Meet the Joker in Empire Magazine, But See Him Here First

Heath Ledger will be making an appearance as The Joker on the cover of the upcoming Empire magazine, and Empire Online has unveiled what is certainly the most complete look at what The Joker will look like in the upcoming sequel The Dark Knight.

I must admit that when I initially heard that Ledger was cast in this role, I wasn't very excited. But as I've heard more and more of how he plans to portray the homicidal clown, I've been getting more and more excited. This latest pic has increased that to the nth degree.
