Cool Poster of The Joker Revealed!?

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on April 29, 2007

There have been tons of doctored photos of Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight and the following may very well be just another in the long line of fan fakes, but there is no doubt that this has to be the best to date. An FSR fan named Matt sent this over this afternoon. It is supposed to be a shot of what Heath Ledger will look like as The Joker. To me, it appears to be just another great Photoshop job. I will let you decide…

Update — 12.15.07

Alright, so everyone knows that is a fake poster above — we’ve been through it all.

So how about this one? Is this better for you?

This is not what he will look like. This photshop of Conrad Veidt has been passed around the net before Ledger was even chosen for the part. Welcome to a couple years ago!

This is just getting pathetic. Is everyone so desperate to have an “Exclusive” that they will pass off old art work or fake art work time and again that just makes them look unreliable and ridiculous? People are definitely learning what movie sites not to believe.

@Theresa

In all fairness… We never claimed that this was “exclusive” or “real.” We just posted it up for discussion because this was the first time we (I) have seen it…

this website, heathledger.net has had the official Dark Knight poster for a long time. You should check it out.

The one on the fan site for Ledger not the official poster. It’s another photoshop fan image. Next thing you know, film school rejects will post that fake joker photo of ledger holding a color code.

Theresa is right! Everyone wants to get the exclusive on how the Joker will be and get more diggs on Digg. Just like it was mentioned on digg, if you’re a film fan then you’d know that the first photo was from The Man Who Laughs. And if you’re a Batman fan, you’d know that too.

Now stop trying to milk this as if you have an exclusive. You say that you’re not sure if it was real, but the way the post was handled and then followed by another fake, sure shows one is trying to gain more traffic.

I mean seriously, those are really good. I tried to do something like that in MS Paint, and it didn’t come close

Dear Neil,

You are exactly right in that you didn’t say it was real, but in fairness I didn’t hold you accountable for the poster. I didn’t say you or your site, I said this, implying the situation. There is no poster out there yet, so if anyone sees it, it will be news to Warner Bros. They are one of my clients and I spoke with the marketing representative on this film just Friday and was told there are no official pictures or posters out and there won’t be for quite some time. I have to believe the company that owns the film before I believe all these photos and/or posters that have popped up and been called real or authentic or whatever on the internet this week. However, I knew that you did not generate that poster so naturally you are not responsible for it.

Best
Theresa

@ Theresa

You are absolutely right. There are no real posters out there that WB has released (we checked as well). You have to admit though, that some of this “fan art” is pretty creative…

And to be honest, we really didn’t have any other news today, this poster was new to us, so we thought we’d let the people decide whether or not it was remotely reputable. And the people have spoken!
