There are many villains in history whether it's real life portrayal or comic books and the benefit of fiction/comic is that you can make that character anyway you want. So as a made up person it can go very wrong and yep I'll admit ledger's Joker to me is top 5 in history

    In your opinion, who do you think gave the best performance while playing the role of *”The Joker?”* Heath ledger, Jack Nicholson, Joaquin Phoenix, Cesar Julio Romero Jr, and……well I’m not even going to put Jared Leto on the list as a nominee. So, let’s break it down and put it to a vote to find out if I am alone or not in my personal opinion. I may be rowing in my own boat with my choice but I’m curious to find out everyone else’s favorite.

      Joaquin gets alot if praise, but he missed the whole tactical/kaniving part that's necessary to really be the perfect villain to Batman. Joaquin's Joket was just a character studdy of a truly disturbing/awkward/mentally unstable individual.. nothing about his character gave off vibes of being able to have the charisma and mental capacity to orchestrate large scale levels of anarky that heath legers or any other comic book version of Joker was pulling off...would have been interesting to see Phoenix reprise a role as the Joker against a Batman in a follow up movie

    It’s sad that he felt that he had to push himself to that to do the roll. When you look at juaquin phoenix’s joker who is arguably just as good or even better, definitely darker, he didn’t need to push himself to that because he was naturally a good actor. No actor should feel like they need to sink their mental state just to play a character in a movie.

    • @ttam9205
      @ttam9205 7 місяців тому +9

      This is a common misconception about Heath Ledgers performance. He didn’t push himself into darkness for this role. He had personal issues with sleeping pills before he played the joker. And when he was on set he was perfectly fine and happy as said by Michael Jai white who performed alongside him in the dark knight. This narrative that the joker performance killed him is disrespectful and misinformed.
