community members and other minorities (when compared to the heterosexual white male) are cut off from performing, we lose some genius comedic minds because venues and shows “Just don’t think [their] viewers are ready for that,” (par 5). These exact and diverse comedic minds are revolutionary…

    Designers improved on the design of the Batsuit from Batman Begins, adding wide elastic banding to help bind the costume to Bale, and suggest more sophisticated technology. It was constructed from 200 individual pieces of rubber, fiberglass, metallic mesh, and nylon. The new cowl was modeled after a motorcycle helmet and separated from the neck piece, allowing Bale to turn his head left and right and nod up and down.[103] The cowl is equipped to show white lenses over the eyes when the character turns on his sonardetection, which gives Batman the white eyed look from the comics and animation.[104] The gauntlets have retractable razors which can be fired.[103] Though the new costume is eight pounds heavier, Bale found it more comfortable and less hot to wear.[17] The depiction of Gotham City is less gritty than in Batman Begins.…
