    I just seen it last night and Heath Ledger blew me away with his performance. He is definitly the best Joker. His death truly saddens me.

    No doubt that Ledger’s performance was amazing, however, for me, the best Joker will always be Mark Hamill. He captured this wonderful mix of goofiness and insanity that I truly loved. Ledger was a different kind of Joker, who was more insane than a jokester, which fits in with the tone of Nolan’s Batman movies because his attempts are at realism, and the role came to life because of him, but the Animated Joker, I think, is the closest to the character in the comics.

    This is such a hard call. Each Joker was ideal for the setting they were in. Romero was great campy fun with a series that was campy fun. Nicholson reinvented himself with Burton’s vision of the Joker, and no one can beat Hamill’s animated Joker. Ledger brought a new dynamic to an already dark character in a version of Batman that looks for more realism. They each have their merit.

    Heath FTW! But this likely has to do with me, because with characters like the Joker I think the darker the interpretation the better. And Heath went very, very dark.

    It wasn’t just Heath’s performance it was the writting. Many other incarnations of Joker were just about spreading chaos but DK’s Joker had a very specific agenda. He really wanted to show us the worst of ourselves; who we really are at the core. I think there are a handful of actors who could pull off a good Joker in future movies but story wise there’s not reason to do a Joker heavy story again any time soon. It will be interesting to see of Nolan is up for another movie. After all the tragedy association with DK you might think he wouldn’t want to do another.

    I haven’t seen Mark’s performance in the cartoon version, but out of the other 3 I think Heath’s was the best. His performance should really earn him an Oscar.

    I know he only played him on the radio but I think Kerry Shale was great as the Joker
