Early Concept Art For The Joker In The Dark Knight
A lot has been said about the look of The Joker in The Dark Knight especially considering how much praise Heath Ledger has been getting for the role. We even posted an article a while back that showed what The Joker scars looked like underneath all the makeup. Peter over at /Film, however, put us on to some of the early concept art for The Joker (before Heath Ledger was cast) and it makes the final Joker look pretty tame in comparison.
These images are all from the book, The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art and Full Shooting Script
The hair definitely changed from this green, spiky concept to the longer, greasy hair that Heath Ledger had in the movie. I’m not certain if that was a contribution from Ledger or if the character just evolved into that (maybe Ledger’s hair wouldn’t spike like that?). It’s some pretty cool stuff.
I’d encourage you to check out the book
