Rory's Death Kiss

Sunday · 9 Dec 07 · 05:20 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

After the last post about The Dark Knight, I did this drawing at office the next morning —

That is supposed to be Heath Ledger in his role as The Joker, and the drawing was done with ballpoint pen and red gel pen. Did this one from memory and very quickly so it's all very scratchy. The quote on the top — "The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules" — comes from the Why So Serious site, and was the result of one of the activities that fans could do there. I absolutely love the quote so I used it here. I can't wait to see the way the filmmakers introduce and develop the character of the Joker in this movie. From what I have seen so far, the Joker is portrayed as a truly psychotic and quite insane villain. Heath Ledger's makeup looks positively creepy too.

The headline of this post, Rory's Death Kiss refers to another The Dark Knight viral site, which actually has photographs of people dressed up as the Joker at various places (if I'd have known about this earlier, I'd also have been interested in submitting one!). By the way, the entire viral marketing campaign for this movie is designed by 42 Entertainment, the same company that did the Alternate Reality Game based on the Nine Inch Nails album Year Zero.
