I read a synopsis on why the joker looks the way he does in this movie and it makes sense and I don't have a problem with it.
He's different from any other Joker we've seen.
It would be boring if he ended up looking too similar to Heath Ledger's or Jack Nicholson's Jokers, so it's nice that they're doing something different. Cesar Romero's Joker is just a clown, Jack Nicholson's Joker is a mobster, Heath Ledger's Joker is an anarchist, and Jared Leto's Joker, judging by the trailer, is a sadist. I like how Jared Leto might perform a different interpretation on the Clown Prince of Crime. Despite the "grill" and tattoos, Jared Leto's Joker looks pretty creepy. He has the laugh, the crazy eyes, and the smile.
He's closer to the Joker from the comics.
Now, with everybody bitching and moaning about the tattoos, let me remind you all that Joker did have a tattoo in the comics. It was a large dragon tattoo that spreads from his back to his neck, arms, and sides. As for the metallic teeth, it's obvious that the Joker had his teeth knocked out after a brutal fight with Batman in the comics. Joker's appearance is closer to the Joker from the comics because his skin is bleached instead of being covered in make-up like Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight, and he carries no scars near his mouth. Also, there's one thing I like to point out in the trailer. I know it's too small to see, but if you look at 2:12, you can catch a glimpse of Joker with no tattoos on his face. Maybe at Arkham, Joker got tortured by the orderly by injecting him with the acid that bleached his skin. It's only a guess. According to the Batman v Superman trailer, this is the Joker that killed the second Robin, Jason Todd. Which brings to my next point...
He'll be much more brutal.
Like I said, judging by the trailer, Jared Leto's Joker is a sadist. In the trailer, Harley is being strapped on to a table and the Joker says "Oh I'm not gonna kill ya...I'm just gonna hurt ya...really, really bad." Joker probably tortured Harley so bad, it was to the point she went insane. And he killed Jason Todd. When you think about it, it's quite disturbing.
