i agree. read my thread-opening post about how i think they're doing it in terms of the story

I don't think so, SS. They seem to be following the sides and in that, he was definitely the Joker (hence the make-up shot the other day.)

Is there the possibility that there are TWO bank robberies? One early on with a pre-Joker Joker, where he gets betrayed afterwards and suffers his accident, and the one mentioned in the sides occurring later, where he is clearly the disfigured Clown Prince? Doesn't explain the green hair in todays shots, I admit.

first- i can't see the green hair in today's shots, nor do i see bleached skin or lipstick.

in yesterday's secret shot he actually lOOKED like the joker.

It's just slightly tinted green hair, no white skin or lipstick. The shot is showing Ledger's back as he walks into the car, therefore there is no make-up necessary.

 

[Silver Souper]

but why wouldn't his hair be to the level of green that it looked in yesterday's photo?

 

[Bond]

That's the big question.

 

[itsthebatman]

The Joker is wearing flesh-coloured make-up to blend in with the crowd before the robbery, a la Jacks Joker in the museum scene in B89. Anyone?

I don't know. Is that what you want to hear?

Who knows. Digital color correction is pretty easy these days.

 

[FinchersGhost]

Each camera/film roll is going to pick up colors differently. You really need to ask the OP the questions.

 

[Miranda Fox]

^ Green also looks bright under the sunlight, so from a distance it'll look, well, green.

BTW, we can rule out two bank robberies right now - they are filming now because this was the only time they could use the current location.

 

[Silver Souper]

I don't know. Is that what you want to hear?

i just want everyone to admit that we don't really know what's going on. if these are modeled after the sides- than even in a mask his hair should be well green as in yesterday's photos.

at this point i am more likely to believe that something CG related is going to happen to ledger's face and hair.

 

[FinchersGhost]

Admitted, Souper. But I enjoy speculation way too much to shut up.

 

[Silver Souper]

i hate to be obnoxious about this- but we're going in circles. why give him greener hair yesterday when color correction is always an option?

 

[Silver Souper]

Admitted, Souper. But I enjoy speculation way too much to shut up.

what's up man? i don't want any of us to stop speculating, i'm just not confortable going with "they're filming the sides" when ledger looks 100% normal in broad daylight.

but i still love ya miranda

Okay.Even allowing for them shooting both now? Contrived, I know. Don't hit me!
I'm officially confused. WTF is going on? I mean, he MUST be Joker for this scene, as in the sides clearly the bank manager is horrified by his face. But he doesn't look like Joker in these pics.
I need a lie down.

 

[FinchersGhost]

I think he was implying that the poster of the photos may have made the hair appear greener.

All I know is, when I saw him, the green lights in the bank made it too hard to tell.


ADDITION - What I really want to know is when the bus is going to be used - It's still just sitting there.

I think its safe to say our heads are going to explode at some stage with the makers of The Prestige behind this film. Its difficult to assume anything

i can't see nolan going that close to B89.

I'm just saying that if, because of lighting or the hair people or some other unknown reason, his hair appears less green in this scene, than it would be easily corrected.

 

[itsthebatman]

Anyone got any painkillers? My head is throbbing.

 

[FinchersGhost]

What about a reverse? What if Joker isn't white, but puts on clown makeup over his scars? He IS demented, ya know..

 

[dkbatman06]

That was what I was thinking. he's a regular weirdo who wears a mask like his goons, then he gets the acid treatment.

I'm hyped for this movie.
