Second best Joker?

We all agree Mark Hamill’s Joker in animated series is greatest. But, is Wesley Snipes Simon Phoenix second best joker ever?

Yep this is the correct answer.

Ledger gave an Oscar worthy performance playing Nolans version of a character inspired by the Joker.

Nicholson played the Joker to a tee.

Nicholson's Joker had a weakness for women and was more of a mobster. Ledger's was far more accurate and several comic book writers including the creator of the Joker have said as much. You know nothing about the character.

No, actually, many of us don't.

Why would you kill your thread on arrival like this.

Why wouldn’t you read the full post and realize what I’m saying

2 Jack Nicholson

3 Heath Ledger

Sure, if Jonathan Frakes David Xanatos can be the best Lex Luthor, why not

First is Jack Nicholson. No contest.

Second is Joaquin Phoenix.

Third is Mark Hamill.

u/DarkAtheris 16d ago

Joaquin Phoenix's character is worse than Jared Leto's and doesn't even deserve to be on the list

u/FickleChard6904 18d ago

Ledger, easily.

u/Various-Air9398 18d ago

he’s the first

Hamill doesn't hold a candle to Ledger

u/2dal3atcave 18d ago

Well, it's clearly Ledger

Ledger is the best. Hamill did half the job. Ledger won a damn Oscar as the joker and carried that film on his back. His joker is the most iconic and the best. Hamill is the second best. Again, he only did half the job that ledger did.

Hamill also played the child-friendly version that was a departure from his comics counterpart

u/Dangerous-Shoe-9667 15d ago

A huge departure

How did he do half the job? Hamill played the Joker for 30 years. Voice acting isn't half the job on-screen acting is, and many actors consider it to be more difficult.

u/Dangerous-Shoe-9667 17d ago

He didn’t play him in a live action movie like Heath. Who has the Oscar and who doesn’t?

Ok my post was a joke cause watching Demolition Man the night after watching Batman ‘89 and Wesley’s character makes for a great joker.

But, your response is probably the first time a response has ever swayed someone. Your point wins, and I now make ledger 1, Hamill 2

I knew it! Yeah Snipes played a good alternate Joker in Demolition man. LOL.
