Creating The Joker

You can get a great suit for a Joker costume from New Era Factory Outlet.

*EDIT* So apparently my use of the soundtrack from the Dark Knight was a no-no. I switched to Nine Inch Nails. Track 32 from Ghosts IV.

Dressing up as the joker from The Dark Knight. Costume is custom. It's supposed to stupid with epic "slowmo" moments a la 300.

New video is up: "Creating the Joker 2", it has the latex scars and voice work.

"Creating the Joker 3" has more voice tests minus makeup.

My universal response to anyone who decides to tell me that the hair and makeup is wrong: I know. I know it's wrong. I know the hair is too green and I know the makeup is not perfect. Congratulations, you managed to tell a simple fan that his costume is not accurate. I now must applaud you in your most impressive use of your time. Now troll elsewhere.

Music is from The Dark Knight Soundtrack.

@Theseriousjoker13 They'd know that I'm in theater and do this all the time. Not really a weird thing for actors or musicians.

Not all that sure why it was necessary to walk around without a shirt on during majority of the video...

@renaudlemieux1 It's a costume not an imitation.. You think people would walk around everyday dressed as the joker? And how is it an insult? People tries to look like Ledger because he did such an azaming job in the movie. Why do you think they aren't dressed as the older jokers?

@Tomlikesturtles Dude, that's Nine Inch Nails...

great video and everything, but why is the soundtrack an angry lion with asthma playing the piano with one note?
