How to Make a Joker Mask
Making your own Joker mask can be done at home in front of the mirror. The Heath Ledger role in "The Dark Knight" brought the character back to the limelight after Jack Nicholson donned it in the first Batman movie. The more relevant and modern version has been a Halloween favorite for the last couple of years, and it is very easy to make with a Halloween makeup kit.
