I found this image of Jack Nicholson's Joker in a Spanish review of The Dark Knight (Critiquendo: The Dark Knight by JhonJanor) so I'd like to know its origin.
Is it a Halloween mask? A horror sculpture? Or some kind of fan art?
Nicholson apparently felt that playing the Joker in 1989 offered a chance to wallow in his theatrical, anarchic instincts but that he was actually allergic to a widely used ingredient in the makeup, which complicated the amount of prosthetic work required for the Joker's permanent grin. He treated the character as a blend of gangster, clown, and performance artist.
At the beginning of the film, the two robbers are talking on the rooftop (before being attacked by Batman), and one of them is scared because he thinks Batman attacked Gobs, who died after falling from a rooftop. My question is, did that criminal die because Batman killed him, or was he simply so scared of Batman that he jumped off the roof?
The shirts says "get a grin again, and again". The same as the smylex commerical Joker does in the movie. He says "the joker brand, I get a grin, again and again".
Batman Fan Concept
What if Batman became the very thing Gotham feared most?
A terrifying fusion of genius, endless preparation, and monstrous hunger. This fan concept explores a dark reality where Batman abandons his moral code and embraces his predatory nature. With no limits, no mercy, and no heroes left to stop him, Gotham becomes his hunting ground.
Original fan art and horror reimagining inspired by the Dark Knight. Not affiliated with DC Comics.
What I like is that the hype sticker is on the cover and the gold promo stamp is in the perfect spot. Also as an interesting note up until this album Prince had been a teetotaler and then he met a woman and jumped straight to mdma. I love this album too and it's no knock at the guy at all, he was super talented and a genius but watch that Batdance video again knowing what you now know about the mdma and it will.all make sense.

Let's suppose Jack Nicholson hadn't played the Joker. Which of the following actors would be the best choice?
Tell me why whichever you'd prefer. Flip a coin. Heads or tails.
