I really want to re-watch The Dark Knight after checking out 'Paradise' by Erwin Olaf. Erwin Olaf's reimagings of the Joker are definitely not for the faint of heart.
These Jokers look creepy as hell! 'Paradise' by Erwin Olaf has managed to capture what made Heath Ledger's character so darn scary in the first place. The makeup and facial expressions are impeccable here. I may need to sleep with the light on tonight after seeing all of these freaky faces.
