@@ivantheterrible2594 Spats are white [or other light material] that where worn over shoes. They were common in late 19th and early 20 the century, amongst the rich and well to do to protect their shoes from the mud and grime of the city streets. They are often synonymous with 'mob' or 'gangster' attire of the 20's and 30's.

I also want to take a moment to honor Harley's voice actress Arleen Sorkin who passed away on August 24th, 2023. Without her, we would have never had the cute, energetic, and mentally insane character that we have grown to love and occasionally sympathize over the years. Let's offer our condolences to her beloved Joker aka "Puddin' "

Both Ledger and Nicholson neither have the body or the right face for the Joker. Neither do Leto or Hamill. But all of them did something right with the character. I like them all.
