My Prediction of Joker's face in TDK

If he uses make up & his look isn't permanent that'll suck but I'll still enjoy the film.

Ok, I've been reading complaints about Joker wearing make-up instead of being disfigured to look like a clown (and I agree that it is wrong). But here's a thought, maybe this is all a set up to let people think he isn't going to be disfigured. Now I'm not saying the make up will be left out of the film. But more like he paints his face for most of the movie and then in a fight with Batman, he gets disfigured making the clown look permanent and more menacing. Think of it this way, if Nolan wants to take a realistic approach, how would acid make him look like a clown? It wouldn't. But if he is wearing make-up while getting into an accident, then it could dye him permanently, almost like ink becoming permanent when getting a tattoo.

Thoughts?

Maybe somethings happens.

Maybe chemicals get splashed on his face making that the make-up won't come off

I'll accept that but I still think it's lame he's putting it on in the first place. I know Nolan is into explaining every detail for us but I really don't need it to make perfect sense how the Joker got dyed. I just need it to happen

If the movie is good, none of this is going to matter

Not necessarily. Movies aren't 100% bad or good, black or white, one way or the other. The movie could be structured extremely well with a great script, fantastic acting, and so forth, and then everyone could still say "but they ruined the Joker's character".

Thing is though, A lot of folks, me included, do not believe that Nolan will ruin The Joker.

I think that it's more likely that he's putting on the make up at first but then his mouth gets slashed & he ends up with the make up being a permanenet look. Either way, the look for the Joker in this film looks great. I loved Jack Nicholson's Joker but Heath Ledger's Joker's looks better.

All this is great speculation, but from what I'm hearing over at BOF, Joker DOES NOT HAVE AN ORIGIN... From what I'm hearing, "He just is... He wears make up, what's under the make up, we won't know..."

But I'd still like to see a "trying to wash off make up " scene where it won't come off...

I love Batman on film, but I also know that they aren't telling us everything. I'm sure Chris Nolan will have some sort of flashback sequence showing us how Jack Napier become The Joker.

I think the only Batman films that ever ruined anything were Batman and Robin and Batman Forever. I can deal with artistic license to an extent anyway if it adds to the movie so like I said, I am not initially happy but I am still open minded. I'm not saying new Joker sucks or anything I am just not happy with what I am hearing but it could work. But so far I'm not pleased

Batman and Robin is the worst in the franchise.

When the Joker grins we MUST see his back teeth and the only way this would be possible would be if he had been slashed or something previously. Images so far look great and will hopefully put an end to the whole fat bloke Jack Nicholson travesty.

True words.

the first joker was lame and boring. you can only go up from here.

I actually thought Nicholson did an excellent job with his 70s/80s style Joker... It wasn't the modern Joker, but then again, nothing about that movie is modern... (that may be one reason I like it, besides it being Batman, of course)

Yeah, he did a great job but hopefully Heath Ledger can be as sadistic. Even if Heath Ledger's Joker isn't the happy sadistic one, I'll look forward to seeing him as a total maniac & I even want to see what his minions will look like. The new Joker looks great. I'm excited! 💃

My sentiments exactly. I actually want Heath Ledger to play more of a sadistic Joker than a laughing idiot Joker (which Nicholson played very well).

See, now, I found this picture of an upcoming comic involving the Injustice League. Tell me the Joker doesn't look like Ledger. Why couldn't we have gotten THAT as opposed to the dark circles and smeared lipstick for a fake smile?

Instead, we got the much less threatening style of:
