The Dark Knight Does anyone have any concerns about the movie....

[slevinkelevra]

i understand what all of you guys are talking about with the permawhite bulls***, i get normans point, and i wasnt trying to make a topic out of the superman thing.

 

[slevinkelevra]

Both arguments are correct; depending upon how you look at it, really.

you're right.

I think it will be revealed that the Joker will have a permawhite face.

My reasoning is simple:

There are picture of the Joker with facepaint in a police outfit. There are pictures of the Joker with a "flesh looking" face in a police outfit. IF he was, in fact, a man who simply put on make up - there is no reason he would ever have his warpaint on in the police outfit. After all, he is trying to blend in.

I think this clearly implies that the Joker covers his face in fleshmake up and then wipes it off revealign the Joker underneath. This gives me hope.

Your reasoning is certainly...reasonable...
However, this is the first time I read about The Joker in a police uniform with full makeup. How did I miss that picture?

I think they are referring to the "Why so serious?" bit in the trailer--he's wearing a cop's trenchcoat I guess, even though it looks like a garbage bag

If anyone just happens to have handy the pic of the Joker SANS makeup wearing a cop uniform I'd sure appreciate seeing it b/c I'm having a bit of a time finding it in the 23230478923450 pages of the Chicago filming (yes I suck), but if no one has it handy then I will keep digging....

go there and look at all the caps of joker, you see his neck and arms that are his skin, his face has makeup, read the empire magazine article and michael caine explains how the joker puts the make up on and leaves it on.

if nolans "big ending twist" is that the jokers skin is permawhite, which i am 99% certain its not in this film, then i will give up supporting his take on the batman franchise.

im glad the joker is not perma white thatll just ruin nolans vision

*hands up*

you caught me!

 

[batman497]

why does anyone care if he's permawhite? That's like complaining that batman is not wearing tights. He's still smiling he's in purple nd he has green hair. THAT'S THE JOKER!

haha i tried the same "ill boycott batman" line...its all LIES!

i tried this one the other day and got a heap of sh** for it. good luck on your journey into fandom.

but really, it would be a letdown for me.

 

[Reek]

yea i dont think he should be permawhite, cuz i dont want flesh colored makeup

 

[Ridethehighwind]

I for one really don't mind if Joker isn't perma-white, it makes him seem more unstable. I also wouldn't mind Two-face to have a straight line down the center of his face. It is a unique take on the characters' origins in a whole new story.

But I can agree with some who would be upset, if they ever told a story about Batman and didn't have his trademark cape and cowl I would raise Hell.

 

[slevinkelevra]

i'm going to go easy on that subject, its very touchy for some people...lol...

 

[batman497]

Was anyone here actually mad that Ras alguhl trained bruce in begins? Or that there was no mention of the lazarus pit or talia? That is the same as permawhite. Nolan is making a film adapted from comics not comic book movie. There is a big difference.

Yeah, it's a very complicated subject as well.

 

[Manosman]

My concern is that I'll get all hyped up and the movie will let me down........ie SM3, SR, SW:ROS. It's not so much the movies were terrible, they were ok, but with the hype i put on them, the final product was a let down, I just hope this movie blows my expectations away......


PS I'm already hyped.

Jimmy is the one that showed me the picture. He no longer has the link.

Again, its there - I saw it. It was the Joker getting in a car wearing Police threads.

I think a lot of it has to do with the huge popularity and following of the character. Every aspect of The Joker will be heavily scrutinized.
