Description
Ok...picture this: You've just finished watching The Dark Knight. You're still sitting in your seats, watching the credits go by and rockin' to the amazing score. The credits are over, the screen goes black for a few seconds...and then this scene comes on.I planned this little scenario before I went to see the Dark Knight. I really, really, really wanted Harley Quinn to finally make an appearance in the Batman movies, so i figured if they didn't kill the Joker off (which i was hoping they wouldn't because you just can't kill the Joker if you want to be true to the comics.) this was how i wanted her to do it. Unfortunately, nothing like this happened...but i can pretend it did.
I did this all with a tablet and Photoshop CS2: the sketch, drawing and color. It was a great way to get comfortable with the workings of the tablet and just to see what it was like to draw with. It was surprisingly not as hard as i thought it would be.

It would have been brilliant if this did happen. Still this is great.

kind of sucks it didn't happen

Yeah, but it wouldn't have worked if they did because if they made Harley the villian of the next villian in the series they would need to incorporate scenes with the Joker. With Ledger dead and his performance so spot on it would feel just clunky having someone else fill his shoes even for a short time.

The Joker is timeless. Heath was great but slap some make up on another actor and move on with it. I'm sure lots of actor's could do the part justice. I wouldn't have a problem with it whatsoever.
And I agree that this would have made a fabulous ending scene to TDK. Great job!

Actually, it's funny you mention all that. There's a video on youtube called 'Call Me Mr. J' that not only uses the Harley Quinn thing beautifully, but has a magnificent Joker. He does mimic a lot of Ledger style, but adds his own flare, which is good 'cause it takes place immediately after the movie. It's a fan film, but it is almost good enough for inclusion in the real film and it most certainly proved me wrong.

I just watched that fan film the other day. I thought it was pretty good as well.

The third and fourth panels are my favourite. They just seem pure Joker to me.

The Dark Knight just about made my life, and I'm generally not a fan of Batman at all.

Too bad this can never happen in the movies. ;___;

i know...as depressing as that may be. 
Unless they could possibly find an actor who could emulate Heath's performance.

I dunno, should they even try? I can imagine that a lot of people would be excited, but even more people would be outraged if they even attempted to replace Heath.

Amazing comic.
A little ode to the animation series too.
And wow, that would have been so amazing! It's so unfortunate that we'll never get to see Heath!Joker with a Harley.

thanks.
Um...i don't really have anyone in mind. although the actress (i don't know her name) that they were throwing around when there were rumors that harley would be in the movies would have been a good choice.
