...isn't Joker supposed to be bleeding from the eyes in that last shot?

[cyberghostface]

Depends on the version. The original script and coloring has him just crying. Bolland added the blood in his recolor.

I've always preferred the original coloring. I think there's intended to be some ambiguity as to whether he's crying or it's just water dripping from his face, and the bloody tears completely remove that.

Yeah I like the recolor but the bloody eyes is one of the changes I felt was unnecessary.

Even all these years later, there's still something so blood-freezing about that illustration. I think it's the eyes -- the way he's breaking the fourth wall and looking right at you.
