    THAT is a Joker I can love.

    Unfortunately that Joker image is a huge fake, it’s an edit of a nice image from an older movie called “The Man Who Laughed”:

    But I do imagine this is pretty close to what he’ll look like.

    I thought it looked vaguely familiar…

    The joker reveal at the I Believe in Harvey Dent Too site isn’t as promising.

    Downey’s hair looks.. poofy.
    Now I’m thinking he looks too old to play Stark.

  5. Bartoneus says:

    I’d say that it really doesn’t matter exactly what Tony Stark looks like. So much of the character is the suit, that as long as he’s a brunette muscular middle-aged man with a drinking problem he’ll fit the bill. Or, rather, it won’t ruin the movie if he doesn’t look exactly like the comics, I don’t even think it’d hurt the movie at all. At least they’ve gone with a very talented actor.

    The actual Joker image is amazing, this movie might be surprisingly scary and dark! I can’t wait!
