Coolness: Joker Concept Art

by Liam on August 8, 2008 · 12 comments

/Film got some scans from The Art of The Dark Knight showing some freaky looking concept designs for The Joker. They are a lot tamer than what Christopher Nolan eventually decided for Heath Ledger.

Would you prefer any of those designs or do you prefer this?

    I think the originals look creepier than the final outcome

    i do not like the concept for the joker at all.
    the one on the left reminds me of The Texas Chainsaw, and the one on the right is just too greasy looking.

    The portrayal they choose is nice, i like that one best, and I'm glad they did.

    The makeup on the 2 above looks 2 complete 2 me. The one they chose makes him look more realistic as if there could actually be someone like that out there. Its rather scary actually, But Heath makes it look good. He did an awesome job. U ROCK HEATH! R.i.p.

    well, i prefer the eearly concept one … cause looks more brutal, just change the hair for the early concept, then … THE HELL with Heath's design …

    Heath's acting was brilliant … but doesn't look brutal enough … ^ ^
