The Dark Knight Joker Scars: Accidental; self inflicted?

Lol!!!

damn bank managers

who knows, maybe him leaving rahs will come back to haunt him.

I think it should to be true to character... but they probably wont have it come up. I think the ending lines of BB between Bats and Ras were just sort of crap writing to try to make up an excuse to have Ras "meet his doom" so to speak. It wouldn't go down like that in the comics. It would have been Ras mocking Batman the whole time he was desperately trying to save him, then Ras getting "killed" only to be secretly saved by Talia to return another day.

Excellent theamatic reasons as to why this scarring route would make sense. But when in the movie would they show this scene and how would the audience ever find out without the movie delving into an uncharacteristically bad tangent. Nolan claims that we'll never know where the Joker came from and why he is who he is, but he's also said when asked about flashbacks in TDK that there will be no more in TDK then there was in BB; that means there will be a few. I guess I'm receiving mixed signals, but the 1/2 self-scarring is gnarly as hell; I just don't know of a way they could work it into the movie with flow.

I don't know either how they would fit it into the flow but it woudl be cool if they managed and showed just that little bit of super creepy backstory. Kind of makes me think of the Nazi from Pans Labyrinth who sewed up his sliced open cheek... you remember that? *shiver* Man that was sick and a completely amazing bad guy moment at the same time.

He wasn't a Nazi - he was a typical fascist military commander of Spanish heritage quelling the rebels from the Spanish Civil War in the latter years of WWII.

dude I already called it. I'm trying to find a picture from when he's yelling orders with his mouth split open. Hm, it would make an excellent base for a manip now that I think about it... for whoever is into that sort of thing. ha

Is it really that important to distinguish between the Nazis and the fascists in a fantasy film? =P

Spanish fascists are different from the Nazis in some simple way, they think they're better looking.

what im here for.

I once ripped the corner of my mouth, leaving a small scar. The doc, in emergency, told me I had a small Chelsea smile. I've always called it that, until wikipedia also told me it's called a 'Glasgow grin'. So I googled that and found a small B grade actor who has a 'Glasgow grin' done and a proper one at that. Name's Tommy Flanagan, only role you'll know was Braveheart. But I included a photo to show what it looks like.

t:t: Well, this particular Spanish fascist was damn good looking. A tribute to his acting ability that I was still able to hate him fully despite his dashing good looks.

this makes me wonder
with all the things they do to peoples faces and bodies
just for decoration, if you couldn't go to a plastic surgeon
and get a widened grin/small chelsea smile/glasgow grin
i like the term glasgow grin a lot better

Currently there is no way that plastic surgeons have to make your mouth wider. Cutting the edges of the mouth would not work because it would cut through the muscles that make it move properly, and it would look incredibly bad as well.

Theoretically the only way you could make your smile wider is by long-term stretching ... not sure how this would be accomplished, but stretched skin does grow over time, as evidenced by all those silly people with giant ear lobe holes and tribes in Africa that do all sorts of bizzare things to thier lips and skin.

even if you could, why would anyone want to?

To look like their heros. Either Joker, or Cameron Diaz

Actually, although the scar's obvious, it it looks more like someone simply smeared cheap lipstick on him rather than looking like a classic Joker grin.
