Fans reckon Diddy won Halloween with Batman costume after doing the Joker last year
His Joker was incredible in 2022 but he has really upped the ante for 2023.

If Heidi Klum is the Queen of Halloween then it appears Diddy is emerging as the King.
People were understandably blown away by the rapper and producer's Joker costume last year.
He dressed up as Heath Ledger's incarnation of the DC supervillain and walked through the streets very much in character.
But, it seems like that outfit ruffled a few feathers at Warner Bros.

The 53-year-old posted a video to Instagram where he alleged the studio sent him a cease and desist letter.
“Last year, I got a bunch of emails from the studio telling me not to be the Joker anymore, that I was breaching the trademark,” Diddy explained in the clip.
“You win. I’m not going to be the Joker this year.”
So he did what anyone would do when threatened to not touch intellectual property from the Batman universe.
He dressed as Batman.
Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, went all out for the production of his presentation as the Caped Crusader.
He posted a new video of him sitting on top of a replica of the Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy.
The rapper was also in a room that looked very similar to Christian Bale's headquarters from The Dark Knight.
Fans could not believe their eyes when they saw the outfit and the production value.
"After being banned from dressing up as the Joker again by Warner Bros, seems like Diddy just won Halloween again as Batman. The Darkest Knight... this that rich s**t for real," said one fan.
Another added: "Diddy really trolled Warner bros by wearing a Batman costume for Halloween after getting a cease & desist letter over his joker costume last year."
A third wrote: "Diddy don’t miss on Halloween."
In his video pretending to be Batman, Diddy invades the office of an Oscar-winning studio executive and demands that the actors strike end.
The executive is seen at the end of the clip stripped of his clothes and left unconscious in front of an office building.
Diddy's Batman leaves a sign with the staffer that says: “The strike is over! Love, The Darkest Knight.”
UNILAD has reached out to Warner Bros. for comment on Diddy's claims he was sent a cease and desist letter.
