Hmm, now this layout I very much like.
Foremost, the coloration stands out. The use of complimentary yellow of his cuffs and shirt resonate with his pale face and yellowed teeth - this is balanced by the second major coloration in the picture, purple, and it's dark shades and lurking shadows. Moreover, the pinstripes draw a particular attention to the Joker's form, add presence, and make him seem like the shining heart of madness here. The dead, angular gray of his gun is also rather more of a joke in itself, something deceptively flat and so common, as to not be paid full attention. It's like a dichotomy, meant to deceive.
His pose is the other factor: he seems in mid-motion, with his pointing hand taking on an outward, nearly graceful curve. It's pointed, directing nature is on par with the Joker's mad expression, as if to accentuate the driven insanity he has.
In short, your work is steadily improving. Excellent, Geno.
