You know, the more I look at Heath's Joker, the more I feel like I'm looking at Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice wasn't as important to my childhood as the original Batman of 1989, but I must say, Keaton would have made a great Joker.

...Because he likes it that way?

Has he ever had any other color? Maybe my memory is bad, but I think the Joker always had green hair.

From my recollection it was caused by the incident in the chemical factory in Batman [1989] - his hair and his finger nails [and god knows what else] wound up tinted green and his skin seemed pretty much bleached. I'm not really familiar with Joker 'lore' or back story so that's the version I'm most familiar with...
The Joker in this film appears to just be wearing makeup, aside from some scarring around the face. I'm just wondering if there is an actual 'in universe' reason for it, Or if they simply gave him green hair to tie in with what audiences are familiar with. THAT is my point. Although I guess doing it cuz he likes it that way is certainly fine plot wise.
And total side note but I always pegged him as an 'expensive shoes' kinda guy. What the hell is he wearing on his feet?

Christopher Nolan invited journalists to preview the first six minutes of The Dark Knight, the much-anticipated follow-up to his 2005 film Batman Begins, which introduces the character of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger. The prologue was shot entirely with 70mm IMAX cameras and will be released in IMAX theaters along with I Am Legend beginning Dec. 14.
"I wanted to really show people the way that the format works, the way we're actually photographing things, and get that out there early and get people that incredibly immersive experience," Nolan told SCI FI Wire in an interview following the screening. "I wanted to construct a prologue for the film that would play as a short film on its own, as it does. And the introduction of the Joker seemed perfect for that. Because we're not dealing with the origin of the Joker, we're dealing with the rise of the Joker. So I really wanted to introduce people to Heath's interpretation in a very overwhelming way, that really showed the power of what he's doing, threw them into the situation. So when you first see him, when you first see his face, you can smell his breath, practically. I mean, it's just right in there, nose to nose with him. It just seemed like an exciting thing to do because he's such an incredibly iconic character."
The prologue features a bank heist orchestrated by the Joker, a criminal mastermind who, according to one of the thugs, wears "war paint" makeup to scare people. His face is revealed near the end, when he lifts up a clown mask to expose the white makeup and red, scarred mouth underneath. On his way out, he tells the bank's infuriated manager, played by William Fichtner, that "whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger." A series of shots from the rest of the film--including glimpses of the Batmobile and Batcycle and Lt. Gordon (played by Gary Oldman) smashing the Bat signal with an ax--completes the preview.
Nolan said that the success of the first film and the addition of the Joker required a bigger format in which to tell the story.
"There's a big responsibility in taking on a sequel," he said. "It's something I've never done before. And I just got really fascinated by moving the story forward. It sort of set up an interesting set of characters and a world that I was keen to return to. But there's a huge responsibility, because we were very happy with the first film. We were happy with the way it was received. So yeah, we did feel we had to have a reason to send people back into this world. There's got to be something here. There's got to be a lot to see. And I wanted to get a feeling of scale. I wanted this to feel suitably big and important for a character like the Joker, who is an icon. We dealt with Batman in the first one, and he's very important in this one. It's still very much his movie. But the Joker is an incredible icon to place opposite him. So I felt we had to give them a really grand canvas in which to face off."
In addition to the opening six minutes, several other scenes from The Dark Knight were shot using IMAX cameras. These sequences will be seamlessly integrated into the film when it plays in traditional theaters around the country, but Nolan suggested that audiences who want the full experience should see the film in IMAX theaters.
"We'll be playing on about 150 IMAX screens worldwide, so one or two in all the major cities in America," he said. "Those sequences that we shot in IMAX, there will be four or five in the finished film, they will use that full screen, they will be from the original negative of the IMAX print and they will have that clarity and crispness. People seeing in other theaters, it'll all be in the Cinemascope aspect ratio, which the rest of the film was shot in. And there'll still be added clarity. They will be the best-looking sequences in it, but I'm certainly encouraging people, if they can, to seek out the IMAX version of the film, because I think it'll be the best way to see it." --Cindy White

This prologue is exclusive to IMAX, yet millions of fans will settle for YouTube quality. It's not that people can't tell or don't appreciate the oceanic difference in quality, it's that the fan base has a MASSIVE jones for any footage from this movie. Not everybody lives near an IMAX theatre. Even fewer would shell out the extra coin for an IMAX movie. Even fewer will want to shell out the extra coin to see an IMAX movie featuring The Fresh Prince as the Last Human On Earth just to get a six minute cock-tease of one of the most anticipated films of 2008. It's like putting the Episode 1 trailer before Meet Joe Black. While not as egregious as The Police reuniting and then charging $250 for nosebleed seats, ensuring that only scalpers and uptight yuppies get to see them perform, this is the same in principle.
I want to see the TDK prologue pretty damn badly. But this IMAX deal really twists my Bat-nipples.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
