The Joker actually exists, and his name is...

Anthony Misiano.

This guy is amazing, freaky and creepy all at the same time. He literally IS the Joker!

Wow! That guy looks like he stepped off the Comic book page.

[emeraldknight47]

Damn---that resemblance is unnerving! You don't suppose this guy had any type of surgery to make himself look more Joker-like do you? Or perhaps some type of really well applied prosthetics?

[Hedji]

Yeah, some really good cosplay going on there. Although, I might like to see some Infantino style wings on the hair.

He's the Brian Bolland Joker come to life. There's a pic showing his make-up process. It's mostly just his face, and some good facial acting!

You know, when he's not wearing the Joker makeup and sans the green hair, if you spiked his hair up a bit and put a pair of glasses on him, he'd come pretty close to looking a lot like David Tennant, too...!

I think the Bat In The Sun Joker is better and way creepier.

Anthony Misiano...holy crap...that is aMaZiNg!!!!!

A simple, skillful make-up which he manipulates perfectly. His photo re-creation of "The Killing Joke" is awesome.

This guy seems to be keeping in the spirit of a younger joker, and the wings only work for an older version of the Joker. And even if this guy wanted to go that route, it seems the only way this guy could approximate that look is by slicking back the top of his hair, and really teasing out the sides, which would be combed back as well.

That said: I absolutely love the version you're speaking of, as it's a very Bronze Age look (my favorite).

Conrad Veidt is the Joker Cos-players just never have the madness and the sense of creepiness that the joker has....Veidt has it in his eyes.

[emeraldknight47]

I do remember reading somewhere the Conrad Veidt actually was, in part, the inspiration for how the Joker looks (or looked, since I have no idea what he's looking like these days)...

Kane said Veidt was the inspiration for the Joker when he saw the movie The Man Who Laughs. Veidt has been looking dead since 1943.....O.O

I've never seen that one---and, after watching, I think he's okay---but, looks-wise and acting-wise, there was this guy who acted in a fan-film indy type movie a few years back where the Joker was a main character and was being interviewed (or something like that) in a padded cell (or somewhere in Arkham), and I thought his Joker was a bit tighter all-around. I just lost track of that short-film... but I remember being 99.9 percent happy with it. A rarity---right?

That said, I was pretty impressed with the "Bat In The Sun" Joker I just discovered via your link---but, even moreso impressed with this Batman they had going there---granted he seemed quite Conroy-derivative, but I guess his consistency added along with my Conroy-bias made his performance pop for me.

Patient J! It was good! The Actor does a total Mark Hamill Joker impression, but he does it well.
