We almost got a much Creepier Joker
August 8, 2008
I’ve previously written on The Dark Knight before, having posted about some of the newest posters that were released to gain even more momentum before the movie premiered.
Well earlier this morning I came across some more interesting Dark Knight news (again found on Digg, surprise surprise). This picture shows one of the early, pre-Heath Ledger concepts for the Joker. While I prefer the version of the Joker we got and can’t imagine it any other way, this picture reveals that we almost got a more sinister, even creepier version of The Joker.

Some more concept art pictures for the Joker can be found here. These pictures as well as the entire shooting script are featured in the book The Art of the Dark Knight.
What do you think? Do you prefer the Joker as pictured here or the one we got?
