Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson Who made for a better JOKER??

Heath Ledger, of course. I wouldn't have liked The Dark Knight at all if he weren't there! His acting was just sooo perfect! I'm glad he was able to play such role before he passed away.=))

Heath Ledger was the better joker even though Jack Nicholson was an awesome joker Ledger was just so much better then Jack was which is why the movie was so good was because of Ledger. He went out with a bang what a way to leave the world of giving one of the best performances in movie history at least to me he did.

I think Jack Nicholson was such a better joker. I honestly could have cared less about dark knight. That film didn't bring much to it. At least in the original with Jack and the rest of the cast it had it all. And it just went into more depth. It maybe because I prefer the old school of movies.

I love them both! It is so difficult for me to answer this question honestly. They were two completely different versions of The Joker though, thats what makes it difficult to answer. I will put it this way, they were both remarkable and amazing. And I think that neither of them can be replaced as The Joker.

I like the Heath Ledger joker version better because the story line, to me atleast, made the character more criminally insane. Both actors did a good job portraying the character, both had their moments. But the ledger joker was running around lighting everyone up in the street with a machine gun, blasting cops in the face with a sawed off shotgun. I don't remember the Nicholson joker doing that.
Plus, the ledger joker could wash off his makeup and blend in with the crowd, where as the nicholson version was stuck being bleached white, thus having to hole himself up somewhere between his escapades.

my vote goes to heath ledger. he was simply brilliant in the dark knight. he really deserves the oscar. too bad he's gone already:-(

Heath Ledger all the way. After Dark Knight for almost a couple of months most of my friends were saying
'Why sso sseriouss?)
