I guess I could see that!


I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.

The original Harley Quinn:



^ The Joker forcing Alicia to wear that porcelain mask and have her uncover her scarred face in front of Vicki reminds me of Black Mask's 1985 debut I read a month ago, where he forces his girlfriend Circe to wear a mask tainted with poisoned makeup that leaves her face completely disfigured. It was even sourced as a reference in the 'Comic Influences on Batman (1989)' feature: http://www.batman-online.com/features/2008/7/19/comic-influences-on-tim-burtons-batman-1989/3#sthash.Fnos6AoS.dpbs.

Of course, the difference is Joker wanted to make a twisted artistic statement. Whereas Roman Sionis started using this experimental and volatile makeup against his victims out of a misguided sense of vengeance, once his reputation as a cosmetics businessman was ruined because he recklessly gambled on the makeup to save his company. It backfired miserably, and left Bruce to take over, much to Roman's disgust.
QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.
