The Joker's appearance... Copied!?

Christopher Nolan's 2008 mega success about Batman's attempts to defeat a criminal mastermind known only as the Joker.
Since it's around halloween I was watching Beetlejuice, and while watching it struck me that he looks almost EXATLY like the Joker! Right down to the makeup around the eyes! Has anyone else ever noticed this?

Also, Michael Keaton played Beetlejuice, AND Batman! Coencidence? :D Not to mention his performance reminded me alot of Jack Nicholson's in the Shining, who ALSO played the Joker!

And also ever heard of the Crow stuff?

Look, I just thought it was interesting. I sincerely apologize if ppl noticed this 2 years ago! :D (though I searched, and nothing relevant came up on Nolanfans)
