What Will Joker Look Like In The Dark Knight?
Apr 18, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
The guy who runs Batman on Film has posted his views concerning whatever “updated” look Chris Nolan will give the Joker in the Batman Begins sequel: The Dark Knight. (Click on the first link for the whole thing.)
He thinks bringing a fresh look to the character is a GOOD thing and I have to say that I agree.
I’d prefer that they don’t just replicate the white-face from the first Burton Batman movie, although the image above, which is from the short film Batman: Dead End is a pretty cool incarnation of the character.
Seeing the cool job Nolan did with the Scarecrow character in the first film, I’m looking forward to what he’ll do to Heath Ledger in the sequel as far as makeup. I have no doubt it will be the creepiest incarnation of the Joker to date, and that he will be particularly psychopathic in nature. I’m pretty sure the character will cause the film to push the boundaries of the PG-13 rating.

I do hope that they will have resolved Batman’s inability to turn his head properly by the next film.
LOL, that DOES put a bit of a crimp in his ability to fight, doesn’t it? Combine that with looking through those eye slits and his peripheral vision is about nil. Not to mention how difficult it must be to hear anything through rubber.
Definite disadvantages when fighting multiple opponents.
