An extremely talented cosplayer and makeup artist has brought Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight to life, featuring some incredible prosthetics work for the villain's iconic scars. Appearing in Christopher Nolan's second film in The Dark Knight trilogy, Heath Ledger's transformation into Batman's arch-nemesis is widely considered one of the most outstanding villain performances ever. Case in point, Ledger's version of the Clown Prince of Crime is still being recreated today despite the movie having been released 15 years ago back in 2008.
In a video posted to Instagram by Jose Davalos, the talented makeup artist features his cosplay as the Joker, complete with green hair, white face paint, and blood red lipstick covering the Joker's vicious scars on either side of his mouth. Showcasing his process for the makeup, it's revealed that Davalos created facial prosthetics to make the scars as accurate as possible. You can check out the video below:
While Ledger's Joker consistently changes the story as to how he got his scars in The Dark Knight, it's evident that Davalos put a lot of work into replicating his own for this incredibly accurate cosplay.
