There are lots of shots of Jared Leto's new Joker, though not a great deal of it feels particularly new. It's more like an opportunity to spend more time in his company and feel creeped out. For instance, there's more of a look at him during his torture scene...

And another look at him leading whatever heist we're going to see. The question is just how these sequences tie in with the rest of the film.

We also get the Joker in his gold-walled club (where he has Harley dancing for patrons, as per the first trailer): he definitely has a mobster feel about him. So presumably he's borrowing something of Penguin's backstory in the comics as well as what we've seen of Joker as a club owner too.

That garish gold jewlery is the perfect crowning detail to his look. Even though he's a freak, he's definitely believable as a gang leader.

Plus there's a shot of Joker in his car, with Harley alongside him
