Now I know Heath Ledger was supposed to be the Joker in the new Batman movie. But his portrayal is a monstrosity. His face looks like the Joker took a nap in the steam room!
If I have offended anybody by this thread I'm sorry.
Anybody with me on this?
I thought so at first but the more I saw the trailers and whatnot, the more I realised that, technically...it's the realistic version of the Joker. The non-comic and non-cartoon version.
The animated versions of the Joker have precisely painted make-up and more or less so did Nicholson in his portrayal in the older movie but, in essence, wouldn't a psychopathic maniac use makeup just like the new Joker is shown on screen? Wouldn't he look and dress like that if it were a real scenario?
Good point, I suppose
Yeah, in keeping with the new Batman theme it's the dark original version. The original Joker was psychotic and that's how he acted/dressed.
I applaud the new version for staying away from the family-friendly filter that seems to be getting attached to every comic book movie.
Hmm yeah, I agree with Merlock and Elis. I can't wait to see the movie. :)
I think he looks more manic like that.
Heath Ledger died...no?

Just out of curiousity, no maliciousness intended...why is it an honor...exactly?Quote:

That's odd
In the Dark Knight graphic novels, he looked more realistic like that.

I went to my school.
I feel special.
Cool, well I went to a school that's in the same county as Orlando Bloom's school! Just felt like mentioning it is all...Quote:

I'm sure Ledger's death will boost Dark Night's gross revenue and give his Joker character even more creepiness...
