, he had no intention of portraying him as a campy comic book villain, so the look needed to be right. The Tim Burton-directed filmIn a behind-the-scenes featurette, it was revealed that Nicholson had final say over The Joker's makeup design — and he took it quite seriously. "We had a lot of talks," the actor said of meetings with Burton and the makeup team led by Nick Dudman. "Creatively, it was very specific.
"When you look at the comics, his hair is not bright green. You also might see it as a lighting effect," Nicholson explained, saying he wanted the hair understated whereas Burton wanted it bright green or "Clarabelle" as Nicholson called it. "You don't want that level of clowning," the actor said, adding he reassured the director, "Don't worry, I will try to be humorous, He is The Joker." Still, Nicholson said they tried Burton's idea. "And we did the test on the wig and immediately he saw it was too bright," Nicholson said. "Change the wig. Much less green area. Much less fright wig element.
The actor also noted the makeup process was even more challenging due to an allergy he has, saying "One of the ironies of my life is I am allergic to spirit gum, the basic unit to movie makeup."Sign up for Heat Vision's weekly newsletter for all things comics, sci-fi and more.

Best movie Joker for me. He just played the role so well. Gangster, clown, and psychopath.
