ooookkkkaaaaayyyy... we've all had our fun.
Yes you've all made it quite clear that Joker will not be wearing a literal mask, a thousand times over now. I'm getting bored of reading the same opinion and the same remark. So either ditch the post and run along your merry way, or write the same thing again and get on the nerves of others. And although it sounds amusing, it really isn't.

Okay so there's been a bit of uncomfort about Heath hinting towards Joker wearing a mask. At first I thought (And hoped) he was referring to make up, or perhaps taking on another character but that chance has been seen as increasingly low. But I'm actually glad because I think I know what the Nolans have planned, hear me out.

For a while Joker is simply the killer with the homicide rep and theiving and such; he wears a clown mask that the remnants in the Fear Gas in the Narrows makes him appear something like Arkham Asylum's Joker. Anyway when Batman finally catches up to him something goes wrong, we bring in the Red Hood origin where the masked man comes in contact with chemicals; in this case something that bonds this mask to his skin. Black Mask's origin for Joker. I think it would work quite nicely and explain the clown like appearance as well as dulling my fears about Joker wearing a mask.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I've always hated the mask/ make up idea but thats not bad at all.
