just got Joker's Asylum today and can't help but notice how much, in some scenes, The Joker looks like Heath Ledgers Joker from the Dark Knight

looks like Heath owned the crap out of this role, so much so that they have started drawing him in Heath's image.

Could this be the shape of things to come?

Oh god, no...

Heath was awesome, but don't go changing the comics just because he was awesome...

looks like that's the route they are taking though

I actually thought it was based on the way Heath's joker looked!

Heath's Joker reflects a realistic psycho/maniac.

The comic joker should stay as it is - the comic version, where realism is not an issue.

god I hate it when they do that kinda crap. Its bad enough they made that moronic change in the first place,do they have to go and ruin the comics as well?

I would love for the facial scars to become the consistant look of the Joker. However, I wouldn't get my pantys in a wad, they do this around the time of a movie release. It happened in '89 with Nicholson. In a few months he'll go back to the way he usually looks.

I still prefer and love Jim Aparo version of The Joker.

His strech out chin makes him look more devilish.

Awesome! I love it!

eh...I don't know that it's I don't like the new look as much as I don't like the artwork in that comic period, just too grungy for my taste. If done differently I could see that look being okay, though I think comic-wise I would prefer the more familiar look.

OMG NO!!!! It worked in the context of the movie but please for the love of good it looks even WORSE drawn than it does on screen. GAH!

They did the same with tony stark. Around the time the movie came out Iron man looked like RDJ

I liked how in the movie they didn't go overboard with the green hair. It was just like he swam in too much clorine or something.

You don't like any changes in comic book movies, do you? Why even go to the Comic Book Movie forums?

Comics always change the characters around according to the movie's design.

They need to NOT do it in this case

They need to absolutely do it in this case. I'd start paying more attention to the comics if they do. But that's just me.

It doesn't translate well IMO. It looked fine in Nolan's universe but it looks horrible drawn on the comic book pages.

i haven't seen it drawn on the page. The shape of his face has shifted, but he doesn't have the scars or painted face. So I don't see the Nolan look implemented in the comics. But I haven't seen them all.

It may only look horrible because of the artist. Let someone truly talented who is consistent draw it in the books & I bet it'll look fantastic.
