CBright7831 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah, its not much and Mr. Ledger (who stepped outside for a cigarette break) probably isn't in full make up but it's a start.
bobobrazil1984 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 It's definately encouraging. purple suit, greeen tinted hair, probably pale skin. it's all there. some ppl on superherohype messed with the contrast and stuff and produced a version which seems to make it clear that there are prosthetics on his face, thus making it obvious that this is at least some form of the Joker. might be partial make-up or something.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Seems they've got their bases covered. Nothing to freak out about here.
luke-o Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 The zoomed in picture makes him look like Vigo from Ghostbusters II when he's taken over Ray.
Black Lushus Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 he'll make a fine Joker...I didn't care much for him as an actor, his acting in Brokeback really bugged me (no, it's not the gay thing), but I really liked him in Lords of Doggtown and I recently watched Ned Kelly and they both kind of turned my opinion around. If anything, that dude can smile like the Joker without any special effects!
Brett Favre Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Right now its scheduled for July 18th, 2008.
Special K Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 I dunno if I could buy him visually as the joker... he's a better actor than he's been given credit for. I'm sure makeup effects will give him that psychotic whimsy. (It really should've been Crispin Glover) Otherwise. Harvey Dent casting is fuckinjg perfect. Well Anything's better than Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face. Though Batman and Robin might be the worst movie ever, Tommy Lee Jones was the worst villain ever.
Jason223_ThePit Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Worse than Carrey as the Riddler? What the hell are you smoking? I didn't think much of how Two-Face was scripted in the movie, but you can't hold that against TLJ. He did what he could with what he had.
Henry Spencer Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Worse than Carrey as the Riddler? What the hell are you smoking? Way worse. Both were better than Ah-nold in the next movie, though.
Black Lushus Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Uma Thurman was just as bad as any of them. did anyone get an Adam West vibe with George Clooney as Bruce Wayne?
Special K Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 I got the vibe that he really couldn't give a shit. And yeah, Tommy Lee Jones was way worse than Jim Carrey. Way worse.
Failed Bridge Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 I've been wondering when a sequel to Batman Begins was going to be made. Looking at the cast I'm surprised they aren't bringing back Katie Holmes or she didn't want to sign on. I thought it was good for both parties there. Ledger as The Joker? I stick by my previous thoughts that when this movie was going to be produced they should have turned right to Sam Rockwell to take that role. He already looks the part in the crazy department and he's 10 times the actor Ledger is.
ChrisMWaters Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 If he could have still done the physical comedy, I'd say just get the proper VOICE for it to do live action. Though Mark Hammil might be a bit too old for the live action part now...
CBright7831 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Posted April 21, 2007 If he could have still done the physical comedy, I'd say just get the proper VOICE for it to do live action. Though Mark Hammil might be a bit too old for the live action part now... He voiced The Joker for a deleted/storyboard scene for Batman 89 a few years ago. Still sounds as good as ever - even the laugh.
Guest heat Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I've been wondering when a sequel to Batman Begins was going to be made. Looking at the cast I'm surprised they aren't bringing back Katie Holmes or she didn't want to sign on. I thought it was good for both parties there. Last I know is that they didn't want her to return because of the shit she pulled with Cruise before Batman Begins hit the theaters.
2GOLD Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 is that the Joker...or the Crow? Looks like the Crow had a run-in with the Carver from Nip/Tuck. And he found some pot soon after.
Black Lushus Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 that can't be Ledger, right? I mean Ledger has a humongous natural grin. I mean...look at that fucking smile:
2GOLD Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 It looks like his face and it might only be a make-up test shot. Which could explain why he looks so incredibly bored or stoned, whichever you want to pick. And they might be saving the grin for much later, not wanting to give too much away. I'm just hoping those scars on his face are the picture bent or something, cause they look really stupid and doesn't give me a Joker feel. Yeah, I know he had them but it just feels too damn Hot Topic look for me right now. Like the Joker should have a Deadjournal.
bobobrazil1984 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I dunno, I think that looks pretty good. Not a big fan of the scarring, but at least the scars are white too and not red (ie - at least the scars aren't his smile). They certainly got the colors right. Heath has a pretty wide natural grin (as Black Lushus posted) so I don't forsee any problem there. It just so happens he's not smiling in the makeup/color text - I assume its a color test because of the Rubix Cube thingie he's holding up.
luke-o Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I'm not feeling it just yet. But hopefully it will get better.
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Dark Horizons: A source from Batman on Film says that preliminary designs show him having "gray skin with lots of scarring" to encapsulate a general scarier look Nolan has planned. They add that the outfit will be "raggedy," like something he just threw together without stopping to make sure everything matched. And here's a design of Joker. I hope he ends up looking like that.

Ripper Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 *looks around* Well...i kinda think Jim Carrey as the Riddler was the only good thing about that movie.
Black Lushus Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 *looks around* Well...i kinda think Jim Carrey as the Riddler was the only good thing about that movie. don't feeel bad, Rip, I agree...
Ted the Poster Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 It has to be a test shot. He's holding up a swatch.
Boner Kawanger Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Awesome, a picture without any source or accompanying press release or link whatsoever. I wonder if it's real. http://www.batman-on-film.com/batmovienews.html (If you don't want to click the link, the picture is fake)
