OC AUTO SHOW: Fisker Shows Off The Joker-Inspired Karma - Is It More Jack Nicholson Or Heath Ledger?

This past week was an interesting one for Fisker.

During this week's historical first in three debates between President Barack Obama and presidential hopeful, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Romney rightfully called out Tesla and Fisker as one of Obama's green energy "losers." Not exactly a word I would want my company to be associated with.

Meanwhile, Fisker was able to secure approximately $100 million smackers in new capital to push forward the next-generation electric vehicles. Though we're not sure if those investors made the right choice, we're intrigued to see if the extra nine figures will be enough to get the Atlantic midsize sedan to market.

What I do know though is that while Agent 001 was at the Orange County Auto Show this week, he snapped an intriguing Fisker Karma that was wrapped or painted in a color we're dubbing "Joker Purple."

For those of you not familiar with the Batman series, the Joker is typically seen wearing his purple suit.

When paired up with the wiiide grille, we find ourselves chuckling at its uncanny resemblance to the Joker's trademark facial scars.

That said, who's Joker is it most in line with: Jack Nicholson's or Heath Ledger's?
