@@TheoTungsten well to be fair this Joker did terrifing things, i mean the smilex in beauty products, the venom filled ballons, his freaky gadgets and weapons. He's funny yes, but still a cold blooded killer alongside Ledger's and Mark's

@Julian Tuma I think that his name is actually Jack White. but in Batman he was simply known as Jack. From what I have learned about him is that he has a unknown past. A broken family man and a failed comedian. And he was found hanging over a very deadly drop over a a tank of green acid. And although Batman tried to save him but Batman lost his grip. And Jack White fell into that green acid tank and died. And thought to be dead only to emerge out from a river after being swepted there by the tide from the Ace chemicals plant. And now naming and calling himself the Joker and a hell much more happyer. And lost his mind forever to insanity
Best Line in the movie: Now....comes the part...where I relieve you the little people of the burden...of your frail and useless lives. But but as my plastic surgeon always said " If you gotta go.........go with a smile!!!!" LOL.
As much as some lament the choice of Prince songs in the film, I actually feel they really suit this take on the Joker; it's loud and flashy and screams 'look at me', and both 'Trust' and 'Partyman' perfectly suit the scenes they're used in.
Jack Nicholson brought the clown aspect of the Joker pretty well in Batman mixed with the Gangster persona. He definitely felt like the Joker from Batman Mask of the Phantasm just a straight up Gangster hitman.
No, it's not your opinion it's everyones, Nicholson is still a classic and great interoperation of the character and no matter how awesome Ledger, Hamill and Phoenix are he will always stand out
@@thenewyorkknight7496 Nah it's definitely his opinion, Jack Nicholson is playing himself here. So, nope. Much respect to the actor himself tho, I guess he did his best.
@@pankajhemnani that's what all the younger generation thinks, but I say that jack was so scary ,sadistic and funny and very related to the comic books, heath ledger was just scary and doesn't bring that much life to the character
Nicholson Kills gangster with a feather pen, setting up a Joke... Ledger kills gangster with a pencil, finishing the set up for a joke.. . Keaton kills joker with a batline around Jokers ankle, causing him to fall... Bale saves joker from falling with a batline around the ankle.... Nicholson goes to rob a safe but was betrayed... Ledger Rob's a bank and betrays his crew... Plenty of inspiration from Batman 89... I'm okay with it, both are good movies. But Jack Nicholson had the most accurate live action Joker
2:25 love the transition of music when you hear Prince's song completely transform into the epic Batman theme as a cool way of saying that business has picked up and it's time to get serious.
I love how sadistic Joker is here. The cheering crowd have no idea the reason he's doing this is because he's figured that threatening innocent people will 100% draw out the Bat into a confrontation. The relationship between Joker/Batman is so deeply personal in '89. Love it.
I've been watching this movie since I was a toddler in the early 90s but watching it as an adult now, I realize just how terrifying Nicholson's Joker really is.
@Roberta Mohamedally True Robert Jack does the crazy and far out bad guy roles so well. As in the 90's comics the Joker got deranged and down right crazy!
@Roberta Mohamedally Right Roberta You summed it up so well and in depth with detail as Jack is the man hey wait till they get a load of me HA! HA! HA! HA!
@Rob Mohamedally exactly. I agree with all of this re. Nicholson's Joker. I've gone about my interest in The Joker character a bit strangely because I never saw The Dark Knight until recently even though I was 13 when it was released. I saw Joker (2019) and then started reading comics, specifically golden age and Bronze age with a few more recent ones. I've more or less seen Ledger's Joker performance before as most of the scenes are on here, but I only saw the full film this year. By this time, I'm a fan of the Joker as he is in the comics, so while I think Ledger gave a great performance and hits some key Joker traits, overall it's all in one gear tbh. I can do without the philosophical goal so I wish that (originated as it is in The Killing Joke) had not become so ubiquitous as a character trait now because of this version of the character. That also seems to be something that some latched onto as "deep and meaningful". Actually, the new character Punchline seems to be a commentary on this. I've not read the comics that she's in, but she basically truly believes in his philosophy on life. To me, it would make sense for the joke to be on her (and therefore the element of the fanbase she represents) that he actually doesn't give af really.
@@joscar062 Yeah, usually I always imagined Gotham City like how it was potrayed in that film. Lot of dirt and trash on streets with rats running around.
I think the gotham series did a good job of capturing a look, that mixes Burtons Gotham with a more modern city. I think they did a great job but I also really love Burtons, especially from the second movie.
Innocent Moreyour Nicholson captures and brings to life the real Joker... The comic book version of him... From then on, the character evolves into more real to life individuals of insanity and mayhem... Except for one I won't mention...
"Now, comes the part, where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden, of your failed and useless lives" Sounds like something my college professor would say just before he hands out an assignment
Mark Hamill is always my favorite animated Joker, but Jack Nicholson was always my favorite live-action Joker. He had style, edge, and finesse. What I've always found amazing is how relatively realistic he seems compared to the other Jokers. I mean, he may be insane, but he's a lowlife opportunist who will take advantage of people's fears and greed for his own purposes and scumbags like that really do exist! He's just more open with his insanity. That's what really scared me as a kid. After all, he knew that the people couldn't resist free money, just like how scam artists today are always offering you lots of "free" stuff in exchange for getting into their business. You never know who you can trust, which kinda contradicts with the "Trust" song here and adds to the movie's dramatic flare. That's what left an impression on me.
I already loved this movie desperately, but after reading The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, and seeing so many influences taken from them for this film, it makes me love it even more
2:18 "Gotham's greed" says the guy to the people catching the money Or maybe, they need the money to pay for rent or food. Granted they are all wearing nice clothes, but looks can be deceiving. I just realized how close this hits home
Joker (Jack Nicholson) was dancing up a storm to Prince's "Trust" song and throwing money. RIP Prince, as far as I'm concerned, you created a great soundtrack. Classic scene of "where is Batman? He's at home, washing his tights!!!!" then the ominous music and the Batwing flying through Gotham, knowing there will be trouble once Joker unleashes the poisonous balloons. Still love this scene after all these years.
I feel like Keatons Batman always had the best cast. jack Nicholson honestly played the role joker so well! And Keaton is the best Batman in my opinion!
This and Batman Returns are my favourite Batman movies of all time. These has to be, in my opinion, the most comic accurate Batman movies ever. The Dark Knight Trilogy was good but only because it what Batman would be like in real life
@@nonameman7114More like Mark’s Joket is a cartoon version of Jack’s Joker since the film came out first in 1989 before Batman: The Animated Series came out in 1992.
Jack Nicholson put the "Joke" in Joker in this movie. He was great! Also as a sidenote, using Prince's songs, especially for this scene, was brilliant.
This is why you can't tarnish past performences of this character. Nicholson nailed it. Hamill perfected it. Ledger dominated it. Now i can't wait to see Pheonix's joker.
I never went to the movies as a kid. To be honest, we just never had the money. My mom and dad divorced when I was 4 years old. She then moved out of state, and I saw her every year on my birthday. So, I can count the movies that I saw during my childhood on my hand. Return of the Jedi, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Batman (1989), and The Lion King. These were the ONLY movies I saw, but this one stands out as the most-memorable. I was SO excited to go see this, because #1, I was going with an aunt and uncle and cousin, and I NEVER really got to do things with them, and #2 It was FREAKING BATMAN. Think about it, now. The ONLY Batman "movie" that I had seen was with Adam West & Burt Ward, and the infamous "shark repellent", "a canary with a machine gun", and Batman counting the rounds of a Tommy Gun before he got out of cover to approach the "bad guys". Don't get me wrong, that movie was just campy-great. But, THIS Batman was the REAL BATMAN, folks! Needless to say (yet I'm going to say it anyway), this movie did NOT disappoint. After this movie, I got all the action figures. I had the Batman, Joker, Bob, and then went and got the comic-book version of Penguin, the Batmobile, and the Batwing. I can't tell you how many times I recreated the fight scene in the bell tower between the brute and Batman, where Batman swings up from below, grabs the guy's head between his feet, banging the guy's head against the bell, the throwing him into the depths. It was a close fight every time, and Batman did get bloodied, but in the end the Batman prevailed! Of course, my chest of drawers had to suffice as the church & bell tower, but that was fine. To me, it was an exact model down to every minute detail, haha. I say all that to say this: This Batman movie is still one of my favorites. I love it and Batman Returns.
4 года назад
I really connected with this comment. My earliest childhood memory is seeing Return of the Jedi in a theater. I was barely three years old. I also got to see Batman in a theater when it was released. I was eight. I had the day off from school, and my Dad took me to see it. It was like a serious thing for me, because it was my first time going to see a PG-13 movie. This movie is awesome, especially to an eight-year old.
Ledger and Pheonix give great performances and I like their interpretations of the character a lot; both incorporate some aspects of the comic character. But, overall, I think Nicholson is the closest to a classical comic accurate Joker - kind of like a Dennis O'Neil/Neal Adams and Englehart/Rogers mixed with original Golden Age Joker come to life.
🤦♀️ 3:00 *So, where is 'the bat': he's at home or washing "his" tights? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *Certainly, a magnificent line for this movie!* *Jack is an awesome actor and played very well his Joker's roll giving us all of the fans a brilliant performance. This scene is one of the most memorables. EPIC.*

The clown prince of crime.
There was a deleted scene where they revealed that the money he'd been throwing out were fake Joker bucks, with his picture on it.
I seen this as a child and i remember that scene i cant recall it being deleted? Vicky Vale picks up a note.
That's ironic because of the art gallery scene where joker tells Vicky he wants his face on the dollar bill
It also showed that in the Graphic Novel.
Well he did say he wanted his face on the $1 bill
He always wanted his face on the 1 dollar bill
At 3:10 Jack imitates an impression of Cesar Romero's Joker there, always loved that.
Jack Nicholson brought the clown aspect of the Joker pretty well in Batman mixed with the Gangster persona. He definitely felt like the Joker from Batman Mask of the Phantasm just a straight up Gangster hitman.

The ONLY Batman "movie" that I had seen was with Adam West & Burt Ward, and the infamous "shark repellent", "a canary with a machine gun", and Batman counting the rounds of a Tommy Gun before he got out of cover to approach the "bad guys". Don't get me wrong, that movie was just campy-great. But, THIS Batman was the REAL BATMAN, folks!
Needless to say (yet I'm going to say it anyway), this movie did NOT disappoint. After this movie, I got all the action figures. I had the Batman, Joker, Bob, and then went and got the comic-book version of Penguin, the Batmobile, and the Batwing. I can't tell you how many times I recreated the fight scene in the bell tower between the brute and Batman, where Batman swings up from below, grabs the guy's head between his feet, banging the guy's head against the bell, the throwing him into the depths. It was a close fight every time, and Batman did get bloodied, but in the end the Batman prevailed! Of course, my chest of drawers had to suffice as the church & bell tower, but that was fine. To me, it was an exact model down to every minute detail, haha.
I say all that to say this: This Batman movie is still one of my favorites. I love it and Batman Returns.
I really connected with this comment. My earliest childhood memory is seeing Return of the Jedi in a theater. I was barely three years old.
I also got to see Batman in a theater when it was released. I was eight. I had the day off from school, and my Dad took me to see it. It was like a serious thing for me, because it was my first time going to see a PG-13 movie. This movie is awesome, especially to an eight-year old.
I'm just watching the Joker's henchmen. They look like they're having so much fun especially Bob.
Ledger and Pheonix give great performances and I like their interpretations of the character a lot; both incorporate some aspects of the comic character. But, overall, I think Nicholson is the closest to a classical comic accurate Joker - kind of like a Dennis O'Neil/Neal Adams and Englehart/Rogers mixed with original Golden Age Joker come to life.
0:17 the sound someone makes when about to sneeze, but they then stop
Joker has good taste in music.
One of the best jokers period
0:24 I never noticed the Goon sticks his tongue out!
This scene is the reason this is my favorite Prince song!
The Joker certainly knows how to make an entrance.
🤦♀️ 3:00 *So, where is 'the bat': he's at home or washing "his" tights? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *Certainly, a magnificent line for this movie!* *Jack is an awesome actor and played very well his Joker's roll giving us all of the fans a brilliant performance. This scene is one of the most memorables. EPIC.*
I see without seeing.i see the darkness as clear as daylight.i am batman.
I've always hated Prince but this song in this moment of this movie works for some reason
Knowing how picky Prince is with his music. You know he had to be a batman fan to license his music to the movie.
So prince made his songs for the film before they finished production? 🤔 🕺🏾
Ledger was one of the best psychopaths ever but Nicholson was the best joker
This Joker always rocking out to Prince music
Thanks to Prince songs for Tim Burton Batman.
