Have always felt that Gary Oldman the actor would've done Joker to a T. His portrayals of psychopaths (especially when he played Stan, the corrupt DEA agent in the movie Leon the Professional), is nothing short of brilliant and had he'd been 10 years younger, the role of Joker certainly would've been his to burn! And just to prove he'd be fitting as the Joker, this base figure, Sirius Black, who Gary Oldman played in the movie Harry Potter/Order of the Phoenix, seems tailored made for Joker. The jacket and vest is already there, even his pocket chain and the hair is practically the same. Not much work in terms of customization, even his pose seems perfect as a knife wielding lunatic. His face was painted to have a chalky effect, just like how Joker looked in the movie, with the make-up smeared and coming off.
There's a coupla reasons Mr.J is here down in the book of baztardz. Firstly, Heath Ledger's performance makes this version of Joker, hands down, one of the baddest Jokers ever. And for those familiar with Gary Oldman's screen work, will remember his renegade acting roles, and wonder how he might've portrayed the Prince of Crime. The Joker character was created as someone who could push the button, a fiendster worthy of Batman's crime-fighting skills. All these elements culminating together for one seriously nefarious clown - love his disappearing pencil trick lol. Rolling in at #3, the Dark Knight Joker is a triple threat bad boy.
Thanks for having a look!
