Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow hasn’t seen much action this NFL season as he continues to recover from an injury. With extra downtime, he decided to embrace the Halloween spirit in style.
Burrow chose one of the most famous comic book villains for his costume — Batman’s archenemy, the Joker. While the character has been portrayed in many ways over the years, Burrow followed the interpretation made iconic by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
“Let’s just all hope he didn’t try to do the voice.”
The Joker remains a popular choice at parties and events, with most people imitating Ledger’s version. Others sometimes attempt Joaquin Phoenix’s or Jack Nicholson’s styles, but you rarely see Jared Leto’s take, and Cesar Romero’s classic Joker has become a rarity.
According to the report, Burrow’s effort paid off — his makeup was sharp, and his green-dyed hair completed the classic chaotic look. It was a convincing portrayal that showed his attention to detail.
During his injury recovery, Joe Burrow impressed fans with a faithful Heath Ledger-inspired Joker costume that captured the chaotic charm of the iconic villain.
