which part are you talking about? the report looking like the a mix between black Dahlia and a john wayne gacey murder sceen.
Or the bad crusty powder looking makeup? I always thought the jokers look was smooth and that his skin was white like a clown along with the smile..thats how he got his name?
I guess I've been wrong all these years.

[Spitfire]

I like how they bring a level of realism to this Batman sorta like what they did with Spider-man. It's still fiction but it's not SO out there.

[Brodie]

Spider-Man isn't such a good example...maybe moreso the batsuit in Begins?

[shuriken]

Well, maybe in this movie he scars his own face, making himself a nice big old smile. Then decides to paint his face. Because at the end of Begins Gordon told Batman about the Joker, although he never mentioned anything about a chemical accident, he just said something like"double homocide, armed robbery, has a taste for the theatrecal, like you, and leaves a calling card".
Joker probably was a mental patient in Arkahm and escaped somewhere towards the end of the Begins movie. That's just my guess though he's just an insane homocidal murderer that likes dressing up like a clown. Other than having his skin bleached and his lips burned off making a hideous smile. Well whatever they do I hope that the laughing gas is still used, I want to see someone laugh themselves to death, as horrible as that may sound.

[ToTheNines]

I think one of the clown masks he wears gets imprinted into his face.

Nothing big but new behind the scenes footage of Heath Ledger as the joker.

Wizard World just showed off some of the first clips, heres a descripition of how it went down.

The article from the site that was posted (http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies.../005607875.cfm)



Minutes ago, the capacity crowd at Wizard World Chicago was treated to the first look at “The Dark Knight” – the much anticipated sequel to fan favorite “Batman Begins.” With actors Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart on hand along with Nolan and screenwriters Jonah Nolan and David Goyer, DC Publisher Paul Levitz led the crowd through a spirited and secretive Q&A before getting to a sneak peek at the Dark Knight’s most recent on-screen battle with his arch nemesis, The Joker.

Fans were only allowed to see it once, and while it might be some time before the footage will be released to theaters across America, Wizard Universe was on hand to witness the action and give a full report.

The footage started with a silhouette of a dark figure in front of one of Batman’s armored vehicles before quickly cutting to Bruce Wayne and Alfred delivering the brief lines heard in the “Dark Knight” teaser trailer.

“Some people just want to watch the world burn,” advises Alfred before the camera jumps to Batman in action on the Batpod, the new iteration of his motorcycle.

The action built up as the Joker was seen in full for the first time with a mess of white face, smeared red lipstick and sweaty, straggly green hair. Apparently, the clown prince of crime gets arrested at one point in the film, as the montage presented Jim Gordon (complete in SWAT gear) at the Joker’s booking, saying, "no prints, no ID, custom clothes, no tags.” The clown smiles with what appears to be blood over his face from the inside of an interrogation room.

Checking back in with Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy has a brief scene with Eckhart’s Harvey Dent where he says “Rachel’s told me everything about you.”

“I truly hope not,” responds Wayne.

The footage sped up at that point into an intense montage of action, featuring the following clips:

- The new batsuit rising up from a trap door in the ground and held in a chain metal case.

- Rachel Dawes (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) close to an unidentified man either kissing him or being threatened by him as the camera rotates around them.

- The Joker and Batman battling in close quarters (possibly a hospital room). Batman throws Joker over a table and crashing into the ground while the clown smiles at him. It should be noted that the Joker was done up in his signature purple suit.

- Plenty of big, bold Batmobile action including a shot where the tank-like car drives through a wall of flame. In fact, flames were pretty much everywhere in the footage as it appears Joker does actually make the world burn.

- There is also a shot of a somewhat grim-faced Joker walking across a city street mercilessly firing a machine gun as well as a television close-up of the Joker laughing hysterically.

- Two major additions to the speculation that Two Face will appear in the film came in the form of a single shot of a spinning 50 cent piece and the final image: after the action montage has slowed down, the camera cuts to a bartender looking at Harvey Dent, whose only onscreen presence is his left shoulder and a bit of a reddish-purple scarred neck. “Dent! I thought you were dead!” the man gasps, to which Harvey replies, “Half.”

That sounds so damn cool.

That sounds so fanboy-tastic. I love the Harvey Dent stuff. Awesome.

These pictures just leaked seconds ago, I dont know how this person got them but beware, there are some spoilers so please look at these at your own caution. Theres quite a few.

(its rumored that the WB leaked it themselves but its to early to tell)

For those that dont want to be spoiled I will set the pictures in a spoiler box

Spoiler:

[Spike Spiegel]

That looks awesome.

Spoiler:

Is there a Bat-impostor or is that just a stunt man??

Spoiler:

There was word that another man would be running around as a vigalante but I guess its several now, which goes along with the theme escalation. But its possible some of them are jokers men.

Rest of images

[Barkworm]

Very cool pics but the new costume looks awful.

[Drtooth]

As long as he doesn't look like this....

I'll be happy.

Honestly, I am a little disappointed they went straight for the Joker. There are just so many villains in the Batman catalogue they could have used. I would love to see Killer Crock or Madhatter have a film. But I really do want to see this.

[Mecha Cow]

Honestly, I am a little disappointed they went straight for the Joker.

...You do realise this is the sequel, right?

Pics look great. My only very minor gripe is the look of the Joker; Ledger's face seems a bit too wide and short. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, it does suck. But it's no biggie.

Yeah I agree the jokers always had a long face. The pics do look cool though and I'm really looking forward to this movie.

Considering what I say about the TMNT film, that's why I'm disappointed. We had films with the Joker. We've also seen Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler....

Two face I'd love to see, however. I don't think Batman Forever did him justice. Mr. Freeze came off as a cartoon character.

Batman has a lot of different villains, and I really would love to see someone obscure get a hit. last time we got Raj Au Ghoul and Scarecrow. Not something you see every day.

But I'm still up for it.
