Next, there is another live-action Joker for you to color. This one shows the character as portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix in the film simply called Joker.
It presented a dark and very realistic origin story for the character, and for that reason we would keep the colors more muted and washed out to fit the feel of the film.
There is much debate as to who is the best on-screen Joker, but a favorite of many is the portrayal by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
His performance is considered one of the greatest in film history, and this next Joker coloring page draws from it for inspiration.
There are plenty of details to color for this classic portrayal!
The Jared Leto Joker is back for one more go in this close-up portrayal.
This one is done in a much more realistic style than the previous appearance, so it’s another one that we would color in a more muted fashion.
