We’re doing a part 2 of our next 5 picks for Joker. So everyone complaining that certain people didn’t make our opinionated lists... there’s still more to come.
The fact that Jack Nicholson wasn't even on the 1st list kinda makes anything you have to say on the subject invalid and without substance at this point due to the fact that he was a complete after thought to the both of you spergs more than half an hour into the video.
Okay that was a little mean, I apologize.
And the complete lack of respect needed to say Mark Hamill is "just a voice"?! Excuse me sir, he's THE voice
wait, u like it when the joker just be himself and not try to replicate other jokers but when suicide squad joker does it, u don't like it? Personally i dont like suicide squad joker anyways but I'm saying ure kinda bias tho
Hey The TV show Gotham Was air on Fox
Cameron Monaghan is one of my favorites. His movement. His voice. His laugh. Is all just amazing to me
The Underdog Music I watched Gotham because of Shameless
I once killed A man with my shoe same here
@@ioncekilledamanwithmyshoe oh, lol. I watched shameless because off gotham!
He's the best live-action version of the character IMO.
And dude his hair when he came back to life 🤌🏻
Mark Hamill's Joker, easily. Especially his performance in the Arkham games.
I agree completely Thanos!! What's up by the way?
@@TheHulk1850 I'm fine, just chilling in the after-life.
@@themadtitan7603 what did it cost
@@themadtitan7603 hell or heaven or valhalla ?
Best performance in city
Not gonna lie, Heath mouthing "six" when the guy admits how many of his friends he killed made me laugh the first time I saw it
Yeah, same. 🤣
Dude was funny in moments. People don't give him enough credit for that
I think he's mouthing "Yikes.." but still, it's funny as shit.
Also him giving an awkward "hi" to Harvey Dent after he kills Rachel is so funny
@@91rumpnisse I'm pretty sure captions say 6
Gotham is criminally underrated
It's also criminally overhated
Gotham is also criminally overpopulated
I never gave it any thought, I was thinking it was just another comic book spin off kinda show. Watched for the first time about 2 or 3 weeks ago and was seriously surprised with how good it was. Really a very good show, enjoyed it an awful lot.
and it easily could’ve had a sixth season but got canceled 😭
Mark Hamill is the voice of the Joker. When you read the Joker dialogue in the comics, you hear Hamill’s Joker. And I love how his Joker laughs, something which Monaughan did perfectly as well. He doesn’t have one laugh, he has many different laughs for different emotions, situations and reactions.
Monaughan is the best comic to Live Action Joker. He plays Jerome: the maniac and anarchist, Jeremiah: the sinister and intelligent villain (who also looks the most like the Joker) & J: the villain who can’t live without Batman. The issue is that the he is the best Joker that never was. If he is able to play the Joker in the future, then he’ll be the best.
Phoenix is the best answer to ‘what would the Joker look like in the real world’. He also plays the tragic nature of the Joker origin and the twisted psychology of the Joker very well.
Ledger is the best Joker as an answer to ‘if Batman existed in the real world, what would the Joker be like?’ He also plays the ‘Agent of Chaos’ the best. He doesn’t care about anything other than doing the complete opposite of Batman.
Nicholson is a good Joker in the sense of capturing the cheesiness/Silver Age nature of the Joker.
Troy Baker is very good. He takes what works about Mark Hamill, and then puts his own twist on it. But Mark Hamill just has something better about it, that I can’t put my finger on. When Hamill can no longer do the voice of the character, Baker is the only next choice.
Kevin Michael Richardson is a fresh take on the character. It feels like the Joker, and it’s believable that it could be the Joker, but it’s just not my Joker. His voice also has that sinister nature to it, which I really like.
Leto is the best Joker as a criminal, as a gangster, and as someone who uses others to compete his goal, rather than going at it alone.
Phoenix & Ledger are good real world Jokers, but they aren’t ‘comic’ Jokers. They’re characters aren’t designed to be that way, but they aren’t the Joker that you would expect to use Joker Gas, Hand Buzzers, team up with other villains and do things because he can.
Where as Hamill and Monaughan, I can.
Couldn't have said it better myself Mr Calloway!
Troy and Mark play the same joker but different versions of him. Mark obviously the best at the normal take on joker, but Troy was good at portraying a younger Hamill Joker, before he became fully twisted and before his relationship with batman fully manifested. Same with RCS and Conroy batman, with Conroy being the matured batman and RCS having that same character in a more amateur form, truly becoming batman after meeting joker.
It's a flaw most people point to in origins that I see more as a fortunate accident. I could actually see Bat's and J be younger versions of their later self's in the series, without them feeling like a different interpretation.
I liked all of the Jokers and yes Hamill is the best VOICE of the Joker but the best on screen Joker for me is still Heath Ledger ! Props to the "first" Joker on screen which was Cesar Romero! He nailed the campy Joker very well !!
Late to the party, but I agree with Vee that "just a voice" does a disservice to Mark Hamill. As someone who has done voice acting, what Mark does with JUST HIS VOICE is amazing. When they started recording the Batman Animated Series, most of the voice actors sat down. Hamill was like "I have to stand. I have to move." Even with that small clip you showed of him in the booth shows how he was giving a full performance when voicing the Joker - we just didn't see it, though I'm sure the animators took cues for Hamill in their animation. Also, Mark Hamill has played the Joker for over thirty years. That counts for a lot with me.
Also, Troy Baker voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Telltale series. So he has done both the Dark Knight & The Clown Prince of Crime.
Troy Baker also voiced Batman in the Lego Batman series.
Troy's also been all three Robins (Nightwing and Arkham Knight with Tim Drake) and Two Face. Wouldn't be surprised to see him doing Catwoman at this point.
Do you think you're late? That's funny
Cameron Monaghan was so unbelievably amazing. He just did everything right.
Can we also give the writers a round of applause for writing the Gotham Joker so well done 💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Cameron is really underrated as joker he really should be joker on the big screen
Most definitely 💯
Let me just say I was so happy to see Cameron Monaghan in number one, I was genuinely shocked and happy, I 100 percent agree putting him in 1 and ppl need to give way more love for this man he’s also my favorite live action joker ever thank you
I definitely have a separation between Jerome and Jeremiah
Fuck jeremiah
@@michaelkennedy8198 jeremiah shouldnt have been there, it would have been better to see Jerome in the Final. I liked the look of the last Jerome!
fuck jerome. all he did was laugh jeremiah is the smarter one and did more to gotham in 1 day than jerome has his entire time on the show.
@@bosscommando4694 dawg what? Yeah Jeremiah was cool and all, but Jerome was more Joker than Jeremiah. He was the one who drove Gotham into madness. Jerome had the terrorizing, maniacal factor that played a big part of the whole Joker aesthetic. Jeremiah might've been a better villain, but he wasn't a better Joker.
@@bosscommando4694 Jeremiah was just riddler who woke up and chose violence, and didnt have that sadistic slow burn of a gotham villain
Cameron Monaghan is my favorite joker of all time, I mean his performance was just phenomenal.
Agreed, one hundred and ten percent.
I've never ever seen someone agree with me that Cameron is the best Joker. I HOPE he can play him again one day. He's so good and passionate. I know he'd be willing to play him again.
The best Joker is the one is the one saying "I am the Joker baby"
Look it up and you agree
Yeah I'm convinced
@@The_End. Haha told you ;)
I was saying it the whole time
It’s good. But have you seen Tommy Wiseau joker
I agree 10000000000%
I really liked John DiMagio in Under the Red Hood.
Yes he’s my Number 2 joker
Same here
Oh, he was fantastic!! Besides Mark Hamill, he was the best animated Joker!! Like if Mark Hamill were to TRULY retire from Joker or God forbid, pass away, John Dimaggio would be my choice for Joker's voice, from then on out.
Sammy Sam I am he’s my 4th
Loved his laugh. The raspiness was great not not over the top
Cameron Monahan's joker is one of my favourite characters in general and easily the best character in gotham. He was so good
I liked Joaquin and I liked "The Joker" but the one thing I can't get over is that there's nothing about that Joker that feels like "super villain."
Thats because its BEFORE he even became a villain.
it was a great movie but they portrayed him more like an anti -hero than a villian
@@Tomgirl87 I'd kinda have to disagree there. At the end of the movie, when he shoots DeNiro, he is fully formed. This is not a man who goes on to organize city-wide threats. He might be just stable enough to engage a sort of "army" of sycophants, but he doesn't have the mental capacity to organize and delegate, and his inability to distinguish reality from his own warped visions is only going to worsen as his medicine runs out and he really hits his downward spiral. Joaquin's Joker is not *criminally* insane, he's just *insane*. And do the math - he's in his mid 40's at best and Bruce is like what, 13, *MAX*? When Batman is at his physical peak in 10 or 12 years the Joker will be pushing 60. Now if Joaquin's Joker had trained in Muay Thai since the age of 9 and Bruce was nothing but a couch potato until he turned 20, Joker *might* have a fighting chance. But by the time this all plays out you've got one of the world's greatest martial artists in the prime of his life going toe to toe against a decidedly unathletic man made all the more frail by age and infirmity. There would be no fight, even if Joker was armed. Batman would have him disarmed before he knew it, twist his arm around his back, and it'd be over. Push comes to shove and all Batman has to do is break one of J's legs or ankle, or crack a couple of ribs and that is IT.
Here's where the whole "copycat" theory gains traction in my book. Some impressionable, jaded youth sees this genuinely insane man (Joaquin's Joker) buck against society and adopts this idea of the Joker for his own campaign of crime and lawlessness. PERSONALLY I don't like the idea that what we saw was simply a precursor to the "more well-known Joker," but from a narrative perspective it at least can be plausible. Arthur Fleck prancing about the stairsteps for another 15 years before becoming Batman's arch-nemesis just ain't happenin' in this universe.
Patrick Richardson
Yeah, I agree. The movie was great! BUT you only see the Joker we all know and love in bits and slivers, like the talk show scene, the scene where he kills the guy in front of the midget and then messes with him, and when he shoots the asshole businessmen down, etc. that was my only “problem“ with the movie is that I wanted to see more of the fully formed joker once he finally reaches that point at the end of the movie but unfortunately it just sort of abruptly ends once he finally gets there
If Mr. Cameron becomes the joker character in the batman (2022) film then that'll be awesome.
No love for Jack Nicholson?! Christ
Jack did the character the most justice. Mobster style scary slapstick.
@@memorydrain7806 the gun he pulled out of his pants to shoot down the Batwing was epic
He did good for the time but for me, he didn't feel like the joker just a mob boss that has the name joker.
Dave Studdaman pulling a gun out of your underwear is epic😂
Cringe and a ganster.joker is not cringle and not a simple gangster.simple.jack sucks
The fact that Jared Leto made the list and Jack Nicholson didn't makes you guys lose alot of credibility points on the subject matter you're talking about.
@Kimmminem West me to
Have you ever heard of an opinion before?
TimTam well its his opinion that their opinions suck 🤷🏻♂️
I agree, while yes Jared Leto could’ve been a good joker, ultimately it was the directors and character designers fault for not realizing his full potential. However the biggest problem is that his Role is absolutely worthless in the movie so if they had just didn’t bother or built him up better then it could’ve been more forgivable.
Jack Nicholson is a completely different story where the film director and everyone involved knew how to treat Joker right. Personally he is still my favorite Joker as Michael Keaton is my favorite Batman. It’s a damn shame this video failed to bring him for a list of best jokers.
cring
7:12 The “By the way, I’ve got some grape soda on ice and a bear-skin rig waiting” line is still amazing because of how fucking weird and particular it is
I love how all of the Jokers in the thumbnail have makeup except for Jerome.
Sadly Jerome was restricted from having the make up. And replaced by a twin-brother later on who was just given the Joker title, while Jerome earned it
He has a *imposter* smile so…
Damn Leto only got 11 minutes? The princess in Sleeping Beauty got 18 and she still gets roasted for that.
When it comes to portraying the Joker you either have what it takes or you don't.. plain & simple. there's no middle ground because you can't half-ass crazy. It'll turn cringy instantly.
Agree, that's why altho Jerome and jeremiah werent THE joker, it was amazing to watch but when it would have been Jared Leto instead of Cameron monaghan i would of cringed.
Cameron understood the Joker more than anyone who ever played him. He had such a good storyline and the interrogation scene he was so psychotic and his laugh was terrifying! Good job Cameron
Mark Hamill isn't *just* a voice. He's a memorable voice that's become synonymous with the Joker in more than 1 form of media. And he puts his whole body and face into the act. To say Hamill is just a voice is to downplay his performances.
All I want to see is Cameron Monaghan's Jerome Valeska be officially named the Joker and to have a backstory movie for him, showing all he endured, and then taking you to his very end. I just want to see more of him!
The Best Joker:
1. The one whose Punchline blew people's minds
😂😂
Literally
Gotta agree about Gotham. Jerome still rules but Jeremiah really stepped in fully for the finale. Cameron played EVERY Joker and it was amazing.
Agreed with pick no.1
Gotham is horribly underrated and one of the rare shows that for most of its run got better with every season. I don't think the final season was as good as season 4, but hey... It is what it is.
And the shift to the second joker was a masterstroke, it gave us that gangster insanity that I had been craving.
But yeah Gotham just nailed all of its villains, even Solomon Grundy who I thought was a bit iffy at first ended up working.
Season 5 got cancelled that’s why
Mr. Clock It got a season 5 though...
T-1000 Unit L Yh half of it
@@MrClock-ui3gw cancelled and finished are 2 different words
Fright _3058 it did get cancelled google it they had to rush the ending
The closest to a live action Mark Hamill is his character on both live action Flash shows The Trickster.
👏👏👏👏
hell nah man cameron did a better job tbh
I excuse the young generation for not understanding how phenomenal and iconic Jack Nicholson was as the Joker. He was the definitive example of Joker in live-action only being equalled by Mark Hamill's Joker voice-over performance in Batman The Animated Series. Jack Nicholson's Joker paved the way for every Joker performance that followed and I can say with certainty that without Batman 1989 we would not have what has become the modern dark interpretation of Gotham City.
Jack Nicholson's Joker was the first time we saw an actor use prosthetics for the grin. Cesar Romero of course is the godfather of Joker performers and that fact alone gives him a place in a GOAT list.
#1. Heath Ledger
#2. Jack Nicholson
#3. Mark Hamill
#4. Cesar Romero
#5. Joaquin Phoenix
Cameron Monaghan is good however his performance is heavily influenced by Heath Ledger's Joker. A GOAT performance must stand alone and be unique to the actor playing the part. Even Jared Leto's Joker had too much of Heath Ledger's style in it most noticeably the voice.
I agree with this so much
How in thee hell is Nicholson not on either of y'alls lists?! Leto but no Nicholson TF??!!
For Real these guys I dunno man must be young lol
@@brandonjacobsen3153 the sad thing is, they are calling themselves old and said they are 3 years older than Monaghan, which makes them 31. The fact that they think 31 is old proves how young they are.
he was basically just a gangster
While great at the time, he's not top 5 anymore
@@JoeGallo43 gatekeeping being old
Jared Leto really has gone up my list after Zack Snyder’s Justice League, he has definitely proven himself after that
Gothams Jerome and Jeremiah are both amazing and have the best joker in my opinion
Cameron Monaghan as Jeremiah is my favorite version of character. Both version. Joker from finale was the most canonical version of character I ever seen
I liked jerome more than jeremiah imo. But hey, they're both played by cameron anyway. Something about jerome valeska is so unique. I really wanted him to win in Gotham 😂 i was really rooting for him the entire show 😆
Cameron Monaghan as Joker is as criminally underrated as thw whole Gotham show
Cameron is also Dewey’s friend in Malcolm I. The Middle
Haha, that i did not know.
My favorite Joker will always be Mark Hamill, followed VERY closely by Jack Nickelson.
Some of us didn't "grow up" on Jack Nicholson. SOME of us waited til we were 20 years old and when it was announced that Jack was cast, our whole worlds were turned upside down, like everything could actually be right with the world!
Getting real tired of this whole idea that if you like something from Batman 1989 it’s purely nostalgia.
@@jalenjohnson1662 agreed. Nicholson is top three for me personally, and I wasn't even alive in 89.
@@aspiringjoker2883 Neither was I. Didn’t see the 1989 film until I was 10 years old in 2002.

ik hes iconic but hes campy and weird (not the right kind) i dont agree with jared leto but tbh cameron deserves to be up there
i dunno Jack is da best Live action Joker for me

@@faz6877 the only questionable part tbh
Mark Hamills Joker from the Arkham Games specifically is the greatest version of the Joker in my opinion. Literally the perfect Joker
A perfect Balance of Cartoony Goofy Antics yet Creepy Dark and Evil. The best Looking Joker also.
I think he looked best in origins.
Mark Hamill is the real joker. Literally everything abt his voice,design, all of the above is joker. Heath and Joaquin are really interesting, touching,and good takes but none of them really fit "The Joker" in everything.
The difficulty of getting into the top 5 Joker's is that u have to compete with: Hamill, Phoenix, Nicholson, Ledger, Baker, and Romero. That's just having to compete with the beloved incarnations
Romero's Joker was a product of his time. He was nice and jovial and whacky and I could see him ordering "Normal Bread" from Lil' Cesar's.

Shame😂
Heath ledger is the best joker
Dude same haha
HHAHA simps
Jared Leto's joker laugh sounds like the laughing in feel good inc.
Just on the interview scene from "The Fortuneteller" episode of Gotham, Cameron Monaghan is the best Joker because he takes my favorite aspects of every Joker before him (Ledger's voice, Hamil's laugh, Nicholson's campy, flamboyant grandstanding), and compresses them into a single, brilliant performance.
Fucking love Gotham I’m glad that you recognized his talent as the joker
IDGAF what anyone says: All of them are amazing. They make the character their own in their unique ways. I rest my case.
Except Leto. That was awful
I agree they are all amazing.....except Leto. He's a gifted actor, but that performance was garbage.
@@faz6877 you are right. There is actually a correct answer, no opinion. Leto was fucking terrible. I've yet to hear anybody say they enjoyed the performance. Infact the nicest words I've heard about Letos portrayal as Joker were " it wasnt THAT bad ".
@@Vercingetorix.Fantasia it wasn't a good performance. I blame that on the film itself. He barely was in it. I feel bad for Leto because he put a lot of effort into getting in character
@@Vercingetorix.Fantasia he actually was ok. He wasn't the best, but it was good
10:24 Oh my god, *YES!* I _love_ Kevin Michael Richardson’s performance as Joker! It’s easily one of my favorite roles of his, and one of my top fave versions of Joker overall.
Kevin Michael Richardson is a extremely talented voice actor he's up there with Mel Blanc, Billy West, DiMaggio and Tara Strong
The joker from Batman the brave and the bold is underrated
No Nicholson? Blasphemy! You guys are clearly smoking crack judging by these types of masterfully articulated thoughts 19:18
"ReyesWorldTV: Jared Leto."
your right, he does upset people. And very quickly.
Anyone who doesn't have Jack Nicholson in their top 5 Jokers has no credibility to talk on the subject
Yes thank you!!!
They're called opinions chief
@@jotselmao and George is expressing his own.
He's not in mine
It's very easy to leave him out of a top 5 list at this point. If it was a top 6 list it'd be a lot harder but in a top 5 list he's fighting for that bottom 2 spot with voice actors like Troy Baker, John DiMaggio, Kevin Michael Richardson, and live action versions like Phoenix, Ledger, and/or Cameron depending on how you rank them
Many have done a great job as the Joker. Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Caesar Romero, Troy Baker, John DiMaggio and Joaquin Phoenix. But in my opinion, no one can top Mark Hamill.
In defense of Leto's Joker, he wasn't given shit to do. I don't mind the look or any of that. It's a different Joker. If it bothers u it bothers u but that wasn't the point. Just shoe horning him into
The film did him no favors 😂
This is the thing he picked the costume
After watching the snyder cut of jl I like him even more he’s growing in me sucks that the timeline is fucked
Better direction and script he could do great
ledger, Phoenix, and Hamill's
no Jack?
My problem with Gotham joker is that he only got good after they cut his face off and then they killed him off after a season and replaced him with a guy who never laughs
I still like jeremiah, actually i liked jeremiah more than than jerome the first time i watched the show, but now that i rewatched the show i like jerome more but still like jeremiah
Dude he was good from the start. And him not laughing isn't it a problem he was still awsome. Ledgers joker barley laughed and was fantastic.
@@cameronvelska4610 Ledger's Joker just isn't The Joker, people like him cause he's edgy but he isn't The Joker.
I deeply appreciate that you put Gotham on here I didn’t think you would but he is brilliant
If Brad Dourif got to play the Joker there's no doubt in my mind he would have been the best one.
He would be a good Joker. I had read somewhere he was being tapped to play the Scarecrow, if Tim Burton did a 3rd Batman movie.
Guess how long Hannibal Lecter had on screen, 12 minutes. "Jared only had 11 minutes of screentime isn't a valid argument"
Ah- but, the director and the studio could never decide if he was the villain, or yet another part of the villain-protagonist ensemble.
Any way you slice it they wrote him huge, edited him small, and marketed him huge. Everything else about the performance and everything else about the design aside, there is no denying that Leto’s Joker got screwed by the studio .
Yeah but he was advertised to be in almost the entire movie and be like some huge part of the plot, like he was allll over the ads for the movie and was killed off halfway after barley being in it.
Ok but you're talking about Anthony Hopkins. The dude can convey 10 emotions in 10 seconds. He's perfect
17:36 EXACTLY what I was thinking about for the first time, just LITERALLY three minutes ago I came to that realization just three minutes prior to seeing this.
Seeing as Mark Hamill played a jedi then the joker and Cameron Monaghan played the joker then a jedi, i NEED even just one scene of Luke Skywalker and Cal Kestis sharing a laugh on screen.
Cameron Monaghan to play the joker in the Pattinson movie?
For me its Mark Hamill and Cameron Monaghan. No question about it.
Mark Hamill for his voice and Cameron Monaghan for performance
I gotta say the best and most underrated Joker for me will always be Joe DiMaggio. Yes, Mark Hamill is the voice of the Joker for an entire generation and is still the voice I hear whenever I read old comics. Joe DiMaggio though embodied that ultimate joker. He captured the careless psychopathy, the humor, and the criminal aspect of the character perfectly. While that can easily be laid at the feet of good writers, it was also good to have a fresh take on the character. Yes, Mark Hamill is great, but there needs to be evolution to a character. Not every performance should be based on Hamill, not every performance should be Nicholson or Ledger. All too often we see performers try and emulate what made one version so successful but Joe just brought his own flair to the role. That's the same reason Kevin Michael Richardson is probably my third favorite after DiMaggio and Hamilll. I like versions of the character that doe their own thing or are unique, all 3 of which are
5. Jack Nicholson I like him but let's be honest he's not the type of actor that "disappears" into his roles. You are very aware you're watching Jack Nicholson. Not necessarily a bad thing, but this keeps him at 5 for me.
4. Cesar Romero You have to take into account the time and setting of when his version took place. He had the laugh and the silly demeanor down. The joker at that time was not the homicidal maniac the later incarnations became, so he did the best that could be done at that time.
3.Mark Hamill The voice most people hear in their heads for the joker when they read comics, it's perfect. As a side note I believe that he could have pulled off a live action joker in his younger days. He played a character called trickster in the 1990 flash television series that was kind of a joker-esque character and the voice he used was kind of a proto version of the voice he would later use in the animated series.
1. & 2. This is where I kind of cheat. The differences between Phoenix's and Ledger's version are like night and day. As such, I can't pick between the two. Ledger's version was a fully realized joker capable of matching wits with batman, scaring the shit out of everyone around him and could cause controlled chaos everywhere around him seemingly without effort. While Phoenix was a joker who was seemingly a somewhat average unassuming man, perhaps even a good man who was constantly messed with and let down by the society surrounding him until he finally broke(assuming the whole movie wasn't a story made up in the characters head while locked in arkham, which is my take on that movie).
I realise , that it's an old comment , but I just can't understand how Phoenix can be so high on the list. He was really mediocre , and (to me) just annoying...
@@herrramme1536 So? It's your opinion. If you can't separate a drama from an action movie, you can't even judge the actor, who was great.
So glad and happy to see Caesar Romero I grew up with him as the Joker I feel like he is the silver age Joker
@@antoniettabombardelli8868 every joker laugh takes cues from Cesar Romero you can hear it (which is not a bad thing) he's the Og of the iconic joker laugh
Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill Joker are the best versions of Joker.
Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. Personally I didn't think that much of Joaquins version. My fave is Nicholson or Hamill.
@@unbiasedcobra6672 Agreed!!
Mark at the top imo but Ledger and Phoenix tie at second place.
Cameron monaghan is the best interpretation
In all honesty, I think Cameron Monaghan’s joker is super underrated and honestly one of my favorites.
24:29.... no, is it who I think it is? Cameron Monaghan? YES!!!!! 29:51 FOX
I hope we get the Batman that Laughs in the film universe sooner than later.
Also because in one comic he took his face out, just like in Gotham, he just stapled it back.

Cameron felt like the perfect combination of the best incarnations of Joker throughout the characters many portrayals. I couldn’t help but root for ‘Not Joker’ whenever he was on screen because he had a level of charisma that I can only equate to the Arkham series Joker.
My list of the Joker
1. Cameron Monaghan as Jeremiah Valeska
2. Mark Hammill
3. Heath Ledger
4. Richard Epcar
5. Joaquin Phoenix
6. Joe DiMaggio
7. Cesar Romero
8. Jack Nicholson
9. Guy from Young Justice
10. Cameron Monaghan as Jerome Valeska(just because he really bad character)
Jerome is literally mark hamils joker in live action
I liked jared leto's joker. When I saw him as like a gangsta rapper I laughed my ass off. He's a funny joker.
How did I get unsubscribed? But Jack as honorable mention is damn near blasphemy but hey to each their own and truthfully it's all good because you got a point I can't lie Jerome was pretty good
Yeah, those guys are absolute idiots!
I'd be open to seeing more of Jared Leto's Joker, just to see why he is like that.
Excellent Vid 👍
I don’t like Joaquin Phoenix at all as the Joker. I can't see him at all fighting Batman. The movie basically felt like Taxi Driver in clown makeup.
My list honestly would be:
Mark Hamill from 1992--2009(after '09 he and Kevin kinda degraded)
Heath Ledger
John DiMaggio
Jack Nicholson
Jared Leto
Joker was not about fighting a stupid superhero.
Antonietta Bombardelli this was absolutely the dumbest and hottest take in existence. You make illiterates look like rocket scientists with how unbelievably dumb these 8 words were strung together that came from your brain. Congratulations you win the stupid award for the decade of the 2020s and it hasn’t even started in earnest yet. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🥳🥳
@@antoniettabombardelli8868 The back and forth between Batman and the joker is the reason why he exists asshat
Heath is always gonna be my favorite.
In my opinion who is the best (live action)
1: Heath ledger
2: Joaquin Phoenix
3: Cameron Monghan
4: Jack
The joker movie was more about life itself and i liked it
I liked it too but nothing beats the Animated series joker
@@tylerbertram7065 *heat ledger
@@franjo5174 yuck, heath was awful
monaghan is so underrated, but yet so talented in every way
No love for Nicholson is annoying.
1. Mark Hamill
2. Jack Nicholson
3. Heath Ledger
4. Joaquin Phoenix
5. Cesar Romero
This is the perfect list.
@@Sir-Fettucini I thought so too 😂
But for real these 2 triggered me. How do you just forget about Jack?
@@zachfox9980 when I got to the end of their list and Jack Nicholson was nowhere to be found but fucking Jared Leto made it on there I was like yeah these guys don't know wtf they're talking about lmao
@@zachfox9980 I still go back and forth to this day on whether I like Nicholson or Ledger's Joker more lol to me Nicholson's interpretation is closer to the source material than Ledger's but Ledger took the character and really made it his own while still being true to what the Joker from the comics represents.
That is definitely my list. Jack Nicholson definitely needs more credit. His Joker was amazing.
Harthy leager is my fav his joker look rocks.
Mark Hamill will always have a special place in my heart. He can go from young hopeful star pilot or Jedi to evil psychopath in a second with his voice.
Cameron did an impressive performance. His Joker origin story is the best live action version.
No shit when you put Kevin on your list I shouted YES! He is my first look at the Joker
The Valeska Twins
Are my favorites
