Joker's Hair

[The Dark Knight]

The Joker?s flesh tone skin is widely known to be make-up, used to make himself appear semi-normal.

In certain scenes, Joker?s hair is dark brown. Again, done to appear normal, I presume.

But how did he achieve this? Hair dye?

Are we meant to believe he washes out this dye and the natural green hair returns?

What?s the explanation?

[Reevz666]

yes..it's hair dye

[The Dark Knight]

I thought it had to be, but I just find it bizarre. How the hell does he get the green hair back instantly? And looking so perfect?

[Dark Knight Detective]

I wonder how long it takes the Joker to put on & remove his make-up.

No idea.

I think it would take a very long time to remove that brown hair dye.

[Dark Knight Detective]

I'd say maybe 2 hours or more.

[The Dark Knight]

I'm not an hair dye expert,  , but - wouldn't that brown dye cover over the green hair and stay there for a long time?

I think it'd be difficult to remove all traces of the dye in a short time.

A hair expert I am not, as well. But maybe the dye comes out easily...

[The Dark Knight]

Whatever he did, it worked.

I know it's only a film, but I was hoping someone out there had the novelisation and could get the official line on this.

Perhaps this matter is a part of the ambiguity that is present in each of Burton's films (which I definitely have nothing against).
