This allows for more mobility whilst retaining the same protection factor of the old suit (and not bulging/creasing around the joints due to it being a big connected piece of rubber).
right, but this isn't begins anymore, so he's gotta start looking more sleek.
She's not ugly.. she looks normal. I mean, if you think of her on the movie star scale of looks then yeah, she doesn't rate too high. But seriously, compared to normal people... she's not ugly.
It's been a while since we've had a good ole fashioned spy report from a comic book set but this Monday morning we get a doozy of a whopper of a report courtesy a JoBlo.com insider. Said source wants to remain anonymous, of course, but "anonymous" isn't a very interesting nickname so heretoforth we'll call him The Gotham Lurker. Just 'cause. Lurker filed two reports, the first of which is below (in the interest of full disclosure, I have redacted some parts of Lurker's e-mail that may have given away his identity) the second following shortly thereafter. Take a gander at what our man on the scene had to say for himself:
The scene is a fundraiser for Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) and it was in the lobby for either a hotel of some sort or of Bruce Wayne's mansion. First part of the night was Eckhart coming in from an elevator and making his entrance. Michael Caine was there and filming his shot for a good three hours. After that was done, then it was Batman's turn. He came in out of a helicopter with a hot model on each side, he truely knows how to make an entrance. But the big news is THE JOKER IS CRASHING THE ****ING FUNDRAISER. Yessireebob, you read that correctly. He is going to make an entrance (hopefully involving the breaking of a window or two) and 'crash' the party.
Seems like Joker has as much of a beef with Dent as he does with our friendly Batman. Joker's issues with Dent are further evidenced in another scene, which Lurker says went a little something like this:
Tonight was an outdoor scene with Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent doing a political ad that was to be played on a TV in the background during the movie. Since there would be no audio of it in the movie, he was screwing around and yelling random stuff like he was going to go to Washington D.C. and to bring us Grilled Cheese sandwiches. He was a riot. Then it was back to the condo scene [Ed. note: referenced above]. I. saw. the. JOKER! He comes out of an elevator with 4 or 5 of his masked minions, two with actualy plastic masks and guns, and the others had painting on their faces. The Joker does not look as grotesque as he did in the photo on the harveydent site. He has long hair with green highlights in it, he was wearing a long purple jacket with a blue sport coat under it, purple gloves and I regret to say I forget the color of his pants. But anyways, he comes in shooting and people are being hurt and killed left and right, he's looking for Harvey Dent (his first line says so). As Joker is hitting people along the way (he's slapping extras!), comes in Batman in that new suit that was in Entertainment Weekly this week. They fight, it's all long and drawn out and during this, JOKER DOES HIS LAUGH. It was high pitched, unique and really badass. Not exactly like Nicholson's, but who the hell can pull that off? It was awesome, just leave it at that. After all that, the Joker grabs Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhal) and begins his escape.
Wow - I gotta say I'm a little jealous. And I love the touch of Heath Ledger just smacking extras around. There's a tabloid headline for you. I'm dying to see a real trailer for this and hopefully we've got one on the way. Thanks again to The Gotham Lurker for sending in the report!
Report on the Joker's look (not sure how accurate but it seems legit)
* The Joker’s face is different, yet similar, to the pictures that have been released.
* Extremely different both look-wise and in manner to the two previous live-action interpretations.
* The white face looks to be “cracking” -- like dried-out face makeup.
* The Joker’s hair is long, greasy, and colored blondish/brown with green “highlights.”
* His clothing gives off a “…a demented Willy Wonka” vibe. The Joker also “…wears a long velvet purple trench coat with a diamond pattern purple shirt, a green vest, and very waist high purple pants. He sports purple gloves and a very long chain wallet.”
* There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING funny about TDK's Joker. He's one sadistic bastard. He'll be hated.
* From what “The Goon” has heard, Heath is taking The Joker to “…all-new f***ed-up levels.”
Somebody's got their standards a little out of whack, me thinks. I don't think she's ugly at all. Far from it.
