He was a good actor, but a terrible Joker. It's not his fault though, it's what the movie makers wanted. They did his make up, wrote the words, put him in those clothes.
The Joker didn't use knock out gas... he used poison gas. He didn't leave cards that could be analyzed, he left cards that blew up! He didn't trap people to kill them in some contraption.... he shot them between the eyes.
He's a serial killer... and what they did to his character for tv and the movies and the even the comics for a while was terrible.
But I guess it all came at a time when people didn't want their kids reading about that. It was too..... "dark".

exactly, the Joker was such a good charachter, but he was reworked so make him look like a common prankster and not a real thread LONG ago, and these "Batman" movies have sucked since the first, although I thought Michael Keaton did a better Batman than I wouldve thought.
The Joker has been made into a clown and Nicholson probably never read a real Joker comic bubble in his life, nor heath Ledger for that matter. These are Hollywood actors being told what to do, they have no concept or idea about tha actual charachter so you cant blame them, but its always the same with comic book turned movie themes, they always change the charachters.
WOLVERINE DIDNT WEAR BLACK EITHER! he wore yellow, but we all know, they were not going to do that for a movie...
I remember reading Wolverine like it was yesterday, then come the TV movie versions and the couch potatos then become comic fans.
it amazes me.
people never heard of Xmen or Wolverine now everyone thinks they are an authority on Xmen abilities LOL
the movies are full of shit folks, the comics are the bible when it comes to their charachters powers and personality.
