Creepy early Joker Concept Art

Batman — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 19:26:02 +0000

The Art of The Dark Knight has been released with a full script alongside production images and concept art.

The most interesting section in the book is the part covering the early Joker designs — the below images illustrate how gruesome and terrifying the Joker could have been. They almost look like something out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Some High Resolution Joker Images

Batman — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:32:33 +0000

Wow, just noticed I hadn’t posted these. Here are a couple of nice n’large Joker pictures for you to get your teeth into. The first one makes a great wallpaper.

EXTREME SPOILERS — Two Face and The Joker

Batman — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:52:11 +0000

I wish I hadn’t seen these. The French site, Lyricis.fr have posted screen caps from The Dark Knight showing Two Face and The Joker in scenes that are VERY spoilerific. I warn you — looking at these images may be too much, they are also very graphic.

I have listened to your warning and want to see this anyway

Leaked Joker Pictures

Batman — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:03:00 +0000

It looks like the Jow Forums have leaked some very revealing shots of The Joker in The Dark Knight, albeit with some photoshop effects thrown over the top. They include scenes from the hospital and the parade — they are major spoilers as to certain events in the movie.

As these were leaked we shall not be posting them here. Certain sites do still have them though. However I recommend staying away from these, if you can — these are things you’d want to see in the movie and not beforehand.

Thanks Keith.

High Resolution Screenshots from The Dark Knight Trailer

Just for you (especially those that can’t play HD video on their machines) we have some wonderful high resolution screenshots from the trailer that was officially released yesterday. I highly recommend looking at the Joker images, they are quite fantastic.

Two Awesome Joker Posters

Batman — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 19:04:03 +0000

Well, today is a day for fabulous Dark Knight imagery, and here we have two more posters for you to wrap yourself around. The first comes in the same vein as the International Dark Knight Teaser Poster featuring Batman, though this time we have a great, and incredibly teasing, shot of The Joker. The second poster shows us The Joker’s gnarly grin through a steamed up panel emblazoned with the words “Why So Serious?”, we’ll be looking out for a high resolution version of this in the next few days.

These pictures have come via Judao and Allocine.

3 New Dark Knight Images

Batman — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:23:36 +0000

These three promotional shots (one of which we have seen before, but clouded with cover page texts) come via Comics2Film. I particularly love the last image, which at first glance appears to be unrelated, until you notice the mask.

High Resolution Dark Knight Poster and Joker

Batman — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 20:14:35 +0000

We all like to see high resolution pictures, today I have two of them for you. The first is a whopping 300dpi 100mb version of the teaser poster. To illustrate the detail of a picture like this, here’s a fully sized extract:

The more astute will have noticed a link to this file on Why So Serious. It appears to the bottom right of the normal sized picture:

Batman and The Joker Promo Pics

Batman — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 21:32:12 +0000

These promotional pictures come via Uruloki which is getting pretty hammered at the moment. After all that viral marketing we get something truly rewarding via something completely unrelated… not sure if these promo pics were leaked early or not, though they come at a time when lots of publications are getting their Joker fix on. These are spreading like wildfire, as fast as those other controversially leaked screen cap images we briefly saw a few months back.

Without further adieu, here are Batman and The Joker, posing beautifully for you:

EDIT: Sorry folks, looks like the images are being pulled down! Hence they are gone from here too.

New Joker and Bale Images

Batman — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:15:10 +0000

Along with Empire, Wizard have a super hero themed issue which dons a glorious front cover picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker:

The Empire article itself also contains a new Batman picture of Bruce Wayne admiring the new bat-suit. For those interested in reading the article, but are unable to purchase a copy of the British publication, a typed out version can be found on SHH, Empire Article. This is an extract from the Empire interview with Chris Nolan:

“The way Batman Begins ended was intended not so much as sequel bait,” Nolan insists, “but to create a level of excitement at the end of the movie. Ultimately, the sequel happened because we got caught up in that process of imagining how you would see the Joker go through the prism of what we did in the first film.”

And how is the Joker seen through that prism? “Indescribable, really, Not to sound evasive — it actually is quite difficult to explain, but all I can really say is Heath’s not doing any particular thing, he’s inhabiting the character in very much the way I’d hoped from a psychological perspective. He really created something that I think is going to be quite terrifying.”
