The Joker

Agreed, but best live action joker belongs to jack.

Jack Nicholson is an obnoxious talentless hack who has only ever played Jack Nicholson as Jack Nicholson in every role he was ever in.
His Joker is a joke.

If jack nicholson plays himself in every role, then I guess he IS the joker, because he killed it.

Unironically all kys

Retard.

yup. that movie owned the Joker as its own, by the end, you forgot it was based off an iconic comic
all I see in the newer movies is a marketing man throwing a series of catchphrases and images at a consumer base. its anti-art

I really miss the days when guys like Tim Burton were hired to direct a superhero movie and encouraged to make it his own thing. Parts of Batman 1989 do feel cheesy and dated but there’s no denying that it’s a unique vision and not a corporate feeling product.

Cray how skinny Jack looks in this movie. Aging sucks, bros.

Much more visually memorable, I agree. Better compositions. Also ten years too old at 52

Prince was the best Joker we never had.

Somebody get that hothead out of here.

Truth^

He would've been ten times better when he was younger, but in a modern take not inspired by classical gangsters

It's honestly kind of amazing that Jack Nicholson used to be able to jump that high.

Agreed. He only signed on to play the Joker for the massive paycheck. He still seemed to enjoy himself but it wasn’t a role he put a lot of effort into.

Here we go

I knew some try hard contrarian would start saying this shit

It's impossible to say Nicholson is the best Joker because Cesar Romero did that type of Joker better in every way

I like Mark Hamill's Joker better in the Animated Series when he was just a mob boss when a clown gimmick. I've never been fond of Timm pushing a personal hatred of Joker and Bruce in the second half because it felt forced.

Mark Hamill, TAS is the definitive Batman experience. In terms of movies only Id agree though.

Gotta hand it to the OG gamer boys

He was actually based off the comic book joker, so technically he was the only 'true' Joker. Heaths Joker was a cynical, anarchist nihilist mouthpiece and the suicide squad joker was just Leto's daddy issue marerializing on screen. This new Phoenix one will sit closer to Ledgers joker in spirit, though not in performance. Nicholson was great, and with each and every passing Joker his performance just keeps getting better. It's funny these new jokers are retroactively improving his performance

It's good because it was cannon comic book character

We've been saying it since Dark Knight

Newfag

I'd say so considering the whole thing is based on a comicbook and the films take this childish stuff too seriously.

The problem is that everyone legit hated Bob Kane because he was a greedy jew who took credit for everything. Denny O'Neil, Adam West, and Frank Miller are the true Batman version of the characters

I love '89. One of my favourite movies and performances, both Nicholson and Keaton.

Jack literally got paid to dress in fine suits by bringing his personal tailor on board, got to hang out with his best friend who played Bob the Goon, and got paid a shitload of money to be himself, anywhere in the ballpark of $60-90 million. I can't think of anyone else of that time that could have pulled it off or be as believable.

Ledger's Joker was convincing as a maniac. Not zany like Jack, but someone with ZERO empathy and no regard for his appearance or anyone around him. Heath, like Jack, stole the show from Batman and that alone does the character justice when one can do that. I can't take anything away from Mark though. Joker needed a menacing laugh, something Jack added but didn't get to flesh out like Mark and Ledger's didn't do it enough. Its almost a tie between those three until Phoenix's can be judged. Something about that damn role is just so...freeing, you know? Jack mentioned that when an actor goes under a mask, even just miniscule like white greasepaint, brings out a caliber of performance unmatched in almost everything else they do.

Leto doesn't fucking count.

The next question is; who could pull it off?

My picks? Willhelm Dafoe or Johnny Knoxville. Both could bring something to the table.

It's true.

89 Joker was high camp.

I guess I also like Live Action Freeze because he was a big dicked chad instead of the Basedcuck in the animated series.
