The Dark Knight Red Hood?

[Cinemaman]

As we know there will be some kind of Joker's backstory, so I have a questions. Will they use Red Hood stuf???

 

[NOFX]

Ok ill be a noob whats the "Red hood stuff?"

 

[NOFX]

Red Hood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[microchip_emozi]

Yes, it could be cool

By the way they could use "Batman: The Killing Joke" (by Alan Moore) because seems to be more on the story because in "Under the Hood" Robin is with Batman when Joker became Himself!!!

I'm really excited about the Joker's backstory because Nolan did a great work with Bruce's backstory!!!

(the firts Hood)

(the second)

I've found this great article on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hood

Edit: ops..Majik1387 found it before :P

 

[Cinemaman]

Well, as for me, I liked TKJ, but I dont want to see Red Hood, because it would be a bit strange to see him in Nolan's movie.

 

[Cinemaman]

So people, how will they show his backstory? Will they use flashbacks?

I think flashback is the best way how to tell his story.

 

[NOFX]

Nah I dont think sooo, remember guys the story will evolve around Batman/Bruce wayne! Not the joker.

 

[E-Mack]

Eh, I prefer if they just referred to his chemical accident. Have him be some random bad-guy or whatever, but no Red Hood. Or at least the one we are used to seeing. I always thought he looked ******ed. It's a freakin' Red bucket he's wearing for gods sake.

All you realism-freaks tell me how to explain that one. And you can forget about bringing up that double-sided mirror thingy he uses to see. That ain't enough.

 

[Retroman]

By all means bring on the Red Hood as long as they can come up with a a good costume.

If they don't use it go with the chemical accident perhaps caused by the terror in the narrows.

I llike if Nolan did like Ra's screentime. I don't want Batman has a suporting character to his villains.

 

[hitpehoaos]

the red hood thing will look wierd on film. I dont really know how they are gonna do the jokers back story to follow the same realistic tones of the first movie. Frankly falling in a vat of chemicals wouldnt make your hair green, face white and lips really red

 

[Ronny Shade]

The red hood is a very very good way to create a mystery around the origin of the Joker. Since we will be getting an origin, I think the red hood story will leave the largest percent of people in the dark, mainly because not many people know the connection between red hood (or have even heard of the red hood for that matter) and the Joker.

 

[BatFitz]

Well chemicals can bleach your face though. And the red lipstick and green hair is added by himself...to give him the appearance of being clown-like...I could be wrong but that's what I've been going with for a long time

 

[Avernus]

I think the red hood thing would be genius....it sounds similar to what Nolan did with scarecrow in BB....

instead of making the joker a clown....even though he can make him look disfigured....the red hood angle would be genius IMO..

"Red Hood" story is directly connected to the chemical accident:

the man later known as the Joker was a master criminal going by the name of the Red Hood (his costume consisted of a large domed red helmet and a red cape.) While attempting to rob a chemical plant, his men were dispatched and then he was suddenly surrounded on a catwalk by Batman and Robin. Left with no alternatives, he dove into a catch basin for the chemicals and swam to freedom, surviving because of a special breathing aparatus built into the helmet. The toxins in the vat permanently and grotesquely disfigured him, however, turning his hair green, his skin white and his lips red. Upon discovering this, he went insane and became the Joker.

What you wrote contradicts what the comic panel shows.

sure if you cut up what I wrote and not take it for its full contact
I meant, the scene from the batman movie, he fell a big chemical bath, were in the comic panel, I posted he drove in to a steam of chemical waste, and my point was that, it wasn't the chemical alone that disfigured him, but, the coloring came from the shemical fusion of the colors from the cards

 

[Rynan]

I was thinking about this topic myself. I don't want them to go too much into it. They just make a nod to it, maybe having pre-Joker where a red ski mask.

But, as I said, I don't want them to go much into it. Make it quick, so we can get on to the rest of the movie.

It didn't say that anywhere in the comic panel you posted. read it again.

 

[Rynan]

I read the full thing, you still contradicted the panel.

Where does it say that the cards gave him the coloring of the skin, hair and lips?

Maybe he means the chemical dyes...

 

[Ronny Shade]

It's impossible for the same chemicals to wash over somebody and change the skin lips and hair all different colors. kthanxbye

Well... i think the lips could be lipstick and that wouldn't be too much of a problem. then we'd only have to worry about it changing his skin one color, and his hair another color. I dont think that's too farfetched, is it?

either way, this is why i dont want an origin. Joker should show up with no explanation as to why he looks the way he does, save for possibly him telling it but then admiting he's not entirely sure it's the truth.

No, I agree. The chemicals bleach his skin. He manually adds the lipstick and hair dye.

not far fetched at all.

 

[Rynan]

*sigh* For this I would have to say...

LOGIC

Out This:

 

[Ronny Shade]

there's no reason to throw out logic.

If you're going to throw him in a pit of chemicals, have it bleach his skin.

Then have him add hair dye and lipstick

easy!
