Nicholson actually made jokes and the whole atmosphere of the movie was dark like comic books.

They are totally two different roles when one thinks about it.. but if you ask me who was the better actor in that role, Health Ledger hands down. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen.

Like I said, I am not a professional movie critique, just my opinion

You should check out Guy Pearce's performance in Memento.

Have to concur with the other opinions....Ledger's "Joker" blew the doors off of Nicholson's rendition.

But Jack is unbelievable. So he allowed one punk to steal the limelight.

Memento, good movie.

Status: offline 		Ok with regards to the joker roles BOTH  NICHOLSON AND LEDGER CAPTURED DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE ROLE. To me neither one was better than the other, and BOTH pale in comparison the the Joker as voiced by Mark Hamill on Batman The Animated Series in the early to mid-90's.
THAT one to me was the most complete version of the Joker.  Is Nicholson one of the greats of his generation yes,  but all too frequently he falls into the trap of just "playing Jack".  Robert Di Niro on the other hand disappears within his roles so I'd give him a slight edge over Jack.  Really it is like #1 and #1A.

Mostly chicks favor Heath as the Joker. Wonder if that is driven by his real life tragedy. I saw it and thought it was a great, dark peformance, made all the darker by knowing he was dead.

You're kidding right?
I love the guy, Godfather and Goodfellas are a couple of my favorite movies, but the only roles he disappears within his role are mob movies, lol

Nicholson is arguably the greatest American movie star of our generation...but Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker was simply stupendous.....Heath's Joker was a meatier and darker vision...Jack was essentialy doing Jack...in Joker makeup.
Not really fair to compare the two....same character but different roles,different movies....hell a different vision of the same villian.
