Joker Cosplay Makes Alex Ross' God-Tier Art a Live-Action Reality
The god-tiered Jokerartwork by the incredibly talented and widely renowned artist Alex Rosscomes to life in the form of jaw-dropping cosplay. Alex Ross is known for their hyper-realistic style and amazingly detailed artwork, which consists of anything from comic covers to stand-alone pieces. One of the most iconic of their work is the image of the Joker in his tuxedo that is so perfectly crafted that it looks like a photograph. Using Ross’ vision for the Joker as a template, one person seemingly ripped the character from the page and brought him into real life in this outstanding cosplay.
Alex Ross created the vision of the Joker in his tuxedo and applied it to one of the most iconic covers in DC Comics history. That cover was for Batman: Harley Quinnby Paul Dini and Yvel Guichet. The cover depicts Harley Quinn and the Joker dancing together, a piece that is titled, “Tango With Evil” in which the Joker is shown wearing a tuxedo while Harley is depicted in her classic jester outfit. Since that cover there have been a number of variations to Alex Ross’ Joker including one piece that the artist shared on their Twitter page of the Joker standing alone presenting his signature calling card. That piece is the clear inspiration behind this cosplay, as the cosplayer is doing the same pose as the Joker in Alex Ross’ piece of shared artwork.
