Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has played little this NFL season while recovering from injury. With extra time off the field, he created an impressive Halloween costume.
Burrow dressed as Batman’s iconic clown-like foe, the Joker. This character is a popular pick at costume parties, Halloween events, and comic conventions, often inspired by the Heath Ledger version from The Dark Knight.
The makeup choice is always tricky with the Joker, especially when grease paint overlaps a mustache, but Burrow’s look was well executed.
"Burrow went with the Ledger-style Joker, and, in my opinion, that means you have to do it right since it's so common. In the end, it was a pretty solid attempt. The makeup looks good, and he's got that wild, greasy-looking green hair down, too."
Let's all hope he didn’t attempt the Joker’s voice.
Summary: Joe Burrow, amid injury downtime, crafted a striking Heath Ledger Joker costume, showcasing impressive makeup and authentic styling.
