Who played a better joker?
 

They both did a great job playing the Joker. Who did the best job in your opinion?

I've always liked Jack.he was great

Jack, because, well, he's Jack. Heath couldn't pull off anything nearly as deranged as Jack can.

Ledger was a MUCH darker Joker, perfect for the tone of the movie.

While I remember loving the Tim Burton Batman movie, I tried watching it last night as it was on TV and realized what a crappy movie it really is.

These two new "takes" on the characters are soooo much better.

I like Ledger, more sinister

people like jack nicholson just because of who he is....and if heath ledger wasnt being compared to him like it was a popularity contest, they would hands down say that he kicked ass as the crazy/evil joker!! he was def on the level of freddy krueger with the creepiness!

Ledger hands down..But each played the perfect part for the movie they were each in.

:1orglaugh

Too funny. Same thing happened with me. I loved that movie as a kid. Watched it not too long ago and said, "Wow, this movie is complete garbage."

I tried watching Batman and Robin this weekend before seeing The Dark Knight and THAT was a horrible abomination of a movie. Thank god for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight!

havent seen the last one. Will this week!

Ledger was perfect. A very evil joker.

I thought they were both amazing. The first 2 Batmans were favorites of mine as a kid. That being said, I have much darker tastes now and I thought Ledger did portrayed a very sinister and evil Joker perfectly.

Didn't see the new joker yet, but noone can play a lunatic psycho maniac like Jack can. I still get chills from the shining.

Not a fair comparison. I'm sure they didn't tell each one to just act deranged and that was that.

You can' say that till you see the movie. I thought the same thing Ledger was really creepy and played it much closer to the way it was supposed to be done based on the novels.

Ledger was amazing, and the movie rocked

Jack as the joker has many famous lines in his role. How many will Ledger have? Haven't seen it yet.

I think Jack started it off in the right direction,loved his version, but Heath put it over the top:thumbsup

Jack was great. ledger better

Didnt seen movie yet so i cant tell

The saw the Dark Knight last night and Heath was awesome!!! Oscar-winning for sure...Too bad he's gone, RIP.

pics anyone ?

The only two batman movies I have seen, were the first movie and this newest one.

Nicholson was crazy, but he was glamorized with his nice purple suit and perfectly done joker makeup. He was a good hollywood joker and best seen as a kid.

The new joker though, he was a grimy, scary mofo. A legitimate nutcase villian.

My vote goes towards the new joker.

It was 2 different Jokers... Heath's was "Darker" and more sinister vs. Jack's was "Crazy"

neither - original Joker Cesar Romero wins

They were two totally different styles of movies. Jack played the part well for the original Batman movie, but with the new series of darker Batman movies Heath played the part absolutely perfect.

It reminds me of The Crow movies... Atleast the character is covered in makeup, which will make it much easier to replace him.

Each did a good job in how own movie.

Want to see something crazy about how you view movies now days. Think back to the memory of your favorite Jame bond film. Then rent it.

I totally forgot about the TV show. lol

Word.

In a way it's unfair to say 'who was best'. If one of them sucked then fair enough, but both did a really good job at the role they had to do at the time...

Nick was crazy funny.... but Ledger was dark and sinister...........maybe because he had so much experience with weird ass supernatural movies ... sin eater and shit like that.....

The only reason I didn't call it garbage was because I love Tim Burton. But yeah, it was pretty fucking horrible. Wasn't it one of the first $100 million to make movies too?

Jack will always be the Joker

I think is Jack!

Another vote for Cesar Romero...

ADG

both actors played great.
its hard to choose when both of them did an awesome acting.

Ledger did

Ledger no doubt, looking back on the Tim Burton movie, they're not even comparable.

Heath made a good showing of Frank Miller's graphic novel version of the Joker. Nicholson's character was based on a totally different version of the Joker and he played it huge and pretty much perfectly. That being said I am a fan of the Frank Miller version of the Dark Knight so Heath got the better roll. I think a if a slightly younger Nicholson had been the Joker in the new film, he would have killed it. There are few greater actors.

The movies are very different, in my eyes. But they both did a great job playing the Joker.

I don't think Ledger really made the joker seem crazy enough. It seemed like he was trying to make him act crazy, with some luck that his master plan would fall into place.

The 'fun' of the joker is what made him crazy. Which is why I think Jack pulled it off a little better.

I Haven't seen it yet but for me Jack is the man! I hardly believe Heath can do a better job, of course we're now in 2008 not in 1989, so please those of you who loved BATMAN (1989) and now you say it's rubbish, try to see it as if we were back then. It's no news the new version has better effects and better camera movements.

They were both great, but I like Jack the best.

Different flicks, but Ledgers performance was awesome. If someone asked me to make a list of Joker possibilities I would have never put him on the list. Whoever did the casting and chose him is a genius.

For me it's heath.. sad he died in the middle of filming this batman movie:(
