In an attempt to create a new meme to share, someone took this 2012 Comic-Con cosplay and added the standard Impact text over it: "Steampunk, Gender swapped Joker, in a Willy Wonka hat...Congratulations, you've made 'trying too hard' into an art form."
Subsequently, this person was called out on their bullshit, as it turns out that this cosplay is NOT a random mix of stuff, but rather Duela Dent, a character from DC Comics that has in the past referred to herself as "Joker's Daughter" (though the validity of that is in question and I personally hope they never give Joker an offspring....unless maybe it's through Harley Quinn).
Us geeks pay much more attention to detail than fans of other forms of entertainment and getting something like this wrong is like a black mark on your credibility badge of honor in a culture that thrives on remembering trivia. Tisk tisk. Nice cosplay!
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF COOL COSPLAYS OUT THERE?
