So this is apparently a test shot of Heath Ledger in Joker makeup. I'm not sure if it's real, hell, I'm not even sure thats Heath Ledger. That doesn't look like Heath Ledger's nose, but whatever. How do you guys dig it? I like it alot. It goes along with what I suspected Nolan to be heading towards. I can't wait to see Ledger in character with the costume and lighting and Batman and whatnot. A lot of people aren't going to like it, but I'd rather see a character driven Joker than a purely asthetic one. A lot of people praise Nicholson's Joker because he looked like the comic book Joker even though it was just Jack Nicholson in clown makeup. I'm not even sure he acted in that one, I think he just sort of walked on stage and yelled at Michael Keaton, which, if you think about it, makes that movie way more entertaining.
p.s. it does kind of look like the crow, but I think that'll go away with the performance and the Batman and whatnot.

Man, why you always gotta be hatin' on Nicholson and the first Batman? On second thought, don't answer that.
If Nolan takes this approach to the Joker, I'd be pretty happy. It certainly fits the more realistic approach of Batman Begins, and is more threatening than the '60s/'70s version of the Joker portrayed by Nicholson.
To me the faker in this pic looks more like Josh Hartnett than Heath Ledger. Anyone see that?
