From Heath Ledger To The Joker

Heath Ledger's version of the Joker is the most famous. The Joker's scars were so unique that Ledger had to wear prosthetics all around his mouth. Conor O'Sullivan, the movie's makeup artist, said there was no plan for the scars, so he came up with them on his own. He was inspired by the punk and skinhead eras.

It wasn't hard to finish the transition because they only added the bottom lip and scars. The whole costume was meant to look messy, so the makeup didn't have to be perfect.
