the many faces of joker

A few months ago toni and i were looking in the library for a movie to check out. when we found this. we could only stand watch a 20 minuets of it because it is a silent film and extreamly dull. then i told toni i bet you this is were. they got the idea for the joker.












this is a picture of Gwynplaine: played by Conrad Veidt. in the man who laughs a little boy was kidnaped by gypsise, they had a sergen transform his face so he could be part of the freek show in the carnaval. his face was permanently stuck exactly like that threw the whole movie.

then i read about how Bob Kane the creator and writer of Batman, was indeed influenced by this film to creat the joker.then you have thies two clowns, who realy arn't that scary.


I think Jack Nickolson could have done just as good of job as heath. but Tim Burton kinda blewit. becouse in most of jacks movies he dose do a good job of acting like a scary crazy person.
the joker realy was created by the batman droping him into a chemical vat. it died his skin white, his hair green and his suit purple. while in the chimical ware house something blew up and cut his mouth. just before batman droped him. the joker then made his way to a cheep surgeon who did this to his face to try and fix it.

the joker stays with the batman till.... i won't spoil that part. the question is now who coud play the joker? and only one person comes to mind... Johny!
