Indeed, Leto’s Joker was just… damaged.
Joker in comics is also a mixed bag. I haven’t read 'em myself but when I see this every now and then, I’m not sure I want to know what’s going on

From the perspective of someone who has literally never read a superhero comic, Jared Leto’s version of Joker was fine. Not good, not bad, but “fine”. It wasn’t any more or less offensive than most of the other versions of the character I’ve had to sit through (and I am VERY tired of the Joker, to be honest…I didn’t even bother to see the last one and likely won’t bother to see its sequel). Leto was a bit of a departure from previous versions, sure, but not having the comic book background to draw on, I saw nothing wrong with it.

Agree with the comments about Leto. I don’t think his was the worst, but certainly the worst of those listed there. Brent Spiner’s on Young Justice was probably the worst. I feel like Leto didn’t really get a chance to shine, because that movie wasn’t so much edited as it was hacked up with a chainsaw. I saw a potential behind what was shown, and a little more in the extended cut that confirmed that suspicion, and he got to do a little more in the Snyder Cut. But, I think his just ended up being worst by default due to being so cut from the film.
I dabble in comics but, with superheroes in particular, it’s too hard to keep up a lot of the time. It’s so hard, even the writers can’t do it after about 5-10 years. That’s what all those multiverse shattering events are for; blowing everything up and starting over (only to muck it all up again eventually), making a ton of money in the process.
As for “Joe” there? IIRC, he had his own face cut off (for some reason) and he was going around forcing everyone to do the same? 
Maybe it was an anti-drug PSA…?
That’s probably true, and more than a little fair, but a lot of Leto’s Joker feels forced and/or unsure of its direction. All the others come across not only far more naturally and smoothly but all of them set out only to be the best versions of themselves in their universes. Leto, at least partially, seems to make it a point to emulate and, more importantly, surpass those that came before him.
Arguably no Joker will fit in so well in anything other than their film/time/era, whether or not their movie was hacked to bits in post, but Leto never really seemed to decide what he wanted his to be. I couldn’t imagine Nicholson versus Bale, for example, I’m not confident Arthur Fleck would survive a confrontation with any on screen Batman (even Adam West) and I’m sure “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” will be at his best opposite Battinson. Though, of course, the fact that Leto’s initial appearance was so mutilated by production certainly and definitely didn’t help his case.

Francesca De Santia, Penelope Graves, Yuki Yamazaki, Andrea Martinez, Ljudmila Vetrova, and Imogen Royce don’t make the cut because their presentations in the game don’t really come across as dangerous and ruthless as their bios imply they can be. These other ladies fit their descriptions perfectly, however. So, who’s the baddest of them, by any definition of that word that you want?
Dude, you cannae be serious can ye. How can one have a wife yet still post stuff like this online

I don’t know about De Santis. When at the phone, she is trying to convince the other side that Caruso must be eliminated, and she even suggests the way to do it.

But she sounds more timid and hesitant about it than her bio suggests she would be, which makes her sound utterly cutthroat.

I don’t know if this is too political for forum rules, but I’m not asking for justifications, just who thinks it’s who. These are the top two that are suspected due to what they have to lose/gain, so between them, who do you suspect/think is more likely?
Giuliani (accidentally)

Mar-a-Lago is Donald Trump’s resort and residence in Florida. It’s the place the FBI raided a couple of weeks ago looking for classified material that should no longer be in Trump’s possession, including nuclear secrets. It’s believed that someone very close to Trump leaked the information that allowed the FBI to obtain a search warrant.

Its’s still pending. They’re sorting through it all, but the thing is there are at least three different crimes involved here, one of which the FBI/DOJ can prove just from the fact that they had to go get the documents themselves (obstruction of justice), one of which can be proven by what’s on the documents (the Espionage Act), and one that he’s openly admitted his guilt in by saying that he knowingly took the documents because he considered them his and not the government’s and that he wanted to use them for “his presidential library” (the Presidential Records Act). Unlike every other time, these violations are so serious, it’s so plain that he did them, and the only lawyers that are willing to work with him are so out of their depth and incompetent, that if anything is ever gonna get him, this is the incident that appears closest to success. He and all of his followers are scared, because they’re caught in a corner and they know it.
Fixed it for you. 
TL;DR,
He really fucked up this time, law enforcement is not backing off despite all the threats, and he doesn’t know what to do.

With Thailand I had to extrapolate what’s i believe is in the level otherwise it’s not on the list. For example I assumed there is a pool and a spa etc. For Dubai it’s easy to assume those things exist on another floor. Probably even more than 1. In Thailand the couple saying “they locked the lounge off” should really be saying “there isn’t anything to do here except drink.”

There’s a fairly large beach that 47 can’t access but can look at. Do they really need a pool too? On that note, however, I think there’s only like a dozen total rooms. Surely there would be MUCH more than that…
Same with places like Hokkaido; there HAS to be more than four rooms. (Or SOMEWHERE for the less important/VIP patients to stay)
Luckily, IO only has to give the illusion of grandeur (not to mention functionality) and I think they generally succeed in that in most levels.

A luxurious hotel in a hot and humid country? Yeah, I´d say they definitely need a pool. Especially since the river is hardly a swimming spot, even if it was accessible. Like Yacob mentions, the place is basically one big restaurant/bar. Hokkaido and Haven at least have the expected recreational facilities.
People to rooms ratio is weird though, definitely.
