The Batman Joker Mask For Halloween

If you have your heart set on wearing the Joker mask for Halloween this year just bear in mind the dark, macabre character from the most recent Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is not the only Joker mask available to you.

The Joker has been around for more than half a century. In fact, he's been a thorn in the side of Batman ever since the caped crusader was first spawned as an idea. One of the more famous Jokers was the suave and elegant Caesar Romero who showed his versatility from basically going from ladies man to making Gotham City's most wanted list.

Heath Ledger then gave the villain a real dark side when he portrayed him in The Dark Knight virtually upstaging Batman himself as the star of the movie. It was Ledger's twisted and horrific portrayal that has captured the imagination of Joker wannabes this Halloween and it's the reason why the Joker mask from that movie will be so strongly sought after.

But will the Joker mask itself be enough of a costume this Halloween? We say yes especially if you are going to be shopping for one. Naturally there's more to the Joker look than just the mask but it's definitely the feature which gives the most lasting impression.

The Joker Mask Plus The Joker Costume This Halloween

A green haired, white faced clown with one of the most evil laughs ever produced by a villain is enough to send the 'heebie jeebies" up anyone's spine. Do you think you can complete the role? The Joker mask for Halloween is certainly going to be a hit with kids as they go door-to-door collecting treats but those Halloween costume parties will be the prime target for Joker look-a-likes to strut their stuff.

But how about the rest of the outfit? The Joker makes a strong impression as he attempts to look like a businessman with a twisted mind. But following The Dark Knight, it's the green pants, the colored gloves and the trademark purple jacket made famous by Ledger which really gives this crazed clown the sense of horror. Make no mistake, he's one nasty piece of work.

Don't forget you can get one up on your Joker opponents this Halloween. Simply create a team from a group of friends and go as the evil clown and his henchman. That is, you be the Joker and have four or five friends dress up as clowns and "terrorize" the party. Even better, have someone else go as Batman and play out the occasional battles during the evening.

The Batman Joker mask for Halloween is the perfect look for a time of the year dedicated to goblins, ghouls and witches and don't just wear the mask but develop that evil laugh. You'll be the hit of the party!
