The Man Who Laughs - film review

quote [ Conrad Veidt’s performance is absolutely superb. The make-up artist who created his look also deserves special praise. Jack Pierce’s work became a direct influence for The Joker in early Batman comics and the onscreen adaptations that followed. Today, this is what The Man Who Laughs is likely best remembered for although the lighting and atmosphere of Paul Leni’s film would also serve as an inspiration for many of the Universal Studio’s horror movies that followed ]

Interesting review. Did not watch this one. But behold– it's available online.

I loved that movie. Another possible inspiration for Batman besides The Mark of Zorro was The Bat Whispers. Not a great film but it's on YouTube and the Internet Archive. He was a master criminal (a bat burglar, if you will) who wore a black cowl and a Batman cape.
