Awesome The Joker

From his earliest comic book days to incarnations brought to life by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Hamill, and Adam West, The Joker is one of the greatest supervillains in history. Warner Bros. interviewed filmmakers, authors, and actors to talk about what makes The Clown Prince of Crime tick.

Prime 1 Studio created yet another masterpiece with its statue of the Batman Who Laughs, the Jokerrized version of Batman from the wild and wacky comic book series Dark Nights: Metal. The statue stands about 33″ tall.

The makeup of Heath Ledger’s Joker may seem easy to imitate. But during The Dark Knight‘s production, makeup artist John Caglione Jr found himself at a loss. Caglione spoke with CineFix about the iconic makeup and Chris Nolan and Heath Ledger’s contributions.

(PG-13) ArhyBES once again combine Batman and Dethklok to create a funny animated death metal music video. Set to Dethklok’s Awaken, the video sees Batman, Batgirl and their friends seek the help of characters from different worlds to try and revive the Joker.

Kingdom Hearts co-creator Tetsuya Nomura reimagined the Joker as a wheelchair-bound old man. But he’s become more powerful and demented with age. The figure comes with seven wildly different heads, and his wheelchair transforms into a prosthetic weapon.

Fools’ Paradise has an ongoing series of comic book character action figures that come with a kiddie ride version of their vehicles. Their latest batch features Bane with his stolen camo Tumbler Batmobile and a glow-in-the-dark Joker in his parody Batsuit.

Lessons from the Screenplay deconstructs how the Nolan Brothers’ screenplay for The Dark Knight contains the right ingredients for a villain. The Joker neutralizes Batman’s strengths, forces Bats to make difficult choices, and both have a similar goal.

Tom Waits sounds more like Cookie Monster nowadays, but in his younger years his growl had a mischievous ring to it, one that you’ll recognize is a dead ringer for Heath Ledger’s Joker voice.
