Bonus: If we look at the initial Joker teaser for "The Dark Knight," we see the same imagery again -- eyes and bird/bat shape -- but this time, separated out:
What is it about this particular symbolism -- bird-figure and eyes superimposed -- that leads it to be used so much, and attract such weird energy?
Horus, maybe?
UPDATE: Oh, I get it now...the "look" of Johnny Depp in "The Lone Ranger" is taken from a painting called "I Am Crow":
Depp, of course, filled in for his late friend Heath Ledger in the movie "The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus":
Oh, and here's the crow tattoo Depp received on September of this year, in specific tribute to the original Crow movie from 1994:
"...And if it looks familiar, ask yourself one question: Why So Serious? Yes, the first poster for the film features Johnny Depp's eyes and face mask makeup in a wild smear reminiscent of The Joker's appearance on The Dark Knight posters back in 2008."
It's interesting to me that the first connection THR would make is to Heath Ledger's Joker, not the Crow. I saw the connections to both, but it seems more obvious with Crow. Either way, it's still quite interesting how entwined the symbolism and stars from these 3 movies are.
