Who do you think played The Joker the best?

Personally i think it was Heath Ledger. Reason being, if you didn't originally know it was him playing the character, you wouldn't have been able to tell it was him as the performance was so good.

Cant realy compare them imo, two different jokers. ledger is alot more of a 'darker/serious' character where as nicholson's joker was alot more 'comical'. Both are class though. Picking my joker costume up today for a fancy dress party aswel lol

I honestly didnt believe it was Heath Ledger when I first saw a clip of him, he's gotta be the best imo :y:

Wouldnt have got half the praise if he had "accidently" over dosed on drugs and snuffed it.

Was a good performance but wasnt exactly epic.

recently watched the original Batman from 1989, Jack Nicholson makes the character very funny but Heath Ledgers performance was spooky and very convincing.

shame hes dead tbh a real talented actor

Deffo Heath, imagine Dickaprio pulling out a performance that makes you think, aaah hes not a faggot.... - exactly, you can't, he is that much of a faggot. Thats what makes Heaths performance so good!.

I like both and find you cant really compare. But Heath edges it

HOWEVER

If nicholson hadve been in the remake (obv not as on old codger - in his prime) he wouldve shit all over ledgers performance

I cannot decide between Nicholson or Ledger. Both very good in the two separate characters they were cast as.

Heath Ledger played it brilliantly and I'm not the kind of person who usually thinks about actors performances and stuff like that lol

The whole film was class :y:

Leger was a great act, although his death has definitely boosted the percieved performance. I'd have quite likes to see Johnny Depp have a bash at it tbh.

Heeeeeres the Joker! Cant knock with the nicolson though, hes a legend.
