I agree. This version of Joker, in my opinion, seems a bit more realistic than the others... If you study real-life pyschos, like John Wayne Gacy and Ed Gein, they dressed in makeup and other "items" (I'll let you research those items for yourself) when doing their heinous activities... I believe Nolan may use this element to make Ledger's Joker more sinister and believable.

Good stuff!
