Touche Sarge. Though I would still have to say that ole' Jack wasn't too dark. Perhaps back in the day when it first ran it was dark (imo it wasn't), but by today's standards.... nah. Which begs the question. 20 years from now, what will Heath's performance be thought of by the "yungins".

Anywho, for those that like entertainment... They cannot be compared.

I think ledger did the best, as far as hitting the spirit of the Joker from the source material.

I haven’t seen any of the batman films because I believe life is far too short at, say, 100 years or a little under to waste any of that time watching that which was created for the sole purpose of getting money out of the pockets of the simple to please

And yet, you spend several minutes here. What prompted you to join the discussion about a film series you have never seen?

Heath Ledger is a shoo-in for the best supporting actor next January. Jack Nicholson was great, but too campy. I think a young "Shining" Jack could have pulled off a sicko evil Ledger type joker as well as if not better than Ledger did. Jack could play unhinged characters very well. That would have been great performance, its shame Tim Burton made Jack into the joker that he did.

A toss-up between Bette Middler and Joan Rivers.

I've not seen the new one with Ledger, but my vote is on him, as I have seen a few clips. Heath Ledger was an awesome actor....

Nessie - Har! But the question is "Which portrayal of the Joker do you like best?" not "Which joker do you like best?"

Just saw The Dark Knight again last night and it's hands down Heath Ledger's Joker. The last two movies have restored the faith I'd lost in the franchise. Can't wait for the next Batman with Christian Bale.

Brokeback Batman!! really if he hadnt OD'ed would it have been as good. I have only seen ledger in one film "Nights Tale" I would have to say for the part he played it was good.

Ledger was good in 'Ten Things I Hate About You' which is a clever modern teenager-friendly adaptation of Bard's 'The Tempest'. Worth watching if you ever come across it...
