Well, who do you think did the best job of portraying that insane pile of insanity?

I'm just hoping I didn't miss anybody. >_<

As for me, well, the only Joker I've ever seen/heard was Kevin Michael Richardson in The Batman. He really did sound demented, crazy and, well, the voice fit the character. A sick, twisted, demented, insane person.

So, who do YOU think was the best actor/VO for The Joker?

I voted Jack Nicholson (I couldn't decide, mostly out of nostalgia), but now that I think about it I think Ledger's performance as the Joker was my favorite. The Jokers I can recall (Romero and Nicholson) were buffoonish and wacky, while Ledger's portrayal was distinctive and depicted a truly twisted and disturbed individual, a reverse Bruce Wayne, and a reflection of the dark and disorderly city of Gotham.

Cesar Romero. I love all of the portrayals of the villains of the 1960's Batman show and movie, and Cesar Romero remains my favourite Joker whilst Frank Gorshin is the best Riddler. Their voices, mannerisms and physicalities were perfect.

Heath Ledger. I haven't really seen other ones, but he really portrays the idea of the Joker being really messed up. In the Arkham Assylum comic they say that 'The Joker can be a troublesome clown on day, and then the next be a physco killer' (Something along the lines of that anyway) and I think that Ledger really gets that idea across. His voice, his face, his general structure fits, in my opinion.

Cesar Romero. Classic Batman is always the best. After all, I don't recall Heath Ledger going all BIFF! POW! KRASH! on Batman :P

ZOT! KAPOW! The Joker with a mustache, Cesar Romero. He's the kind of guy who makes you wish The Joker really had a long, waxy mustachio just so you could see him twirl it. That's classic villainy, the kind that snickers and reveals its plans to you while you wait to die in an elaborate death trap.

Huh, didn't expect to see as many actors for The Joker as there are for James Bond. :P What I did expect was the majority of votes going to Ledger; its only obvious since he, I guess you can say "popularized" The Joker character. My decision goes to Jack Nicholson. His name comes up first when I think of The Joker.
blessed mother. 😈

I think this one is a no brainer in my eyes, being a modern child that I am, I love Heath Ledger. His role as the Joker felt so real, so genuine, more realistic, more true to the world we live in. I'm not saying this due to his death or even my signature, but he was by far the best, but that's just my opinion x]

Ledger by far. He captured who the Joker really was, and who he was originally imagined to be. I loled at the POW! statement, and your right, but the Joker isn't supposed to be like that either, ya know? Originally I mean.

Hell, I don't think any performance has brought me into a movie like his has. And I've watched a LOT of movies. Have you seen interviews with the guy? I can't believe they are the same person.

Actually the last interview with him before he passed away is so ...IDK creepy and moving at the same time? You can tell he's high quite obviously on at least Oxycontin or some other opiate because he keeps itching...it's sad. But watch it on YouTube.

Watchin' Ledger made me feel bad for... wait what his name? The guy who played Batman in the same movie.... /sarcasm
