A Glasgow smile is a gang scare originated from Scotland, and was how the gang would scar their enemies. It’s usually done with knifes but often credit cards were used to keep the mouth open.
He wanted his scars to be different from anything else people had seen – The Joker in the comic books didn’t have any scarring, but that didn’t stop him.
Tommy Flanagan from Sons of Anarchy has a similar scar, but his are real from a time that he got jumped after a bar fight.
Heath Ledger died shortly after filming finished, and rumours sparked that the effects of his commitment to his role of The Joker led to his depression.
He wasn’t around to promote the movie, and left it with an air of sadness around it.
He was also involved in the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus but wasn’t able to finish it. Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp and Jude Law stepped in to play variations of Ledger to complete the filming. Instead of collecting their paychecks, they donated them to Heath’s daughter Matilda. According to sources, Heath hadn’t updated his will to include his daughter, so the actors gave up their paychecks to go towards her future care.
During the bank robbery scene, The Joker is seen wearing a very unusual mask that you wouldn’t normally picture on The Joker. However there is some symbolism to the choice of the mask – a very similar mask was seen in an episode of a 1960’s Batman series. The mask has quite a bit of history since Cesar Romero wore it.
