I don't think they're going for DKR necessarily, (that incarnation is much closer to Neil's "obsessively groomed" figure than Nolan's/Ping's "Westwood punk"), but it's worth noting that the Joker in that story is the most physically dominating version I've seen.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740669500899738381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-32563035377942309612008-01-27T22:48:00.000-05:002008-01-27T22:48:00.000-05:00Wasn't Bruce Lee also found dead in his hotel room...Wasn't Bruce Lee also found dead in his hotel room?Matt Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780688232878059439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-58477835228701304372008-01-27T19:06:00.000-05:002008-01-27T19:06:00.000-05:00He might resemble DKR's Joker somewhat, though tha...He might resemble DKR's Joker somewhat, though that particular version of the Joker is quite old and the worse for wear - I would have thought that young and pretty would make for a better match with Bale's Batman. My guess is that they didn't have DKR in mind so much as they wanted to get as far away from Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero as they could.neilshyminskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745442660488961314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-78928086168071621542008-01-27T17:41:00.001-05:002008-01-27T17:41:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elijah Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748345694236063022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-49906151166361943402008-01-27T17:41:00.000-05:002008-01-27T17:41:00.000-05:00I wouldn't say "un-Joker-like" myself, as this ver...I wouldn't say "un-Joker-like" myself, as this version of the batman series has proven to be more than a little inspired by the work of Frank Miller. I would say that they are definitely leaning toward the "creepy clown" aesthetic that is a big part of The Dark Knight Returns. (I wouldn't be surprised if he has thoughts on an adaptation of that a decade down the line.) But, un-Joker-like in accordance to most of his appearances in pop culture, I would definitely agree. <BR/><BR/>That said, the look of Ledger's Joker definitely relates to the work of the Lees.Elijah Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748345694236063022noreply@blogger.com
