TDK Joker costume - anyone working on one?

[GeneralFROSTY]

I am already considering my Halloween costume for next year.
Check out my previouse official Halloween 05' 06' and 07' costumes at
www.myspace.com/jimmycosentino
I am really gearing towards doing The Dark Knight style Joker, and as with all my Halloween costumes, accuracy, quality and authenticity is paramount.
I don't have any costuming skills so I am hoping once we get to the realease of TDK, one of our talented costumers will have more visual and technical information to go off of on re-creating this costume.
If anyone else is interested in one of these costumes, give me a HELL YEAH!

I think it's a really neat-looking costume, from the few shots we've seen. If you're interested, there's a page where (apparently) they are revealing a really big close-up shot of him, bit by bit. Dunno if it's related to the costume we've seen already.

At least with this shot, you can see the details on his shirt

I saw someone with what I would assume was a TDK joker costume at Supermegafest in massachusetts last weekend. His hair was slicked back, he had weird contact lenses in and the scarsdale smile scar prosthetic.

I really like the design on that shirt. Anyone think there's a chance it's off-the-shelf, or is it custom?

I'd be happy just locating the material; sewing the shirt shouldn't be a problem.

The funny thing is, he looks like he's wearing clown shoes.

Well, that's true. But isn't it still possible that the material was custom-printed as well? Or is that fairly unlikely?

The shirt looks like a 70s vintage print. Which may help in the fabric search. I'm sure the shirt itself was custom made for the film tho, because they usually have several of each costume when filming. I don't see why they would custom print the fabric for one shirt though.

The vest looks to be a silk taffeta. If you prewash it, it gets that crinkle texture to it. Nothing for sure, but from just this one pic, that would be my initial reaction.

Give it time. Indy Magnoli is probably working on the shirt right now

When working on this film up in Chicago I really did not take a good look at the fabrics on Heath's cloths. I only walked by him a few times and said hello. He is a real nice guy.

I only wish we were allowed to take pictures. Some of the fantastic things I got to see and touch were just fantastic.

At least I got to be part of this film. I just hope the scene were I am behind Gary Oldman ad Christian Bale, I hope to have some good screen / face time.

Anyways best of luck on making the Joker outfit. It is going to be popular.

Here ya go. Ran across these on my regular movies news site. Thought this thread might find it interesting.
Enjoy

Well, according to Gordon in the official trailer, the Joker's clothing is "custom." Maybe that will answer a few questions about the costume.

 

[Minder Thr33]

Gordon as in Commish Gordon? Maybe it's a coverup by the wardrobe department to hide that they bought his outfit at Wal-Mart

Very Freaky man. I like the Joker look very much. Reminds me of my outfit a little. except Mine's White, Green and Gold

I like the look of the Ledger version - despite this being a "real world" style Joker, from looks alone it reminds me much more of the comic book character than Jack's joker did.

Here's another shot:

Hi folks,

I m currently in Japan　（fらc金g） having a great time. The teens and twens are known for their crazy taste in clothes. The newest thing seem to be oversized elongated shoes, very very similar to the ones I oversized shoes, very very similar to the ones I saw joker teaser pic.

Awesome man! Have any pics?

Anyone know if the "makeup" is permanent, like the Jack Nicholson version? Hope so, otherwise it's just a psycho in makeup.
