Look. All of them outside of Leto. Jack Nicholson scared me as a child, Ledger thrilled me to the core as a young adult(28), and Phoenix cut my heart into a hundred pieces at nearly 40. I have to choose Phoenix ....the last thirty minutes of “joker” feels more like a roller coaster than a movie. The soundtrack, the final riot... Ledger was great. But Phoenix made an unflinching 2 hour deep dive into a possible joker origin, and it’s just beyond anything. Also, in hindsight Ledger’s Joker was always in control, emotionally. Phoenix was not. At all.

When I saw the Dark Knight I thought to myself, "Man, this is the best Joker I seen in years." After I saw Suicide Squad, Jared Leto disappointed me as the Clown Prince of Crime. I, mean, he's a good actor, and I loved him in Dallas Buyers club, but he kind of tried to hard as Joker. I thought nobody can do a better job than Heath Ledger. As I saw the trailer for Joker, I saw that Joaquin Phoenix was going to take on roll. I wasn't hesitant about it. I loved him in his films Walk the Line and The Master. I saw the movie last year and it was AMAZING! I never seen acting like this in a very long time. What scared me the most about his Joker was just his dedication to the role. Joaquin said he wanted to look the character, so he stop eating and lost about 30 pounds. It really worried me on how he was. And his laugh... oh! It gave chills to me. If you watched the final trailer of Joker. there's one part when he laughs and disappears right way, like, he was possessed or something. It's almost like Mark Hamill's laughter. Very scary. It was very cringing until the end. Look don't hate me to say this: I respect your opinions about who's the best Joker, I grew up watching Mark Hamill playing the clown and Ledger as the best Live action Joker, but I have to go with Joaquin's.

This version of the Joker is more a tragic loner who just wants to be appreciated but the society that he is living in a dark true reflection of areas in the real world , there for is more easy to relate to than a criminal that kills for laugh.

Why ain't Jack getting more love, I know the rest did amazing jobs, apart from Leto, but Jack paved the way for all of that. U have to admit he was perfect for the role at the time.
