This Joker coloring printable features our first look at one of the many live-action portrayals of the Joker in film.

It’s a slightly stylized version of his portrayal, but it has all of the small details that you would expect, such as the tattoos on his face.
We get another good look at Joker in this next image. He is running towards someone here, and this image could be the scene as experienced by Batman!
There is a lot of empty space in the background, and this would be another prime example of an image that would look great with some background details added.
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.
It would also look cool with some more vibrant colors, and you could create some interesting effects that show the character’s insanity if you want to get creative!
We shall close off this collection of Joker coloring pages with one more look at the classic Heath Ledger Joker. He has a really distinctive look in the movie, and this page captures it brilliantly.
