Otakon 2008 – page 6
If you were there, you know it’s true. Joker is the new L.
(Historical Note: I would say that it’s equally quaint to talk about Dark Knight now as it is Death Note, but I’m writing this just a little after the Joker movie came out, so maybe everything comes full circle?)
I totally forgot about the large number of Joker cosplayers! I remembered there were a lot of Sakura Haruno cosplayers (including my childhood friend), and the only day I went was the day Bernie Mac died.
It’s me again, almost a year later! I recently remembered why there were a lot of Joker cosplayers at Otakon that year! Heath Ledger had recently died at the time so I think a lot of people were paying homage to him by cosplaying as Joker.
