Joker (Batman)

I never used to see the batman movies as i never enjoy them. But i saw the last one "the dark knight" and liked it very much. Especially, as everyone talk about, acting of Heath Ledger. He has done it outstandingly well. Also, the fight scenes were amazing. That's the only movie i thought of watching among the batman series.

I still feel his character in "The Dark Knight" is the best. Heath Ledger was simply amazing.

He simply lived the character. Its really unfortunate that he had to leave the world so soon.

Jack didn't play Two-face. Tommy Lee Jones did.
I liked Ledger's Joker much more but those two Jokers are 2 totally different characters in my opinion. It's the way they're written and how director wanted them to be and Heath was just perfect for Nolan's Joker.

I prefer Heath Ledger's Joker. You can still see Nicholson under his Joker, but you can not even see Ledger under his joker. That's what I call total immersion into character. And TDK's joker is so well written and so excellently acted that it comes alive and haunt people's subconscious. Some of them are even compelled to watch TDK over and over again just to see its Joker. Seriously!

That is a very difficult question. Both pulled off the performances of their lives (to that point for Nicholson, I think he was great in a few good men), and I don't think I could possible pick which one was better. I think that we think of Jack because he was the face of Joker for so many years. Sorry, I don't think that I can answer that.

In terms of how they play the character, both are good. But in terms of how Joker is portrayed in the movie, I like it from Heath Ledger. The movie "The Dark Knight", I think is the best Batman movie so far. I like how the story goes and the characters that are portrayed. I love the movie.

I have seen both films and I really do like Heath Ledger's performance on Dark Knight. With his captivating performance I almost forgot that the main character of the film was Christian Bale. Maybe viewers might fall into his character because it was the hype of his tragic and untimely death... but you cannot deny the fact that it was his best film and he just made an outstanding performance as a joker. The way he execute the scene and his portrayal of the character was just a phenomenon and it made a mark in film industry. He was actually one of my favorite villain in films I've seen. Its sad though, he was gone too soon.

Jack didn't play Two Face. Mr. Jones did. One of the men in black.:) Well about the joker, I'm definitely picking up Heath's Joker. It was awesome. He played it perfectly. He stole the movie. I was really devastated by his death.:( Really. Too bad we won't see him again as the joker. He's won an Oscar for portraying the Joker. I guess that alone should answer your question

I haven't watched The Dark Knight... so i can't compare the performance of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger... but i heard and read that Heath Ledger did a phenomenal job in portraying the character... but i also like Jack Nicholson because he is such a great actor... can be anyone who he wants to be...

Personally, I would prefer Jack Nicolson as a joker. He was more of really villain type of person on batman movie. But, Heath Ledger has great act on that movie, I will give him a applause for that.
