"OPTION #1: JOE’S GARAGEWe should start off by saying that if you’re expecting a cosplay tutorial, you’re probably going to be disappointed. We love cosplayers, but unfortunately, aren’t very good at it ourselves. Rather, we’re just going to lay out everything you need to assemble a solid Joker Halloween costume. We doubt you’ll take home any prizes at the Comic-Con Masquerade, but you may win your office costume contest.The “Joe’s Garage” option is actually pretty simple and straightforward, and you may already have some of the components lying around your house.OPTION #2: DRESSED TO KILLThis is much closer to the traditional Joker look that fans are familiar with. However, in “Death of the Family,” the Joker really only wears it for the final showdown. This one’s going to be more of a challenge to pull together, but comes with the added advantage of being more recognizable to casual fans and could also serve as the basis for a more standard Joker costume (minus the mask)."
You can read the full article, detailing both the Joe’s Garage look and Joker’s classic purple suit as well, here. Well I probably won’t be putting together my own New 52 Joker cosplay because 1) I’m a woman, and 2) I’m not the biggest fan of the Joker’s new look, wearing his face as a mask and all that. But I am sorely tempted to buy the BATMAN: DEATH OF THE FAMILY BOOK AND JOKER MASK SET.
