In preparation for his role as The Joker, Heath Ledger hid away in a motel room for about six weeks. During this extended stay of seclusion, Ledger delved deep into the psychology of the character. He devoted himself to developing The Joker's every tic, namely the voice and that sadistic-sounding laugh. Ledger's interpretation of The Joker's appearance was primarily based off of the chaotic, disheveled look of punk rocker Sid Vicious combined with the psychotic mannerisms of Malcolm McDowell's character, Alex De Large, from A Clockwork Orange (1971).

this is a questionable misconception, as the cartilage in each won't shrink as the rest of the body does with decomposition, and they protrude and appear larger in death as the rest of the body dries up. same with fingernails and hair. the only thing that grows in a corpse is a bunch of bugs and bacteria.
