The Killing Joke

Description

"Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away... forever." ~ The Joker, Batman: The Killing Joke

Made using Photoshop. Combination of the brush tool, the pen tool, the cloner, the filler, some good old fashioned copy-pasting for the frame, some firelighting, hue changes, and liberal use of highlights, midtones, and shadows. Inspired by the one-shot Batman: The Killing Joke.

Approximately, 13 hours.


The Joker and all related materials belong to DC Comics, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers Entertainment.
Batman: The Killing Joke, Created by: Alan Moore, Brian Bolland and John Higgins


Dedicated to Heath Andrew Ledger (April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008), who gives new life to The Joker.

That's interesting. I did the original lettering in pencil behind the Joker's head -- Brian inked it afterward.

The weirdest thing was walking down Melrose Avenue one day and seeing a huge blow up of this panel --a painting and recreation -- on sale for $500. Freaky.

i should have bought it.

Rich!
