The Dark Knight

[Twin-Skies]

In storylines during post Crisis on Infinite Earths, Joker's generally always posed a problem for Batman because they're supposed to be mirror images of each other and the writers have been consistent at it, as recently as the Hush series and even Justice. Read the comics and you'll probably agree with me, that this isn't anything new. That's all I've been trying to say.

Noted.

What amazes me most about this Joker was that it was scrappy, dirty, unwashed and unkempt. It's like the dark deformed shadow of the Joker of the comics. It's literally unlike any Joker I've seen before, appearance-wise.

Credit goes to the makeup artists. I remember reading that they intentionally went for the gritty feel since they felt it would best mirror the Joker's inner pysche. He's a mess basically, both inside and out.

To quote one of the crew "You can almost imagine what he smells like."

Creepy though - all the subtle nuances (such as tonguge clicking ans stutters) of the movie's Joker makes his insanity disturbingly realistic.
