8 Ways Jared Leto's Joker Is Already The Worst Version Of The Character

4. The Token Purple Glove

Green hair, red smile, white skin, purple clothes; they're the four physical things the Joker needs, no debate. And while Leto's technically ticks all of those boxes (albeit with the lips suffering from a BvS-inspired darkness), the glove feels like an afterthought, thrown on at the last minute when they realised they'd forgotten to include anything purple. Probably because it was an afterthought. Compared to the rest of the vision for this Joker, the glove sticks out massively - it doesn't belong with that character beyond pure and fan pleasing. That kinda sums up the whole problem with the approach here - it's name-checking a lot of the Joker's history, but the sum of all those parts just isn't Mr. J. It also looks like a marigold glove. That's not as big an issue as the above, but still an odd costume choice.
