244:, which to him communicated the Joker's edge and unsettling essence. Hemming wanted a single, identifiable costume, a purple coat and green vest complimented with additional disguises and masks. Twenty Joker coats and vests were made as well of multiples of his shirt which was based on an antique shirt she found. Turnbull & Asser, responsible for James Bond's shirt and ties, wove a custom fabric for the character's tie after Ledger suggested a thin, 1960s style one. "The first place that I looked was obviously pictures of the Joker in past graphic novels, comic books, films, whatever, and then after that, I started to think, 'Well, how could someone be like this?'" explains Hemming. "Then I wanted to contemporize it, so I started looking in fashion." Hemming says another element of inspiration came from the world of punk rock. "You say, 'What's the rationale for him being able to dress like this?' That's when I started looking at the pop world and I ended up looking at the Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten," says Hemming. "I was just thinking, 'Well, there are plenty of guys out there who actually are as extreme as this, and there's nothing wrong with doing it.' You've got to make it look like someone really dresses like this. It can't just be, 'Hello, I'm putting on my costume.' It's got to be wherever he lives and whatever he's been doing, he's been wearing that."

corrupted clown face is built into the icon of the Joker, but we gave a
Francis Bacon spin to it. This corruption, this decay in the texture of the look itself. It's grubby. You can almost imagine what he smells like,” Nolan said. Once a concept was finalized, Caglione performed tests on Ledger using a theater makeup technique in which Ledger wrinkled up his face, raising his eyebrows and crinkled his crows feet, and then the area was painted over. Once Ledger relaxed his face it created cracks and textures. During filming the pair used the same technique with Caglione adding layers of white and gray. Caglione used a dry face paint activated with alcohol which made it dry quickly and stay on all day. Kryolan Aquacolor black makeup was smudged around Ledger's eyes and sprayed with water to create smears. Ledger always applied the lipstick himself because he believed it was essential to his character. Makeup took a further 15 to 20 minutes. The makeup was not applied in a uniform way but based on the context of the story, such as being more smeared for the bank heist scene because the character would be sweating more, while it was neater for his introduction the mafia leaders. It took about an hour to 90 mins to get the whole makeup process done.

created the scars by researching different types of scarring. He said "the skin has a nape... just like fabric does. If it's cut one way there will be minimal scarring, another way it is very difficult to heal which is what happened to the Joker." O'Sullivan was not given a concept or reason for the scarring, and developed ideas with influence from the punk and skinhead era, unsavory people he had met, and a delivery driver with similar scarring to the final Joker makeup. Using
Hemming's concept art, he developed three different scar versions and with Nolan's approval he developed one that amalgamated all three and molded to produce the applications. Using a transferring technique he had initially conceived of on

would rely on CGI. Veteran stunt driver Jim Wilkey drove the vehicle in Joker makeup with a fire suit and helmet inside a reinforced cabin. He manually pressed a button to activate a large piston in the back of the truck that would flip it, which worked in testing. On location the area was much narrower and because of manhole access there was only 60 feet of solid ground on which the stunt could take place. Corbould hid in an alleyway during the stunt as he was afraid it would fail but it worked the first time and only one take was required. The scene was shot for IMAX with five cameras, plus another one on the truck itself.

shot, three 720-pixel HD cameras were set up at different angles on set to fully capture Aaron
Eckhart's performance. Framestore also integrated shots of Bale and Eckhart into that of the exploding building where Dent is burned. It was difficult simulating fire on Eckhart because it is inherently unrealistic for only half of something to burn. For Dent, he was always dressed as impeccably as possible to look successful and debonair. Worked backward from his facial damage knowing the suit would have to match his red and black face, so dressed him in a gray suit with red lining so it could look like it had fused to his burns.
469:, and Franklin Street. Stunt driver George Cottle performed the crash in a reinforced Lamborghini. A Randolph Street parking garage is where Batman captures the Scarecrow and copy-cat Batman. Nolan wanted Rottweillers in the scene, but it took some time to find a handler willing to manage several dogs simultaneously as the animals generally did not like each other. Stunt man Conway Wickliffe was killed in September 2007 while filming a chase sequence in England. He was a passenger in a four-wheel-drive pickup driving adjacent to a stunt car when it crashed into a tree. He was memorialized in the credits alongside Ledger.
252:, he produced silicone molds from which soft and skin-like applications could be made. These could generally be applied directly to the skin while in the mold to make sure they were always fitted to the same place, rather than just fitting them by hand after taking them out of the mold. This preserved the delicate blending edges and the integrity of the sculpture while allowing for very soft pieces. Blending makeup was then added. This process made it harder to produce the applications but in turn only took 25 minutes to apply. The whole bottom lip is fake according to Ledger.
178:"bizarre-looking" and would never work, and set about making it functional because the 508 millimeter wide tires would make it difficult to maneuver. His team had developed a prototype within four weeks, using a gyro-stabilized gimbal to help it remain upright, and a main body that required the driver to lay flat. The engine was concealed within the body, exhaust systems into the chassis, and radiators were disguised as footpads. The wide tires were angled outward to make a narrower surface area when in contact with the road, improving its turning ability.

her crew developed a prototype backpack that could automatically retract the cape, but
Corbould suggested performing a test run with the normal cape with an easily tearable release in case it did get caught. In motion, the cape flowed over the tire safely and the backpack idea was instead used for Batman's Hong Kong infiltration. Goy had to ride the Batpod at up to 80 MPH, only falling off once. Bale was also eager to try it out but could not control it and when shown riding it is actually being dragged behind cars at 60 MPH.

Some of the designs were considered "too real and more horrifying", and refined to something more "fanciful" and detailed to have a more powerful visual effect without being as repulsive. Nolan preferred practical effects but accepted they could not realize his intended design without CGI, and that prosthetics could restrict Eckhart's acting. He also believed makeup would add to Eckhart's face when he wanted to reduce his face like a real burn victim.

pencil while his head moved toward the table. The scene itself required 22 takes to meet Nolan's satisfaction. Jarman remarked that two different tables were used during filming, a real table, which Jarman preferred because it was not as solid as its replacement, and a padded table covered in a galvanized rubber surface which was denser and firmer. He described it as akin to running into a brick wall covered in a towel. Pfister remarked that the table was covered in wrinkles from the impact of Jarman's head.
379:, a multi-level street that was closed nightly for filming over three weeks. The scene was filmed in IMAX, and included a crashing armored truck and a SWAT van crashing through a concrete barricade, a scene added by Nolan during filming.

it was physically demanding on Bale and the head and neck were difficult to move. Hemming worked on the redesign with concept artist Jamie Rama, rendering over 20 different concepts to create a streamlined design composed of smaller plates of armor with open spaces. Urethane was used to replace the easily damaged foam latex and neoprene of the original, and a material normally used in medical and sportswear that was lighter, more flexible, and more breathable.
