The Joker’s makeup in this movie was purposefully made to look ‘antique’. His lips were made a reddish-brown to look like the color of blood. According to the head of makeup, Nicki Ledermann, “even his slanted smile is a metaphor that everything is not perfect. Maybe it’s funny — maybe it’s not.”

In the comics, it’s heavily hinted that the Joker is well aware of who Batman is and what his true identity is, only he doesn’t care. One example that leads fans to believe the Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne is when he targeted someone close to Bruce: Alfred. A lot of fans speculate that the Joker seems to think that Bruce Wayne is a mask for Batman, rather than the other way around. Another interesting theory is that despite the fact that the Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, he would be bored to death if either persona were harmed.
