I hope all of his special moves are different inputs than they were in Inj2 just to fuck with the joker mains.

Welcome to sub zero. Couldn't just keep ice ball on DF3 could you?

I'll be so disappointed if he's just an Injustice port. The cane gives me hope that he'll have reworked normals. I'm not opposed to him having some of his Injustice specials, but I really hope they're the minority

Didn't play him in INJ2 (I played his S/O. Or I guess his ex in this case?), but I really hope he is completely different in this game. Maybe a few similar specials or strings, but I hope he isn't an Injustice legacy character. NRS better go all out here and make him the M rated twisted serial killer Joker that he is in some of the comics. Crowbar beatdown brutality, victory pose on a pile of baby dolls, tearing his own face off, all that stuff.

But should chattering teeth stay the character? Would he more improved if they made him more traditional?

I was never big on Injustice Franchise but love Joker. To me he looks like a cross between Suicide squad's Joker and Heath Ledger's facepaint.
He looks cool to me.

As for him being in MK11 I'm absolutely hyped. NRS giving me goosebumps and characters I didn't even know I wanted.
I think he fits very well in the MK universe. Psyched to see the "M Rated" version of Joker.
He looks wicked AF and I hope he is a mentally deranged psychopath in this game.

I hope he has moves that make him unique in MK11 including his teeth chatter move, extra range from cane on attacks and fast advancing mids so he isn't bottom tier in this game. He was the only character I used in Injustice 2 so as you can imagine I'm very excited to see his gameplay and intro dialogues.

It is my hope that as we are in MK we can see Joker go full R Rated... The sucky thing about Injustice is that it has strict codes it needs to adhere to for the IP. This is what lead to "heroic brutalities" in MKvDC.... but in MK11... the Joker can do whatever the fuck he wants ... so I am really hoping that they change him up.. maybe make his move simular to Injustice... I think that is required.. but I want them to be MUCH more brutal and he better have a dope FB and Fatalities!!

MK11 Joker is Joker-Unchained!

In terms of the tone, they do need to embrace the M rated aspect of the game. This is a rare opportunity for the character to be in an M-rated setting without the chains of normal DC standards. If they aren't going balls to the wall, this wasn't worth it. He needs to be vicious af and that needs to be seen in his moveset. I feel like we know he belongs but some people are skeptical still. I still want his gameplay to involve the chattering teeth but I think we need to add a bit more aggression to his character. In Injustice, all of his MU's are cat and mouse with Joker being the mouse. I think we need to add aggression and lots of it

I'm a huge fan of DC with Joker being my favorite villian. I read the leaks and thought Joker might be a stand in name for Batman Who Laughs. Since it is Joker the only things I'm hoping for is a revamped moveset, Mark Hamill voicing him, and a Fatality involving Joker Toxin.

Fatality: Joker sprays toxin in the opponents face causing the opponent to laugh uncontrollably before his/her face melts, eyes popping out.

I'm already psyched to see the Joker movie, which is also going for a hard R, so this is just icing on the Joker cake.

Joker FB or Fatality (Smile): Joker pulls out a knife and gives the opponent a Glasgow Smile (the scars Heath Ledger had in The Dark Knight) before pulling out a gun and shooting the opponent between the eyes.

In a weird way, theatrics are as important as his moveset, especially with the community being surprisingly hostile

Now that I've recovered from my shock.

Go full M rated with this guy. Some of the most messed up, not family friendly Batman comic issues involve the Clown Prince of Crime. When he attacks people should Bleed with a capital B.

I imagine Joker will have his gas canisters. Why else would they remove Erron Black's sand grenades that he had in MKX?

Hopefully they don't just lazily rehash his MKvsDC fatality(which was then given to Shang Tsung in MK9). Make it a brutality instead. Maybe they can also give him a brutality where he uses his joy buzzer and fries his opponent into a charred corpse like he did to the mobster in Batman 89. They could refer to that particular incident by calling it "I'm glad you're dead" or "Hot under the collar".
