Iconic Portrait Photos Throughout History Recreated with John Malkovich

What does this have to do with Batman?

Well...I was scrolling though and saw this!


Was surprised to see it as I thought the Dark Knight Joker photos were more "iconic"

Well as Jack's Joker says "If you gotta, go with a smile!".

I guess this just proves how iconic Jack's 'Joker' is, despite everything that's come after it.

Also, I wonder if Malkovich could still play a Batman villain.  Although he's part of the 'RED' franchise, where he plays a (unhinged) 'goodie', he's never played a villain in a comic-book movie despite being connected at various times to 'The Riddler' (Burton's proposed third Batman film) and 'The Vulture' in 'Spider-Man 3' before Raimi was unfortunately forced to go, against his better instincts, with 'Venom' as the main villain.

I wonder who Malkovich could play in a new Batman film.  I always thought he'd make a great 'Scarecrow', or perhaps 'Hugo Strange'.  He'd be best as an aloof, cold, intellectual villain (so 'Mr Freeze' is another potential option).

That's scarier than anything I've seen, in terms of images, from Ledger's version. It's great to know that Jack's Joker is still so much on the minds of fans and otherwise.
