Joe Burrow Channels Heath Ledger’s Joker For Halloween
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has had limited playing time this NFL season due to injury recovery. With extra free time, he created an impressive Halloween costume inspired by one of Batman's most iconic villains, the Joker.
The Classic Joker Look
At many Halloween events and comic conventions, the Joker costume is very popular. Most people choose the Heath Ledger version from The Dark Knight, though some opt for Joaquin Phoenix or Jack Nicholson's interpretations. The Jared Leto version is rarely seen and the Cesar Romero classic is considered outdated.
