      I think the issue is that none of those run up to mid thigh, lol. :)

        I don’t think they’re implying that he is wearing those, it’s just a reference photo for anyone who doesn’t know what spatz are.

          Yeah I had always assumed they were socks worn inside the shoes but now I have to accept that such a weird piece of clothing exists

            I have to admit, I thought I knew what they were, but I thought they were part of the shoe, not a separate piece.

    Their intended practical purpose was to protect shoes and socks from mud or rain, but they also served as a feature of stylish dress in accordance with the fashions of the period.

    Increased informality may have been the primary reason for the decline in the wearing of spats.

    A revival of high-top shoes with cloth uppers was forecast to replace them.

    Seems about right for the joker. Don’t get me wrong should still be a knife or something in the pump, but seems about right

    Took me a minute to understand. Someone should recolor the Joker with a non-pale skin color to show how it looks because in my head it looks funny this mobster looking-guy showing up making threats with women’s shoes.

    If there’s any character that wouldn’t give a shit about gender roles, it’s the Joker.

    I see a line at the ankle, and a change between white and an ultra-pale pink, but maybe that’s just me.

    The more you look at it, the weirder it gets. Like his legs looks way to thin for his size, or how tiny his feet are compared to his hands.

    Or how gigantic that fire hydrant is

      The animation was originally a female character, they just put the Joker over it.

      Back in those days, a lot of animations were reused, especially cartoons. Certain movements could be seen hundreds of places.

      I’d call myself a day walker, but technically I burn in sunlight.

    Not the entire animated series.

    We can only confirm he wore them in one part of one episode … on one leg.
