12 Fan Character Designs Better Than What We Got

11. The Joker (Suicide Squad)

We'll stick with the DCEU for a moment as we consider perhaps the most maligned character design in the entire franchise - that of Jared Leto's Hot Topic-inspired Joker in Suicide Squad.

Whatever you make of Leto's performance, it's easy to see why many found the make-up effects overly loud and obnoxious, to say nothing of his tacky, gangster-inspired clothing which seemed to veer away from the classic conception of the supervillain "just because."

But enter legendary fan artist Bosslogic, who offered up a vastly superior interpretation of Leto as The Joker before cameras had even started rolling on the movie.

This is a case of simplicity proving the key to success - taking Leto's punk-rock persona and melding it with the traditional Joker aesthetic makes for an effortless winner. It's just different enough from previous Jokers, but still recognisably in the same wheelhouse.
