I don't understand why people don't see that applying the make-up himself IS more sadistic. It makes it a choice that he's a looney nut job.
Don't we want a Joker that wakes up each morning and says, "Hmm...should I be a productive member of society...OR A PSYCHOTIC CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME??? Ha HA ha Ha hA!!!!"
Its the perfect counter to Bruce's choice between billionare playboy and caped crusader!
Joker just looks like some Boob in make up, NOT the joker. I read somewhere that Bruce begins the movie in the suit from batman begins and has to create the new suit for a reason, so it looks as though these pics are from late on in the movie, it looks like this is the finished article as far as the Joker is concerned, disappointing. I also think that wearing make up doesn't make him crazier, it's just a pointless venture away from the true character. I'm not going to hate the movie however or be a fanboy-type and whinge forever about it but it doesn't look like the Joker so it doesn't feel like him either.

Peeps said Nolan would make the Joker better than ever. Well, I'm still waiting till the movie comes out but so far nada is impressive to me.
