With Gotham now officially over the actors are spilling additional details about their characters including Cameron Monaghan gave us a behind the scenes look at the original look for his version of the Joker.
The image of Gotham‘s Joker came from Cameron Monaghan’s official Instagram account. The look, however, was a bit different then what was ultimately aired on Gotham. You might remember that Cameron Monaghan’s version of the Joker appeared to have aged significantly with plenty of wrinkles on his face and only a few thin strands of hair, clearly separating it from other versions of the Clown Prince of Crime. But it appears that the original look for Gotham‘s Joker wasn’t quite as extream.
In the image that Cameron Monaghan shared, this version of the Joker was clearly loosing hair but it wasn’t the same extream that we ultimately saw on Gotham. On a similar note, his face, while clearly aged well beyond his natural years, wasn’t quite as extream. It almost seemed that originally Gotham‘s producers wanted a bit more of a traditional look for Cameron Monaghan’s Joker before ultimately deciding to go a different route.
