Man this is really is apples and oranges. I saw Batman(1989) yesterday and Nicholson really is entertaining threatning at the same time but I just cant see past Jack himself whereas with Ledger you really just see a character rather than an actor.
That said though whenever I read a Batman comic I only ever use use mark hamils voice without even thinking about it.

Mark Hamill in Arkham Asylum is one of my favorite performances of Batman, but if I have to choose a movie one it would be Jack Nicholson.
I loved the Heath Ledger Joker, but I hated his make-up job. I only vaguely remember the Jack Nicholson Joker, as I hate Michael Keaton too much to even consider rewatching Tim Burton's Batman.
The real question is, why isn't the Joker from Batman the Animated series present? He was a fantastic character in his own right.

Heath Ledger did an awesome job, but if he were still alive this poll would be tied. Nicholas Chuck Norris'd the Batplane right out of the sky.
The poster above me has a good point, besides Keaton being a horrible Batman. The animated Joker was pretty good.
Jack Nicholas- Genuinely crazy.
Heath Ledger- "Agent of Chaos" in his own words.
Animated- Just demonic, and I think the most evil out of the three. It's debatable how much Nicholas was responsible for his actions, and Ledger is really running a huge behavior experiment, but the animated Joker isn't all that crazy, even if he was psychotic. Who else keeps two hyenas as pets?

I wish i could say Jack's Joker, then i'd be all edgy and cool.
But i can't, because i massively prefer Ledgers.

Heath ledger did a really good job of the psychotic im gonna cut yourface off bit, i did really like nicholsons joker and i do think theyre 2 completely different chars that cant really be compared but i think if i had to choose one or the other id have to go with Ledger.
Out of these two, I will pick Heath Ledger. However, I will agree with everybody else, that Mark Hamill did an amazing job, and with his preformance in Arkham Asylum, he is the one, true joker.
However, I would rank whoever plays the joker in the "Joker Blogs" on youtube as second. Heck, the joker portrayed there is almost a fusion between heath's and hamil's in terms of personality (but not appearance). I say they hire the writing crew and the guy who plays that joker if they are going to have him make a return in the third batman movie (You know it to be true)

Between the two of them I'd have to go with Nicholson. Ledger's performance, as exceptional as it was, just didn't have that 'Joker' feel to it.
Overall though I'd have to say Mark Hamill has done the best Joker. That laugh of his just chills you to the bone.

I'm not sure if the problem here is so much semantics as it is a difference of opinions.Frequen-Z said:
Personally, I think it's the nonchalant, happy way the Joker goes about his "work" that both horrifies and creeps me out. Doom and gloom isn't creepy to me. Friday XIII isn't really all that creepy, and it's full of gloomy, doomy lakeside murders. Krueger is, BECAUSE of how what he does and how he does it is just so...so alien. Krueger's creatively sadistic and gleefully so.
And so, in my mind, wearing a classic tourist outfit while gleefully disabling and undressing a main character as though she were just another scenic attraction? That's creepy. Laughing manaically as you shoot a woman in a room full of babies? That's creepy. Horrifying, terrible, inhuman, AND CREEPY.
Society -both real and imaginary- is full serial murderers and other monsterous people, but none go about their work with quite the same...aplomb. For me, it's not WHAT he does. It's HOW he does it.
Heath Ledger was brilliant. Can't really say much about Jack Nicholson, I didn't sit through the original movies long enough.

The animated joker voiced by Mark Hamill.
Hands down the best one.
But i do like the Joker from The Batman voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson too.
But out of the 2 on the poll?
Heath Ledger

Really? I found Ledger's Joker more psychotic... Jack Nicholson (although I respect him much more as an actor) seemed a bit too silly to me.NightShadeNes said:
