The Dark Knight Anyone think we might get a bald Joker?

[buddybaker]

I was watching BB for the millionth time this weekend and got to thinking about the visual interpretations of Batman's rogues in the film. Nolan was able to have Scarecrow and Ra's (OK, the Watanabe imposter) be identifiable as the comic characters and at the same time be realistic.

It all comes down to defining details. For Ra's, it's the funky chin beard, for Scarecrow, it's the mask.

In keeping with this asthetic, does anyone else think Nolan might throw out most of Joker's look except for his most identifiable details? I think it's highly likely that we could get a bald Joker--given that a) the green hair is the least believable part of his look, and b) a chemical bath would naturally cause one's hair to fall out.

uhhhhhhh . . . . no

EW.

No.

There are plenty of men who can pull off the bald look, but Heath Ledger is not one of them.

I don't see the point - the green hair is an iconic aspect of his character. Why remove it?

 

[buddybaker]

I'm just saying, it's possible. I always found Ra's swooping hair to be part of his iconic look, by Nolan chose to omit it in BB.

 

[Threshold]

I wouldn't be against it as long as it still looks cool & creepy.

 

[cryptic name]

the joker will have green hair. nolan doesn't want to alienate the fans just because he can.

 

[Boom]

I just threw up through my nose.

 

[Triligors]

Wtf?!

 

[Boom]

I'm so tired of hearing these visual bastardizations for the sake of realism.

LOL.

I think, the bald head thing just wouldn't work well on screen, and defiantly not on heath

That decision would be like giving Superman a buzzcut.

Have you ever thought of marketing that talent?

 

[Maniacal]

The Joker won't be bald but he won't have fluro green hair either. Nolan will probably go for green streaks/tips through his hair. Basically the human version of The Joker from the animated series.

Yeah...I don't like to talk about it.

Howabout an obese Joker with a man-dress?

Anyone?

[xwolverine2]

hell.............no

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Next thing you know Mr. Freeze will be played by a talking goldfish.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Well at least this idea isn't as bad as the one a long while back about the Joker being female.

Or instead of the death-clown motif, let's portray him as a pirate! No, no - a NAZI pirate! Or wait, better yet - a ZOMBIE nazi pirate!
