I saw one too it was green and they didn't have my size either. Mind you I'm a girl and wear a size 3 in dresses so it's rare they have my size in comic book stuff anyway my Batman shirt has just been washed enough times to fit snugly.

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.

Supposedly Joker's makeup just wears down throughout the film and he doesnt reapply it. And from pics we seen, Batman roughs him up in the jail, which could lead to his make up messing up. lol

It's okay, not great, not terrible tho. I just don't understand why movie crews have to change the way the villains look to make them menacing or cooler or watever. Joker works, don't he, so why the hell change it? messed

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.

As far as Im concerned Joker is just a plain psychopath .. and I don't want no backstory explaining why he is the way he is .. takes the awesomeness out of it

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.

Nolan didn't come up with the scar idea. There has been art for that vision for quite a long time. It is simply the most realistic.

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.
