The best Joker? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Man · 11-26-2008, 03:33 PM

Who do you think did the best Job playing the Joker. I know alot of people on this site are into the classics such as Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson. and then theres people who love the cartoons over the movies and might enjoy Mark Hamill the most. Then theirs people who love the late Heath Ledger Joker. I bet you can tell who I like the best.

Well I'd say that Mark Hamill is the best voice and "classic" style Joker. But Heath Ledger was the best live action Joker.

While I enjoyed Ledger's performance, I think it was hyped up too much. Nicholson for me.

Mark Hamil is the Joker for me.

I don't always agree with all the hype. But this time heath lived up to it.
#1 heath
#2 Nicholson

I love Mark Hamill as Mr. J, but i loved Heath as well. But Mark is doing Joker in Arkham Asylum, so i voted for him

GarettP · 11-26-2008, 03:53 PM

Heath by far was the best performance I have seen! If I wouldn't have known it was him I would still be trying to figure out who it was.

Jack is 2nd and it is not close!

It's tough to pick a favorite, as I feel each was perfect in their given movie/show. Romero fit the campy style of the old show flawlessly (the painted over mustache was priceless!) and Hamill's voice became as definitive for the Joker as Kevin Conroy's voice for Batman. As for the 2 main film versions, again, they each fit their film's world perfectly. Nicholson's Joker fit Burton's world and Ledger's Joker fit Nolan's world. Swap them, and the fit wouldn't have been as great. At the end of the day, we've never really had a bad Joker. Damn, I can't pick a favorite.

mgrimsley · 11-26-2008, 03:58 PM

I always thought Jeremy Beadle was the best joker :-)

dvd_mazter · 11-26-2008, 03:58 PM

Heath Ledger was just so amazing as The Joker. His performance was chilling and menacing.

Gremal · 11-26-2008, 04:03 PM

Jack played Jack. Heath played the Joker.

McLovin · 11-26-2008, 04:03 PM

While I love Jack and thought no one could possibly be a better Joker, Ledger blew him out of the water.

Jackeroo75 · 11-26-2008, 04:04 PM

Wil Smith because he is a master on acting.

Red Hood · 11-26-2008, 04:04 PM

jack. Hamills joker voice is great though.

GeneD5 · 11-26-2008, 04:05 PM

def Ledger for me...so very entertaining

Well put.

Jack Nicholson played the best Joker IMO. He brought the real crazy to the table...

Think this will be a one sided poll though as most people on this forum seem to worship either Bale or Ledger... or Will Smith
