I'm pretty sure that's because it's the stunt suit, which is very baggy for added maneuverability.
To me, the new suit looks bulky in every pic’s – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Batman looks pretty menacing in the interrogation shots.

Still don't know how I feel about the Joker just applying his own makeup. Strangely, even though we have all this visual proof that that is what he is doing most of the "insiders" are still saying that he's permanently white. The only explanation that makes sense is that the bleaching is splotchy and he uses the white makeup to fill it in.
Good point. Maybe the messy close-up is what he looks like without the make-up and hair dye?
I would find it odd if Nolan thought the bleached skin origin was too “unrealistic.” I don’t see how it's any more of a stretch than the hydro weapon, Scarecrow’s fear toxin, the League of Shadows, or Batman himself.
At any rate, I hope that at some point in the film, Nolan intercuts shots of Batman suiting-up with Joker applying his make-up.

Hmm... I didn't really care about the new batsuit before, but now it seems a bit silly to me.
I’m actually starting to warm-up to the new Batsuit. For whatever reason, it reminds me of the old Batman serials.

However I can't reiterate enough how awesome Ledger looks….
Overall, the TDK Joker is a good synthesis of the traditional Joker and a new Neo-punk/Yakuza style.
Besides the make-up, the wardrobe helps the character come alive. You have to give credit to Heath for losing weight and the costume designers for adopting the Joker’s patented slim-fit tailoring.
