‹ Random Cover of the Week – “Super Mario Brothers” With Bare Hands •
Another picture of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight has surfaced, this time via a viral marketing campaign for the movie. The pic shows The Joker in the backseat of a car, in the backseat of a car. I can’t really tell a lot about the movie from it, but the makeup looks great. It’s another hint that Ledger’s take on The Clown Prince of Crime is going to be very, very dark.
For details on the marketing campaign that revealed the photo, and some hardcore fanboy discussion, check Ain’t it Cool News.

Ya want dark? Ledger said he is basing his performance on the version of the Joker from the comic The Killing Joke by Alan Moore. In that comic, the Joker shoots and cripples Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), strips her naked, and takes pictures of her naked, bleeding body. He then kidnaps Commissioner Gordon and tries to drive him insane by showing him the pictures (among other things). So yeah. Dark.

Yeah, that sounds pretty dark. I mean not as dark as Cesar Romero’s portrayal in the 60′s tv series. But pretty dark still.
