My own costume design for a cinematic Joker
Makeup doesn’t include prosthetics, actor has a naturally large mouth, but is almost perpetually locked in a grin. His chemical accident caused a skin condition similar to albinism, removing nearly all pigmentation, but darkening his veins and blood vessels so they are slightly visible through the skin. Hair is green, of course, maybe some brown undertones. Medium length, neatly styled. I’m mot sure who I would cast, I’d like to stay away from the cliche fan casts, Willem Dafoe, David Tennant, etc. Preferably an unknown actor. Early to mid thirties. Ideally a Kilgrave-esque type, but with manic outbursts. Really explores the abusive manipulative characteristics of the Joker rather than the overplayed psychoticness. He’s insane, yes, but not superficially. Short tempered but still humorous. Does not let his goons forget who’s in charge. Needs to command the space he occupies.
