I was upset though I was unable to get that shirt.
I finally got the new WIZARD issue.
Does anyone know why the Joker's face gets dirtied as depicted on the WIZARD cover?
Are they doing away with the Joker's face being permanentely grotesque in favor of him using white makeup that flakes off?
And is it 100% confirmed there will be no origin whatsoever. The article seems to be of two minds.
Nolan is going for as realistic a take as he can, or as real as possible from a comic book. lol
People may see that as an excuse, but I love what he has done with the characters. All the villains in Begins seemed plausible, and this Joker seems like it could happen. In the books he is driven insane by his accident, he can still be just as insane without it.
And considering we get the origin of Twoface in this movie, that would give us two chemical scarred villains in the same movie, which is pretty stupid.
The look of Ledger contributes to the madness of the character. He carved a smile into his damn face for ****s sake! If you want a stale Joker who has but 1 dimension to his character, crawl into a cave and pleasure yourself to the '89 version of The Joker. Everyone else should be delighted by Heaths look and portrayal.
I love Michael Caine's thoughts on Heath's Joker:
"Heath Ledger stunned me, Jack played The Joker as sort of a benign nasty clown; like a wicked uncle. Heath plays him like an absolutely maniacal murderous psychopath.. You have never seen anything like it in your life. He is very, very scary.

THe Joker was completely mad before Nolan came along with the "bright" idea to have him carve a smile in his face. So I'm not seeing your point. And everyone should be delighted by Heaths look because you like it? That makes no sense.
So, did you read the words I wrote or skimmed through them? Try it again.

The Joker was inspired by "The man who laughs" (Pictured above) It doesnt mean that they "Ripped it off" or that it's not origional. Johnny Depp Impersonated Keith Richards for Jack Sparrow. That doesnt mean that the character wasnt an origional concept, or that it wasnt amazing in general. just because inspiration comes from something doesn't mean that it doesnt fit, or that it's not origional for its self. Example: Heath Ledgers Joker is going to be a new, darker, and origional for a Batman movie. EVERYTHING new came from inspiration from something else. But you cant call it unorigional. Otherwise, there is simply nothing origional left. By Saying they ripped off the Crow, you must then assess that, NOTHING can EVER have a white face and dark eyes without "Ripping off the crow" And I can Garuntee you that there were characters who looked like the crow before Brandon lee put on the makeup, or even before that comic book was written. He's not the crow...He's the Joker. We should all deal with it.
I think the word you were looking for was..........original.

Whoa... That's going a little too far...
Jack was a great Joker, imo... He just needed to lose some weight and ditch the "perma-smile" for all but a few key scenes ("Wait till they get a load of me..." and "I'm melting!!!" come to mind)
However, I DO think they could have done better (Willem Dafoe was available at that time, to my knowledge)
Anyway... Some like it, some don't... I can see why some don't like it, but I personally think he looks kinda kool... (And besides, The Crow is one of my favorite comics/movies, lol)
spider man wasn't bad, at least the first one, lol they ****ed up Dr. oct in part 2 and i never saw 3 but 1 was good because it wasn't to far from the comics. batman and begins were also good because they have that dark gloomy look. I'm just worried that in becoming "original" he starts to create another lame franchise that's all over the place with those silly laffy taffy latex condom costumes and screw ball origin stories.
