The Dark Knight ledger's joker will wear a mask?!

[SouLeSS]

Not really a rumor. He's said in two different interview he can't wait to don the mask, or something of that nature. One said it very metaphorically, the other said it almost literally, with a little subtext.

However, what most of you don't know [as I grew up with an 'acting' family and most of my friends were 'actors' [read "Drama ****" by most]] is that a good majority of actors both large and small refer to whatever character they're going to portray as a mask. Except for maybe Johnny Depp. But thats' because he's literally crazy and turns into said character for up to 6 months after production has stopped on said movie.

Sounds like a metaphor as in getting into character is like donning a mask

 

[Retroman]

We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. t:

 

[ultimatefan]

Yeah, Rachel points to Bruce´s apparently unmasked face and says, "this... is your mask".

The Joker´s make up is kind of a mask, actually, only it´s a prosthetic one. I mean, it covers all his face, makes it look different.

 

[Darknightnomis]

It won't be the first time The Joker would wear a Mask. t:

Maybe Heath will have a mustache also.

That's a quote from a movie aint it?

 

[DV8]

Joker will not wear a gottam mask . . . my avvy will

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah...that was ownage.

This is the reason why nobody from the cast and crew should probably never say anything at all between now and the release. I mean, if they didn't....I'd probably understand. I'd be pissed.....but threads like this would make me understand.

THE MASK.

It was my personal post of the day.

ho hum :|

I think to a degree that mask quote was metaphorical, but it could mean a larger facial transformation than what some people may expect which could mean prosthetics or a complete physical change

 

[Cinemaman]

Well, now I think he meant "mask" not literaly. Joker has his face as a mask and most likely Ledger meant make-up or figurative meaning os this word.

 

[7Hells]

Exactly Cinemaman
Though I am a believer of him using the term "mask" to represent full face makeup with prosthetics.
Believing he was using the word as a metaphor, for the transformation of himself into another character, is reaching.

I don't think it's reaching at all . . . . plus when you do interviews like this, you kind of have an overall plan of what you're going to say . . . . he's used to term 'don a mask' 3 times already, but that doesn't mean an actual stupid mask . . . . think of the Joker as a character . . . . that's one helluva gig for an actor, and it's not far fetched to use the term 'mask' metaphorically when referring to such a transformation as he'll have to undergo when turning into Joker

In other news, Michael Caine will reportedly wear a diaper in the sequel also.

T3H PUFFY!!!

No he splits up his words. In children of men he says,'its the greatest mystery! Why.....are there no.....young people in the world'.

hahaha, so true. Anytime you watch an interview with him, you'll always see bits of the character slip out from whatever movies he's just finished making.
