The Joker Is Ichi?
Rumor has it that the image on the left is Mr. Heath Ledger playing the Joker in the follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Dean linked me to it earlier, and as soon as i saw it, I couldn’t help but think that Chris Nolan and the rest of the production team had pulled no small amount of inspiration from the ultra-violent cult film, Ichi the Killer. All in all, I’m not going to pass judgment on the new face of the Joker. I’m sure The Dark Knight will be as inpired and groundbreaking as Batman Begins.

Looks like it was just photoshopped. Oh well, it’s still a cool version of what Joker could look like.
