Of course not! Why would I bring something that also records video to a screening of TDK prologue? That would just be silly and dangerous of me!

You know what I was thinking for Joker and the whole PERMA WHITE issue.

I can't see Joker sitting in Arkham, or being on trial...with a "CLEAN FACE".
I cannot see it, because you would just be staring at Ledger...RIGHT?

Well somewhere in TDK I think it would be interesting (I apologize if this has already been brought up)...interesting if Joker accidently became perma white during a scene with Batman.

The Joker is a chemical genius, and works with highly toxic chemicals.
For example:
WHAT IF: Joker was in a scuffle with Batman, and he decides to whip out some sort of chemical to use on Batman.

The chemical backfires, or Batman blocks the splash or SOMETHING crazy WHO KNOWS.

But the chemicals splash all over Joker's face (while he is wearing the clown face paint) thus causing the chemicals to burn the paint into his skin. Scarring his whole face perma white because the face paint just became permanent due to the deadly chemicals.

I think that could work, it would ALSO give Joker a reason to Hate/Love Batman.

He could be obsessed with how they are the same...Ying to his Yang. And he could love him for scarring his face because he loves being the Joker, but he could also hate him for it.

I think this is a way around the chemical bath idea.

Still involves Batman, still involves chemicals.

Hmmm...filming at Battersea Power Station in London, lots of explosions and fireballs there...chemicals, eh?

I was thinking there might be more to the Joker's story than simply painting his face the entire time, and they kinda jumped on me about it on the 'paints his face' thread...I just think Nolan may some sort of ultra-secret twist in store for us.

 

[Silvertone16]

I really hope so. I like dk7's idea of Joker having something against Batman in addition to his psychopath status. He's gotta have more than just a crazy side to go against Batman, there's gotta be a reason there...

 

[Crook]

Hmm, has it ever been confirmed what that footage was for? I'd love if the chemical accident was featured. I dread the potential that it would occur AFTER Joker is already established. I see no point to that plus it just seems overly contrived. If permawhite is being included, do it from the beginning.

dk7, that is actually a pretty neat theory.
personally, i don't think there will be a "twist" when it comes to the joker's skin....it just seems to miniscule to be a plot twist. Nolan seems to be going for "permawhite" in the sense that the joker will not take his makeup off. But if there does end up being a twist, it won't matter to me. The way heath plays the character is the biggest factor imo, and he already looks the part.

I agree with everything you have just stated.

I honestly love how Heath looks, especially the prologue, he looked so insane...it was incredible.

BUT, I am just curious as to what he would look like in Arkham?

Would they let him keep his make up on?

Like...I dunno, I just hope that is taken care of...I don't want something that small leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

I know the movie will be outstanding, the energy in the opening scene sold me.

But if I see Joker sitting there in a straight jacket, and it is just Heath Ledger (that's when I get disapointed)

that's true, i wonder how they'll handle that....assuming joker doesn't die (i have full confidence that he won't, but you never know.)
i was gonna go see the prologue in toronto but i had work that night! argh! I was so surprised to see toronto there among the major cities...i as like...FINALLY...something happening in CANADA

The only thing they ever said about it was that it was for an opening sequence in the dark knight?? but we know it's not in the prologue? i don't know what that means exactly.

Haha I know, tell me about it.

I couldnt turn that down. The fact that it was only a 45 minute drive away, I couldn't say no.
