The Joker from the latest Batman film, the Dark Knight, was one of the highlights of the film. His menacing laugh and his trademark look - all of which created the ultimate villain. He was a psychopath set on destroying Batman and didn't care what got in the way. That is what makes him so scary, and such a good option for a Halloween costume.

This is one of the most popular costume choices this year, so it is a good idea to try and sort your costume out early. The easiest thing is to buy your costume online, there are a few available but I found that the Grand Heritage Collection costume was by far the best quality.

The Best Costume Available

The Grand Heritage Collection costume is an officially licensed costume and is the best quality I came across, as well as the best likeness of the Joker with the menacing face. I have tested it out already and it was worth every penny. It includes the trademark colorful joker outfit - the long purple coat, trousers and the shirt, tie and waistcoat combination. It is the perfect outfit for Halloween, and this version is the official, top quality version of the costume.

The Jokers Mask - The Most Important Accessory!

If you are trying to get the most authentic and realistic looking Dark Knight Joker then you absolutely must get an authentic looking mask to complete your costume. This was one of the big reasons that I decided to get the Batman Dark Knight Joker Grand Heritage collection because it comes with a very realistic looking joker mask. Not only that you also get one of the really important features of this joker and that's the hair. Another compelling reason to get the grand Heritage collection is the make up that comes with it which is perfect to get you looking exactly how you want.

Customize Your Makeup

To really complete the look and add that unique touch to the costume, the Grand Heritage edition of the Joker outfit comes with a makeup kit. This lets you create your own white face along with trademark red mouth and scars. Use this with the mask included to really pull off a unique, high quality Joker look. The makeup kit specifically consists in white cream makeup, red makeup stick for the lips, as well as mouth scars and a facial adhesive for a really realistic look.

More Great Costume Tips

The Grand Heritage collection costume came with everything that I could have wanted to complete an amazing Joker outfit. I ended up getting mine in medium size but of course you can also get this costume in large or extra large. One of the best things about this costume and I'm sure you'll agree is the ability to be an individual with the make-up effects, rather than just having a rubber mask and looking the same each time, the make up allows you to be a little bit different when you want to. Why not get a friend or relative to dress up as Batman and even Robin as well to really complete the Batman theme. With the success of the film Batman is extremely hot right now and by far the most popular theme this year so make sure you get in early as these costumes are sure to go quick.
