If Jim Carrey was “The Joker”…
Article By Noddegamra. Filed under: Images, Movies, Photography
Lately I have been messing about with Adobe Photoshop (although, merely just Photoshop Elements 2.0). As I was browsing the forum today, I came across an image of Gordon Brown as the Joker. This reminded me of a past idea I’d had of Jim Carrey playing as The Joker in The Dark Knight, and inspired me to finally create the image above.
The original image itself was this:
I am still VERY new to photo manipulation, so someone with a deeper understanding of Photoshop will most likely be able to come up with something better. My image was done purely by using liquify techniques, and adjusting the hue/saturation of multiple layers.
This is by no means done disrespectfully towards the late Heath Ledger, I am sure he will do an excellent job of being The Joker in the new Batman movie. I just thought I would try this partly as an experiment (I will go on to photoshopping myself next) and as I had Jim Carrey in mind (favourably) before the role of The Joker was publicly announced for The Dark Knight.

However, I’m not sure if they will feature the Joker again, possibly even as a mark of respect ot the late Heath. In a way it’s a bit of a shame really, there is so much that can be done with such an awesome villain. There is loads of potential for numerous storylines/plots.

July 28th, 2008 at 11:20 amI was wondering how you do this photo mixer as i have Abobe 3.2 Photoshop?
Also, Jim Carrey would be gr8 as a comedy joker but could he pull off scary. I dont think so. Heath Ledger was more funny aswell. This is very clever well done.

I recon he could have done it will mind but not as good as heath

Jamie - I used Photoshop Elements 2.0 to create the image. Much cheaper than the full Adobe Photoshop. (although elements 5.0 is out now i think.. or 6.0?).
Jay - I’m not sure what they will do. Heath signed up for a 2 film contract, meaning there could be more of him? (i havent seen the film yet. going tonight!). The image above shows how Jim can look kinda similar
Mike - Thankyou

August 13th, 2008 at 3:11 amThey’ll never pick another actor to make the Joker, i bet my life that he will not appear on the next movie.
