Why are people dressing up as the joker?

Question

so heath ledger was good as the joker. really good. and it was a really good film. but why do people feel the need to do the joker makeup. i saw two people wearing the joker makeup yesterday! it really annoys me. they look like idiots, do they really think theyre cool?

Answer 1

They're expressing how they feel. It's a common thing with teenagers. Well.. I hope they were teenagers. They're just having fun, just like the Star Wars fans.

Answer 3

Chill out, hun. It's no big deal. They're either honoring Heath Ledger's last full production, or they're just having fun.

It's basically a form of cosplay. Cosplay is when you dress up like a character from a movie, game, TV show, etc. to honor their performance/looks/history, or even to have fun with your friends. The joker wore makeup, so they honored Heath Ledger's death by wearing the said makeup. They don't think they're cool, hun, they're having fun.

You can't blame them for being fans; it was an amazing movie. Besides, should it really bother you? It's just face paint.

Answer 4

i think its dumb...i was at seaworld a couple days a go and this teen had his face painted like the joker...i think they should just leave it for the real joker.

Answer 5

They are just riding the trend.

Answer 6

Answer 11

ii knoww EXACTLY what youre talking about. its like chill people it was justt a movie, youre not really the joker. but i havent seen anyone actually go out in public like that, thats really creepy. maybe they were onn there way to go see the movie or something, still, its weird. ive only seen people post pictures on myspace and stuff and everytime i see a picture like that i resist the urge to find that person and punch them in the face!

Answer 13

its because they are sad and have no lives or maybe something like a tribute to health ledger

Answer 14

I agree with the bear girl =]

Answer 15

I don't think it has anything to do with Heath. I honestly believe it's just people who are die hard fans of the series and who enjoyed the movie. It's kinda like people dressing up like Harry Potter characters.

Answer 16

Why people do cosplays? Because they think it's fun. You think playing you Playstation 3 is fun. People are different. Live with it. Game over.

Because Heath Ledger is kick a55.

Answer 21

Its a momentary infatuation.

They are identifying with a bizarre character.

Better that then they dress up like the Jonas Brothers...
