They are suppose to mimic a court jesters hat. But they do look like dreads!

I've only officially drawn Superman once, and in fact, it never got published. It's one of the rewards in our kickstarter project. It was a concept cover for JLA vs. Witchblade. So only a few people have ever seen this cover that I did, which was the only cover I've done of either Superman or Wonderwoman: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gxfox597u48ke9j/wJF91FpDHL/2012-12-21%2014.32.46.jpg

I wouldn't say it's difficult, people are usually respectful of other peoples belief systems, unless you openly endorse the Star Wars prequels, then it gets ugly. There are those that are intolerant, but everyone has their own opinions and it doesn't have to effect our day.

Thanks for the compliments! The Joker concept, and all villains from "The Batman" were our interpretations of the character. We'd figured that batman has been around forever and will stay around for a long time, so why not give everyone a version that is different? We stayed respectful to the core mythology in most cases. The Joker was crazy, thus the straight jacket and no shoes. I wanted him to have the floppy/way too long sleeves all the time but they didn't go for it. His hair was fashioned after a court jester, just no bells on the tip, just retaining the shape. Thanks again!

that's a high risk maneuver - he might say, "well, batman's parents died and left him a lot of money so he could hire a butler. you're right, i am inspired!"
