This comes from a new marketing campaign from WB: www.ibelieveinharveydent.com and www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com

Looks like he's been on the wrong side of a Chelsea Grin

I think he looks great. I kind of wish it was slightly farther out so we know for sure what his hair will be like.

Looks awesome. Not for the kiddies, that's for sure.

i have my doubts. but it looks ok i hope eh cleans up a bit and has his hilarious hat on again!

Great pic of Heath.

interesting, i think itll look a tad cooler if his mouth had a cut on the side a bit like the main villain in Pan's Labyrinth...but the scars on the side of the released pic here is still cool

damn was just about to post this, oh well. i think he looks great, definately not one for kiddies. which is good.

It defenetly takes The Joker out of the Comic Book look. I, however, don't think this will get a green light. Way too disturbing and creepy. It almost walks into an "R" rating. WB wants to keep this new franchise within the PG13 line.

A very unique look for The Joker. Nolan is indeed a talented artist. But WB cares about profit. These might eventually clash.

WD, this isn't a makeup test, this is released from an online marketing campaign, I'd say it's the final look.

I'm pretty sure it's already been decided to be a fake guys. I could be wrong, but the site isn't registered with WB and I'm sure we can't forget the last time somebody put up a pic of the "joker" to get a rise out of people.

For a viral marketing campaign they wouldn't have it registered with WB. They would have outside help. It happens all the time.

The image looks very sadistic. It's a great image no doubt about it. But from a commercial sales POV...it may not be profitable. Can you picture this Joker's look on an action figure at a local Toys R us?

I'm all for this distubing look. But they may have to tone it down for the kiddies. After all...they bring their parents money to movie tickets and merchandise.

Aye, but hopefully Nolan will tell the kiddies to go piss themselves.

He told Batman Begins as dark and serious as he wanted it, that wasn't much of a kids film either.


Keeping fingers crossed that this one stays as is.

I've faith in Nolan until I watch the film in it's entirety that it will elevate comic book films to the next level of awesomeness.

Yes I can see it on action figures...especially if Todd McFarlane does them. There are plenty of people out there who buy action figures that are older than 13 years old.

Yup! I'm one of those over 13 years old.

Todd makes some real good looking figures. I thinking that if they go with these kind of Joker it might actually be done by DC Direct. But we'll see...is still a long way to go.

Im likin the joker so far. Looks arent everything either. Also, the ibelieveinharvenydenttoo.com site is down, and when you highlight the page you get a bunch of "HaHa hahaHAs"

That's demented. shock I love it.

I think that it looks kind of kool... very twisted and dark... I hope he looks like that in the movie

I think this is a very good look for the Joker strays away from anything that has been done before for the Joker. I think by this image we can see that Chris Nolan is going present us with a very dark Joker that until now has not been quite seen on screen. I am really looking forward to this movie and have faith in Nolan and Co on once again bringing us a brilliant Batman movie.

Tell you all right now. If thats what the joker looks like, I ain;t watchin the second one. That ain't the joker. Its looks like a corspe of one of jokers victoms. But that ain;t no joker. Don't care what anyone says. I'll dispute it till i drop. Better be a fake man. BETTER BE!!!

Thats the joker

So you want someone with a wider than average mouth, teeth that are 2 inches long each, and an over exaggerated chin? Face it, you will not get a 1:1 representation on the silver screen. It's too cartoony to do in a live action movie. Don't go see the movie, I doubt Nolan will care.

Are they going with the idea he uses makeup to distort his already f**ked-up mug, rather than a permanent skin dye like the comics?

The Joker is gonna rock.

I believe i read somewhere, that Ledgers insipiration for this Joker will be the Alex character, and his gang, from A Clockwork Orange. Which just screams sadistic. This movies gonna be somethin alright.

I don't like it, nor do I like Ledger as the choice for playing the Joker...

But, yeah, I like it...Hopefully it'll be a little cleaner in the next picture that comes out.

I love the Joker!

whats with all of the blood on his forehead

Yeah really.

Hell no. Nolan has done the better, darker & more serious Batman to date.

meh, do i neeedmy after school special speech on opinions again?

But Burtons city andbasic design was better

i remember when there was a drawing someone made of one of the Operators in The Matrix as the Joker, and he had like a self carved smile

I kinda remember that

It's not blood, the site hadn't finished the full unveil on the picture yet so others filled in the missing pixels, the person put the wrong color on the head.

Mate if they can make dinosaurs walk on the big screen, if they can have ppl fight with light sabers and if they can make man fly, than they can do a joker. It a movie, its make belief, so it doesn't bother me if the joker looks a little cartoony. As long as the character is accurate. And as for u and Nolan, u can both go jump, I really dont care

When the rest of the movie is supposed to be planted more firmly in a gritty reality rather than a cartoony comic, an exaggerated Joker would be out of place. It'll be fine once you see it.

*jumps* What was that supposed to accomplish?

Dont like it,and i dont like the idea of joker in a movie,we have seen it allready and batman has some of the greatest villians around,but then again i was not impressed with batman begins at all,but i was happy for a look at scarecrow and ras al gul

Hmmm...

So what's with the hidden message on the site, "See You In December" mean?

I'm hoping that's not the case. Would be rather out of character. But if it works..it works.

I hope not either, maybe he'll have it tattoo'd on.

The pic is rockin. Heath Ledger looks cool.

prolly or someother merchandising

If they wanted a batman movie to appeal to kids, they would have done what they did over a decade ago, and gotten joel Schumacher. The Joker is a Sadist not a kids clown, its only fitting that his physical look depicts the monster he is. The graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns" isnt made for kids. it's mature, and the joker is a monster (He kills kids) I imagine the movie will be dark, as the title the DARK knight eludes to.

true that

Batman Begins was not a kids film, im not sure but there are probably a few people here that think it is or should be for some reason..

Batman isnota kidsthing, though it should also not be too over realistic, gritty fine but keep it real

This keeps with the ideas working since Batman Begins. It looks to me like an 'Ultimizing' treatment of Batman, like the Marvel characters in the Ultimateverse for the most part. They want to make everything seem more real, the tech grounded in scientific plausibilty - unlike the Burton/Schumacher films, which put in anything their imaginations thought looked cool. That's why the Scarecrow didn't need to be a walking strawman; a creepy-looking psychiatrist in a suit, using a spooky hood & gas did the job just fine, and seemed real. If this Joker gets messed up in an accident and doesn't look as clean & well-tailored as the comics version, I'll buy that.
And if it's less kid friendly, good. The last one wasn't either, and did just fine at the box office.

The joker rocks. Its not what I expected but I take my hat off to Nolan . Again you can see that Nolan is trying to make Batman more real and gritty.

Damn that Joker is scarey....

edit forget what I posted it was fake.

yeah it would be nice if we could see the hair.

The onlykkid friendlyBatsy movies have been Batman & Robin, and Forever waskinda kid friendly less though than &Robin but stillkinda

It still blows my mind that its Heath 'freakin' Ledger playing Joker.

I think Ledger will do good as the joker, and that pic on the first post, is ****ing awesome.

I saw that pic a couple days ago, and I hope the Joker resembles something like that in the movie when it comes out.

This Joker doesn't fly with me. I don't like the look at all. He looks distorted. Joker, as ironic as this may sound, always seemed put together, physically. As if he were almost sleek-like

I imagined this Joker in court, with his hands cuffed, with a black on black suit, black slicked back hair, staring the judge dead in the eye. I imagined him sophisticated but in a hilarious insane kinda way and not in the way he looks in that pic.

He Joker looks like he played a role in "Hostel" or "Saw" or some sort of zombie horror movie.

So far,I like the look, but I would like to see his wardrobe as well, not just a giant closeup of his face. I also wouldn't be suprised if WD is right, and the WB cockblocked this version of the Joker, but hopefully that won't be the case. Ledger better not **** this up though, an actor could only dream about a role as complex, and great as The Joker's charactor.

I agree with you completely. He should have looked more creepy, but in a sophisticated kind of way, he looks like he's from a B-movie horror film in that picture. Very disappointing, I hope they change him considerably.

That's excellent. I hope they don't change it at all.

meh i liek it but mayeb hell clean up mid film

wheres the dapper twisted ellegance?
he just looks like a thug

some of you guys are worried about how Joker looks, but it was probably the same with Scarecrow...his suit and just scarecrow mask

that picture looks so fake, i dont even buy it. Ive seen a fan picture with a similar concept, and the photoshop work was convincing but not authentic. I still think hes gonna look as someone mentioned. A suit of some sort, with slick hair , possibly like the batman beyond joker movie , if that.

yeah but thsi wason its own website, whowould forkout the money for that? but then again someoen forkedotu for this before

www.Leekspin.com

so yeah

But its not fake...oy vey.

As for DC doing well with adult audiences...I must bring up CATWOMAN. The possibility for failure is still high. BATMAN BEGINS was stupendous. I certainly hope they keep the flavor.

its not about catwoman, its about THE JOKER and why won't anyone believe its a real pic

i mean, ive seen some SHIT photoshopped, but this one is by far the best, and if it is truly real than all the people that thought it was fake, well you'll look really stupid for doubting. But i can see they def. kept the scared face Joker like the concept design

alot of people believeitsreal smepeopledisputeit,iwas hazy but then i sawit on G4 soi believet

Holy typing problems Batman!

My god... that is so f*cking emo..... an emo Joker is what we have here people! Run for the hills! The end is definitely nigh!

He looks disturbing and odd.

what's emo about that? i hate how overused that word has become. its like the new word excuse to just insult something

not really, bloody lookin lips, pale face, black, closed eyes

if it was emo the Joker would have scars and cut marks on his wrists and hair over one side of his face like when Peter Parker got the 'black suit'

lol the detials i gave made him emo enuf

ha, everything is emo these days

well weve loweerd our standards on whtu is emo since the 80's so we consider things with minimalemones, emo. lek myself i have long hair so they jsutcall me emoall the time, and by they i usuakky mena stupid people

Afetr letting their top two movie franchise characters - Superman & Batman - get run into the ground, DC has learned its lesson. Batman Begins is one of the best since the first Superman, and Superman Returns brings respectability back to the series.

Supes Returns may have brought respectability back, but it sure didn't bring a story with it.

I can't speak to Ledger's performance, as I've yet to see it, but I have faith in Nolan to get the performance he wants.

As for the way the character has been handled, I think it's shaping up to be the best and most logical example of how this character should always have been portrayed. The black dahlia type explaination for his smile is brilliant. I don't want a Jack Nicholson Joker, I don't want a Ceasar Romero/'70's Joker. In the comics, I can only think of about 10 stories where the Joker is handled the way he was envisioned by his creators.

If everything I've heard is true, then this movie (much like Batman Begins) will be better than anything Tim Burton could have done.

Agreed. Everyone should go out and buy Batman: The Killing Joke.

It's a must have for anyone who considers themselves true Batman fans, and even more essential for any fan of the Joker.

Also, everyone needs to read the first several issues in which the Joker makes his initial appearances. This will help everyone figure out how this Joker is going to be different (better) than all the others. (There are a couple of them in The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told, which is where I first read them) There are also some really good Joker stories in the novels and short story compilations. (not the graphic novels, actual novels)

Lack of a decent story, lack of decent action., that film is extremly flawed giving the character has such a large history to draw from.

The thing about Superman Returns that I didn't like was the casting of Lex Luthor and Lois Lane.

I also think there should be a serious villain who Supes can FIGHT like machines built by Luthor, Doomsday, Darkseid, or General Zod.

In Superman Returns all he did was save people from falling buildings, glass, and other things. Never actually threw down with anyone.

Personally, I think the car fits with Joker's persona... He's out there, so he needs a car that's the same...

I know I can't wait. Reminds me of the animated series.

really dissapointing i thought....hopefuly it will get better

what exactly did you not like about it? The look? The paint job? It's your opinion of course, but I'm just curious as to what you think should be changed...

What link do you want? Let me know I'll try to find it for you.

The iolveharveydenttoo picture of Ledger doesn't really tell u a lot, The pic could be during his transformation into Joker(if the movie shows this) or it could well be the finished article. The Imax picture (behind a mirror during filming or whatever it is) that was released a little later is more encouraging as the image looks more like the Joker (green hair, purple suit, big grin etc). It's definately going to be creepy. I for one am glad that they are not just re-hashing the same old Jokers that we have seen (TAS, Batman 89') but i'm still a little bit underwhelmed by the iloveharveydenttoo Ledger picture as it doesn't feel like the Joker to me.

Naturally, Chris Nolan isn't going let everything out. We all must wait and then a fantastic film.

You guys have to love the glasgow smile they gave him though, the scars are a very nice touch.

they also showed another pic of him that makes him look much better than that one in an issue of USA TODAY about a couple of weeks ago.It was the full body shot,a small pic but he still looked great and it gave you a better idea what he will look like.I am so psyched about this movie.

No, they said that they received a ton of emails stating that the image was a fake so they removed it.

Does anyone know/remember the model of that car? What it was exactly? Looked more like a truck actually.

And how would anyone know its fake? Did the faker leave his sig at the bottom or what?

Looks like he's been on the wrong side of a Chelsea Grin

It looks okay but it could look a lot better. It'll probably be changed a little before the movie is released anyway.

i dont think a lot of people have seen the above picture heh, people in the other thread have no idea what im talking about when i mentioned it

I personally am not excited about the new Joker but I was skeptical about Begins. If he's good I will admit it but I am skeptical just the same.

I've faith in Nolan until I watch the film in it's entirety that it will elevate comic book films to the next level of awesomeness.

I used to have faith in Sam Raimi until I saw Spiderman III. I am all for a darker Joker, because that is the way he is written in the comics. HOWEVER, if this picture is for real, then Nolan has f**ked it up. He didn't f**k up Batman's look in the first movie. I liked what he did with the Scarecrow and Ras.

BUT, this is The Joker, who is just as much of a cultural icon as The Batman. I believe he has to have a certain look, and this is not it. I will see the movie, but I am preparing for a disappointment. I mean, what the hell is that f-ing picture? I did not like the casting of Heath to begin with (Chris Penn would have been far, far, far better). I was willing to give it a chance, because Nolan did a great job with the first picture, but now...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

Yeah and besides The Joker is supposed to be a pyscho anyway. So maybe theres nothing wrong with him looking like he should be in a slasher flick.

the isupportharveydent pic of Joker on the other page (closeup of joker w/messed up scars around the face and red around the mouth is real) if anyone has seen some videos from the set, theres one where Heath is in the joker get-up skateboarding around, he has the giant smile thing across his face, nicholson style joker hair, and like black dress pants and a dark purple tinted dress shirt or somethin

Sean Penn turned down being The Joker a long time ago. I, myself will wait and pass judgment about Heath Ledger after I see TDK.

I think he'll do fine, it's stupid to make a bad judgement before the film is released.

Well Friday we will hear his laugh and see a little more of him, so we will get a little better idea. I think he will do well, Nolan's casting has been great so far.

Looks good, scary too

I was extremely skeptical after seeing the iloveharveydenttoo picture of Ledger but after seeing him in the set pictures, in the purple etc, he looks like the Joker and is the right build for the character (Cesar Romero anyone?!). Can't wait for the movie to come out now! I am still skeptical though as i wonder if they will introduce Jack Napier into the story and explain why he carved a smile into his face and i wonder also if he'll make many jokes as he doesnt look like a funny kinda guy, Roll on 2008!

im sure everyone's skeptical just like Scarecrow being a dude in a suit and tie w/ a potato sack over his head

^im not sure if the Joker carves a smile into his face himself, it looks basically just like facial scaring, rather than an intentional smile. and if youve seen BB, the joker is already on the loose since the end of BB and will show Joker's past through flashbacks...just logical thinking

I have an inkling that the gas is responsible for his smile and his victims'.

Highly doubtful. The Dark Knight will make two as much as BB and will spawn several Batman movies.

Personally, I think the car fits with Joker's persona... He's out there, so he needs a car that's the same...

WHERE? wheres the pics of the car? I didnt see any pics there at that link.

yeah man, i cant believe that did that in Batman 89, i dont think Joker killed bruce's parents, i hate when they do that, like Sandman in Sp3

outside of Joker killing Wayne's parents, he orgin of the toxic bath was pretty well keep to the comics. In this movie, they flip it upside down.

you dont know that for a fact, what is known as a fact is that, at the end of Batman Begins, the Joker IS on the loose and his origins will be explained through flashbacks, you cant just take big assumptions like that.

if Nolan does change the origin, good for that, anything he does change has made it amazing, thank god he doesn't listen to fans as much as he does

You are being lead blindly when you think eveything he does change is "Good".

This comes from a new marketing campaign from WB: www.ibelieveinharveydent.com and www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com

Looks like he's been on the wrong side of a Chelsea Grin



I hope that's not what he really looks like in the movie.

And its make up.

Get ready for a bummer of a movie in 2008.

i really like how he just smears on the red smile over his scarred one...it makes it creepy AND it lets him leave a calling card other than his calling card (smeared smiles!!)

no its you who is being 'blind'. atleast when i complain about Batman 89, i backed it up with some stuff atleast rather than JUST make big assumptions about a movie that will release literally, a year later from now.

Perhaps...But I'm not so sure that it is make up.
