*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.
