Ledger was at the perfect time for me, when I was 17 and just starting to take movies seriously as an art form. His portrayal may always be my favorite in live action, but we’ll see. I was excited to see what Leto did with the role following his career performance in Dallas Buyers Club, and well... he was shit. Nicholson and Hamill were my Jokers as a kid. I guess I would say Ledger, Phoenix, Nicholson, Romero, and Leto, but Hamill is still my idea of the quintessential Joker, live action or not.
