Okay, that decides it then, Jack is a horrible actor who's never done anything worth noting.

Hey, if you want to put words in my mouth like the immature child you are, go ahead.

You can't really compare the two. They were taken in complete different directions, with two wildly different approaches to the character, under two very different directors and two very different actors.

To try and make a categorical claim as to which one is objectively "better" is folly, in my opinion.

I feel that since they are the same character, they can be compared. I could see if you were trying to compare Dafoe's Goblin to Heath's Joker because the two are very different, but these are the same characters.

Btw, what's with people saying Brandon Lee's Crow character is just like the Joker? They were two totally different characters with totally different motives and goals.

Absolutely you can compare, but can you really say which is better?

Who the hell said that? That is indeed stupid.

'tis probably the make up and the death at the end of filming.

That's just like the public to take things with a couple similarities and then say that they're the same. Ugh.

the fact of the matter is that he didn't do a great job, and he's not even a great actor at all. He had a few good films, but nothing to classify him as anything close to great. He's been portraying himself for decades, and takes on the same roles time & time again as some nutball.

I think you misinterpreted what others have said...

People have said that Heath Ledger's Joker LOOKS like Brandon Lee's Eric Draven, but I don't think they've ever said anything about them being the same...

Keep the discussion on TDK. We're not interested in Jack Nicholson's previous works. Be on topic please.

Some of the names I thought would be cool but I changed because they weren't. I like this name, though.

Yeah, we know he did a great job, that's been established...

But hearing about it ALL THE TIME from almost everyone around me is annoying... And it's only gonna get worse when school starts again, because I wear lots of Batman, Joker, and Captain America t-shirts, people always ask me about comic book movies... So I'm gonna hear "What did you think of Heath Ledger in TDK? He was so awesome" from EVERYONE at my school, till the point where I'm just gonna shoot myself...

He did a great job, but please people (directed at everyone around me) GIVE IT A REST!

Anyway, how about we start talking about something else, like Morgan Freeman... He was awesome, wasn't he?

I'm allowed to state my opinion, and Heath was great.

And once is enough.

Heath was awesome as the Joker, he's the best movie villain in history.

K

As I was saying, Joker gets all the attention, so I say we start a discussion about Lucius Fox...

Does anyone think that he'll be back in the next one? You know, after he pretty much resigned and all that...
