Joaquin Phoenix is the latest actor to tackle the role of the Joker in a live-action movie, and there’s a lot of focus being put on how much preparation he put into the role. After the performances by Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger, there’s a lot of pressure from fans to nail this character. Oh yeah and Jared Leto played him too.
But why exactly do fans put so much pressure on actors who take on the role of the Clown Prince? When did this character become something that we expect actors to go super method on, and lose themselves in the process? It wasn’t always like this -- Cesar Romero didn’t even shave his mustache when he played Joker.
In this video we’re going to take a look at the history of The Joker and how the media crafted a narrative that drove fans to expect a WHOLE LOT from actors stepping into the role of the Joker.

Joker: "Why so serious?"
Screen Rant: Well here is why...
"Why so serious?"
"You wouldn't get it."
His father was a drinker.
jared leto: "but what about me?"
What I really want to know , why isn't there a reboot of clockwork orange
He's super psychotic. Barely coherent.
Heath: “Why so serious?”
Joaquin: “Why is everyone so rude?”
Joaquin's quote is better because it fits better in it's respected movie
No Joke you can’t really compare them cuz they are spoken in very different contexts and both fit into the respective characters in the films
@@vandit1010 yeah you're right
Joaquin joker is pre Heath joker. He transitions to why so serious joker by the end of the movie
CrimsonRedSky why so rudeeee?
I think the issue is that Health Ledger perfectly captured the joker as someone with the ultimate dark twisted sense of humor who thrives on chaos. It's difficult to tap into that. Phoenix does a good job showing how someone could be driven to madness and murder, but I could not imagine the Phoenix joker pulling off any of the heists or things that the Ledger joker does. They are different characters by the same name.
True
Lmao It's Heath not Health
Who knows what Joaquin's Joker might become over 20 years
You can see it towards the end though. He spent his whole life being ignored and questions whether he's even real. When he's in the police car watching all the chaos that is directly caused by him, he's ecstatic. He affected the world in such a huge way, and in the end everybody is looking at him. So, I could see him getting addicted to causing chaos, and thriving on it.
Rachel Rogers heath ledgers joker is just a future version of joaquin phoenixs joker
I think playing the joker is one of the most challenging roles in movie history so far.
Heath and Joaquin did extremly good in their own seperate ways.
And Jack
The original Joker during classic batman , was the best.. the most entertaining one ,the one always laughing and he was actually funny and had a lot of energy in his role , the second best is the Joker was Joaquin Phoenix , it was the most human joker ,and it was a new interesting one version of it . ALl other jokers were terrible. Specially Jack nicholson incredibly over rated actor.
@@technoartfest8708 You, sir, do not know whay you're talking about.
@@LaraCroft-nh9sw THe original joker as envisioned by the Creators of Batman ,was a funny guy , not a depressing one like Jack nick was , Hence the name was JOKER , he is supposed to be a funny and maniac guy. not a sad and boring man.
I feel like the role of the joker is a great one to show off your acting abilities. Everyone has their own take and adds something to the character.
Or to kill your acting career.
Because he is one of the best villains ever created. Extremely complex, highly intelligent, unpredictable, a dark sense of humour, no motive except to cause chaos, fearless and throws in witty lines here and there. Like “if you’re good at something, never do it for free”. Most of us feared and loved him at the same time while growing up. Just imagine trying to play this role and create that feeling in your audience. Most people and villains fear losing something but the joker literally has nothing to loose.
One of the best? He is the best!
Exactly
He IS the best
Doc Ock is the best Villain ever made, Joker is punk.

Ledger: What can you say about Leto's Joker?
Phoenix: All I have are negative thoughts
LOL
Ledger is dead....
@@africkinfrick9836 he got the joke
💀☠💀
😂lmao
Willem Dafoe or Jim Carrey as Joker. That’s all I want. I’d even take a Johnny Depp Joker.
Willem Dafoe Joker already happened. But we call him Green Goblin.
Jim Carrey is the riddler though and be was great as that
I would kill for a willem dafoe joker
Willem Dafoe omg I would DEFENITLY watch that!!!
Billy Drago is the other best option
The Joker isn’t just a character. He is a mirror to the darkness that lies underneath all humanity. That’s why the smiles and clown like facade is so in contrast to the real world. Greatest villain in literature history.
Well said
In some cultures, the joker is an ancient trickster, sometimes evil.
To an extent. After all he's the "Joker" not Pennywise.
@@uriahuriah3792 Loki?
@@JishinimaTidehoshi Loki is a good example.
In our Native American culture there are hundreds of coyote trickster stories.
Mythical stories that have great meaning about choices. Almost like the Greek and Norse Mythology.
Honestly I feel so bad for Jered Leto, if you see interviews of Leto before he began his role you can tell his idea of joker was definitely what Joaquin Phoenix’s joker ended up being. You could see the sparkle in his eyes as he talked about his role. I genuinely believe he would have been a wonderful joker if they hadn’t made him an e-boy.
Leto's still a ridiculously talented actor. But boy oh boy did the studio take it in the wrong direction. Sure, have him be a crime boss. But... not like that.
He had the look and wardrobe of a mumble rapper, and drove a brightly coloured car with underglow. Why, Warner Brothers? Whose brilliant idea was that?
I think he just wasn’t right for the role :/ He tried at least
I actually like Jared Leto as the joker. But I like the Harley Quinn and joker love story more. They should not cancel Jared Leto's joker yet
@@juliantaffa4089 I think it's also bc the Suicide Squad happens in a different universe for DC comics. They play with that idea in comics. He had a similar look to the comic book version, yes the costume could have been calmed down, but I think it also is a way to see the difference between Jokers and placing him in the Suicide Squad Joker role.
I 110% agree and I've felt that from the start, especially considering how amazing Jared Leto is as an actor, and an artist in general.
The Joker is one of the few characters who has transcended the comicbook genre. He has become near Shakespearean level regarding character.
Agreed.
Facts
Yeah Penguin published a good article about a month ago saying "How Joker became America's Hamlet", it's worth a read (and I feel it was the inspiration behind this video).
Well said
Very much so. Brilliant character
To be fair, i never noticed he had a moustache painted over until you mentioned it.
Thanks for the can't unsee-ness by the BTW
I disagree about Caesar Romero. He loved the role, and he took it seriously. That show was immensely popular
Agreed!
Jack Nicholson: The gangster
Heath Ledger: The anarchist
Joaquin Phoenix: The mirror to society
Jared Leto: The clown
Jared Leto : the fu*kboy
Jared Leto: The Joke
Jared leto: the retard
Jack Nicholson: unparalleled
To me is more like this:
Jack Nicholson : The Histrionic (Jack Napier was the gangster, once he becomes The Joker, he gets rid of the mob, and was no gangster anymore)
Heath Ledger : The fascist terrorist (He talks about chaos and anarchy, but wanted a whole city to do his Will, that´s not Anarchy, those are more the methods of a dictator)
Joaquin Phoenix : The true Nihilistic Anarchist.
Cameron Monaghan : The sociopath (Jerome Valeska) and The Psychopath (Jeremiah Valeska)
Jared Leto: A transgender Catwoman on meth in a weird multiverse.
Cameron Monaghan’s performance in Gotham was seriously underrated to me especially for how young he was. He certainly seemed like he could really capture a great joker in the future. It really seemed like he was inspired from ledger’s joker.
Yesss. The only reason he isn’t more well known is because they weren’t given the rights to the joker. But he deserves to be known! Definitely too underrated
THIS
R.I.P Heath Ledger. The best acting preformance ive ever seen, maybe ever will see. Thank you Ledger. Some say he gave his life to the role, either way, you and your work will NEVER be forgotten.
Are you kidding me? They made Jared Leto's joker look like a mumble rapper, I'm suprised they didn't heavily autotune his voice too.
He looked like he wanted to be a Tekashi 6ix9ine stunt double
Quentin Lopa ikr the cavities look crazy
Ya wanna know how I got these sssCcCCAAAAaaAAArrrrRRRsssSS??
That was my auto tune impression
Thanks that you don't blame him, I appreciate
Yeah I know
Ledger played the best Joker that existed in the comic books' world.
Phoenix played the best Joker that existed in our world.
Łukasz Rybkowski You couldn’t have said it better.
Best way to answer
@rabidsquirrel73 Luke Skywallker, 90's Animated Joker, Arkham Saga's Joker, Animated "The Killing Joke" Joker. Practically, he paved the way for Ledger and Phoenix Joker
I have not seen the new movie but I guess it could be named anything besides Joker?
Brilliantly stated
Mark Hammill was CRUCIAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT of Joker from his role on the Animated series! Many actors used his persona and portrayal as a heavy reference point!
I like Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker, but I think most of the Joker's bring something special to the role.
Heath portrayed the chaotic destructive force of insanity that the Joker can embody.
Jack Nicholson embodied the more classic criminal mastermind Joker
Joaquin Phoenix embodied the more humane side and the fall into Darkness that likely leads to the creation of the Joker persona.
Heath and Joaquin both portray Joker well as the unreliable narrator that likes to make his origin multiple choice as well.
Cameron Monaghan did a great job portraying three versions of the Joker. But he had a lot more screentime to refine the character.
Oddly enough Christopher Nolan filmed scenes of Joker and Batman in a surf competition but ended up cutting it because it was too good.
You're thinking of Bale and Ledger skateboarding behind the scenes in-costume ;)
Do evolution of the joker please
I'll bet that's what we'll see in heaven.
@@etoenjoyer7367 j
Tell It Animated, evolution of joker. Please?
Heath Ledger as they joker is one of the best acting I’ve ever seen
Zachary Gordon Not at all. But if you can’t agree then you’re probably just hating. Authorities have recognized his role as one of the best method acting in history
Zachary Gordon that’s not heath ledget
@Zachary Gordon Why. So. Serious.
@@seantk642 he never said It was he said he was the best joker and actually was that why after dark knight they stop an did the rising kight with Robin n cat woman
@Zachary Gordon the suicide squad joker is jared Letos joker dumbass🤦 did u even watched the video? Heaths potray as joker was indeed one of the best
If I were to rank the actors I would go with
1. Joaquin Phoenix: I know I know Ledger is everyone's favorite but watching the physical brutality Joaquin put himself through when he was preparing is just astonishing, the body language throughout the film is a treat to watch and having him on screen the whole time really helped
2. Heath Ledger: One of the greatest performances in film history, Heath did incredible and nailed the mental side of things where as Joaquin nailed the physical side
3. Jack Nicholson: Brought a proper dark side to the character as well as seriousness which forever shaped the future of the Joker as a film character
4. Mark Hamil: I know he only did voice acting but in terms of an animated Joker no one does it quite like Hamil but I'm also glad it stays as just a vocal preformance because I don't think he would do physically very well for the character
5. Jared Leto: Only thing saving this preformance is the fact that Jared took the role seriously and the movie took the character seriously
6. Cesar Romero: I'm sorry but this preformance was beyond ridiculous and can't be looked at seriously
Jack Nicholson is the quintessential joker. He mixed in Cagney from White Heat w/ some Romero into his toolkit for the role. I’m always interested to see different interpretations & flowing creativity. I want to have fun. Everyone’s so stuck on this character. Like Joker said “Why so serious?” “This town needs an enima!”
Heath Ledger... what a legend. His prortrayal of the joker was undoubtedly the best thing ever, and having Joaquin Phoenix's show how the joker became the joker.... WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!
One showed us who is the Joker and the other showed us how he became the Joker
@@djantouahmed7319 yes exactlyyy 🙌🙌
Umm that was the joker. It was all a jokes. You know that right?
@@elidyson256 you talking to me or someone else?
@Still Nada Well, that‘s your opinion and it surely comes down to taste rather than any definitive right or wrong, but I found DeVito‘s Penguin just „too much“, and not in a good but in a childishly ridiculous way, and I was 16 at the time.
Everyone: Jared Leto didn't take on the role seriously!
Jared leto: *Took on the role seriously with his heart, mentally and physically.*
The producers: Didn't take Jared's life's seriously with the script they handed him!
He shaved his eyebrows and we talking about mustache
jared didnt take the script he went method the whole time...
True
Yes, because taking it seriously means sending used condoms to your Co stars along with other things...
Funny but only girls like leto joker.. guys cant stand him.
I defiantly believe that playing the Joker role has to be taken to the upmost extreme, considering the forts that Heath,Leto, and Phoenix put into their characters. Along with this, playing the joker should be a respectable privilege, because it is so iconic and difficult.
Jack Nicholson also warned Heath of potential trauma playing the role. I'm sure that added to the hype.
actually Jack Nicholson clarified that he was warning Heath about the sleeping pills he was taking
The joker isn’t a cursed role. It’s an epic role that over-scared the viewers into believing that you can only play one by being one. People need to study the definition of “acting” more.
in the 1950s, everyone wanted to play Othello or Hamlet. Today, it's the Joker.
Right? I always found the stories of Jared Leto’s pranks and antics pathetic. It comes off as performative and totally unnecessary.
It’s called method acting and i can confirm it is… smh at all these kids
Method acting is about channeling.. "Spirits", it's very real and dark, actors after that really either go to therapy for the rest of their lives, or they don't remember who they are, and stay in character off set as well, heath ledger is a perfect example, their are bjnch of videos talking about his METHOD, he locked hilself in a hotel for four months only dleepi'g two hours a day, meditating on very disturbing images, doung a ritual.
It is one of the reasons why Method acting gets criticized and is generally considered unsafe for actors. Most actors do not know how to turn the intent off once they are done working on a production.
it went from someone who couldn’t shave a mustache for the role to someone losing over 50 pounds for the role
AND someone losing his life to the role.
toe bro did you not even watch the video ?
remember the silly mustache pheonix had in "her"?
I believe he said in an interview that he lost 15 pounds and not 50.
Phoenix said that the 50 pounts thing was a rumor and that he only lost like 20-25 pounds.
Tbh the first joker I saw was leto's and I actually loved his character and his scenes with harley too, and then watched heath ledger's portrayal and joaquin's. They both were legendary. I think because of all the expectancy and comparison with previous jokers is what made leto's joker look really bad.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger he was an absolute legend and may he Rest In Peace
he ded?

I can't stand it when people give hate to Jared Leto for playing a bad Joker, trust me, I hate his version of Joker as much as the next guy but he did what he could, it's the director's fault for making it bad.
Edit: Ok well after hearing that Leto tried to get the Joker movie cancelled because he wouldn't be playing the Joker, that's kinda messed up.
I agree, people lovee to hate though.
finally someone who understands and isn't hating lmao
I agree
to be fair the Hole movie sucked so even Heath Ledger could not have carried it
@Alexander Rosario the movie sucked so it doesnt matter who and how acted as a Joker thats what everyione is saying
Even in the intro Joaquin's movie version, we can already feel the weight of Joker's difficulties in life
Fun fact: the joker is based on our generation like a mirror of what we're afraid of and more...
Interesting how the Joker role has become this generation's Hamlet.
@@nolimitarmani Hamlet is a role that is considered so hard and intricate that only the most talented actors can take it on. Being able to play Hamlet demonstrates some serious acting skill while flirting with insanity.
@Blackpilled Saint It's the Shakespeare play that Lion King is based off on. It was arguably Shakespeare's best work. It's about a shattered son acting upon the request of his late father to revenge the latter's murder. If you want to watch it, I recommend the David Tennant version. Benedict Cumberbatch has also played Hamlet in a more recent rendering but I haven't seen that one yet (it's on the to-do list).
@321Ian123 i think leo can take on the role. just my thoughts though
puffinsunday muffin Leo would be a great Joker. His style of acting is borderline psychologically thrilling & his improv would suit such a role I think.
Damn the actors meltdown to pretend to be him an not even near the comics a part this
Imagine Depp plays this role, and he says: "remember this day when you almost got the Joker"
But in a much more darker way.....
XD
I would definetely watch that
Imagine Monkey D Garp playing it
I always tought deep played joker in the dark knight
I actually loved them all. Ceaser, Jack, Mark, Heath, Jared, and Joaquin. They all brought something awesome to the character.
Leto got a raw deal because they axed most of his scenes in Suicide Squad but he redeemed himself in the Knightmare scene in ZS's Justice League
The way people reacted when Heath Leger was cast made me always wait to see a movie before judging the acting choice. Like Robert Pattinson as Batman
Jared Leto’s Joker was seriously like the porno parody version of everyone else’s Joker

You mentioned that “Joker” has mixed reviews: some critics absolutely loved it, going so far as to call it “a masterpiece”; while others have called “Joker” a complete failure and slammed the film. But.... there’s one thing that all critics have unanimously agreed on: **Phoenix was unbelievable**. Even critics that hated the film agree on that one aspect, Phoenix was made for the role.
Those who decided to bash it were all riding the media made hate wave. There can be no other reason to justify that a film that received raving reviews and grabbed the top prize at Venice, suddenly became a punch bag weeks later. I'm an India and lemme tell you, I found atleast 5 critics here borederline bashing the movie with the same ' Glorifaction' excuse. Those idiots were also riding the bandwagon of sjws and were rightly put n place by a local director (whose film was bashed in same way for being too violent barely months ago but still grossed tons of money as the viewers loved it). He called those critics as Parasites who injure movies more than they help. He said that an critic who is far more interested in social chapter of a movie than the 22 different types of Crafts that make a movie, is not a critic.
Steezy Mac totally agree that audience score is a better reflection of movie quality. I usually ignore the critic score when I check Rotten Tomatoes, critics have so much content to evaluate and use to judge a film based on when really all I need to know to decide whether to see it is, “did you enjoy the film, yes or no?”.
Actually, in Europe pretty much every critics loved the movie...
Yeah, the prick who narrated this, was a moron. Besides the fact that even a 2 year old knows leto was a joke.
Most of the bad reviews from both critics and "audience" (i use that term sparingly since a lot of people just listen to what the media says without watching the film and deciding for themselves whether it was bad) come from the media that was branding it with a political affiliation; calling it a movie for "Incels" and "Alt-right" radicals. That is bullshit. I miss the days when movies could make statements or provoke thought without being branded with a political ideology or put with a group of people to be written off. If the movie wasn't boring, provoked thought and was generally well made, then it was a good movie. Critics, audiences and social media personalities are not good sources for whether something is good or bad. The only truly reliable way to know if it is good or bad is to watch it for 15 some odd bucks.
Oh, explaining why actors take playing the Joker so seriously is TIGHT!
Cesar Romero didn’t put much into the “Joker” character because it was a campy kids show that didn’t pay the actors hardly anything! The biggest perk of the job was eating at the cafeteria where they might run into somebody who is casting for a movie…..
Honestly, Jared Leto's joker wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't go with the punk goth route. Like Joker would never get tattoos wtf.
Jared leto shouldve kept making music and keep away from things he doesnt know anything about. i wouldn't go to a mechanic if i wanted a cake. His dream of being an actor should've stayed as a dream an nothing else. Now his music AND acting is pathetic. i wouldn't be surprised if he overdosed too...
I liked only one of his tattoos, the hand mouth. It would kind of make sense. The joker is known to put on this smile, look insane to everyone, even though he does have his serious moments they always go back to his insane smile. I'm pretty sure if the Joker got to much into the seriousness he would put the hand over his mouth and try to pretend he's still the same giggling man we all perceive him as.
Jaret leto is good actor in bad writing
Exactly, I don't see him really sitting there letting a tattoo artist up close asking him if he likes font of the damaged tattoo and if he's sure
Agree. Jared Leto is actually a good actor. Hell the dude even won an oscar already. But when a movie is trash not even the world's best actors could save it.

I don’t know why but I find it funny thinking of Heath Ledger getting ready to act, like any normal person, and then he continues to do some of the most terrifying performances ever
I think the Joker is hands-down, the best fictional villain of all time. He’s even more interesting and diabolical than the devil, imo. I love what each actor brings into their portrayal of him.
…Except Jared Leto. Especially that laugh. “Eh, eh, eh, ehhh.”
Zac Efron as Ironman is funny now cus what if I told you one day Edward from Twilight is Batman
🤣🤣🤣
Yes
At least he has bat powers and not roam around telling I am rich
Lmao u right
well if you’ve watched roberts other movies he’s actually a really good actor
I feel like the only other person who can play joker after “The joker” move is Johnny Depp, tbh I feel like all his other films would lead up to this one... he’s a great actor and always takes on different roles and turns them into a masterpiece
Fr
Honestly, Willy Wonka, Grindelwald,jack sparrow all kinda deranged he would be perfect.
Captain Joker xD
Idk, he hasn’t really acted in anything in decades. Just phoning it in. I doubt he has the tenacity or willpower at this stage to be a phenomenal Joker.
Johnny Depp would make an amazing Joker, IMO. I think he could really add something new to the role.
rip heath ledger, his most famous line is
*why so serious?*
That line will never be forgotten R.I.P
They all fit their respective movies really well, even Leto. He did a great job with the not so great writing he was given to work with. Following Ledger's heels, Leto had to do something a little different, if Phoenix had done his movie right after Ledger everyone would've said he tried to copy Ledger.
I can't be the only one to think Pheonix should keep acting as Joker.
Well..we don't have Heath Ledger anymore.. so he's the only one that can carry it..
I feel like Johnny Depp would be great and closest one to Heath Ledgers Joker. J. Phoenix is great as his own Joker aswell tho.
@@enki2450 right.. roles like this are perfect for him
@@winterbear4949 You know not only...famous people can act, right? There are billions of people in this world. I'm very sure that someone besides 3 people can pull off a good Joker. Dont reach....
Nah, let's see what someone else can do with the role.
Can we be honest about Jared Letos Joker? Jared’s acting wasn’t that bad but what really killed the character was the look they decided to go with.
KatZai23 I actually didn’t hate the smile tattoo on his hand. Had it been done right it could’ve been “joker hiding behind his smile” which is somewhat brilliant. But the rest of the look served no purpose. Which is a damn shame
His look was bad, but he had to commit his acting to that look. I only think his acting was terrible because of the Joker they made for him. Honestly how do you even behave dressed like that?
His acting was actually pretty immersive. The outfit was less than ideal for the joker's original and ideal but still not too bad. Don't really get why everyone complains about it. Seemed to fit the theme of suicide squad in my opinion.
Frankly, Jared Leto’s everything was laudable, brilliant.
Amethyst Moonshadow Because the Joker doesn't seem like the person who would go to a tatoo artist and say "hey can you write "Damaged" on my forehead in times new roman or something like that?". He doesn't look like a deranged psycho, he doesn't look like a crime lord, he doesn't look like a insane caricature of a clown, he doesn't look like anything the Joker is usually associated with. He looks like a gangsta. Maybe a crazy one, sure, but not The Joker. Could be someome that idolizes him or something like that, for sure, but most Joker incarnations don't even think they are crazy, even less so "damaged".
Mouth hand was good tho.
The role is also an academy award winning role, and can redefine an actor’s career trajectory.
Leto is probably the only actually insane person to play the joker.
I kinda feel bad about Jared, he tried so hard and ended up barely being on screen and everyone hating him lol
daniisaurushax it’s so sad lol it’s not even his fault
yea real sad, he was trying so hard too, giving people rats and used condoms thinking that is what the joker is about, lmao hes an ass
@@holycrapthatsalotofketchup253 So what he wasn't perfect? It's not like the script they gave him was anything like Joker either.
Well he went on to start a cult so...
Because the other Joker already set the bar so high, imagine heath ledger Joker got oscar, Joaqin joker got oscar, and then leto's joker in middle of them,

Although Romero's Joker was played for 'camp' and usually not taken (very) seriously, he was actually quite remarkable in the context of the TV show. The darkness was usually camouflaged with some over-the-top visual joke... Like when Joker escaped jail by blowing up another inmate with explosives during a baseball game to distract from his being launched over the prison wall to 'freedom'. In the current movies that scene would have been Horrific..! I also think the choice of just painting over his moustache was inspired Badass...
It was also an accurate portrayal of the Joker as he was in the Silver Age.
I feel like Jared Leto’s joker felt different cause it was more in modern time, with the typical gangster having a lot of questionable tattoos (hence how the Joker looks) and also because Harley Quinn is involved, he was to change his persona to a way he wouldn’t really use if he was up front with Batman because Harley Quinn was still sane and normal (not saying she’s not sane or normal now but she literally fell into a pool of acid plus went on 2 suicide squad missions)

@@whom.d2549 he played the role that was given to him well, its the role that was given to him that we hated
in interviews before the movie was filmed his vision of the joker was the one jaquin pheonix played, so dont hate leto hate the producers
Leto has been literally the one actor WHO DIDN'T GET THE JOKE
Joaquin: "You wouldn't get it."
@Zokersghost Leto had 5 minutes of air because he was soooooo bad.
Leto is a much stronger actor than phoenix not his fault he got stuck with a joke of a script in a joke of a movie but Phoenix snooze fest joker ain’t no winner either , Nicholson had the best joker because it was the best written character
@@youtubisashoe leto is a better actor than Phoenix smh😂😂*Gladiator coughs *Joker coughs *Walk the line *The master I want to agree just to please your man crush, but his only accomplishment is looking young while on his 40s, he's good but it's like comparing a Jimmy Kimmel with David Chapelle, Phoenix is at another level
@Alex Davies joaquin pheonix is one of the best actors of all time u cant blame him for laughing when getting compared to goddam jared leto

I like "He really enjoyed playing the character and was in good spirits" a lot more than "He went too deep into the character and ODed because he was going insane".
I just saw Joaquin's Joker. It was interesting to realize at the end, that it was probably meant that everything that happened in the movie, other than the very end, in the hospital, was all in his mind. I got the impression at a certain point, that how it happened was not actually how it did, but then it seemed that it was all just imagination.
Same here!! I wondered if he was actually just insane for real and nothing happened.
The role of Joker is like Defense against the dark arts
Read. Another. Book.
@@ouruncle1804 imagine complaining about the massive popularity of a Warner Bros related franchise in the comment section of a Batman/Joker video
It's cursed?
Thanks for the likes guys!! :)
Everything Fun
Yup. XD
Jared Leto's joker was more like a pretty boy tryna be a gangster.
Ally yeah except for all the murders and other crimes.
Lmao and the teen girls love it
@@nadeemkevka275 he's prob the candice swanepoel for girls
Leto's Joker was not smart enough. The way he tried to trick people was not cunning enough.

Did you know: "Mera Naam Joker" is the fourth-longest film in India, with a run time of 244 mins. (4h 4min). wikipedia.org
I imagine that a good joker is a genuine deal breaker. Like, if your movie has a good joker, it'll do well. If you play a good joker, your career is set and you are adored. No doubt in my mind, if Heath survived to this day, he'd probably be among the A-listers easily.
I just rewatched the dark knight 3 days ago and I already kinda wanna watch it again. That movie is like a drug
Actor loses weight to play role
*he's insane*
Christian Bale in the Mechanic: "hold my diet plan"
I think you mean The Machinist.
What about the boxer ? With mark wahlberg, Christian bale boned himself for that role
It's the Machinist, and his next movie was Batman Begins. Major sudden weight change in this guy's life.
Same for ford vs ferrari
50 cent : hold my effen
Jack Nicholson like they said just let himself have fun with the role.
Heath ledger showed his great acting ability.
Jared Leto went a different way to not follow Ledger and got screwed by how much hit the floor.
And Joaquin Phoenix I think had to reel it in a little bit cause I believe he's already a little crazier than the Joker.
Tui khankirpola
Jack nicholas joker was perfect it was the light comedy evil joker it was meant to be heath joker was too dark but played it perfectly and the films were superb leto done ok but the film was shocking!! I've not seen the new one yet but right now for me jack still has the edge
This comment
@@davywelsh5671 To each their own. Nicholson was great in his own way, but Phoenix and Ledger brought it to greatness. Leto was just HUNKA HUNKA
@@headsplayzone3975 Kan? Kotha toh thik bolse
A GREAT FILM TO WATCH to show his versatility!!! IM STILL HERE.
that and Eslk the line are great examples of how Phoenix can TRULY IMMERSE himself into a role and TRULY become that individual!
He and his brother River are 2 of the greatest of all time! (Bless and rest poor River's soul. The night he passed away at the Viper Room.... Flea from RHCP was there and actually rode in the ambulance tot he hospital with River)
I still remember the night that happened! 💔💔💔💔😔😔😔😇😇
Heath was unbelievably talented I mean UNBELIEVABLY ! Not just with being joker . His versatility is like no other . I’m not discrediting other actors talent at all but Heath is showing what acting is all about . Completely living that character as truthfully as possible. I believe Heath is the best joker of all time and one of the best actors Hollywood has witnessed.
*why so serious*
*i use to think my life was a tragedy but now I realize it’s a comedy*
Joaquin and Heath and mark Hamill are my favorite jokers
What about "he's a hunka hunk hunk"?
And dont forget "You ever danced with the devil by the pail moonlight?"
I would also add in "without me you're just a joke, without a punchline!"
And of course "Nice of you to say, Bats, but you of all people should know, there's plenty wrong with me."
"Behind the stern and batarangs you're just a sad little boy in playsuit, crying for mommy and daddy. I'd Laugh if it wasn't so pathetic. Oh what the heck I'll laugh anyway HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
-Mark Hamill as the Joker, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Lies. Cesar Romero is best joker!
Joker: Why so serious?
Also Joker: You wouldn't get it.
Because *That's Life*
In the words of Heath Ledger's Joker: "Why so serious?!"
Kinda ridiculous that such a pressure is put on Joker actors.
It's amazing to me how the Joker is so Iconic of a villain that people see believe that he really does exist at least in spirit.
To be fair. We didn't even really see Jared Leto's Joker
AkeemHimself and to be honest if the writers didn’t make Joker a gangster with tats and chains, Jared Leto wouldn’t be getting so much crap for the role
@@that1guy345 to be fair there is a version of joker groom the comics where he is a gangster so it's not like they made it up
AkeemHimself yeah but when you’re going to see a Joker movie or a movie with the Joker in it, you’re expecting a certain version of the character. And most people weren’t expecting this version
@@that1guy345 I get that but people weren't expecting Heath' s version either. The one before him was super playful and a lil goofy, he challenged Batman to a surfing contest
Random Commenter this what children said when heath ledger was revealed to be the joker lol
Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, and David Bowie would have been a very interesting joker. Look at the way Joaquin took on the role, he gave us a very real performance on the fact that society can make you go mad and get you to your breaking point.
And Heath Ledger was on a whole other level.
I think what makes joker one of the best characters of all time is that whoever is portraying him, can make him unique. He’s such a flexible character so it’s cool to see how writers and actors will break the boundaries for him. I’d rather see Jared Leto portraying his version of the joker than see him try to copy Heath or anyone else for that matter. The joker is probably one of the most diverse characters in the history of cinema
I agree
Yup. ^.^
To be a good Joker, I feel you need to be a really good comedian. As you said, each actor can make up their own, unique version of Joker simply by playing as themselves. Restricting a comedian to a certain theme doesn't give them much wiggle room creatively, and the more restrictions, the more carbon-copy it's gonna seem.
Agreed
same as a character like Pennywise then
Heath Ledger is the most iconic joker- even my friends that aren’t huge fans of dc think so. It was honestly tragic when he passed away, and I feel like people don’t give him as much credit he deserves, even for his incredible role in “A Knight’s Tale.” We love you Heath, never forgotten. 😔🤍🤍
I still really want to see Bill Skarsgard as the Joker. But it would definitely have to be in a more cartoony kinda role? Like I don't know if it would work well in Pattinson's Batman universe. Even though that role is already taken.
Comparing each actor who played Joker just like compare cars .
Ledger : Bugatti
Phoenix : Porsche
Leto : Datsun
So what you’re saying is that for Joaquin Phoenix to play the joker it was super easy, barely an inconvenience?
Getting prepared for a role is TIGHT!
@@coffee_junky I'm gonna have to ask you to get waaaay off my back about that
He was a child prodigy actor just like his brother, i´m sure he worked hard but that doesn't mean he´s going to let a role get into his head after finish it
Also for Jack Nicholson
I saw this kind of comment every where in this comment section, is this a reference? I'm new here
"Do you wanna hear another joke?" Became the most scary thing we ever heard in a movie. That scene looks so real, so real that we didn't realize intense and disturbing has become one.
You talking about when he killed muraaay?
*how about another joke murrayy?*
That whole scene from his entrance to the killing was shaking my heart so intense
What really sells the scene for me was the circus-like music
Don't forget Cameron Monaghan guys. If you don't know he was the only one who play THREE DIFFRENT STYLES OF THE JOKER in Gotham and he nailed it everytime.

Kroko Unseen Forces well said ... deep down somewhere (specially heath ledger one)
People don't know that Phoenix was already scarred for life, that's why the characters he plays feel so real.
What happened
@@dv9239 his brother OD'd. River Phoenix, he was young Indiana jones in last crusade, his last role.
@@PowerCookie1 and Jack Phoenix was born in a poor family and more...
The reason why Phoenix didn't go further into manic depression as a result from shooting the Joker film was because Todd Phillips,the director,was cracking jokes and goofing off with him behind the scenes. He brought levity on set when the cameras weren't rolling. Joaquin had fun making a movie. The last time I can recall he had fun making a movie was when he was doing that mockumentary about him transitioning into being a rapper.
Yeah right
I could actually see Zach Efron playing iron man in 10 years.
Heath ledger played the best joker. His “Look at me” was completely terrifying.
Cesar Romero: Pip pip to you sir, hehehe!!!
Jack Nicholson: Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Mark Hamill: All it takes is one bad day to drive the sanest man to lunacy
Heath Ledger: Why so serious?
Jared Leto: Are ya sweet talking me boi?!
Joaquin Phoenix: I used to think my life was a tragedy, now I realise, it’s a ******* comedy
Jerome valeska?
Most of us don’t like Jared Leto’s portrayal...

Can’t think of a quote from him and his twin brother, Jeremiah. (They’re both Joker.)
