“Homie is the joker in my eyes”: Fans react as Diddy dresses as Batman for Halloween after Warner Brothers’ cease and desist

After receiving a "cease and desist" legal notice for his 2022 Joker Halloween costume from Warner Bros, Diddy got into Batman's suit for Halloween this year. His bold move has left fans wondering if Diddy meant to take a dig at Warner Bros for last year's legal notice. On an Instagram post, a fan commented, "Homie is the joker in my eyes."

Last year, Diddy went on masquerading in LA in the Joker costume. He pranked a lot of people who didn't believe that it was the HipHop Mogul.

Before revealing his Halloween Batman costume, the rapper turned entrepreneur made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he went on to mention that Warner Bros sent him a legal notice last year for his spot-on resemblance to the character Joker. He went on to say,

"Last year I was the Joker and I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker. … They said it broke their trademark, that I did it too good. I swear I have this letter. I swear to god. From Warner Bros."

He then added:

"Warner Brothers lawyers, can you see me? Put this camera on me right here. Head of legal, tomorrow, watch what I do."

He further continued:

“I got a bunch of emails from the studio telling me to not be the Joker anymore, that I was breaching the trademark. So I don't know what I’m going to be this year.”

The rapper also refers to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike with his Batman costume. In the hypothetical video he posted on Instagram revealing his Batman outfit, he can be seen reading the news that the strike has finally ended. The strike had issued orders before the spooky season asking actors not to dress up as characters from struck films.
