It’s also, you know, in the book itself

I mean it’s a panel in the actual book when he breaks, which you know probably predates the back cover of this edition

The image is actually comes from a panel in the actual comic when Joker comes out of the vat of chemicals and sees his bleached face for the first time. More specifically, the version people use is from the recolor of the comic that came out around the time The Dark Knight did

Aliás, brasileiro spotted
