    It’s so unfair that Heath never got to see his masterpiece. He set the bar so high, and to me has become the most iconic villain.

    It's amazing how many "risks" Nolan took -- casted a 28 year old with no prior film roles of playing a psychopath or murderer, kept his long hair, and made the makeup look messy instead of precise. Yet Ledger and Nolan were such a brilliant pair that they made cinematic history.

      Phoenix is the joker in a world without Batman. Phoenix would be a terrible cast for a joker movie that included Batman. His character isn’t as menacing or flat out crazy. But his casting in the joker movie was outstanding. I believe heath’s joker is just a future, more broken, version of Phoenix’s, which makes perfect sense Bc the joker movie takes place when Bruce is a child.

    I think another reason why Heath's Joker is so captivating is that, and may he rest in peace, but because Heath passed away he never really got to talk about his role and how he got into character etc.. Even though his performance was absolutely incredible, his death has almost brought the character to life and made it feel much more real.

    I really think that heath ledger has created a myth around this character and I really think a lot less people would be interested in the joker if he did not play him as he did. I even think the movie joker with Phoenix would have never existed or if it had existed it would not have been really successful. Ledger IS the joker even though Phoenix played a great role, but he is the joker because he literally made the character a legend, no more no less. My opinion!

      They should have kept the same scene they did when you see the hospital get blown up but in the middle of you watching the hospital getting blown up, they should of then cut to the scene when he is in the bus staring forward while the rest of the explosions are going off. Would have shown the destruction he caused and the lack of empathy he shows in the bus.

    I remember constantly watching the tape of Burtons film. Nicholson was my all time favourite actor as a kid. When they were doing a SECOND Joker it seemed impossible. Jack owned the role, his face literally has a rictus grin. It seemed impossible to separate him from the character. I only knew Ledger from Brothers Grimm and didn’t know him. It’s kinda sad how we went from these two in twenty years to having them be churned out after each other. Leto was just a marketing gimmick. Phoenix was bloody amazing and thankfully didn’t feel like a copy. Phoenix made it this performance that I had to keep reminding myself was the character. Jack will always be my favourite but this role (normally) seems to bring the best in its performers.

    it's good that didn't use that footage of Heath in the school bus, because what made the joker so ominous was the mystery of his personal life and where he would go in between sequences. Because whenever he showed up, it meant it's going down. But showing that would almost eradicate that mysticism and feel almost "first-person" with him. Unlike Joaquin's joker, that's not what works in Dark Knight. It's his presence which forms the greatest of performances.

People try to compare the two but you really can’t. just appreciate both performances.

    The joker is one character that few can portray and only one can master heath ledger really mastered the joker the other ones was cartoonish but still good heaths was so realistic you felt like this was the actual joker. No over dramatic smile, no over dramatic plot. His plots were simple yet hard to understand until it all fell into place. It always felt like he was ten steps ahead, whereas the usual villains were maybe a step ahead for a little bit. The things he said felt almost manic, but also controlled. I don’t feel anyone can top this performance he was the joker.
