Warner Bros. Reportedly Bans Diddy From Dressing As The Joker
Diddy reveals that he’s been banned from dressing up as the Joker because his costume last year was too realistic.
During a guest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the hip-hop mogul discussed the letter he received from Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. that effectively demands he not dress up as the superhero villain for Halloween again.

The situation began when Diddy wore a very convincing Joker costume for Halloween last year. His impersonation was so spot-on that it allegedly infringed on Warner’s trademark of the character. Shocked by the issue, he mentioned on the show, "Last year I was the Joker, and I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker because they said it broke their trademark that I did it too good, I swear. I have this letter from Warner Brothers."
The letter’s contents were not disclosed, but the incident highlighted how serious Warner Bros. is about its intellectual property, even if it’s a simple Halloween costume.
