If Joker looked like that i'd be very upset. That would be taking it just a tad too far.

I agree with ya. I was just using that pic as an example to some degree. Mainly because it's more on the scary side as far as looks go, not campy. I wouldn't expect Joker to look exactly like that because that pic simply doesn't scream Joker to me either.

There is somewhat of a spoiler on today's news about a scene being filmed in Chicago.

And here's an update about The Joker's look.

More on The Joker's (possible) look for TDK. A good friend -- who is also one of those "industry insiders" -- told BOF today that the earlier report on The Joker's look sounds "...about right. I know they want to do something different. I've also heard that The Joker from THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS could have a big influence on how he [TDK's Joker] ends up looking."

Re: Batman 2 Discussion

My buddy works on the movie here in Chicago and he has seen the photos of Heath in costume and he says it's very creepy. He said that he does have makeup on and that the joker looks as if he applied it himself very sloppily i.e. smeared lipstick which spreads to his cheek and other creepy lookin makeup.

I have read the call sheet and have seen a script of this film and I can say that it's shapin up nicely.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!!!


"Ledger's clown mask looked -- at least from a distance -- more like a 'skull' than that of a clown. However, it did seem to have a tiny tuft of hair at the top and the mouth may have been a smile. Regardless, it didn't seem in any way to appear 'cartoony.'

As to his wardrobe, he appeared to be wearing what could be described as a dark workman's jacket and work pants. Nothing at all flashy.

By no means do I have any knowledge of the process of film making, but I just don't understand as to why Nolan would have Ledger do those scenes wearing the clown mask. I would guess that he'd have his stand-in do all that stuff I described earlier and then bring in Ledger for 'The Joker reveal.' But, what the hell do I know? I'm also surprised that Nolan does all the 2nd Unit stuff too."


I’ve got to admit that I can’t wait to see what Heath’s Joker will look like. BTW, I did suggest to my friends at Warner Bros. that it was a matter of time before someone snaps some crappy-looking pic of Ledger in costume and it gets loose online. If it were me, I’d release a controlled publicity shot and beat ‘em to the punch.

I agree. WB needs to put out some kind of teaser pic of the Joker before someone snaps a crappy photo. I'm going to keep an open mind on this as I thought the appearance of Joker was kinda cool in TDKR.

Did they let of down with Scarecrow? NO.

We have nothing to worry about.

That was my only gripe with Batman Begins. I wish there would have been more Scarecrow. Hopefully the next one will have some more character development on the villain(s).

Re: Batman 2 Discussion

Hmm not bad, Looks a bit rough around the edges but that's to be expected when this is basically the origin of the Joker.

Re: Batman 2 Discussion

I really like this look.

These are for Joker's thugs that assist in the bank robbery that they're filiming right now in Chi.
