Re: Batman 2 Discussion
I cannot wait for the teaser.Joker Info?
Author: Jett
Friday, May 11, 2007 - 10:59 AM, 12:32 PM CENTRAL TIME: BOF received a report yesterday that has proven to check out. �Chicago Extra� informed me that he believes the Joker information reported here Wednesday (5/9) comes from an extra, not a stand-in for Heath Ledger. Also he said the following (Again blacked-out due to possible SPOILERS):
�Unfortunately, I can't confirm The Joker origin info. Based on personal speculation from what I do know, it sounds very plausible. The only two things I know is that XXXXX mentioned at what point in the movie the bank robbery occurs, and Ledger did have Joker make-up on for the camera shot where he takes his clown mask off. However, it was obvious that the make-up did not continue down his neck and it seemed that it was to look as though the character put it on himself. Again, this is personal speculation, but knowing those two things, I think the origin [reported in the blog] is very plausible.�
Thanks again to "Chicago Extra" for the info. Stay tuned...
More from "Chicago Extra" and the possible look of TDK Joker:
"I'll say that it resembled THE CROW in that it looked like the character did it himself, but it wasn't 'THE CROW makeup' (as I look again at pictures from THE CROW, I think part of it is that Ledger's facial structure with the white makeup resembles Brandon Lee's).
All of the makeup looked like the character used stuff you could buy at a store, and did it himself. The white went about mid-neck. He had a dark blue around his eyes, giving them a sunken, slightly demented look. The red smile was a thick (1/2") arc from mid-cheekbone to mid-cheekbone. It looked like the character grabbed a red stick of clown makeup and drew on a 'smile.' His hair was a greenish brown that looked like a poorly done home dye job. Overall, I thought the makeup looked like the character was trying to draw something that resembled the masks (of which, I assume you have see pics)."
Of note, I've long been told that it was possible for Ledger's Joker to have some sort of "cut smile," and I'm hearing that again. In fact, there's talk that it may be similar (to a degree) to "Bermejo Joker" seen here on BOF...
According to MTV.COM, Cillian Murphy is not going to reprise his role as The Scarecrow in THE DARK KNIGHT. "I can't count on that at the moment, I'm afraid," said the actor. I wonder if he was misquoted and said "I can't comment on that at the momment."

Awesome.TDK Cast/Costuming Update
Author: Jett
Sunday, May 13, 2007 - 12:12 PM CENTRAL TIME: "Miranda Fox" emailed me some very interesting info (Thanks "MF!") that I used in the following report. Again, I've blacked it out for those of you avoiding SPOILERS (mouse-over to read):
* The Joker is �The Joker� throughout the film. There could be some classic Nolan �flashbacks� that vaguely hint at his origin, but there is no big �Joker origin story.�
* My guy �Chicago Extra� was correct in his description of The Joker (Heath Ledger), but there is a reason that The Joker�s neck isn�t white, but is �flesh-colored� (and I�ll leave it at that).
* The Joker will wear purple in the film. It may not be a literal translation from his comic book suit, but he wears purple.
* A �gash smile� is a better description of The Joker�s grin than �cut smile.�
* Maggie Gyllenhaal�s Rachel has a bigger part in TDK than the character had in BATMAN BEGINS.
* The Scarecrow, played by Cillian Murphy, will be back.
* The new Batsuit will be more �fabricky� -- this jives with what BOF was told months ago. The bodysuit is said to be a tad lighter, kinda grayish. �Fabricky chain mail� was the description.
* Montoya, yes. Bullock, no.
Thanks again to "Miranda Fox!" Oh yeah, I've got an idea of HOW THE JOKER MAY LOOK. Just my opinion though.

Re: Batman 2 Discussion
This movie is gonna be sweet!
Its like Nolan has been following me around the net reading everything I have to say and is making the movie personally for me.
I said early in this thread that I would prefer it if we got little to no origin for the Joker because it takes away from his mystique. I also said I wanted a creepier more psychotic version of the Joker and that seems to be what we are getting as well.Comment

Re: Batman 2 Discussion
It's fine if you want to call attention to everybody in Gotham that you're driving around. Batman just doesn't work that way. He does things out of functionality not for looks and/or because it's "cool".
The Tumber was far too big and calls way too much attention to Batman.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Batman 2 Discussion
The Tumbler was taken directly from The Dark Knight Returns. And, I didn't get the vibe that Batman was going for the "cool factor" at all with the Tumbler -- if anything it showed Nolan's much respect for Frank Miller's work and I personally loved it.Originally posted by EWRMETSComment
