Picture of The Joker

Why isnt his hair green....


The face look alright.

If they ruin the Joker, then the movie is dead. You cant ruin Batman's nemesis and get away with it.
 
Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I wondered when I heard they had cast Heath Ledger as the joker how he would do. I just don't see him as the villian type.

I wondered about his hair myself. Still, the face does seem to fit. I'll be intrigued to see how he acts the role of the Joker. Thanks for posting the pic, Lady of Winterfell!
 
The hair is green...

Look closely at the one of him sat in the cell, and you can see the beginnings of green, and then if you go through the slideshow you'll see a picture of Hedger, and the reflection of the Joker in a piece of glass, complete with green hair.
 
these look better than some of the first shots I saw. He does have green in his hair but yeah, you can see the brown color. I hope they do computer touch-ups and use lighting to the best advantage to keep him creepy. Same with the new bat costume. I know Bale is happy that he can move his head but I don't like some of the shots I've seen. I really like how they're not gonna spend much/ if any time on Joker origins. He's going to be a mystery.
 
Exactly its not totally green.

Joker is suppose to be have bright green hair.

Shouldnt be hard to make his hair green.


His acting will be important of course, he have to do looney very well.

I hear that the backstory is going to be a major feature - in fact, that thread is going to be released as a teaser short before I Am Legend in Imax.

I think Ledger looks good as the Joker. I don't mind if he doesn't look exactly like he did in the comics - I figure that OTT look is fine in cartoonish colour, but a bit odd on film. Witness The Phantom, for instance. I like the grim realism Nolan is shooting for.

Grim realism is perfectly fine with darkish looking Batman but not with Joker.

His thing is too be very cartoony look and everything plus the dangerous looney thing.

Can't quite agree with you, Connavar. One of the origins of the Joker is in the old silent film, The Man Who Laughs, with Conrad Veidt (a film I highly recommend, by the way), and that risus sardonicus was anything but cartoonish, yet extremely effective. Handled rightly -- as it looks like they did here -- this much-less-cartoonish appearance of the Joker could actually be a great advantage, allowing him to be much more genuinely unpredictable and menacing....
 
I still think it would be great to see Mark Hamill as The Joker in a live action film. There is just something in the way he portrays the character in Batman The Animated Series, and Justice League that is an absolutely perfect mix of madness and brilliance. That laugh of his... I doubt anyone can match it.

The scuttlebut on the hair / white skin:

the plot is that what you see if the Joker in makeup - yep makeup!

basically they applied the makeup at the start of the film and then basically let the makup kindof rot away - so as the film goes on the face looks less perfect and more horrid... now back to the make up thing, effectively it "appears" that the joker here is a man simply in makeup - so thats why you can see a fair amout of pink in the skin and brown in the hair... now before people start cutting writs the rumor is that is "late" in the film (end perhaps??) that the joker actually does the old chemical bath routeen to perminantly change his skin / hair tone... but this could be a deliberate act rather than an accident that made him insane. we KNOW the batsuit is changed in the movie as part of the plot line - so why not make the joker go through a "metamoprphasis" also... and before all the fanboys / girls get very upset remember in the killing joke, seen by many as THE definitive joker story he says "sometimes I remeber it this way, some tim,es I remember it differently" making his origins a mystery... even to himself. So for me I think Nolan has a right to re-engineer a joker origin the way that best suits this now darker batman story line, moreover by allowing the joker to be a total raving maniac first who CHOOSES to look the way he does makes him much much more menacing.

either way all I can say is from what I've seen its possibly the best rendition of the joker - and I'm firmly in the camp of Jack Nicholson was a terrible travisty of a joker.
 
Yeah Jack Nicholson was soo bad as The Joker.


I get they want this look for The Joker.

But his look is so iconic that i wish for once they would actually make a big villain look like he does in the comic in this series ....

Marvel movies seems to be alot better at that.
