To me is more like this: Jack Nicholson : The Histrionic (Jack Napier was the gangster, once he becomes The Joker, he gets rid of the mob, and was no gangster anymore) Heath Ledger : The fascist terrorist (He talks about chaos and anarchy, but wanted a whole city to do his Will, that´s not Anarchy, those are more the methods of a dictator) Joaquin Phoenix : The true Nihilistic Anarchist. Cameron Monaghan : The sociopath (Jerome Valeska) and The Psychopath (Jeremiah Valeska) Jared Leto: A transgender Catwoman on meth in a weird multiverse.

Honestly I feel so bad for Jered Leto, if you see interviews of Leto before he began his role you can tell his idea of joker was definitely what Joaquin Phoenix’s joker ended up being. You could see the sparkle in his eyes as he talked about his role. I genuinely believe he would have been a wonderful joker if they hadn’t made him an e-boy.

I think the issue is that Health Ledger perfectly captured the joker as someone with the ultimate dark twisted sense of humor who thrives on chaos. It's difficult to tap into that. Phoenix does a good job showing how someone could be driven to madness and murder, but I could not imagine the Phoenix joker pulling off any of the heists or things that the Ledger joker does.

Because he is one of the best villains ever created.

Like “if you’re good at something, never do it for free”. Most of us feared and loved him at the same time while growing up. Just imagine trying to play this role and create that feeling in your audience. Most people and villains fear losing something but the joker literally has nothing to loose.

Mark Hammill was CRUCIAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT of Joker from his role on the Animated series! Many actors used his persona and portrayal as a heavy reference point!

I like Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker, but I think most of the Joker's bring something special to the role. Heath portrayed the chaotic destructive force of insanity that the Joker can embody. Jack Nicholson embodied the more classic criminal mastermind Joker Joaquin Phoenix embodied the more humane side and the fall into Darkness that likely leads to the creation of the Joker persona. Heath and Joaquin both portray Joker well as the unreliable narrator that likes to make his origin multiple choice as well. Cameron Monaghan did a great job portraying three versions of the Joker. But he had a lot more screentime to refine the character.

Oddly enough Christopher Nolan filmed scenes of Joker and Batman in a surf competition but ended up cutting it because it was too good.

@Zachary Gordon the suicide squad joker is jared Letos joker dumbass🤦 did u even watched the video? Heaths potray as joker was indeed one of the best

If I were to rank the actors I would go with 1. Joaquin Phoenix: I know I know Ledger is everyone's favorite but watching the physical brutality Joaquin put himself through when he was preparing is just astonishing, the body language throughout the film is a treat to watch and having him on screen the whole time really helped 2. Heath Ledger: One of the greatest performances in film history, Heath did incredible and nailed the mental side of things where as Joaquin nailed the physical side 3. Jack Nicholson: Brought a proper dark side to the character as well as seriousness which forever shaped the future of the Joker as a film character 4. Mark Hamil: I know he only did voice acting but in terms of an animated Joker no one does it quite like Hamil but I'm also glad it stays as just a vocal preformance because I don't think he would do physically very well for the character 5. Jared Leto: Only thing saving this preformance is the fact that Jared took the role seriously and the movie took the character seriously 6. Cesar Romero: I'm sorry but this preformance was beyond ridiculous and can't be looked at seriously

Jack Nicholson is the quintessential joker. He mixed in Cagney from White Heat w/ some Romero into his toolkit for the role. I’m always interested to see different interpretations & flowing creativity. I want to have fun. Everyone’s so stuck on this character. Like Joker said “Why so serious?” “This town needs an enima!”

Everyone: Jared Leto didn't take on the role seriously! Jared leto: *Took on the role seriously with his heart, mentally and physically.* The producers: Didn't take Jared's life's seriously with the script they handed him!

Most of the bad reviews from both critics and "audience" (i use that term sparingly since a lot of people just listen to what the media says without watching the film and deciding for themselves whether it was bad) come from the media that was branding it with a political affiliation; calling it a movie for "Incels" and "Alt-right" radicals. That is bullshit. I miss the days when movies could make statements or provoke thought without being branded with a political ideology or put with a group of people to be written off. If the movie wasn't boring, provoked thought and was generally well made, then it was a good movie. Critics, audiences and social media personalities are not good sources for whether something is good or bad. The only truly reliable way to know if it is good or bad is to watch it for 15 some odd bucks.

Oh, explaining why actors take playing the Joker so seriously is TIGHT!

The way people reacted when Heath Leger was cast made me always wait to see a movie before judging the acting choice. Like Robert Pattinson as Batman

A GREAT FILM TO WATCH to show his versatility!!! IM STILL HERE. that and Eslk the line are great examples of how Phoenix can TRULY IMMERSE himself into a role and TRULY become that individual! He and his brother River are 2 of the greatest of all time! (Bless and rest poor River's soul. The night he passed away at the Viper Room.... Flea from RHCP was there and actually rode in the ambulance tot he hospital with River) I still remember the night that happened! 💔💔💔💔😔😔😔😇😇

They all fit their respective movies really well, even Leto. He did a great job with the not so great writing he was given to work with. Following Ledger's heels, Leto had to do something a little different, if Phoenix had done his movie right after Ledger everyone would've said he tried to copy Ledger.

He doesn't look like a deranged psycho, he doesn't look like a crime lord, he doesn't look like a insane caricature of a clown, he doesn't look like anything the Joker is usually associated with. He looks like a gangsta. Maybe a crazy one, sure, but not The Joker. Could be someome that idolizes him or something like that, for sure, but most Joker incarnations don't even think they are crazy, even less so "damaged". Mouth hand was good tho.

Jack Nicholson like they said just let himself have fun with the role. Heath ledger showed his great acting ability.

And Joaquin Phoenix I think had to reel it in a little bit cause I believe he's already a little crazier than the Joker.

Heath Ledger is the most iconic joker- even my friends that aren’t huge fans of dc think so. It was honestly tragic when he passed away, and I feel like people don’t give him as much credit he deserves, even for his incredible role in “A Knight’s Tale.” We love you Heath, never forgotten. 😔🤍🤍

The role is also an academy award winning role, and can redefine an actor’s career trajectory.

I don’t know why but I find it funny thinking of Heath Ledger getting ready to act, like any normal person, and then he continues to do some of the most terrifying performances ever

Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, and David Bowie would have been a very interesting joker. Look at the way Joaquin took on the role, he gave us a very real performance on the fact that society can make you go mad and get you to your breaking point. And Heath Ledger was on a whole other level. I think what makes joker one of the best characters of all time is that whoever is portraying him, can make him unique. He’s such a flexible character so it’s cool to see how writers and actors will break the boundaries for him. I’d rather see Jared Leto portraying his version of the joker than see him try to copy Heath or anyone else for that matter. The joker is probably one of the most diverse characters in the history of cinema
