Charles Manson / The Joker

Da Luz: "This one was another inspiration for the original concept of the series. I was watching an interview with Manson in the 70s and I was completely amazed at how he reminded me of the Joker as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Not just physically -- but the expressions, the way he moves, the way he talks, the voice tone, everything. I bet that is why this result is so brilliant and realistically terrifying."
