Previously, Lawrence Sullivan claimed that the clown in the "GTA6" trailer was based on him. However, some users in the comments pointed out the differences between him and the character in the trailer, including the word "IMPERTINENT" on his forehead. Some users also pointed out that Lawrence Sullivan's Joker tattoo is actually derived from the character "Joker" in DC comics. This has caused some users to question, believing that according to Lawrence Sullivan's own logic, DC Comics also has the right to sue him and demand compensation.
Lawrence Sullivan and his lawyers announced that they will give Rockstar another two days to consider whether to meet their compensation requirements, and then take legal action.
