- The Joker is one of DC and WB's most popular and most profitable comic book villains of all time, and he has had several great incarnations on the big screen AND the small screen.
But how do his live action incarnations compare to each other. How do Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix's versions of the Joker compare to each other?

Beautiful video. Bravo sir.
I subscribed hard while watching this and of course a like. Much love and keep up the work.
Hello
That sounds dirty
@YeeterMando who says it like that?
Getting Jared Leto's Joker before getting Joaquin Phoenix's was the world's best prank
But good atleast
Imagine Joaquin Phoenix in Suicide Squad 2016 💀
@@gg_mydog968 there's a difference there. Leto's Joker was a gangster and a crazy person but phoenix's Joker was a hurtd person from the society and a mentally unstable man.
It was brilliant strategy, no performance could avoid heavy criticism directly following Ledger. They gave us a purposeful bad joker to make any future joker easy to accept.
Joker is the best villains of all time
Thanos: is that a challenge
Joker: (laughing like a maniac)
Vader chokes both of them
Darkseid easily outdoes thanos
@@tahashahzad6782 in terms of character i dont know about that, but in a fight surely its Darkseid
In the terms of character Joker is far ahead of all of them
@@riditsrivastava497 yes. A maniac who has no fear.
Wow! I wasn’t expecting this video! But to quote the Joker: “The best kind of punchline is the one you don’t see coming!”
I love the joker
The best part of jokers like Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero is that they paved the way for complex, interesting jokers like heath ledger and Joaquin Phoenix
With batman characters i usually have two categories, my favourite, and who i think is objectively the best, so id say adam west is my favourite but i think michael keaton is objectively the best, Jack Nicholson is my favouite but i think heath ledger is objectively the best
Jack Nicholson was already a complex, interesting Joker imo.
@@darthcaul9447 People are too ignorant to see the subtleties.
Dangerous2099 Yeah but there’s no way in hell Ledger took any inspiration from Nicholson’s at all!
Nicholson is more interesting and complex than Ledger
There are only two movie characters that have had two different actors win an Oscar for portraying them:
1. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro)
2. Joker (Ledger and Phoenix)
Yep
In Soviet Russia, two characters win an Oscar for playing one actor.
When I see Jared Leto as Joker- “Look how they massacred my boy.”
Heath Ledger's Joker is still my favourite movie character of all time. That was truly a 'once in a lifetime experience'.
Without Batman, crime has no punchline .
The joker left the chat
Mark Hamill will forever be the voice of the Joker to me
Same
Måns Ericsson Mark Hamill is the classic old school style and I really like it.
I didn’t grow up with Batman the animated Series so Hamil is not my favorite joker. I adore Heath, Jack and Joaquin
Same
@@lukeschroter9276 that’s fair. I just love his joker. Hamill really sells his insanity.
4: Jared Leto
3: Jack Nicholson
2: Joaquin Phoenix
1: Heath Ledger
Oh my I read that backwards the first time I saw this...
add the animated jokers like mark hamlls
@@netherking3988 mark Hamil is the joker
Mark Hamill ?!
@@valou-scaling yeah. Luke Skywalker voices the Joker. He isn’t really an actor like Robert Downey Jr. is an actor. He’s a voice actor.
"He was a joker not the joker"
This guy is savage....
This guy?it's eric my guy it's eric (the goat)
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
"As always sir, a great pleasure watching you work." -J.A.R.V.I.S.
There's just something so damn interesting about Heath Ledger's Joker he's smart,dangerous,sadistic,entertaining as all heck,a masterful manipulator and even pretty mysterious and even Joaquin Phoenix did an admirable job and when these 3 interpretations of the joker lose their temper is pretty unsettling 👏
In Batman, the joker thinks of himself as an artist, and he sees Vicki Vale as a great artist. He wants her because of her talent. But he didn't know that she had a connection to Batman, until Batman saves her.
Man, I'm starting to think that the 2020s is the decade of DC, especially with the impact of DC Fandome. I'm a fan of both Marvel and DC and I'll still watch the Phase 4 movies, but DC is starting to branch out with their films and I'm glad they're picking up the slack from a hit or miss decade in the 2010s. And, to be honest, the only Marvel films I'm truly hyped about is the next big crossover film, especially with rumors going around about the Russo brothers possibly directing a Secret Wars movie.
We literally haven't seen a single movie yet bruh
Noel Oommen What about Man of Steel 2 (if it does happen)?
@@natem1579 Stargirl on the CW was amazing! it's my new favorite show over the Flash!
I don’t know... Their last movies even if they sounded good were terrible. Man of Steel and Batman v Superman are one of the worst movies I’ve seen. Justice League was a mess, Sucide Squad was a joke, Wonder Woman was okay in the first two acts then the third one wasn’t that good (in my opinion I know a lot of people loved that movie), Aquaman was alright, enjoyable but nothing to get hyped about, and Shazam was probably much better than I remember (circumstances of when I saw it weren’t the best) so I guess that one is okay. But compared to the last movies of the MCU these one don’t live up to that. Ofc Joker was an amazing movie but it isn’t even part of the DCU.
@@ramighost I’m mostly excited for Black Adam, simply because I want to see how the Rock will play a villain. And The Batman. I dunno. Pattinson looks promising.
“You should’ve gone for the head!”
Joker: “Never start with the head the victim gets all *fuzzy* “
Dark knight & Joker are both masterpieces.
They sure are. :)
4:37 now that’s meme worthy
The Joker might be the greatest film villain of all time. I love Jack Nicholson's Joker but Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix really took the character to the next level and have some of the greatest performances I have every seen. Both men deserved the oscar and I can't decide which one is better.
@Cosmo has autism , you need to remember this is an origin story and even if you didn't like joaquin joker you have to admit his performance was great and if you think it was shit then you obviously know nothing about acting.
@Cosmo has autism fair enough even though I completely disagree, I respect your opinion.
@Cosmo has autism Not all Jokers need to be presented as criminal masterminds. The very reason this movie works so well is because he is NOT a mastermind. Arthur is not the Joker, he is just a man who happens to become a criminal named Joker.
@Cosmo has autism The universe around this movie should NOT be centered around Batman. That's what makes it special. Don't you get it? There are enough old school Joker performances out there. The reason this movie is so special is because it chooses to tell a story of a mental breakdown from Joker's shoes.
@Cosmo has autism For you maybe, if this many people like the movie then you can't suggest in an objective way that it's bad.
Finally a verses video.
Once the Robert Pattinson Batman is released, you NEED to do a video about the Riddler.
He will be the 1st NEW inventive Riddler like Jack Nicholson was back in 89. The Batman will be epic and I have a feeling he will be my favourite Batman after Keaton.
Will always like Ledger's Joker the best. Batman and the Joker are the same person separated by morality.
2:43 "It's like poetry, it rhymes."
“ he was a joke, not the joker”
That was savage!
No, he was a joke.
I have been waiting for the video forever. Thank god it’s finally here!
Enjoy! :)
Jack Nicholson's Joker was great for what it was. Yeah, he's kinda just being himself, but that's the beauty of it. Jack Nicholson is naturally the Joker, probably more so than anyone else. Of course the movie itself was very cartoony compared to The Dark Knight and Joker, so it doesn't feel entirely fare to compare his performance to Heath Ledgers or Joaquin Phoenix's performances. He was supposed to be a cartoony Joker. His performance would surely be different if he was acting in a more realistic Batman movie.
But overall I agree with this video. Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoeanix are both amazing, but in Joker we don't get to see as much Joker as we see Arthur Fleck. That makes Heath Ledgers performance still the ultimate Joker portrayal.
Jack Nicholson is not being himself, he’s being a gangster clown, watch any other Jack Nicholson movie and you’ll see that jack is a character actor. He doesn’t phone in performances
There's three things that bring out the clown
Fear, humor and style
Humor goes to jack as he's honestly the most out of the bunch who forego it for the other 2
Style goes to Joaquin as his style of the joker was very unseen in most media while still maintaining the feel
Fear obviously goes to heath, watching him in the dark knight alone gives me chills
This is the best video you have made so far Eric, I’m very impressed ( watched you since 2017-2020)
Thanks buddy. :)
Wow what a video! It’s cool how I can just see your growth as a content creator. Appreciate everything Eric!
All three Jokers are 10/10
Jared Leto as Joker never happened it was just a weird Acid trip we all Saw in Suicide Squad
2:12 eric carter is playing the main music for batman a telltale series. That music gives me dopameme everytime I hear it♥️
I don’t blame Jared Leto for being bad in Suicide Squad, he’s a good actor it’s just the writing in suicide squad was atrocious
He was a dick to his co stars tho
Leto's a great actor but his acting as the Joker was attrocious. It's not just the script which I agree, is awful.
@@bichlasagne3779 how?
@@bichlasagne3779 yeah how?
@@jaredanacleto9239 he did a lot of "method acting" on set. he even sent a dead rat to Margot Robbie lmao. I'm not aware of the details. anyway, I do think he redeemed himself in the Snyder Cut
Heath Ledger was brilliant! His character was brilliant on so many levels!
He sure was.
Even when the winner is announced, all these Jokers win! (Except Jared)
I was watching this in the middle of my science class. You're making great content Mr. Carter.
Im really excited FOR THE NEXT VIDEO!!!
Great Vid can not wait for the a series of unfortunate events binge watch
YaY another VS video
Great video! I just got back into the Batman/DC universe so this was well timed
Your welcome buddy. :)
What do you mean you just got back into the DC Universe? Have you been watching DC movies recently or something?
Thank you for excluding Jared Leto. I'm well aware that a lot of his work got cut from the theatrical cut, but regardless of that he just didn't have "it". Heath Ledger owned the role the first second you saw his face in The Dark Knight. You just felt that he was going to be a Beast and he most definitely was. I saw enough of Leto to know that he just did nothing for me as the Joker. I doubt a few more scenes would change that either
My favourite joker's laugh was when he was falling from that building + the background music was epic
I absolutely love the Arkham city music in the background!!! Perfect sync with the theme.
I thought it was the dark knight music in the beginning when batman appearance
In the wise words of count dooku
" I've been looking forward to this"
It hurts me to see high production videos with only a few thousand views and subscribers. Keep up the great work.
Thanks buddy. :) I really appreciate it.
Awesome three way battle dude. I did not expect this👍.
Thanks buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Here are my favorite jokers:
4. Jack Nicholson
3. Joaquin Phoenix
2. Heath ledger
1. Mark hamil
I can agree,when it said read more I thought you would say Jared leto is your favourite but no and the fact I said 'i can agree ' dosent mean I agree but I can
Since you uploaded the Tenet Review, you have been killing it with these uploads. Keep it up👍🏻
Really loved Gotham in Batman 1989 and Batman Returns it’s to this day the best Gotham City in any form of media just unbelievably faithful to the 1930s artistic combined with the 1980s future movies have no trace of this 1930s inspired look which is so unfortunate.
16:59 I agree with you so much. Your words reminded me of one Halloween during my middle school years where I desperately wanted to cosplay as Jack Nicholson's Joker but my dad directly [and even the online costume stores (indirectly)] said that no one remembers that character anymore, especially when regarding Heath Ledger's Joker and I got extremely upset at the time. In retrospect, his Joker was more comparable to a fad than an enduring performance. And it doesn't help that even during the 1980s, everyone still remembers villains like Darth Vader, Palpatine, and even Nicholson's Jack Torrance more than the Joker.
I agree with Confused Matthew in his "Batman" (1989) review when he said that if they got Robin Williams, there would have been an engaging performance than an actor showing off their ego.
ive been looking forward to this
I have been waiting for this sir
Your patience has been rewarded. :)
@@EricCarter12 omg forget PewDiePie you are the number 1 youtuber of all time
Let’s go Eric! Keep it up!
Those three ranked:
1: The Dark Knight
2: Batman 1989
3: Joker
Disagreed
Disagreed
@Thicc Skull I just think that Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is a bit overrated, but far from terrible. He is still amazing
This video was really well made!
Thanks Cooper. I always work hard to make sure that all of my videos are well made.
Nice Can't wait for more videos
Another fantastic video. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thanks buddy. Will do. :)
I think with Nicholson’s version, they were locked into a script they didn’t like and couldn’t change it because of a writers strike going on at the time. Kinda sad.
This was a amazing video Eric 👋
Keep up the great work
Thanks Jonathan. :) Will do!
Great video Eric plz make more triple verses videos!
Great video!
Great video Eric, how about next:
Iron Man vs The Winter Soldier vs Ragnarok?
[best movies from each trilogy]
I love iron man captain America and Thor are the best character
Winter Soldier is his favorite. It's also my favorite too. I would put Winter Soldier > Iron Man > Ragnarok. Ragnarok is hilarious but I didn't like it as much.
@@lifeloverNorris I agree. I think Iron Man is almost as good, if not as good as Winter Soldier. I love Ragnarok as well, but it's just not as good as the other 2:
Winter Soldier > Iron Man > Ragnarok
@KJ Beast Maybe however I think this would be a better comparison because it's the best films from each trilogy which makes it fairer. Either way I just wanna see another MCU versus video from Eric, his videos are great
@KJ Beast Iron man should win that one quite easily. I love the first avenger as well tho but it is not the one that started it all
Wow amazing video wasn’t expecting this. Subscribed
Thanks buddy. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing, and welcome to the channel!
Also please do give the video a thumbs up if you haven't already as it really helps spread this video around on CZcams's algorithm. :)
This caught me off guard. Great Video Eric.
Thanks buddy. :)
Let’s go he is doing a remastering of the dark knight let’s go thank you Eric
Your welcome buddy.
Beautiful video
Pleasure seeing your videos
Eric, you do such a great job with your videos! Honestly keep up the really well made work 👍 I may not agree with all of your opinions but I very well respect it and still enjoy watching your videos either way! The type of way you edit and write your videos is so entertaining and it’s very rare for me to get bored of it! I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos and I really gotta respect that 😊 you deserve all the support Mate KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO 👍😄
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy! I really appreciate it. I always out a lot of hard work into my videos and I'm glad it shows.
I am currently working on a Mulan versus video so you will have that to look forward to next. ;)
Thanks again for the kind words buddy. It's the last comment I've read before I'm turning in and about to go to sleep. And it put a big smile on my face.
Take Care!
Even though I love all the realistic takes on these comic book characters, for me I sorta prefer a bit of unrealism in some comic book movies. Films like the Christopher Reeves Superman, the Sam Rami SpiderMan, or Tim Burton’s Batman are perfect examples of that. Even though there ARE some realism in these movies, I liked how they try to go for some of the over the top stuff comics are known for. Still I love all versions of the joker. Minus Suicide Squad.
*my opinion*
Personally I really like Nicholson's for being goofier and without a plan. Joker can be anything from a joke that is trying to steal from a bank with a jack-in-a-box to the most evil character ever, and I think the "darker" Joker's lose that complexity.
I agree. Nicholson felt more like a Joker.
He's a mix while great I'm pretty sure that many would remember the sick man driven to madness and the pyscho who fooled everyone
Dude I fucking love your video I appreciate the effort into it keep it up
Thanks for the kind words buddy. :) I really appreciate it. It's comments like these that keep me motivated!
With the two newer jokers, the purpose is on the surface, it's easy to see why they do what they do, both for their own reasons and what outside forces have affect them.
With 1989 joker, you have to dig deeper to find the reasons and purpose of his actions.
With 89 Joker he was driven by narracssim.
Heath's Joker wanted to prove that society and human morality are a bad joke
Phoenix's Joker wanted to have an audience
Nicholson's Joker wanted power
We got the combo of humor fear and style
It's obvious who takes fear
Jack is the only one that goes for the humor in the joker
Joaquin is the joker that's more human
Jack Nicholson’s joker was the most accurate
He was random and unpredictable he had the smile the laugh and the iconic gear and the look
In this video you perfectly describe why jack was the most accurate joker but then disregard it, a lot of the time joker is unpredictable and does stuff for no reason and jack nailed that, he does what he does because he can he doesn’t need or want motive he just does he really doesn’t want anything but to see the world burn
Have you heard about Batman: Three Jokers? It’s a new 3 issue prestige comic that just had the first released. The Three Jokers there are the Criminal, the Clown and the Comedian. These three more or less match up with them almost 1:1.
When you actually think about it Joker saved Gotham City in The Dark Knight. All of his actions basically killed crime in Gotham and in The Dark Knight Rises Gotham became good. I am not saying he is a hero because he still did horrible things but I am saying his intention was to save the corrupt city
My head canon for him is that he’s an ex special ops soldier that went MIA and after being held hostage, eventually escaped and came back to a country that had forgotten him
The hell? His intentions were to show corruption in the system but only to expose it not to solve it. He did so not because of a sense of justice or benevolent motives but just for his own sake. If Joker would have won, organized crime wouldn't disappear it would centralize with him. Gotham would be treating corruption for anarchy and that's not a positive outcome
Jon Jonz my point is to say that he is trying to save Gotham’s crime by doing horrible actions and presenting his joker persona to trick everyone into falling for what he wants. I am not saying he is good in fact I do see your point by the outcome but I will say that he is the reason why Gotham’s crime is gone in “The Dark Knight Rises”. Also I do respect your opinion
Yes the music in all three films are excellent!
I clicked so hard my phone cracked
You clicked so powerful that my phone cracked
How
I clicked so hard I broke my finger and hand.
I think the story of "Joker" is the story he told to Harleen Quinzel to get her into becoming Harley Quinn.
Eric you are a legend
Thanks bro.
I love your videos Eric. Also imagine if you pit Robert Pattinson’s Batman against Heath Ledger’s Joker wouldn’t that be cool?
That would be intriguing. I would like to see him pit Sherlock (BBC) against Heath Ledger's version.
I read somewhere that the Joker's interpretation can be related to the thing america feared the most at the time.
1989: the mobs
2008: the terrorist who wants to destroy everything
2019: the random guy with a gun who can shoot at any given moment
Hey Eric, I was wondering if you could compare Batman telltale season 1 to Batman telltale season 2, I would like to see which has the edge over one, keep up the amazing work
a new vs video good!
I hope you enjoyed it buddy.
@@EricCarter12 yep
New vs video :D
You gonna make a video on the New Mutants?
I'll try. The movie doesn't come out for my area until early September, so I can't cover it yet.
Out of all my favourite Joker scenes, the one at the end of Killing Joke is the most hard hitting one. Just seeing Joker and Batman having an actual heart to heart moment, "I'm sorry but, no. No, it's far too late for that".
For Joaquin phoniex laugh you should have used the clip when he is walking to his bosses office in the workplace that laugh was quite accurate. Also how do you watch the new shows like doom patrol in the uk because I’ve had issues and always had to resort to dodgy websites which I’m scared will eventually break my computer. Love the video👍👍
01. The Dark Knight
02. Joker
03. Batman '89
👏👏👏 Well Done!
I still think the Joker we need is Mark Hamill as Joker in live action. I can't tell you how much I'd really want to know what that's like while we still have the man, the myth, the legend.
I dont think he wants to play the joker without kevin conroy. Thats what happened with the arkham games. He didnt want to come back but came came back once he heard kevin conroy was in it.
I also liked Caesar Romero when i was younger and Mark Hamil in the 90s and the Joker in the tv show Gotham was awesome especially with his origin story being from a traveling circus which would explain his clown attire
People always forget the Lego batman joker
Love the vids bro, keep up the good work plus when the godzilla vs Kong trailer comes out could you make a video about your thoughts like you did with the batman
Thanks buddy. :) Yeah definitely. If the trailer gives me enough to talk about then I will make a video about the trailer for Godzilla VS Kong.
@@EricCarter12 thanks man, really appreciate it.
Been waiting for this video for so long! I watched Batman 1989 before Joker, and Nicholson (like the movie) was...fine, but not memorable. IMO, for an “Agent of Chaos”, Heath Ledger’s plans rely on coincidence way too often, creating holes in that movie. Still, his is the best, because as fantastic as Phoenix was, he was simply a guy with a laugh “disorder” who spiraled into villainy because of a social outrage we get ham-fisted explanations for at best (of COURSE the first guys he killed were Wall Street brokers who just happened to know “Send in the Clowns”!). “Joker” lacks subtlety, which is a shame, but to its credit it’s left ambiguous enough. Not sure I needed to see Thomas and Martha Wayne’s deaths AGAIN, with the pearls flying in the air...
Yeah, excellent video, man! I loved it, and agree with your Joker ranking. I personally wouldn’t give TDK or Joker a 10/10 because I think they’re both a bit overrated, as much as I love the former, and admire many aspects of the latter. Joker is well-acted, has great production values, has an unreliable narrator, and is not needlessly violent, but takes advantage of the R rating; however, it’s a miserable film, more than I even anticipated for one centered on this character, and as mentioned, there’s a lack of subtlety that keeps it from standing the test of time as one of the best comic book movies ever (or what have you). Keep up the great work!
Nice vid dude.
Thanks George!
Jared Leto was the worst joke I’ve ever seen in my life
Jared Leto played the joker? I don't know what you are talking about that never happened.
Your right.
Pun Intended
I’ve been waiting for this video...
I hope it was worth the wait.
Eric Carter ay yoooooo you’re one of my favorite CZcamsrs and when you make one of these videos it’s always a treat for me, I love all of them please do more in the future ❤️
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy. I have plenty more on the way. Hopefully the next one will be a versus video on Mulan. :)
Eric Carter ooooooh that sounds greaaaaat I have an idea you could try when you get the chance, hellboy 2004 with rob pearlman and the 2019 one with David harbour
I have already planned to do that video for a while now. One day when I feel motivated to talk about Hellboy, I will get to making the comparison. :)
Dark knight: best story
Batman '89: best look
Joker: best tone
A perfect batman/joker story needs to be built on the moral conflict, have that dark, gothic look and have a violent and depressing tone. That why all these represent this world so well, all be it in very different ways and continuities. Each one nail a big part of what I love about a good Batman story
Dark knight is my favourite, though
Very great video
Thanks buddy. :)
@@EricCarter12 your welcome
My birthday is on the 25th this month and I would love you to do a Hellboy 2004 vs Hellboy 2019 for it
While I do like Jack Nicholson and Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger will always be my favorite interpretation of The Joker. Great video, Eric.
