As good as Jack was as the Joker, I always assumed (incorrectly) that given his star status and somehwhat prickly public persona, this role was just a paycheck to him. It is fascinating, and satisfying, to learn that I was wrong and not only was he really involved creatively with the development of the make-up, but that he also clearly was invested in getting the character from the comic books to leap from the page and not be silly. Fantastic.

@@knightofarkronia8652 Yeah but not comic silly for the film -- not Romero silly. That's not a dig at Romero, his Joker was right for the 60s TV show. Batman '89 was expressly trying to lean away from that and more toward the tone of the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel. Nicholson understood the assignment, hence the debate over hair coloring. His Joker was "real-world" silly yet fiendish, deranged.

the performer really makes the character, the best example being heath ledger's joker. if someone else played that joker, it would be absolutely nothing like heath's, almost everything memorable about him was made up by him. the lip licking thing he does was actually because the prosthetics for his scars would come loose, and he had to lick his lips a lot to keep them in place, and he decided that he could implement that into the character by emphasising that his face is scarred

What I love about Nicholson’s Joker, aside from his overall performance, is how the design is near 1:1 with the source material; in particular, he’s the only live-action Joker to have a literal permanent smile, which is just expertly realised. That’s not to criticise previous, or later, iterations but it an element of the character I really admire the team behind Batman ‘89 for incorporating… also, if anyone was going to pull it off, Jack Nicholson man (at the time) to do so.

I love Jack Nicholson’s Joker and will always be one of my favorites!

It's really sad that Jack Nicholson doesn't get much attention and isn't active anymore. He has a very very unique voice and character. A man like him should be there on the big screen every year. His sense of humour is incredible, and imagine him in horror movies as a serial killer.

I don't think anybody can deny that Jack Nicholson pulled off an absolutely amazing rendition of Jack Nicholson for this movie.

No disrespect to Ledger or his memory, but his Joker always felt to me like as if he was an evil villain who liked putting a Joker makeup on. Jack Nicholson to me was the Joker. From his voice, the way he spoke, his facial expressions to his acting, he would have been the ultimate Joker if the makeup department was as advanced as today or maybe his makeup a little different. Same thing with Batman. I haven't seen anyone nail it as much as Michael Keaton.

@TheWilkReport

I always felt that Nicholson managed to take what Caesar Romero had built upon playing the Joker and using that as his template, took it to its logical extreme. He did on screen what Romero couldn't because the censors and writers of the time simply didn't allow for him to go all-out. But that in no way diminishes Nicholson's performance-he basically took ownership of the part and left a solid foundation for Mark Hamill to work with when that actor did the Batman Animated Series.

Jack’s joker still scares me after 30 years

Big thanks to Conrad Veidt and his performance in the movie The Man Who Laughs in 1928 which served as inspiration for the Joker character.

I LOVE Jack Nicholson's Joker!! They both did great in Batman! Oh, he was just fantastic!! My favorite classic Batman movie, cause it gives Joker his background!! 😍👌

One of THE BEST and my all time favorite Joker portrayals. Then came Heath Ledger WOW...!!!

Indeed. It was enough Comic Book, but enough realism at the same time. The newer ones were too dark, and the older ones too campy.

Jack Nicholson best joker and Michael Keaton best Batman 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Most mesmerizing joker with real life grin. Was haunting for years to come

That thumbnail scared the living shit outta me

Jack Nicolson is the best Joker in terms of the psychotic version... whereas Heath Ledger was the more narcissistic planning villian.

I dunno Ledger's was preeetty psychotic if you ask me. Also narcissistic would mean that he has an excessive interest in himself or the way he looks. I don't think that accurately describes Ledger's Joker xD

@@Beneficialitificul Joker has always been, to my understanding, a balancing act: 50% clown and 50% psycho. Nicholson came fairly close, leaning a bit more to the clownish side, whereas Ledger leaned far to the psycho side with a greatly reduced clownish side.

@@donaldwatson7698 Yes, totally. There was little clownishness in Ledger's Joker but a whole lot of dark'. His Joker was anarchic - which he basically says so himself, or another character says about him, in the film. While there's at least one line in that film where someone says something to the effect of "He just wants to cause chaos"...

My fav and Best of all Jokers Mr. Nicholson

I've wondered for years how they did the Jokers make up. Especially that smile.

Before they were starting to film this, Batman's creator Bob Kane himself said that Jack Nicholson should be casted as Joker.

Batman was created by bill finger, Bob Kane wanted to make a rip-off, bill finger came up with everything we know about the character today. So don’t give bob any credit about batman, it was all bill

Jack Nicholson undoubtedly had the best performance and appearance, it's not even a question when one actually examines the behavioral history of the character.

I'll be watching more of these behind the scenes for the 90's Batman films. Grew up watching them but had never seen the behind the scenes footage. Thank you for uploading!
