The interesting thing about the original joker and the Jack Joker was that they didn't have to go out of the way to make him look crazy or like a psycho. He just was. You knew that the craziness was underneath that green or purple suit, and that white face paint with the big smile. Sure he fell in a vat of acid that made his smile, but everything was inside. It was subtle by frightening.
With this one, with the scared face, the messy hair, the sloppy makeup the dirty clothes, its like, look at me, I'm a homicidal maniac that laughs. Its like being punched in the face with the craziness. Its not subtle or classical.

I think thats the idea though. They're trying to make the Joker looks more "real" to what he'd probably look like, which is what I really like about this version of the Batman series. Instead of the perfectly white face and green lips, with the nicely pressed purple suit, its more what you'd expect someone who was dropped in a vat of chemicals to look like(besides the fact theyd probably be dead, but we're talkin Hollywood here haha): scarred face, a couple boils on it, bad discolouation. And the messed up suit works well too.
I can't wait for this to come out!! I'm not big on all these superhero movies, but I loved this one!
