Dark Knight on set with Joker & The Tumbler

Fox News in Chicago apparently has to spy on the set for Batman stuff just like a common blogger. They report, we scrutinize on inter-net.
Clip 1 shows the Tumbler parked with set crew working on it. Enjoy those cargo shorts.
Clip 2 shows the Joker… skateboarding? Hard to tell whats going on there.
Clip 3 begins with Heath Ledger as the Joker standing a bit more and then some more low speed Tumbler driving.

Sorry to disappoint but that is not Heath Ledger, it is his body double. I was an extra on set all weekend with them and I know the difference.

Actually that is Ledger, everyone knew about his love for skatboarding, I was also an extra for 16 days and anytime a scene involved him he would skatboard around between takes.

that is so awesome! i love behind-the-scenes stuff like this. heath ledger is a lot taller than i thought he was…
somehow i can’t put together this image with the joker, though. i guess it is how ledger acted, more than how he looked, that effectively showed the joker’s madness.

Yeah, thats actually Heath Ledger, Chris Nolan talked about it in an interview, how he skated around in full makeup and Nolan was worried that fans would think there was a skateboarding joker in the movie
