The concept they went with as we all know created history, so I couldn't imagine them going with the earlier ones, simply because of the fact that the earlier concept(s) looks too creepy and would not sit well with many audiences as they want to see the face not look away from it or look at it with disgust. Another important factor that would go against the earlier concept(s) would be that you cannot see and relate with the emotions the joker character would emote and would not evoke sympathy or any such feelings. Heath Ledger, has portrayed the character so brilliantly, his emotions, everything came accross with such impact with his sheer acting brilliance, its simply amazing. He portrayed and redefined the joker in a realistic yet fascinating way. Heath's joker will remain legendary. R.I.P. Heath Ledger ~Gone but not forgotten~
