There seems to be a slue of recent coverage from major media outlets about The Dark Knight, including a very menacing cover shot on Empire magazine’s January 2008 issue that was revealed online earlier this week. The folks over at Wizard magazine also got to spend some time with Batman’s new foe, and it yielded the picture below. The beautiful thing about it is that all of these new looks at The Joker are beginning to convince me that Director Christopher Nolan may have been on to something with Heath Ledger.
