Upon beginning my costume research via the movie on Blu-Ray, I was immediately surprised by two things: the plethora of subtle details on the Joker’s costume that I’d never seen before, and the sheer number of different costumes he actually wore over the course of the movie!Although I’d watched Batman dozens of times on VHS growing up, and a few times on DVD as an adult, I’d never really paid any specific attention to the costumes. ( Music’s always been my thing.)

The brilliant Ed Harris plays NASA’s flight director Gene Kranz in the film Apollo 13, throughout which he wears a white waistcoat. The real life Kranz did indeed wear waistcoats. In fact they became his trademark, not least because his wife Marta made them for him. To replicate this style you will need a simple formal suit which should be red in color. You will undoubtedly find a red suit easier online than in a shop. This iconic costume, designed by Bob Ringwood, was a fabulous and memorable piece, still instantly-recognizable decades later.

Under the waistcoat you will need to wear a shirt. This shirt should have be buttoned all the way up including the collar. When Arthur transforms into Joker, his guise is driven by his past. “As Arthur progresses, we made little movements toward darker colors in his wardrobe right before he becomes Joker to echo what goes on emotionally for him in the story,” Bridges says. All the wives sewed, and I began making vests for Gene,” Marta Kranz recalled in an April 2010 article by Owen Edwards for Smithsonian Magazine. “Gene wanted some kind of symbol for his team to rally around. I suggested a vest… There were three Mission Control teams—red, white and blue—and Gene’s was the white team, so his vests were always white.” Makeup is an essential part of the Joker costume. While replicating the makeup may seem daunting it is actually quite easy to copy.
