These are awesome! Of course, the Heath Ledger one is haunting. The Jack Nicholson one is perfect! Incredible! Captures the character he played well. And the Romero one is great. As a kid, I loved the old series, and as an adult I find it enjoyably hilarious the odd time I catch it on TV. Nice to see it get some love. You should include the Animated versio here too. I still consider that the best. The laugh was menacing, the actions dark, and it still all fitted the cartoon. Brilliant!

Thanks, Denis.

I think my favourite Joker is Romero. He looks almost like a Jim Aparo drawing come to life (even though the TV series predates Aparo's work on Batman)

I do intend to do the animated version of the Joker too, and one other live action version...

I always liked how they just face painted right over Romero's mustache.
Great job on all 3, But romero is my fav.
