To celebrate Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning performance as The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s 2008 masterpiece, The Dark Knight, Entertainment Earth has produced “The Dark Knight Joker Jack in the Box.” When you crank the handle and and get to the “pop” part of the “Pop Goes the Weasel” melody, Ledger’s Joker pops out of the box.
