Highlights
Diddy was banned from being the Joker for Halloween last year, so he transformed into Batman as he arrived at Halloween party in a Batmobile this Halloween.

Last Halloween, Diddy wowed fans with an impeccable Joker costume, but it seems Warner Bros. wasn't too thrilled. This year, he defiantly transformed into Batman.

The studio issued a letter forbidding Diddy from reprising the role, claiming it infringed on their trademark. 

Diddy revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, "I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker... They said it broke their trademark, that I did it too good."

Undeterred, Diddy vowed to push boundaries once again, declaring, "Tomorrow, watch what I do." 

True to his word, he returned with a vengeance this Halloween, sharing a high-production video where he transformed into Batman, aptly dubbing himself "The Darkest Knight."

In the video, Diddy's Batman confronts a studio executive, demanding an end to an ongoing actors' strike. 

While Diddy may not have reprised his iconic Joker look this year, his transformation into the Caped Crusader is a testament to his creativity and dedication to delivering memorable Halloween experiences for his fans.
