The character visuals for Joker and Harley Quinn have been released on the film's official website. Those who have watched the original movie will notice that the outfits in the sequel are drastically different. The first movie was set in feudal Japan, which isn't the case for the new movie. Its trailer gave viewers a glimpse into the setting, which was different than that of the 2018 film.

The visuals show Joker in a purple-colored trenchcoat that says “Moody Clown” and “Laughing Aristocrat." He also has a hat attached to his coat with a string and is sporting a Pompadour hairstyle. The outfit and hairstyle are quite similar to the infamous gangsters in Japan.

Harley Quinn’s character visual in Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League shows her in a long skirt, which seems to be an extension of a school uniform. She is squatting down next to Joker while holding a baseball bat studded with metal nails. She also has a mask that follows a minimal design language. Overall, both characters have incredible screen presence.
