Description
Ahahahaaaa!!!This is a still of the Joker threatening Rachel in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight. Painted from an image I found somewhere on'tinternet.
I have to say, I wasn't hugely impressed with the casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the beginning, but frankly he's grown on me and now I can't wait to see what he does with the character. I reckon he'll do a cracking job.
All rights Warner Bros etc...
Da na na na na na naaa Batman!!!
Acrylic on canvas. Funnily enough, crapscan was in a good mood

Do you happen to have the still photo? I would really love to see it.
This painting is so realistic - I would fave, but i know real people from here that would question my mental stability.

Cheers very much. I've included a link to the original in the comments ^ for comparison. I had to move Rachel a little closer to Mr. J in order to keep her on the canvas

you did an amazing job.
you really captured the scene, and the colors are really nice.
have you enjoyed all the trailers? :]

Cheers. This is going to be one of those things that I obsess about until the movie is released. The viral marketing has completely hooked me and yes, I enjoyed the trailer and prologue very much indeedy I believe Heath is going to own this role. Still love Nicholson's portrayal though, but it's just another viewpoint for this character.

Atleast your not the type of person who will only accept Nicholson's portrayal.
I always said Heath would be a good joker. So I'm proud :]
Once again though, this really is amazing.

Hahahaaaa, oh dear, you're obviously studying waaay too hard. There is a bit of Nicholson about him though (only in this pic) and although I couldn't imagine Heath in the role at the beginning, I do now

I think Heath can do a great job with the joker...
This is an awesome drawing!!! First I thought it was a photo before I saw the bigger version
You have done a great work with the colours!!!
Acrylics are awesome

Me too! There's some puzzling sites cropping up - newspapers on Gotham and recruitment sites for Gotham police or something like that. They're puzzling and may contain clues to something. I'm immersing myself in the puzzle at the moment
I think Heath will do a blinding job, apparently he's done loads of research on his character.
Aye, tis a painting! I agree that Acrylics are great fun to use...Cheers very much for your lovely comments

I agree with you 100% on Katie Holmes being absent. I don't want to be too hard on the girl so I'll say that her performance in Batman Begins was bad, but only in comparison with everyone else's.

Cheers! Well, there has only been one teaser trailer that I know of and that only has voices and the Jokers laugh on it...There's a few stills of the joker (inc. the one I used as ref) and there's a whole strange marketing thing with the Joker going on:

When I first heard he was going to be cast I was a bit 'Good Grief. Whyyyyyyy?!!' but I was just being silly. I really do think he's going to make an excellent Joker. Finger's crossed anyway
