Mark Hamill will be my favorite Joker for 3 reasons. 1. His laugh 2. He really captures the Joker's dark personality and sense of humor 3. His dialogue in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker were some of the best Joker quotes I've ever heard.
Idk why, but my favorite heath ledger Joker moment is when the mob boss says "you really think you can steal from the mob and just walk away?" And the joker just says ya.
Oh you must be a lé cinéphile. Heath completely missed the whole point of the joker. But people like to jump on the circlejerk that exists around those godawful Nolan movies I guess.
Heath was amazing, but I really feel like Mark cemented the definitive version of the Joker, pretty much the starting point where all variations of the Joker should begin. Heath is what happens when you take Hamill's performance and put it in a real and darker world.
The Jokers: Cesar Romero: The Prankster Jack Nicholson: The Clown Heath Ledger: The Anarchist Jared Leto: The Gangster Cameron Monaghan (Jerome): The Sociopath Cameron Monaghan (Jeremiah): The Psychopath Joaquin Phoenix: The Deranged Mark Hamill: The Joker
1. Heath ledger 2. Joaquin Phoenix 3. Jack Nicholson 4. Romero 5.jared leto: what the hell i am doing here? Edit: Sorry didn't put Mark cuz I am just mentioning actors but Mark is surely on of The best
You've never seen Cameron Monaghan have you? He borrows a lot from both Heath and Mark's Jokers but combines it in a way that really makes him feel unique. Honestly I feel he deserves to be up there with Mark Hamil and Heath Ledger but that might just be me.
@@marchionessamoretto7326 so what about past-preformances? adam sandler movies usually suck but uncut gems was amazing. don't define an actor about their past roles
Hit or miss actor, he certainly had some great performances like as the Joker and in Brokeback Mountain, but for every one of those theres a Knight's Tale and a 10 Things I Hate About You.
I heard that they did a poll on this question and that a majority of people said that the best Joker of all time was... Rob Schneider!!! And he’s about to find out that being The Joker, isn’t as easy as it seems...
Rob Schneider was an ordinary comedian until one day he spilled white paint on his face and slipped on a banana peel. This comedy is no “joking” matter. Rob Schneider is, “The Carrot Joker” Rated: Maximum Derp
Althought I'm curious to see what it would be like, the Leto Joker movie will never happen. Leto wants out, and the studio wants rid of an unpopular version.
“After the Jokers failed career as a Johnny Cash impersonator he turns to a life of crime” - this is the leaked synopsis for the joker film which may or may not be entirely made up by me
1Jack Nicholson2.Mark Hamill3.Jaed Leo Heath doesn't apply because he didn't actually play The Joker. The character of The Joker has been clearly defined throughout six decades of comics. Nicholson 's Joker was spot on in that he nailed every character trait of The Joker. Heath's character wasn't based on the actual Joker. He was merely an arsonist character created by Nolan, dressed in a Joker costume
wawuglio I’m starting to think your stupid you keep saying this, he is joker, what more do you want. Yes it was a chemical accident and not paint but it’s still a good joker
@@josharntt Yeah that's the trickster but that's only the crazy and voice of the joker being acted by Mark hamill I want Mark to be on the same look of the joker with some better stories for him as a actual joker and for him to have that batman joker riveraly. Trickster is good and all but Mark deserves the joker
Jack Nicholson: My favorite live action Joker, He was hilarious and creepy at the same time,He was The Joker ripped from the pages of the comics. 5/5 joy buzzers Heath Ledger: Great performance, He made The Joker his own, He felt more real and scary, The only thing that was missing in my opinion was the funny side, Yes there were some funny moments but overall 4.5/5 Joy buzzers Ceasar Romero: Pretty good Joker for the time, I give it 4/5 Joy buzzers Jared Leto: Terrible just terrible, He wasn't even The Joker, Just some goth kid on drugs that thinks he's The Joker but he's not. 0/5
1. Heath Ledger 2. Mark Hamill 3. Joaquin Phoenix 4. Jack Nicholson 5. Cameron Monaghan 6. Cesar Romero 7. Zach Galifianakis 8. Drew Russell 9. Tommy Wiseau 10. Jared Leto
Heath just isn’t even close to mark. It’s not up for debate. Heath plays a specific version of the joker that could basically be any bad guy. Mark is literally THE joker. The actual incarnation of him.
I really liked Cameron monaghan's jerome in gotham as his acting was great and he had an original enough laugh and was completely craaaaaaaazy but I don't like jeromiah
flashcrash my dude nobody likes Jeremiah. Jerome in my opinion and this is just my opinion could've made a great on-screen Joker with a good director and a good vision.
Ricko Thornton They’re not legally allowed to use the Joker in the show which is why Jerome and Jeremiah exist. They’re both the 2 sides of the Joker, Jerome being the crazy, unpredictable lunatic and Jeremiah being the cold, sociopathic genius.
@@Adamassmilk Yeah but they still could've kept Jerome, a episode for next season is name Ace Chemicals so they could've done that to bleach his skin and give him the look. He already showed that he had plans and manipulation skills. They shouldve kept Jerome.
Looove Cameron Monahan! [sp] I didn’t like Jeremiah until the last episode and he turned his evilmeter up to 11. His plot to drop Gotham into chaos was perfect for the show. Since this is the last season most likely I think it’s all setting up Baby Bats putting on his big boy pants because this season he’s gonna need them
Ricko Thornton honestly, we can't rly judge Jeremiah cos we've only gotten 4 episodes of him. Plus the joker alone is not just Jerome it's Jerome and Jeremiah combined like Orthodox plum said
I said years ago when Batman V Superman hadn't come out yet, when I found d out that Ben Afflecks Batman would use voice changing technology I crossed my fingers, closed my eyes and thought "Oh please let them get Kevin Conroy to dub over as the Batvoice" I still think about what could have been.
Mark Hamill just provided the voice, the animators did most of the job to be honest. You cant really compare him when there's a lot more that goes into getting Joker right, like the facial expressions, his suit, his hair... which obviously the animators could get right to the T.
@@TheREALTiPPiDa The crazy thing was, Batman, I mean Ben Affleck, didn't need a voice changer. He's the best live action Batman, for the same reason Batman, I mean Kevin Conroy is the best overall Batman. He knows that Batman is the real Bruce Wayne. The "Batman voice" isn't something he puts on at the same time he wears the uniform. It's his real voice, and he just slips out of it to play the billionaire playboy philanthropist. No other Batman actor has done this in live action.
Comic book Joker killed children, raped women, and was utterly fearless. I didn't see Hammil's Joker doing any of that, and Hammil's Joker was a coward. A Joker that doesn't kill anyone (which Hammil's Joker never did in the original series) and is a coward isn't the Joker.
Cameron. I love Heath. But Cameron captures everything I love about the comics. Especially like 90s self aware stories. He knows how to play with that tone beautifully. I just feel oddly nostalgic watching him.
In my opinion, the joker is such an interesting character because there’s so many different ways that you could portray the character. He has gone through so many different incarnations from being a wacky prankster, an organized crime boss, an anarchist and many more. This makes is so there’s not really a “wrong” way to play the Joker. The Caesar Romero version is closer to the character from the 60’s through the 80’s while the Jared Leto version is closer to the modern day character. And now, with the revelation that there are 3 different jokers being revealed, that proves my point even more. Each Joker fits their universe and their Batman and some have aspects that I dislike but I think that they are all good portrayals of the character. The following ratings are just my opinion and how much I like each version. Caesar Romero- 3/5 He’s more reminiscent of the older Joker that wasn’t a killer but a prankster. I haven’t read many comics from that era so it isn’t my favorite. Jack Nicholson- 4/5 He fits the weird, horrific, Tim Burton universe and he is fairly comic accurate. I think he was kind of old for the part but still good. Heath Ledger- 5/5 Definitely my favorite portrayal of the character. Not very comic accurate, but it isn’t a very comic accurate universe either. It is meant to be a more realistic and life like version of the characters and that is shown in the alternate characterizations and origins of some of the characters. He definitely fits the universe that he is put in and he is a different version of the character than most of the other ones. Cameron Monaghan- 4/5 I don’t love the design of the character but everything else is great. Jared Leto- 4/5 He had potential to be the most comic accurate version of the character. He is a version that is more of a mob boss guy and he definitely fits the universe with his tuxedos, alligator skin trench coat and purple Lamborghini. I don’t like most of the tattoos, some are okay, but most I don’t like, (especially the “damaged” one). I also don’t like that he cares about Harley Quinn, the Joker never actually cares about Harley, he just uses her and pretends to love her because it’s how he gets her to do what he wants. I’ve heard that this is expanded on in the directors cut of Suicide Squad though. I just really want to see more of the character and I definitely want them to give him a second chance. I hope they #releasetheayercut so that we can see more of him. Joaquin Phoenix- 3/5 This movie was barely a comic book movie, it was just a Scorsese movie but with the addition of comic book names in order to bring in a wider audience. I think that that’s genius, but in terms of the character itself, he’s not my favorite.
We never got good enough judgement to tell if Jared’s new Joker is a good Joker. If his new version of the character was in the Suicide Squad movie I could say it was awesome. The problem is the damaged tattoo version is the version from the movie. The new version we get for 5 seconds.
.1: Jared Leto: He has the mist screen time out of all of them 2.: Caesar Romero: He looks lowkey like my uncle 3.: Jack Nicholson: He once are my pizza pie without consent 4.: Heath Ledger: Had the least amount of time in all films, because we had to focus on Batman’s anime addiction .5: I hope you realize this is a joke
Unironically I think that the Injustice/Mortal Komat versions of the Joker are the very best interpretations of the character surpassing Ledger or even Mark Hamil. I love how each one is a mix of different Jokers from both the comics and the movies, they all are just the best parts of every joker, the gadget wielding, terrorism, destructive, sadistic, look/outfits, playful, insane, mentally manipulating, homicidal slayer, while still genuinely funny/giddy aspects of the character are all there in the three of the characters. Even though it may seem like some of the different silly and terrifying personalities the Joker has been given over time could clash, these games pull it off in a better way than the animated series in my opinion. Hell, in Injustice 2 they use horror like imagery for the character to symbolize the fears and insecurities that he brought onto Harley Quinn when reintroducing him while still maintaining the classic Joker that we all know and love.
Perhaps the joy buzzers are a rating of how funny they are and the gun barrel is a rating of how threatening they are, and combined you have an overall rating of how entertaining they are
“This town needs an enema!” was a great line, but Ledger’s Joker was so believable and psychological. His joker had real depth. Also, I’m not following the rules.
I actually think Jared is underrated. I find him funny and goofy and comic booky. He is scary, and silly but I also see him being the boss of a group of criminals. The tattoos I am not huge on, mainly the deranged one is just kind of dumb, but I would have loved to see this guy fight Batman. Joaquin is number 6 for me, mainly in that I don't believe for a second that guy would be able to execute any sort of plan and properly communicate them to thugs for him to do something. He's just another cowardly shooter. Big deal, Batman would have him locked up within the afternoon.
Best live action joker: Heath ledger DUH Best animated joker: Mark Hamil OF COURSE Best small screen joker: Cameron Monaghan HE'S INSANE the rest are good apart from Jared Leto OH GOD NO
There's only four spaces on this list and Leto is in last, but I STILL think that's too high a placement for his performance. I can't wait for this Joaquin Phoenix movie so that it can knock Leto's joker down further. *"I'M AN IDEA!"*
Heath ledger is the same joker as Joaquin Phoenix the new joker movie is the backstory of the joker and the joker was like younger and the heath ledger joker was the older version in dark knight
Starting off with Romero, his proformance was great for the time, considering the wackyness of the comic and the show. Three gun barrels out of 5, doesn't compare to what we have now, 2 buzzers out of 5, as the buzzers have less amountage containing graphic appeal and character development implemented into their ranking system. Nah. Jack Nickleson, not too bad of a preforance, his Joker was too focused on his original however, and didn't feel threatening enough to be a villian for a brute like Batman, granted, back then the character of Batman wasn't as hardcore as today, yet still, like the last, doesn't hold up today. 3 gunbarrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Nah. Heath Ledger was a fantastic performance, lore was hidden, like it should be, character development and motives (although somewhat unknown, but still understandable), and his relationship with Batman is what it should have always been, a ying and yang. 5 barrels out of 5, 5 clickers out of 5. Hah. Leto is a very..diverse character. He was joker, but he wasnt. Now what I mean by that, is the essence of the "Joker" is still there, but he acts strangely in comparison with other interpretations, especially comics. The bright side is he fits very well with the world he's placed in. 3 barrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Hah. (Only because he fits in the context of his place in the universe) As of now, Joaquin looks extremely promising, and I only hope to see good things come out of this. Hopefully he can knock everyone's clown footwear out of the park, because he's got big shoes to fill. Hah from me so far.
I would say the relationship between Batman and the Joker in Batman 1989 is more "yin and yang" than the their relationship in The Dark Knight. In Batman 1989, the characters literally create each other: when he's younger, the Jack Napier kills Bruce Wayne's parents, leading Bruce on the path where he eventually becomes Batman, and Batman is unable to save Jack Napier from falling into the vat of chemicals that turns him into the Joker. In The Dark Knight, The Joker just kind of shows up, and Batman has to find a way to stop him; the "yin and yang" in that movie comes more from their interactions with each other and their personal values, rather than origins, which also works well. Personally, I feel that both the Nicholson and Ledger portrayals do a lot of things right, and they do different things with the character, which is cool. Nicholson definitely has a more sophisticated vibe, and I feel that his humor (a key aspect of the Joker) is played up more than Ledger's. In his physical and behavioral depiction, he's a also closer interpretation of the comics Joker than Ledger's. Ledger, on the other hand, really captures the ambiguity of the Joker's backstory that is present in the comics, especially in The Killing Joke, which Nicholson did not have, and I would say he does does the homicidal and horror aspects of the Joker better than Nicholson. Ledger also managed to incorporate many aspects and references of the past Jokers into his performance, while still making his version unique, which definitely gives his performance an incredible boost. Its also important to note that both portrayals are products of their time (a more comic-book interpretation vs. a grittier and more realistic interpretation); neither would fit in each other's world, and I think your opinion of which is the better portrayal largely depends on your preferences of style of movie and style of Batman story. Overall, both portrayals are awesome in their own ways, and are just straight-up iconic performances of one of the greatest fictional villains of all time.
As of before the movie JOKER My list is: 5: suicide squad joker: I think his design was complete and utter garbage, and it seemed like they were trying to push the relationship of joker and Harley as an actual, functional relationship 4:1960's joker I think that the problem with this joker was that he wasn't really a big threat to batman (this is one of my main problems with the jokers, except ledger and Jerome) 3:batman '89 joker This joker was okay, but he's only bad because batman kills in this film, and he cannot match batman physically and his character is just plain stupid. Because he doesn't kill batman at the end of the movie, we get one of the worst villain deaths to date (there aren't really that many in the batman films, but I'm comparing this death to all the other deaths that have happened in superhero movies which are mostly marvel). 2:Jerome/Jeremiah Valeska I really like these characters, and how Jerome can display an air of coldness and insanity and how Jeremiah seems like an unhinged, deranged genius which is a horrible thing, as gotham shows in the last few episodes of S4 1: Heath ledger Heath's character was outstanding, and he always displayed how insane his character was. I also think this character was so great because Nolan gave him such a free will in his film, the LOOK AT ME! Scene sent shivers down my spine, and another reason he's so great is that he's both unpredictable ( burning the stack of money instead of throwing it about was a good touch) and IS A FIGHTING MATCH TO BATMAN, which is one of my biggest gripes with '89 joker, and this makes Heath even more scary to watch, may he rest in peace
1. Heath Ledger 2. Mark Hamill 3. Joaquin Phoenix 4. Jack Nicholson 5. Cesar romero 2 and 3 were extremely hard to rank. Phoenix did a phenomenal job in the film and i would say he is the second best live action joker but mark has been the joker for so long now outside of the movies that his joker voice is iconic and gets stuck in your head. Every time i think of joker, the animated series and the arkham games instantly spring to mind because of hamill. I was born in the 90s and grew up with the animated series and later on when i took video games more seriously i got into the arkham trilogy and it's been one of my most favourite game series' in part because of hamill. If every generation has a joker then hamill is my joker. However, there is no denying ledgers performance in the dark knight. It's one of the greatest performances ever given in the history of cinema and the main reason for TDK's success. I'd say the top 3 are on another level to the rest. All 3 are amazing. Then we have nicholson which was another good performance. This joker is less gritty than the top 3 but it was something different and a solid contrast to the darker jokers. Romero was as campy as they come. This is the lightest of the jokers and deserves to be in the top 5 because of the important part he played in the history of the character. I would probably put monaghan as number 6 and from then on i couldn't care too much about the rankings. I will say, however, that leto belongs at the bottom of the list. His marilyn manson joker was just...no. Even lego joker was better than that.
From tv and movies: 1.heath ledger 2. Jeremiah valeska(gotham) 3.jerome valeska(gotham) 4.1982 5.1966 6.suicide squad joker (The only reason ive put heath and gothams versions higher is because i love darker interpretations of the joker like in killing joke)
Daddy Derek - Ledger is overrated, and on top of that- for anyone who has ever read a Batman comic will know his version was the least comic accurate- make up instead of bleached skin, barely told any jokes or laughed.... His portrayal was nothing like the comic version. Jack Nicholson all day..
Dangerous2099 that argument is stupid, in regards to the character designs the dark knight trilogy wasn’t focused accuracy to it’s source material It was a more modern interpretation on the characters similar to something like the bbc Sherlock Practically every villain had a new design on purpose A character who fell into a pit of acid that turned his skin white would feel out of place in that universe
@@notadamyeahugh7458 you're right, the only character they were close too getting right was Ra's al Ghul and fucked him in the third movie. Ledger wasn't the even close to Joker, hell, Jared Leto was closer to the Joker than Ledger. Haha, Mob Boss with a Smile. Ledger would have been a better Zsasz Ps based off your comment, you don't think he's a good Joker and not at all a comic book telling of Him. As if, he isn't the Joker and just some guy in a clown suit.
@@notadamyeahugh7458 I wasn't make an argument- I was pointing out A FACT- that Ledger's Joker was the least comic accurate or the least 'Joker-like' of all live action portrayals... Most people don't care how comic accurate something is, they just want to be entertained by compelling stories and characters. TDK had both and Ledger's on screen character was fantastic, no arguments, but the fact remains- it wasn't much like the Joker, which most fans just don't want to face up to or admit.
Worst to Best Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) Jack Nicholson (1989) Ceaser Romero (1966) Heath Ledger (Dark Knight) Cameron Monahan (Gotham) Mark Hamill (Animated Series)
The only thing I would swap is Jack Nicholson and Caesar Romero, but that is one great list. Love to see Cameron Monaghue appreciated. The Carneval scene with him was the best live action Joker so far.
I do love that the gotham version basically got mad then died then got revived with his face cut off by a cult then has a secret twin then dies then the secret twin becomes the joker. The timeline is as crazy as himself
Troy Baker because he voiced the quintessential Joker in Arkham Origins. Even if he took his cue from Hamill, his version nailed everything the character is supposed to be - impish, manic, gleeful, charismatic, fearless, whimsical and FUNNY - in just the right mix. Not to mention the character model, which ought to become the reference point for all future Joker designs, was phenomenal.
Whenever Hamill retires from the role, I hope Baker is the go-to Joker VA, he’s the only one who’s really captured the Hamill Joker spirit of playful chaotic evil without going overboard into overt comedy or joyless psychopath.
Phoenix is Joker for a mere few minutes really. I was compelled by how his character turned out by the end of the movie though, really want to see more of him..
Jack Nicholson, Mark Hammill, and Cesar Romero...that is it so far, at least they are related to the comic books, better acting, charismatic and funny.
Heath Ledger most certainly had the better Joker than Mark Hamill. Not even a contest here. I would give Hammil's Joker more props if not for that godawful 20th episode of the first season of BTAS titled "Joker's Favor", in which Joker is portrayed as a dumb bully who will beg for mercy once someone shoves his own medicine up his own ass. Ledger's Joker was the opposite: he was fearless and unstoppable. Hammil's Joker was more zany and flamboyant than scary. Sure, Joker is a clown, but he''s a homicidal clown, and homicidal is the key word here. Joker killed children, raped women, and intentionally tried to kill himself just for fun on many occasions in the comics. I could never picture BTAS version of the Joker doing something like that, but I can see Ledger's Joker doing it. That scene with fake Batman, where Joker films him on camera, is better than anything I've ever seen with Hammil's Joker.
😀😁😂😃😜🤑

Best joker is Mark Hamil
What about Superfriends or Young Justice or the various animated film jokers?
I might have just thrown up in my mouth.

Mark Hamill will be my favorite Joker for 3 reasons.
1. His laugh
2. He really captures the Joker's dark personality and sense of humor
3. His dialogue in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker were some of the best Joker quotes I've ever heard.
Idk why, but my favorite heath ledger Joker moment is when the mob boss says "you really think you can steal from the mob and just walk away?" And the joker just says ya.
I love that scene, because he seems prepared for everything but also nothing at the same time, which really fits his character
That's my favorite part of the whole movie!!!
Heath is the best. Mark is 2nd. Joaquin could suprise us all.
Surprise, i think you mean amaze us all... Its the fucking walking phoenix.. if joker new he was going to be playing him the joker would run
RŮDE did you really say Mark is number. 2 😂😂😂😂
Heath and Mark share 1st place.
Oh you must be a lé cinéphile. Heath completely missed the whole point of the joker. But people like to jump on the circlejerk that exists around those godawful Nolan movies I guess.
Heath was amazing, but I really feel like Mark cemented the definitive version of the Joker, pretty much the starting point where all variations of the Joker should begin. Heath is what happens when you take Hamill's performance and put it in a real and darker world.
You know who would have been a good Joker?
Michael Joseph Jackson.
Oh shut up Andrew

Fuck you porkins, Glad you are dead

Where is cave painting Joker????
Jack Nicholson's Joker was inspired from the comics. Ledger's was more human and realistic.
Phoenix is the most realistic.
Jack Nicholson: The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns

Maybe, but....

Rob Schneider was an ordinary comedian until one day he spilled white paint on his face and slipped on a banana peel. This comedy is no “joking” matter. Rob Schneider is, “The Carrot Joker” Rated: Maximum Derp
Joaquin phoenix is the Joker.
Heath ledger was the Joker.
Jared Leto a mafia member who wants to make name for himself.
well he didn't write the script dumbass, you try doing a better joker
Heath ledger was the best joker
The Punisher The Punisher for sure
No the joker from Gotham to show is the best
Flexn Rex no
Flexn Rex he was good when he was Jerome(which isn’t the joker) but when he’s actually the joker he’s a shit character

Jared Leto has left the game.
he's signed on for like 2-3 more movies...
Woosh
Batman has left the game
Unlikely. There are news that his Harley and Joker movie is in preproduction. Apparently it will also feature Dr. Phil... for some reason.
Althought I'm curious to see what it would be like, the Leto Joker movie will never happen. Leto wants out, and the studio wants rid of an unpopular version.
Cesar Romero: Never saw it.
Jack Nicholsson: HA
Heath Ledger: Big HA
Jared Leto: Big NAH
Joaquin Phoenix: HA?

You really need to watch Batman 1966. It’s amazing!
Salami Puddin you can't rank jokers unless you see the 66 one
Forgot Mark Hamill (he's done the voice of animated Joker for over 2 decades....including the Arkham game series)
*Mark Hamill: HAhaHahaHahaHa!*
“After the Jokers failed career as a Johnny Cash impersonator he turns to a life of crime” - this is the leaked synopsis for the joker film which may or may not be entirely made up by me

Heath doesn't apply because he didn't actually play The Joker. The character of The Joker has been clearly defined throughout six decades of comics. Nicholson 's Joker was spot on in that he nailed every character trait of The Joker. Heath's character wasn't based on the actual Joker. He was merely an arsonist character created by Nolan, dressed in a Joker costume
wawuglio I refuse to believe that you even mentioned jared leto in that list mate
c'rrieessie leto wasn't great but he actually did some Jokeresque things.
wawuglio “clearly defined”. The whole point of the Joker is that he very much isn’t clearly defined. Hence Heath nails it
wawuglio I’m starting to think your stupid you keep saying this, he is joker, what more do you want. Yes it was a chemical accident and not paint but it’s still a good joker
Heath Ledger was the best!! No doubt of that.
dont forget cave painting joker
No mark hamill
I get that it's animated but Mark Hamill's Joker is the most comic accurate and his voice and laugh are iconic.
True very true
If he is comic accurate, then why does he look like a cute cartoon character instead of the comic book version?
Makes me want to watch it now
@@ThreadBomb ever seen killing joke or the arkham games? He's pretty dang accurate.
Yesyesyesyesyesyezsss
I hope one day we get a Batman Beyond live action film with Michael Keaton as old Bruce Wayne and Willem Dafoe is an old Joker.
Why not mark hamill as live action joker? Could work
I'd be fine with that
@@ResidentBen4 Yeah Mark would be a great old joker
@@themadclown9129 he was a nockoff joker in the flash at some point
@@josharntt Yeah that's the trickster but that's only the crazy and voice of the joker being acted by Mark hamill I want Mark to be on the same look of the joker with some better stories for him as a actual joker and for him to have that batman joker riveraly. Trickster is good and all but Mark deserves the joker
Jack Nicholson: My favorite live action Joker, He was hilarious and creepy at the same time,He was The Joker ripped from the pages of the comics. 5/5 joy buzzers
Heath Ledger: Great performance, He made The Joker his own, He felt more real and scary, The only thing that was missing in my opinion was the funny side, Yes there were some funny moments but overall 4.5/5 Joy buzzers
Ceasar Romero: Pretty good Joker for the time, I give it 4/5 Joy buzzers
Jared Leto: Terrible just terrible, He wasn't even The Joker, Just some goth kid on drugs that thinks he's The Joker but he's not. 0/5
I agree that Jack Nicholson was great. Disagree with everything else.
6:52 "about this guy" That lip sync.
Holy shit
Haha lol
And the Oscar for best editing goes to...
Jack Nicholson wasn't playing the Joker. He was acting as himself.
He acts as himself in every movie he’s in
L French yeah that's why he has won multiple oscars oh wait no your just trying to be edgy.
Maybe that's HOW he got the part
I thought he was an awesome joker
Over the top version of himself, but yes, you are right. Nicholson is a great actor, but sometimes overrated

When Jack goes full Nicholson, people win Oscars.
Heath just isn’t even close to mark. It’s not up for debate. Heath plays a specific version of the joker that could basically be any bad guy.
Mark is literally THE joker. The actual incarnation of him.
Every time I think of the joker I picture BTAS joker.
I really liked Cameron monaghan's jerome in gotham as his acting was great and he had an original enough laugh and was completely craaaaaaaazy but I don't like jeromiah
flashcrash my dude nobody likes Jeremiah. Jerome in my opinion and this is just my opinion could've made a great on-screen Joker with a good director and a good vision.
Ricko Thornton They’re not legally allowed to use the Joker in the show which is why Jerome and Jeremiah exist. They’re both the 2 sides of the Joker, Jerome being the crazy, unpredictable lunatic and Jeremiah being the cold, sociopathic genius.
@@Adamassmilk Yeah but they still could've kept Jerome, a episode for next season is name Ace Chemicals so they could've done that to bleach his skin and give him the look. He already showed that he had plans and manipulation skills. They shouldve kept Jerome.
Looove Cameron Monahan! [sp] I didn’t like Jeremiah until the last episode and he turned his evilmeter up to 11. His plot to drop Gotham into chaos was perfect for the show. Since this is the last season most likely I think it’s all setting up Baby Bats putting on his big boy pants because this season he’s gonna need them
Ricko Thornton honestly, we can't rly judge Jeremiah cos we've only gotten 4 episodes of him. Plus the joker alone is not just Jerome it's Jerome and Jeremiah combined like Orthodox plum said
Best live portrayal: Ledger
Best overall/comic accurate portrayal: Hamill
Also Kevin Conroy is the best Batman by a mile.
I said years ago when Batman V Superman hadn't come out yet, when I found d out that Ben Afflecks Batman would use voice changing technology I crossed my fingers, closed my eyes and thought "Oh please let them get Kevin Conroy to dub over as the Batvoice" I still think about what could have been.
Mark Hamill just provided the voice, the animators did most of the job to be honest. You cant really compare him when there's a lot more that goes into getting Joker right, like the facial expressions, his suit, his hair... which obviously the animators could get right to the T.
@@TheREALTiPPiDa The crazy thing was, Batman, I mean Ben Affleck, didn't need a voice changer. He's the best live action Batman, for the same reason Batman, I mean Kevin Conroy is the best overall Batman.
He knows that Batman is the real Bruce Wayne. The "Batman voice" isn't something he puts on at the same time he wears the uniform. It's his real voice, and he just slips out of it to play the billionaire playboy philanthropist. No other Batman actor has done this in live action.
Comic book Joker killed children, raped women, and was utterly fearless. I didn't see Hammil's Joker doing any of that, and Hammil's Joker was a coward. A Joker that doesn't kill anyone (which Hammil's Joker never did in the original series) and is a coward isn't the Joker.
@@WinterGirlRules He was pretty cool, bigger ears would've been better, and his action scenes were awesome, too bad he hasn't been in a good movie.
Cameron. I love Heath. But Cameron captures everything I love about the comics. Especially like 90s self aware stories. He knows how to play with that tone beautifully. I just feel oddly nostalgic watching him.
Me too every time I read a comic and the Joker is in it I get Jerome and Jeremiah vibes
In my opinion, the joker is such an interesting character because there’s so many different ways that you could portray the character. He has gone through so many different incarnations from being a wacky prankster, an organized crime boss, an anarchist and many more. This makes is so there’s not really a “wrong” way to play the Joker. The Caesar Romero version is closer to the character from the 60’s through the 80’s while the Jared Leto version is closer to the modern day character. And now, with the revelation that there are 3 different jokers being revealed, that proves my point even more. Each Joker fits their universe and their Batman and some have aspects that I dislike but I think that they are all good portrayals of the character. The following ratings are just my opinion and how much I like each version.
Caesar Romero- 3/5
He’s more reminiscent of the older Joker that wasn’t a killer but a prankster. I haven’t read many comics from that era so it isn’t my favorite.
Jack Nicholson- 4/5
He fits the weird, horrific, Tim Burton universe and he is fairly comic accurate. I think he was kind of old for the part but still good.
Heath Ledger- 5/5
Definitely my favorite portrayal of the character. Not very comic accurate, but it isn’t a very comic accurate universe either. It is meant to be a more realistic and life like version of the characters and that is shown in the alternate characterizations and origins of some of the characters. He definitely fits the universe that he is put in and he is a different version of the character than most of the other ones.
Cameron Monaghan- 4/5
I don’t love the design of the character but everything else is great.
Jared Leto- 4/5
He had potential to be the most comic accurate version of the character. He is a version that is more of a mob boss guy and he definitely fits the universe with his tuxedos, alligator skin trench coat and purple Lamborghini. I don’t like most of the tattoos, some are okay, but most I don’t like, (especially the “damaged” one). I also don’t like that he cares about Harley Quinn, the Joker never actually cares about Harley, he just uses her and pretends to love her because it’s how he gets her to do what he wants. I’ve heard that this is expanded on in the directors cut of Suicide Squad though. I just really want to see more of the character and I definitely want them to give him a second chance. I hope they #releasetheayercut so that we can see more of him.
Joaquin Phoenix- 3/5
This movie was barely a comic book movie, it was just a Scorsese movie but with the addition of comic book names in order to bring in a wider audience. I think that that’s genius, but in terms of the character itself, he’s not my favorite.
4/5 for Leto? REALLY?

Leto's Joker always felt like one of Joker's minions who was just... really obsessed with the guy. Not the Joker himself, just a very spirited minion.
We never got good enough judgement to tell if Jared’s new Joker is a good Joker. If his new version of the character was in the Suicide Squad movie I could say it was awesome. The problem is the damaged tattoo version is the version from the movie. The new version we get for 5 seconds.

@@braedenhunter6501 but his acting wasn't
@@thetreacherousleech8990 He stuck out, but not much he could do with a cringy, teenager-level script.
Unironically I think that the Injustice/Mortal Komat versions of the Joker are the very best interpretations of the character surpassing Ledger or even Mark Hamil. I love how each one is a mix of different Jokers from both the comics and the movies, they all are just the best parts of every joker, the gadget wielding, terrorism, destructive, sadistic, look/outfits, playful, insane, mentally manipulating, homicidal slayer, while still genuinely funny/giddy aspects of the character are all there in the three of the characters. Even though it may seem like some of the different silly and terrifying personalities the Joker has been given over time could clash, these games pull it off in a better way than the animated series in my opinion. Hell, in Injustice 2 they use horror like imagery for the character to symbolize the fears and insecurities that he brought onto Harley Quinn when reintroducing him while still maintaining the classic Joker that we all know and love.
Heath died and went to joker heaven as god
Heath went to heaven but the joker went to hell as king
Offical Stan. That’s one terrific comment.
Perhaps the joy buzzers are a rating of how funny they are and the gun barrel is a rating of how threatening they are, and combined you have an overall rating of how entertaining they are
The dude who plays the joker on Gotham is great, probably my favorite performance of them all.
Cameron is my favourite live action but a Mark Hamil is the true joker voice
“This town needs an enema!” was a great line, but Ledger’s Joker was so believable and psychological. His joker had real depth. Also, I’m not following the rules.

I actually think Jared is underrated. I find him funny and goofy and comic booky. He is scary, and silly but I also see him being the boss of a group of criminals. The tattoos I am not huge on, mainly the deranged one is just kind of dumb, but I would have loved to see this guy fight Batman. Joaquin is number 6 for me, mainly in that I don't believe for a second that guy would be able to execute any sort of plan and properly communicate them to thugs for him to do something. He's just another cowardly shooter. Big deal, Batman would have him locked up within the afternoon.

katakuri mejeca Heath’s a perfect portrayal of what Joker [2019] would be in the future.
Heath ledger is the same joker as Joaquin Phoenix the new joker movie is the backstory of the joker and the joker was like younger and the heath ledger joker was the older version in dark knight
[P a n d a C h a n] that’s not true in the slightest lmao
Starting off with Romero, his proformance was great for the time, considering the wackyness of the comic and the show. Three gun barrels out of 5, doesn't compare to what we have now, 2 buzzers out of 5, as the buzzers have less amountage containing graphic appeal and character development implemented into their ranking system. Nah.
Jack Nickleson, not too bad of a preforance, his Joker was too focused on his original however, and didn't feel threatening enough to be a villian for a brute like Batman, granted, back then the character of Batman wasn't as hardcore as today, yet still, like the last, doesn't hold up today. 3 gunbarrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Nah.
Heath Ledger was a fantastic performance, lore was hidden, like it should be, character development and motives (although somewhat unknown, but still understandable), and his relationship with Batman is what it should have always been, a ying and yang. 5 barrels out of 5, 5 clickers out of 5. Hah.
Leto is a very..diverse character. He was joker, but he wasnt. Now what I mean by that, is the essence of the "Joker" is still there, but he acts strangely in comparison with other interpretations, especially comics. The bright side is he fits very well with the world he's placed in. 3 barrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Hah. (Only because he fits in the context of his place in the universe)
As of now, Joaquin looks extremely promising, and I only hope to see good things come out of this. Hopefully he can knock everyone's clown footwear out of the park, because he's got big shoes to fill. Hah from me so far.
just saying your really gay
+dan sanders This comment gives me joy
thats tuff! And FAx 🔥🔥💯💯💯💯 *hed* *Dab*
I would say the relationship between Batman and the Joker in Batman 1989 is more "yin and yang" than the their relationship in The Dark Knight. In Batman 1989, the characters literally create each other: when he's younger, the Jack Napier kills Bruce Wayne's parents, leading Bruce on the path where he eventually becomes Batman, and Batman is unable to save Jack Napier from falling into the vat of chemicals that turns him into the Joker. In The Dark Knight, The Joker just kind of shows up, and Batman has to find a way to stop him; the "yin and yang" in that movie comes more from their interactions with each other and their personal values, rather than origins, which also works well. Personally, I feel that both the Nicholson and Ledger portrayals do a lot of things right, and they do different things with the character, which is cool. Nicholson definitely has a more sophisticated vibe, and I feel that his humor (a key aspect of the Joker) is played up more than Ledger's. In his physical and behavioral depiction, he's a also closer interpretation of the comics Joker than Ledger's. Ledger, on the other hand, really captures the ambiguity of the Joker's backstory that is present in the comics, especially in The Killing Joke, which Nicholson did not have, and I would say he does does the homicidal and horror aspects of the Joker better than Nicholson. Ledger also managed to incorporate many aspects and references of the past Jokers into his performance, while still making his version unique, which definitely gives his performance an incredible boost. Its also important to note that both portrayals are products of their time (a more comic-book interpretation vs. a grittier and more realistic interpretation); neither would fit in each other's world, and I think your opinion of which is the better portrayal largely depends on your preferences of style of movie and style of Batman story. Overall, both portrayals are awesome in their own ways, and are just straight-up iconic performances of one of the greatest fictional villains of all time.
That's a fantastic thumbnail you got going for this video.
Mike Berg we should get a joker that looks like that
As of before the movie JOKER
My list is:
5: suicide squad joker: I think his design was complete and utter garbage, and it seemed like they were trying to push the relationship of joker and Harley as an actual, functional relationship
4:1960's joker
I think that the problem with this joker was that he wasn't really a big threat to batman (this is one of my main problems with the jokers, except ledger and Jerome)
3:batman '89 joker
This joker was okay, but he's only bad because batman kills in this film, and he cannot match batman physically and his character is just plain stupid. Because he doesn't kill batman at the end of the movie, we get one of the worst villain deaths to date (there aren't really that many in the batman films, but I'm comparing this death to all the other deaths that have happened in superhero movies which are mostly marvel).
2:Jerome/Jeremiah Valeska
I really like these characters, and how Jerome can display an air of coldness and insanity and how Jeremiah seems like an unhinged, deranged genius which is a horrible thing, as gotham shows in the last few episodes of S4
1: Heath ledger
Heath's character was outstanding, and he always displayed how insane his character was.
I also think this character was so great because Nolan gave him such a free will in his film, the LOOK AT ME! Scene sent shivers down my spine, and another reason he's so great is that he's both unpredictable ( burning the stack of money instead of throwing it about was a good touch) and IS A FIGHTING MATCH TO BATMAN, which is one of my biggest gripes with '89 joker, and this makes Heath even more scary to watch, may he rest in peace
Heath ledger is the best one..

2 and 3 were extremely hard to rank. Phoenix did a phenomenal job in the film and i would say he is the second best live action joker but mark has been the joker for so long now outside of the movies that his joker voice is iconic and gets stuck in your head. Every time i think of joker, the animated series and the arkham games instantly spring to mind because of hamill. I was born in the 90s and grew up with the animated series and later on when i took video games more seriously i got into the arkham trilogy and it's been one of my most favourite game series' in part because of hamill. If every generation has a joker then hamill is my joker. However, there is no denying ledgers performance in the dark knight. It's one of the greatest performances ever given in the history of cinema and the main reason for TDK's success.
I'd say the top 3 are on another level to the rest. All 3 are amazing.
Then we have nicholson which was another good performance. This joker is less gritty than the top 3 but it was something different and a solid contrast to the darker jokers.
Romero was as campy as they come. This is the lightest of the jokers and deserves to be in the top 5 because of the important part he played in the history of the character.
I would probably put monaghan as number 6 and from then on i couldn't care too much about the rankings. I will say, however, that leto belongs at the bottom of the list. His marilyn manson joker was just...no. Even lego joker was better than that.

Nope
Daddy Derek
- Ledger is overrated, and on top of that- for anyone who has ever read a Batman comic will know his version was the least comic accurate- make up instead of bleached skin, barely told any jokes or laughed.... His portrayal was nothing like the comic version. Jack Nicholson all day..
Dangerous2099 that argument is stupid, in regards to the character designs the dark knight trilogy wasn’t focused accuracy to it’s source material
It was a more modern interpretation on the characters similar to something like the bbc Sherlock
Practically every villain had a new design on purpose
A character who fell into a pit of acid that turned his skin white would feel out of place in that universe
@@notadamyeahugh7458 you're right, the only character they were close too getting right was Ra's al Ghul and fucked him in the third movie. Ledger wasn't the even close to Joker, hell, Jared Leto was closer to the Joker than Ledger. Haha, Mob Boss with a Smile. Ledger would have been a better Zsasz
Ps based off your comment, you don't think he's a good Joker and not at all a comic book telling of Him. As if, he isn't the Joker and just some guy in a clown suit.
@@notadamyeahugh7458 I wasn't make an argument- I was pointing out A FACT- that Ledger's Joker was the least comic accurate or the least 'Joker-like' of all live action portrayals... Most people don't care how comic accurate something is, they just want to be entertained by compelling stories and characters. TDK had both and Ledger's on screen character was fantastic, no arguments, but the fact remains- it wasn't much like the Joker, which most fans just don't want to face up to or admit.

I do love that the gotham version basically got mad then died then got revived with his face cut off by a cult then has a secret twin then dies then the secret twin becomes the joker. The timeline is as crazy as himself
Jared Leto looks like he smells like mint flavoured soap.
Lol
Not one movie had the joker truly right. A few where good but the comic book joker is so much more insane, diabolic and evil.
I like Cameron Monaghan

Tears for no mention of John DiMaggio. Superstar.
Nice use of the Jokerman font!
Joaquin Phoenix’s 40 second camera test deserves 50 fractions of a gun barrel more than Jarod Letos.
The problem with joker having grills is that I’m pretty sure joker could afford dental implants or veneers
I misread that as "Joker having gills".
Jeff Solis
Yet the others opt for fucked up yellow teeth. Leto seems like the only Joker to visit a dentist.
Idk would he care I mean he cut his face off in new 52??
Also, what dentist or even tattoo artist for that matter is doing all that work on him?
Troy Baker because he voiced the quintessential Joker in Arkham Origins. Even if he took his cue from Hamill, his version nailed everything the character is supposed to be - impish, manic, gleeful, charismatic, fearless, whimsical and FUNNY - in just the right mix. Not to mention the character model, which ought to become the reference point for all future Joker designs, was phenomenal.
Whenever Hamill retires from the role, I hope Baker is the go-to Joker VA, he’s the only one who’s really captured the Hamill Joker spirit of playful chaotic evil without going overboard into overt comedy or joyless psychopath.

Jared Leto's joker looked the best to me. May have been the worst writing, but aesthetically he was #1
Tyler Kheang Leto I’m no way is better than Heath Ledger and Phoenix ( I don’t remember his first name )

Love the joker font at 3:49
Heath Ledger most certainly had the better Joker than Mark Hamill. Not even a contest here. I would give Hammil's Joker more props if not for that godawful 20th episode of the first season of BTAS titled "Joker's Favor", in which Joker is portrayed as a dumb bully who will beg for mercy once someone shoves his own medicine up his own ass. Ledger's Joker was the opposite: he was fearless and unstoppable. Hammil's Joker was more zany and flamboyant than scary. Sure, Joker is a clown, but he''s a homicidal clown, and homicidal is the key word here. Joker killed children, raped women, and intentionally tried to kill himself just for fun on many occasions in the comics. I could never picture BTAS version of the Joker doing something like that, but I can see Ledger's Joker doing it. That scene with fake Batman, where Joker films him on camera, is better than anything I've ever seen with Hammil's Joker.
Hamill’s Joker In BTAS was made for children of course he isn’t gonna kill anyone
