First Look at the Joker's Clown Car for "The Dark Knight"!

filmwad.com — That's right -- it's the Jokermobile. The Joker has evidently chosen a hastily-painted purple 30's truck to cruise around in and it looks pretty damn cool, all things considered.

  • mandarin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+43Realistic and not looking like a Chucky Cheese truck.. Pretty ok.
  • mspink, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1It would have been better if they used a '52 Merc!
  • nubnub, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2I had doubts about joker being in next batman and ruining it, but it seems pretty good.
  • tracker5kx, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1Fission Mailed
  • peagle, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2I hope they take cues on the Joker's performance from Batman: Dead End

    • wbeavis, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Awesome film. The Joker was played by "Boner" from the TV Show Growing Pains.

  • spaggard, on 10/11/2007, -10/+9Fake.
  • bigfinger, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1The car is a bit of a yawn. Not that I would like the see something from Twisted Metal games. Feels a little like a non story.
  • absinth1977, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8A -classic- ride for a class act villain. I absolutely love the vision and the sheer amount of balls they're showing here in the direction they're taking with these movies.

    Finally the Dark Knight gets a breath of fresh air and more than a few curve balls thrown, all without sacrificing the soul of the story.

    *THUMBS UP!*
    • mephitix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Would be nice if this were real... unfortunately this car is fake (http://boards.ign.com/movies_lobby/b5236/143827230/r143835562/). Someone photoshopped it and sent it to Latino Review (the originator of the news story).

      I'm sure Nolan will keep driving the original vision of Batman Begins in The Dark Knight... i wouldn't be surprised if the actual clown car doesn't look much different than this fake one.
  • BinskiBx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3This was proven as being a fake
    • zyl0x, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Source?
    • Whalen25, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2@zyl0x

      Give me a source that its real or stop asking people for a source that claim its fake.
    • skyfire1, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3Source???? THIS IS DIGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • zyl0x, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I like how people are digging me down for asking for a source. Yeah, maybe this picture isn't absolute proof that the car is authentic, but when people start saying things like "this was PROVEN as being a fake", then you should easily be able to link everyone to the proof, thus eliminating any doubt from my mind and anyone else who views the picture.
    • mephitix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4This is fake.. sorry for the duplicate comments but I'm trying to get people to mark this as inaccurate -- here're the boards that explain it: http://boards.ign.com/movies_lobby/b5236/143827230/r143835562/. A lot of the secondary sources are stating that it's fake too. Someone photoshopped the image and sent it to the Latino Review as a joke.
  • ItsCarlWeathers, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3I'm pretty sure this is fake. I read that someone made a mock-up in Photoshop and sent it out to see if people would run with the story.
  • spooky07, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3This can't be real, well for instance the car looks trashed. Now lets see the full form of the Jokers costume. Maybe its his first car? Batman is going faster through the streets.
  • JDoorjam, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Buried as inaccurate. Slashfilm.com explains it's a hoax (as others in this thread have alluded to): http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/06/14/photo-the-jokers-clown-car/
  • jsbarone, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2That BustedTees Ad girl has nice bewbies.
  • qazws, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1This sucks for looking a bit ugly. I wonder if joker had sex with harley quinn in the car? HA Ha hA ah ha HA Ha Ah aH haaaaaaaaa......
  • MadMastaZ, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1this really is a Jokermobile.
  • spotty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The LatinoReview.com page this was on has been erased...
  • qazws, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0now this is the smoker.

  • Risasi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Meh, who gives a rip...

    Ok, I was happily surprised by Batman Begins, but until they jump in with both feet and go back to the really dark times, when Batman wielded double 1911's and blatantly killed his foes, I'm going to be a pretty hard nut to crack.

    Dug down for being a fake...
  • ghrayfahx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0I fail to see how this even REMOTELY is from Batman. Looks to me like a guy was at a classic car show and snapped this shot. Put it into photoshop, put a few crappy smears on it, and people think it's some wonderous pic of the greatest villian car ever. Dugg down as fake/lame.
  • JohnnyXmas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That was my first car. Damn thing got 8mpg on petrol, and I had to vulcanize the tires every other month. I sure could cruise for ladies though.
  • glassjoe984, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Rad
  • FallenOmen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Would it have hurt them to give an up to date rendition of the a form of transport for the Joker ?

  • eksai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1so Batmobile gets upgraded to a tank...and Joker Mobile gets downgraded to a rust bucket?
  • kenkyomausu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This movie is going to be soooooooo Kick Ass...
  • copperplated, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0How many "fake" photos have come out for this film? Everyone needs to stop jumping on the first thing they see. If it's not from a reliable source, then wait it out. Sites like these don't seem to verify their sources, they just grab the story from elsewhere and leave it at that. Why haven't they taken the story down or at least updated it? Latino Review (the original site that linked it) already has.
  • trev0006, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1I think this will be the best Batman ever. http://www.discountpartcenter.com/
