😀😁😂😃😜🤑

One of the greatest casting travesties of our time is that Willem DaFoe was never cast as the Joker. He would have been perfect.

10 you 9 can’t 8 rank 7 them 6 their 5 unique 4 in 3 their 2 own way 1 heath ledger

Live action: Heath Ledger. Animation: Mark Hamill

Idk why, but my favorite heath ledger Joker moment is when the mob boss says "you really think you can steal from the mob and just walk away?" And the joker just says ya.

Tommy Wiseau is the best joker

Heath is the best. Mark is 2nd. Joaquin could suprise us all.

Mark Hamill will be my favorite Joker for 3 reasons. 1. His laugh 2. He really captures the Joker's dark personality and sense of humor 3. His dialogue in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker were some of the best Joker quotes I've ever heard.

1. Heath ledger 2. Joaquin Phoenix 3. Jack Nicholson 4. Romero 5.jared leto: what the hell i am doing here? Edit: Sorry didn't put Mark cuz I am just mentioning actors but Mark is surely on of The best

3:20 I totally disagree cave painting Joker was the best and most underrated joker of all time! 😡

The Jokers: Cesar Romero: The Prankster Jack Nicholson: The Clown Heath Ledger: The Anarchist Jared Leto: The Gangster Cameron Monaghan (Jerome): The Sociopath Cameron Monaghan (Jeremiah): The Psychopath Joaquin Phoenix: The Deranged Mark Hamill: The Joker

Heath ledger was the best joker

There's something about Cesar Ramero's eyes when playing the Joker. You just wouldn't have let him anywhere near a small child.

You know who would have been a good Joker? Michael Joseph Jackson.

Im un-subbing... how dare you forget Lego Batman's Joker!! lol

Jack Nicholson's Joker was inspired from the comics. Ledger's was more human and realistic.

R.I.P Heath Ledger, The best Joker and a great actor

Heath Ledger was the best!! No doubt of that.

I heard that they did a poll on this question and that a majority of people said that the best Joker of all time was... Rob Schneider!!! And he’s about to find out that being The Joker, isn’t as easy as it seems...

Cesar Romero: Never saw it. Jack Nicholsson: HA Heath Ledger: Big HA Jared Leto: Big NAH Joaquin Phoenix: HA?

1. Heath Ledger 2. Jack Nicholson 3. Joaquin Phoenix Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Joaquin phoenix is the Joker. Heath ledger was the Joker. Jared Leto a mafia member who wants to make name for himself.

“After the Jokers failed career as a Johnny Cash impersonator he turns to a life of crime” - this is the leaked synopsis for the joker film which may or may not be entirely made up by me

Superhero Showdown: Cesar Romeo's painted over mustache vs Henry Cavill's CGI'd over mustache

.1: Jared Leto: He has the mist screen time out of all of them 2.: Caesar Romero: He looks lowkey like my uncle 3.: Jack Nicholson: He once are my pizza pie without consent 4.: Heath Ledger: Had the least amount of time in all films, because we had to focus on Batman’s anime addiction .5: I hope you realize this is a joke

6:52 "about this guy" That lip sync.

I hope one day we get a Batman Beyond live action film with Michael Keaton as old Bruce Wayne and Willem Dafoe is an old Joker.

*reads title* Definitely Mark Hamill

Jack Nicholson: My favorite live action Joker, He was hilarious and creepy at the same time,He was The Joker ripped from the pages of the comics. 5/5 joy buzzers Heath Ledger: Great performance, He made The Joker his own, He felt more real and scary, The only thing that was missing in my opinion was the funny side, Yes there were some funny moments but overall 4.5/5 Joy buzzers Ceasar Romero: Pretty good Joker for the time, I give it 4/5 Joy buzzers Jared Leto: Terrible just terrible, He wasn't even The Joker, Just some goth kid on drugs that thinks he's The Joker but he's not. 0/5

4. Jared Leto 3. George Romero 2. Jack Nicholson 1. Heath Ledger

I get that it's animated but Mark Hamill's Joker is the most comic accurate and his voice and laugh are iconic.

I really liked Cameron monaghan's jerome in gotham as his acting was great and he had an original enough laugh and was completely craaaaaaaazy but I don't like jeromiah

Every time I think of the joker I picture BTAS joker.

In my opinion, the joker is such an interesting character because there’s so many different ways that you could portray the character. He has gone through so many different incarnations from being a wacky prankster, an organized crime boss, an anarchist and many more. This makes is so there’s not really a “wrong” way to play the Joker. The Caesar Romero version is closer to the character from the 60’s through the 80’s while the Jared Leto version is closer to the modern day character. And now, with the revelation that there are 3 different jokers being revealed, that proves my point even more. Each Joker fits their universe and their Batman and some have aspects that I dislike but I think that they are all good portrayals of the character. The following ratings are just my opinion and how much I like each version. Caesar Romero- 3/5 He’s more reminiscent of the older Joker that wasn’t a killer but a prankster. I haven’t read many comics from that era so it isn’t my favorite. Jack Nicholson- 4/5 He fits the weird, horrific, Tim Burton universe and he is fairly comic accurate. I think he was kind of old for the part but still good. Heath Ledger- 5/5 Definitely my favorite portrayal of the character. Not very comic accurate, but it isn’t a very comic accurate universe either. It is meant to be a more realistic and life like version of the characters and that is shown in the alternate characterizations and origins of some of the characters. He definitely fits the universe that he is put in and he is a different version of the character than most of the other ones. Cameron Monaghan- 4/5 I don’t love the design of the character but everything else is great. Jared Leto- 4/5 He had potential to be the most comic accurate version of the character. He is a version that is more of a mob boss guy and he definitely fits the universe with his tuxedos, alligator skin trench coat and purple Lamborghini. I don’t like most of the tattoos, some are okay, but most I don’t like, (especially the “damaged” one). I also don’t like that he cares about Harley Quinn, the Joker never actually cares about Harley, he just uses her and pretends to love her because it’s how he gets her to do what he wants. I’ve heard that this is expanded on in the directors cut of Suicide Squad though. I just really want to see more of the character and I definitely want them to give him a second chance. I hope they #releasetheayercut so that we can see more of him. Joaquin Phoenix- 3/5 This movie was barely a comic book movie, it was just a Scorsese movie but with the addition of comic book names in order to bring in a wider audience. I think that that’s genius, but in terms of the character itself, he’s not my favorite.

Best live portrayal: Ledger Best overall/comic accurate portrayal: Hamill Also Kevin Conroy is the best Batman by a mile.

Jack Nicholson wasn't playing the Joker. He was acting as himself.

Leto's Joker always felt like one of Joker's minions who was just... really obsessed with the guy. Not the Joker himself, just a very spirited minion.

Cameron Monaghan. He played 3 versions of the character each different in their own unique way

I was going to comment, but goddamn the rating system just drove me batshit insane. I’m just gonna grease paint my mustache instead.

As of before the movie JOKER My list is: 5: suicide squad joker: I think his design was complete and utter garbage, and it seemed like they were trying to push the relationship of joker and Harley as an actual, functional relationship 4:1960's joker I think that the problem with this joker was that he wasn't really a big threat to batman (this is one of my main problems with the jokers, except ledger and Jerome) 3:batman '89 joker This joker was okay, but he's only bad because batman kills in this film, and he cannot match batman physically and his character is just plain stupid. Because he doesn't kill batman at the end of the movie, we get one of the worst villain deaths to date (there aren't really that many in the batman films, but I'm comparing this death to all the other deaths that have happened in superhero movies which are mostly marvel). 2:Jerome/Jeremiah Valeska I really like these characters, and how Jerome can display an air of coldness and insanity and how Jeremiah seems like an unhinged, deranged genius which is a horrible thing, as gotham shows in the last few episodes of S4 1: Heath ledger Heath's character was outstanding, and he always displayed how insane his character was. I also think this character was so great because Nolan gave him such a free will in his film, the LOOK AT ME! Scene sent shivers down my spine, and another reason he's so great is that he's both unpredictable ( burning the stack of money instead of throwing it about was a good touch) and IS A FIGHTING MATCH TO BATMAN, which is one of my biggest gripes with '89 joker, and this makes Heath even more scary to watch, may he rest in peace

Heath ledger, no further analysis required

Cameron. I love Heath. But Cameron captures everything I love about the comics. Especially like 90s self aware stories. He knows how to play with that tone beautifully. I just feel oddly nostalgic watching him.

Perhaps the joy buzzers are a rating of how funny they are and the gun barrel is a rating of how threatening they are, and combined you have an overall rating of how entertaining they are

Heath died and went to joker heaven as god

Best live action joker: Heath ledger DUH Best animated joker: Mark Hamil OF COURSE Best small screen joker: Cameron Monaghan HE'S INSANE the rest are good apart from Jared Leto OH GOD NO

Romero- 3/5 gun barrels Nicholson- 5/5 gun barrels Ledger 5/5 gun barrels Leto- 0/5 gun barrels I really think Phoenix could be great in the role.

Starting off with Romero, his proformance was great for the time, considering the wackyness of the comic and the show. Three gun barrels out of 5, doesn't compare to what we have now, 2 buzzers out of 5, as the buzzers have less amountage containing graphic appeal and character development implemented into their ranking system. Nah. Jack Nickleson, not too bad of a preforance, his Joker was too focused on his original however, and didn't feel threatening enough to be a villian for a brute like Batman, granted, back then the character of Batman wasn't as hardcore as today, yet still, like the last, doesn't hold up today. 3 gunbarrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Nah. Heath Ledger was a fantastic performance, lore was hidden, like it should be, character development and motives (although somewhat unknown, but still understandable), and his relationship with Batman is what it should have always been, a ying and yang. 5 barrels out of 5, 5 clickers out of 5. Hah. Leto is a very..diverse character. He was joker, but he wasnt. Now what I mean by that, is the essence of the "Joker" is still there, but he acts strangely in comparison with other interpretations, especially comics. The bright side is he fits very well with the world he's placed in. 3 barrels out of 5, 2 clickers out of 5. Hah. (Only because he fits in the context of his place in the universe) As of now, Joaquin looks extremely promising, and I only hope to see good things come out of this. Hopefully he can knock everyone's clown footwear out of the park, because he's got big shoes to fill. Hah from me so far.

Unironically I think that the Injustice/Mortal Komat versions of the Joker are the very best interpretations of the character surpassing Ledger or even Mark Hamil. I love how each one is a mix of different Jokers from both the comics and the movies, they all are just the best parts of every joker, the gadget wielding, terrorism, destructive, sadistic, look/outfits, playful, insane, mentally manipulating, homicidal slayer, while still genuinely funny/giddy aspects of the character are all there in the three of the characters. Even though it may seem like some of the different silly and terrifying personalities the Joker has been given over time could clash, these games pull it off in a better way than the animated series in my opinion. Hell, in Injustice 2 they use horror like imagery for the character to symbolize the fears and insecurities that he brought onto Harley Quinn when reintroducing him while still maintaining the classic Joker that we all know and love.

Heath ledger is the real joker Joaquin phoenix act as the joker perfectly....

That's a fantastic thumbnail you got going for this video.

The dude who plays the joker on Gotham is great, probably my favorite performance of them all.

1. the dark night joker 2.batman 1989 joker 3. cesar romero joker 4. suicide squad joker

Worst to Best Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) Jack Nicholson (1989) Ceaser Romero (1966) Heath Ledger (Dark Knight) Cameron Monahan (Gotham) Mark Hamill (Animated Series)

“This town needs an enema!” was a great line, but Ledger’s Joker was so believable and psychological. His joker had real depth. Also, I’m not following the rules.

Joker’s moustage is the best Joker.

Those All-Star Batman commercials are actually quite good from memory, the main guy had a pretty good voice for Batman

I do love that the gotham version basically got mad then died then got revived with his face cut off by a cult then has a secret twin then dies then the secret twin becomes the joker. The timeline is as crazy as himself

Heath ledger and cameron Monahan is my favorite joker actor...of all

I like Cameron Monaghan

We need more of the "Let's get nuts!" scene! Every time they make a Batman video I cross my fingers for it!

5. Jared Leto 4. Ceaser Romero 3. Jack Nicholson 2. Jerome/Jeremiah/J (Cameron Monaghan) 1. Heath Ledger

Ledger 5 out 5 gun barrels Nicholson 4 1/2 gun barrels Romero 3 gun barrels Leto 2 1/2 gun barrels Phoenix looks awesome

The "I'm the joker baby" guy is the best joker

I had never noticed the mustache before you guys pointed it out. I can’t unsee it now

Mark Hamill (animated) & Jack Nicholson (live action) the best joker

Mark is the best Jack is 2nd

Heath Ledger's joker of all time 💯

Love the joker font at 3:49

I remember Cesar Romero’s painted over mustache really confusing me when was a kid back in the 80s.

Mark Hamill 6/5 Heath Ledger 5/5 Jack Nicholson 4.6/5 Cameron Monaghan 4/5 Jared Leto 2/5

Heath ledger is the best one.. Im waiting fir Joaquin Pheonix!

If you wanna good idea for how Mark Hamill would have done as the Joker with Live-Action, I would recommend checking out the episode of the Flash that he was in, where he played the Trickster, which is arguably not too dissimilar.

1. Heath Ledger 2. Mark Hamill 3. Joaquin Phoenix 4. Jack Nicholson 5. Cesar romero 2 and 3 were extremely hard to rank. Phoenix did a phenomenal job in the film and i would say he is the second best live action joker but mark has been the joker for so long now outside of the movies that his joker voice is iconic and gets stuck in your head. Every time i think of joker, the animated series and the arkham games instantly spring to mind because of hamill. I was born in the 90s and grew up with the animated series and later on when i took video games more seriously i got into the arkham trilogy and it's been one of my most favourite game series' in part because of hamill. If every generation has a joker then hamill is my joker. However, there is no denying ledgers performance in the dark knight. It's one of the greatest performances ever given in the history of cinema and the main reason for TDK's success. I'd say the top 3 are on another level to the rest. All 3 are amazing. Then we have nicholson which was another good performance. This joker is less gritty than the top 3 but it was something different and a solid contrast to the darker jokers. Romero was as campy as they come. This is the lightest of the jokers and deserves to be in the top 5 because of the important part he played in the history of the character. I would probably put monaghan as number 6 and from then on i couldn't care too much about the rankings. I will say, however, that leto belongs at the bottom of the list. His marilyn manson joker was just...no. Even lego joker was better than that.

My favorite Joker is Cameron Monaghan. He was great as Jerome and he’s really stealing the show as Jeremiah, for me he’s the perfect blend of all the past Jokers from movies and comics into one...and good lord, have you seen the man’s face, he was born to play the Joker, the resemblance is uncanny!

0:35 Love you Maso! lolol

Nice use of the Jokerman font!

Tears for no mention of John DiMaggio. Superstar.

Jack Nicholson. He looked like the comic book character and acted like him too.

Not one movie had the joker truly right. A few where good but the comic book joker is so much more insane, diabolic and evil.

I’d never noticed as a child that Cesar Romero had a mustache and now I can’t unsee it. 😂

Cameron Monaghan and Heath Ledger is always first place

It’s hard to rank the definitive joker because heath ledger just blows out the competition

Cameron Monaghan is amazing in terms of live action easily the 2nd best Joker for my money. And yes I know he isn't called the Joker. Its Jerome & then Jeremiah. But that's because WB and DC refuse to let Gotham use the name. Hell they won't even allow them to go full bleach or even all the way green hair. Even dumber is he can't even where a purple suit. Whicb is why it's half purple half black. With the dumb excuse it we don't want Gotham ruining or watering down the Joker brand. Yet that is exactly their goal. When they are planning to release two different Joker solo films. And also have Leto's version show up in pretty much every other upcoming or at least most every announced DC film.

Legend has it that Robin Williams and David Bowie were in line for the role before Jack Nicholson stepped in. And of course everyone knows that Tim Curry was cast before Mark Hamill showed up. I honestly wonder what those parts would have looked like if they had gone through with some of those previous choices.

From tv and movies: 1.heath ledger 2. Jeremiah valeska(gotham) 3.jerome valeska(gotham) 4.1982 5.1966 6.suicide squad joker (The only reason ive put heath and gothams versions higher is because i love darker interpretations of the joker like in killing joke)

Supposedly Joaquin Phoenix wanted to play Joker for years, so he is pretty passionate

6. Jared Leto 5. Caesar Romero 4. Jack Nicholson 3. Joaquin Phoenix 2. Heath Ledger 1. MARK HAMILL (THE TRUE ONE)

Go to 9:01 and make sure you have it paused... Joker has that outline around his mouth so that when he opens his mouth to smile and laugh, his mouth looks like the comic versions of Joker with the huge smile... the pointed parts of the outline on his cheeks causes it to look like his lips extend way past normal.

The thing I love about Cameron's Jerome Joker is before the face cutting his 'look' was quite wiry and tall with the styled up hair and devilish grin which is more comic/Hamil like than most of the screen adaptations. He became more Ledger-like with the face staples tho.

Worst to best: Leto 66 Nickleson Arkham series Hamil (Predicted) Phoenix Ledger

Phoenix is Joker for a mere few minutes really. I was compelled by how his character turned out by the end of the movie though, really want to see more of him..

I swear the mustache did not appear until you said something, now I can't unsee it

Heath in The Dark Knight was one of the greatest performances of all time. It was just so believable, and felt so natural when watching.

Robin Williams was in the running to play Joker in Nolan's Dark Knight, that could have been cool

1 Hamill 2 Ledger 3 Monaghan (both versions) 4 Nicholson 5 Romero Phoenix could be really high up there Leto is a good actor, but he’s just not a Joker imo

Troy Baker because he voiced the quintessential Joker in Arkham Origins. Even if he took his cue from Hamill, his version nailed everything the character is supposed to be - impish, manic, gleeful, charismatic, fearless, whimsical and FUNNY - in just the right mix. Not to mention the character model, which ought to become the reference point for all future Joker designs, was phenomenal.

Anthony Ingruber's Joker in the Telltale Batman, specifically the vigilante one, is probably one of my favorites
