The Joker Begins
carrotosaurus:
So it looks like they decided to make the Joker have facepaint instead of having his skin actually be that sickly white color. Kind of disappointing. Oh well.
3Z3VH:
Didn't they show in the first Batman movie that the Joker used makeup ? I'd say they did it in this just for continuity's sake.

No, they didn't. In the Burton version (Which I assume you mean as the first, though the '66 Adam West was the first one), he was permanently scarred and whitened. He wore flesh colored makeup in one scene when he vandalizes a museum on a "date" with Vale.
That said, I don't think it's going to be entirely makeup. I get the feeling it's just going to be a little blotchy and he "touches up" a bit with makeup. I have at least some faith that they won't contradict one of his most common and well known traits when it really just further complicates things (Unlike the organic web shooters in Spider-Man or the changes to Ra's in Begins).
Spinless:
Yes, except both those things only improved the movies for the casual film goer and freed up a lot of screen time.
Spiderman wouldn't have worked if he'd had to take the time to invent his webshooters.
Ra's Al Ghul wouldn't have worked in any other way in the context of Batman Begins. Besides, they didn't really change his character too much. You can just assume he has a daughter and uses the lazarus pits off camera. Most importantly, he LOOKED like Ra's Al Ghul and played a good character on the screen. He was one of the good parts of that movie.
Remember, if you die in a movie, you can ALWAYS come back.

I don't see the except. You pretty much just completely repeated my point. Having him wear makeup is an unnecessary change that only takes away from the character compared to the idea that neither Spider-Man's or Ra's Al Ghul's changes were a real detraction.
