Tonight, we can all sleep soundly. The Joker has been apprehended, and I imagine he looks a lot like Slashfilm’s resident spam commenter Jerry “Crack Corn” Butler. The above 20 year old, real name Spencer Taylor, was busted for stealing posters and memorabilia for The Dark Knight from a movie theater in Michigan. Cops arrived on the scene—no doubt wondering if this was the day—and booked the costumed goon on charges of felony larceny and malicious destruction of property. At this time we do not know if Taylor/Joker said “I want my phone call!” in a cold blooded cackle. Thanks to Andrew for the tip.

    I did a better job with my jokerface, come on!
  • TheDaftPunk
    Yeah, my face paint was waaaaay better. This guy is an amateur in more ways than one.
  • StarBlazer101
    So this guy is the "Crack Corn" Butler huh, more like "Crack Head" Butler. It's only a matter of time before some seriously psychotic wackjob tries to copy everything that The Joker did in the movie. I can only hope he doesn't pop out here in L.A. lol!

    Madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little push...
  • Bad costume job, where are the scars!
  • Keith

    @jonny

    I'd say you should get your A's and B's straightened out.
  • Quenfis
    The Joker will receive the Cock-Meat Sandwich.

    You sure that isn't Kevin Rose? I thought he might be down on his luck.
  • Kyle
    Why so serious little guy?
  • sari
    HA. He's kind of attractive.
  • Jon
    He looks more like Scarecrow. He would have done better to go into a movie theater, open the door to the emergency exit where a friend brings in a bag of bats, and then unleash the bats into the theater and run out of the emergency exit!
  • Captain Molotov
    What a fucking twerp.

    I wanna punch this kid so bad.
  • gah
    I just read that this kid is twenty. That just makes it all the more sad and pathetic.
  • Chris
    sometimes it helps to just ask the theater manager if you can take/buy posters and such. usually they have extras, and in my experience are happy to give/sell them to you.
  • Chris
    oh and that story made the local news in Detroit. Very funny story.
  • Adam B.
    @ Jon:

    I know right?
    first thing I thought of was Scarecrow with face paint.
    poor guy, posters are like what, $5?
  • YoungZe
    Clearly Style over Substance.
  • Joe
    Well, at least we now have an idea of what the Joker would have looked like if played by Adrian Brody.
  • Sausage
    It looks like the cop wash his head in the toilet in the second pic. lol
    That kid is to EMO to be the joker...
  • C'mon, someone goes thru all that trouble to look like the Joker (he's even got the purple coat)... he never planned on getting away. R-tard.
  • Steelo
    so sad...
  • 790

  • A Better Class of Criminal

    This kid needs some serious help.
  • Captain Awesome

  • Fred
    What a loser. he looks like a douche bag.
  • Joe
    The best part in the article was that the theater had held a costume contest for free posters, and no one showed up, a week prior.
  • John Roberts
    Okie Dokie, this kid is obviously a few fries short of a happy meal! LOL

  • Palmer
    That's just sad.
  • He looks like that dude in "Dark Knight" who Harvey Dent rode away with in that ambulance after the mayor scene.
  • I can has obsessive compulsive disorder?
  • Vanity
    LOL... I know that kid and his girlfriend... who i would bet more than anything was there that night... next time i see her i bet she'll claim they broke up and yet she was just talking about him... LOL

    BTW Sausage, and Mr. Anderson
    Spence... he looks that way in real life and his hair is natural... not colored... he naturally looks emo... im not defending him in anyway... i think this is the funniest thing ever.
    I cant believe he was stupid enough to do something like that. Maybe he was trying to impress his girlfriend
  • Styyl
    Some people are just kooks. It's a good thing that he was arrested. If they can't tell the difference between fiction and reality, they could potentially be dangerous if they are not given mental help.
  • 790
    Vanity you think this guy has a girlfriend. This guys girlfriend is Heath Ledger.
    Ha ha ha.
  • Wayne
    God, does he not look like the crazy who shot gordon? With the Rachel Dawes nametag on?

  • john

  • Shawn
    LMFAO! You guys are all too serious about this...why so serious? This kid has class, you really gotta hand it to some criminals, they really have a sense of humor. Everyone wants somebody to dress up as the Joker in real life and cause some havoc, come on, admit it.
  • joker
    hahahahahahhaha

    the joker: DO I LOOK LIKE A GUY WITH A PLAN!!
  • What's even funnier about this story, is the week before, that same movie theater had a contest for the best look-alike, and the manager of the theater said his makeup was better than several of the people who came to the contest, and he may have even won.

    First prize: the stolen movie poster
  • j
    He looks more like the tied up guy that 2-face almost shot, but batman stopped.
