That particular issue ended with him splitting his tongue in half with a razor blade, making it seem as though he had a serpent's tongue on top of his new personality and mannerisms.

I've always liked that idea, as well as the New 52 DCC Joker figure itself too - so much, in fact, that I have both the blue and orange versions. Didn't set out to get both, but ended up with them all the same. I just wish the articulation was a little better, but I do like the "slasher movie icon" look in general. It is what it is: a temporary reinvention of a popular character. I can't blame anyone who doesn't like it, though. It is very weird.

A character calling herself The Joker's Daughter now wears his face as a mask after his disappearance. She's a part of the Suicide Squad with Harley Quinn.

Thanks for clarifying that, still not crazy about the new 52 take. I don't generally care for reboots to begin with. Yeah it gets hard to keep up with everything on this big timeline, but to scrap it all just to make a grab for attention is unnecessary and confusing to many readers. Just before the reboot I was pretty into the Gail Simone secret six series and I got hyped for what Bane was about to do to Gotham, aaand it rebooted.
