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.
My issue was not knowing what they were in the first place.
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.

Doing gods work.
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.
With our powers combined no one will ever have to leave this place.
Found it!
I remember now! lol
Found it!
The important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
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
Kind of expected a garter belt and a dagger TBH
Just like Yzma.
What a joker
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.
It is the Joker, that’s still in character.
I know, just found Joker even funnier now.
Pale, but like… Swedish pale, not clown makeup pale
More tanned. Outlines are a bit fucky on this one and I had to change the building behind him a bit because it was too close to the new skin colour, but I’m not doing an effort job for this
Joker crazy in the streets and the sheets.
Wow, I always assumed he was wearing old timey spats or something lol
Probably was and overthinking an animation flub isn’t worth the effort. It’s a quick joke and they weren’t concerned that kids would freeze the frame and start questioning continuity. There’s a McFarlane figure based on the Timm design that has laces where you’d think they’d be.
They are lol, it’s just a one off joke because it’s ultimately a cartoon
If there’s any character that wouldn’t give a shit about gender roles, it’s the Joker.
He’s batsexual and nothing else matters
I see a line at the ankle, and a change between white and an ultra-pale pink, but maybe that’s just me.
updoot to cope
Please don’t type updoot, or please fuck off back to reddit with your IPO
What is even a shitpost?
oh, you were making a fun joke. sorry
I sort of see it but it could just be compression artifacts. Someone will have to do further digging.

Impressive work. I wonder how it would stack against a high definition screengrab.
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.
it also reveals that he is almost as pale as I am
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.
Dudes name is “the joker.” He ain’t fuckkn round.
He’s got nice legs, tho
