Did they improve or miss an opportunity?

aesthetically it fits in better with batman begins and the dark knight rises

>>212853663 (OP)
The scene where he's with all the mobsters wearing his own self-tailored clothes inexplicably slathered with grease paint works because every one of those hardened psychopath thugs realize the joker is completely batshit for really no reason and is an actual problem. I can't picture the scene with a more "grounded" "gritty" "realistic" joker having the same impact. In the interrogation scene, Joker's makeup getting scuffed parallels Batman losing his own grasp, it's not needed, but it's a nice touch. In fact, the opening scene, when Joker takes off his mask to reveal just another hidden identity, wouldn't be as memorable if he takes his mask off and reveals just some fucked up ugly freak.

I don't believe we missed an opportunity, I think the director made the right call

Which Hellraiser movie is that?
I like it. Doesn't fit Nolan trilogy, but looks good

Hellraiser 4: Norwood Reapings

>no clown makeup
not joker almost kinda looks like the shitty redesign he got for the new batman adventures

>>212854106
Also the idea that he can take off the paint and blend in with a crowd is scary.

>>212853663 (OP)
This kind of design would fit Reeves' Batman.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

Exactly, it's not needed per se, but it's more of that nuance that bolsters the character and performance

>>212853663 (OP)
there's a really edgy joker comic where the character is supernatural and super sadistic and wears loose skin on his skinned face. It's what this reminds me of and I hate it.

They improved it.

It's too scary

This looks really cringe and edgelord, like the Joker from the deleted scene from The Batman that was so bad they released it on YouTube.

>>212854524
what the fuck does that even mean. How drenched is your brain in porn and stale cum anon? touch grass.

2edgy4 me crap.

As a few sober anons have pointed out earlier - all the make up (except the scar prosthetics of course) also was put on by Ledger himself - giving him that self made look plays really well to how the character is written in function to the script.
As his character basically is the one factor that continually sidelines all tropes and expected narrative devices - the fact that he looks completely self made grounds him from appearing as a deus ex machina.

>>212853663 (OP)
Edgy. Not bad though. I think it would work better for Reeves Batman series vs Nolan's

Heat Legend's scrapbook for the character was p. cool.

This is Satanic. I strongly suspect a demon possessed this man. That notebook is demonic and should be destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ Almighty and everyone who handled it should be locked in a room with a The Holy Bible for 1 month while they cleanse their soul.

You know your le ironic LARPing only inches you closer to hell, don't you, tubby?

>>212854412
NOOOOOOO you can’t use some subtext and movie making craft! It’s a heckin’ COMIC BOOK MOOBIE it has to be SIMPLE and BRIGHT just like muh Saturday morning cartoons!

>>212855517
I’m not LARPing and quite frankly your accusation that I am is diabolical mischief.

This doesn't look real. Image on the right is the exact same as the evil wojack, probably fed through an AI with parameters to make it look like an old screenshot

>>212855672
You’re right. Doesn’t look like concept art either

>>212853663 (OP)
Even for a concept art photo of the Joker, Nolan deserves an Oscar. The man is simply on another level.

>>212855672
>>212856082
Pretty sure this came from an art book from 2008. It’s a picture of a book and the image itself is probably a photo edit.
