As for colour argument if you really are an accuracy nutt should you not get everything in original fabric colour of the material and then light it and add colour filters to your eyes? Face it matching colours is a nightmare especially when these days nothing is presented in its original perceived way by fine tuning everything postproduction. The purple of the coat looks different throughout the film and promo material, same w his hair so how would you decide then? You pick something you like/prefer and forget about the rest and certainly don't argue about it after you compromised
Either argument is really only half way to me if you have to argue this endlessly cause nobody is wrong but nobody is right either
"Resistance is Futile"
I was just going to paraphrase those words.
I definitely get both sides of this argument. It's come up dozens of times, and every time, I'm torn. I get wanting accuracy to the coat Ledger wore while filming, in promo pics, etc. But at the same time, on-screen Joker did look different.
I more interested in the tailoring than the "perfect or right color" that it is meant to be, which is why I would be happy with Harue's suit. However, I hate the color of that light grey blazer and I think the Joker suit should not be too dark like nearly black or too bright like the DX11 one, not because of screen accuracy though but because those colors look either too dull or too bright. Nevertheless, that is just my personal preference though.
The Two Face figure didn't have little dots all over the side of his face, even though that's what he looked like on set. Or when people pose Bank Robber Joker looking at his watch, etc. Despite the fact that on-screen he wasn't wearing makeup and didn't have green hair until the reveal, unlike the head sculpt.
I don't think anyone here is that nuts, if the mask covers Ledger's face while he is looking at the watch you don't know either way if he is wearing make up or not. I think when people talk about accuracy it is not about what they don't see but know what is true, but rather what they do see, whether they know it is true or not. For example, you can't tell in the film that the Joker is not wearing make up on set in the Bank Robber mask and I did not know that up until now. I would rather have a Bank Robber Joker head sculpt with make up then one without because that flows better with the story. Since he takes off the mask at the end of the scene to show his crazy joker make up, even though I know now he didn't wear make up during that scene till the very end.
