Update: It appears that Ain’t It Cool News was tricked. The photo they posted earlier tonight, seen above, turns out to be fake. Theresa from HeathLedgerCentral sent us the following photo from Ledger’s last movie Candy. The Joker still above appears to be a doctored version of the production photo below.
The original story follows:
We were a little disappointed with the first paparazzi photo of Heath Ledger in his Joker get-up. We assumed that Christopher Nolan would be taking an untraditional dark route with The Joker’s look in the sequel to Batman Begins. Well AICN has scored a closer shot of The Dark Knight’s Joker. It looks like they are going for an extended grin. I looks good, but too close to The Crowe for my tastes. The site’s spies say this is what The Joker will look like at the beginning of the film. Check out a larger version of the photo at AintitCool.com.

This isn’t a picture of Heath as the Joker. It is impossible. This is a photoshopped copy of a movie still from his last movie “Candy”. I have the original photo in my galleries or it can be obtained from Dendy Films in Australia who distributed the film as proof. I put this picture and the original on my site to show them that it is the same picture only doctored. I thought you would want to know so that you printed what was factual.
Thank you
Theresa

I disagree! The second picture is from “Batman”, It was just Photoshopped to look like a production still from his last movie “Candy”!
