You may remember my previous post confirming the existence of Batman via that of Ra's Al Ghul. Imagine my surprise when I inadvertently found further proof in Philadelphia's Rodin Museum.
Those sunken, angular cheekbones. That crazy-as-balls hairline.
Rodin sculpted The Joker.
You doubt me? Check the larger version.
It's complete with Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez-esque little bolo/cape-tie tassles and everything!
That's right, Rodin sculpted The Joker.
These busts were erroneously labeled as being a 19th century French-Canadian priest and canonized saint, but seeing as The Joker once held diplomatic immunity as representative of a middle-eastern country, (in the 80's) I don't find this all that hard to reconcile. He's The Joker.
And don't you forget it.

Huh?
I just noticed that Green Lantern villain Sinestro and Incredible Hulk villain The Leader tend to look an awful lot alike in black and white. Check it out.
Giant waterhead? Check. Pencilly mustache? Check. Overdone brow furrows and widows peak? That's a big double-check.
PS -- Sinestro pre-dated The Leader as a character by roughly 3 years. (Eat it Marvel!!)
Furthermore, yes, I'm still alive.
