Who was the best JOKER, Jack Nicholson or Heath Legar email this discussion to a friend?

nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies3 months ago

I believe Heath Legar is better as joker, because he seems to get into the part more. I have watched both movies several times and Heath puts on a better performance. I cant even see heath, he played the part to good. I wonder if thats because in the other batman movie they showed us jack before the tragic accident. What does everone else think.

Oh for sure Jack Nicholson, no doubt.

I respect the old school joker, but have you seen the new batman movie, because Heath had it in the bag. So did you see the Dark Knight, tell the truth.
thanks for comment

I haven't watched The Dark Knight but a lot of my friends told me that Heath is a really good jocker. As for Jack Nicholson, I've see his version of Joker a lot of times and he really is goodthumbup. I hope to watch the Dark Knight real soon so I can see and judge for myself. happy


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

I think Jack did a good job with acting, but wait until you see the dark knight.

Hands down, Heath is the best Joker of all time. When I watched The Dark Knight I'm praying that the movie won't end. I was really amazed how Heath Ledger portrayed the Joker. He set the standards of how the Joker should be portrayed. His actions and movements was so real, its very natural to him to become the Joker. Jack was somewhat a cartoon character type Joker but Heath was a serial killer psycho type of Joker. Heath looks very scary on that movie. His portrayal was that good that the title of the movie should be changed to Joker. I think he deserves an Oscar for that one. I hope he comes back from the dead and do another Batman movie. Overall, Jack was good but Heath was better.


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

I believe your right, I think out of respect of Heath and this movie there should never have someone else play joker. If you does when a Oscar for this part I will never watch the oscars again. thanks for comment

I thought Jack was the best one I have seen but now I have to see Heath and see what job he has done.

As much as I like JACK, being AUSSIE Im all for HEATH (RIP, son)

I may have to put both up there as the best.

NOW CAT women Ertha KITT, yes I loved the blond also in the skin tight leather suit, still has to be Miss KITT.

Jack did do good, but Heath change the joker character for the better. I wish he didn't die it would of been a great thing for his career. Also wouldn't it been great if we could see the joker in future batman movies. thanks for comment

I have not seen the new Batman so I can't comment on Heath Ledger I know he died before the movie finished taping and someone had to play some of the part for him, Jack Nicholson did a very good job in the first Batman movies.


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

Thats new I never heard of that, were did you here that some one else had to play his part. I personal have seen the movie 3 times and I think I would be able to tell if it was some one different. please respond


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

Sorry to disapoint, but that was Heath all the way through the movie. They finish filming the movie way before Heath died. thanks for comment

Health Ledger's performance is LEGENDARY!

His Joker beat's Jack by far. When Jack did his Joker I thought it was great but now after seeing Heath's Joker, I saw a huge difference in the character portrayal.
Jack's Joker was a clown, not scary at all.
Heath's Joker scared the he11 out of me.


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

Ya he was a lillte scary, I hope it didn't ruin the movie for kids though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. thelastwolf113 (1905)   ranked 53 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

This Batman series not really not for little kids, IMO. It is a much darker version of Batman and the criminals.
My son is 17, so no worries about him getting scared, we both enjoyed it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. shrashira (242)   ranked 1,549 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

My little ones want to see the movie.

Ages 10, 8, 6.

They think he is mad because somebody messed up his makeup.

Are they ready for this Joker, I don't know. Just as I did they are all growing up watching horror movies. Yep the classics from Crystal Lake to Elm Street. Those movies don't phase them.

Now let me break out the Exorcist and they all run for the hills.

I think this Joker would get to them mentally. I say this because most villains are over the top, but this portrayal of the Joker is more realistic as a crazy person than any villain they have seen before.

Whether they see it, I might have to flip a coin.


myLot reputation of 93/100. thelastwolf113 (1905)   ranked 53 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

His psychotic realism is what makes him so scary. My son, too, grew up on horror films. If he were still little, I'd probably flip a coin too.

Heath by far!

Let me just say this, I thought no one in a million years would be better than Jack. I talked trash, and more trash.. then I saw the movie.

I was wrong. Thinking about that Joker still gives me the creeps. But in a good way.

"Why so serious?!"


nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

I was the same way, I guess change is good. thanks for comment

Heath's joker was good - but not as good as Jack's joker.
Heath's joker had too much of johnny dep's moves (pirates) and nicholson's framework.
Jack's joker was an outstanding presence - look at the way he dressed with his crazy arse. Ledger's joker depended on the makeup. There was nothing else about Heath's to remember. (Again - his movements body language was all Johnny Dep.) His philosophy was interesting - almost made me feel sorry for him - he had no plans or control so he said. I think if Heath were alive he wouldn't get as much play as Batman!



nick14 (24)   ranked 7,376 out of 7,878 in watching movies  3 months ago

Come on Heath's performance was on the mark, infact I think he did better than batman in this particular movie. I love batman too and I think the Heath did better at acting then the rest in the movie. Don't get me wrong Jack did his thing when he was the joker, but don't you think he was just a little cheezy. Did you even see the DARK KNIGHT, be honest. thanks for comment
