What actor was your favorite Joker?
Facts Verse just saw Joker movie it was good and Joaquin Phoenix acting was awesome but no one can replace Heath Ledger acting as the Joker at least for me
The guy who plays Author is my favorite whatever.
Facts verse
Apples, oranges, bananas
Joaquin Phoenix
Not only is it so sad that he passed away after filming the movie, what really saddens me is that he didn't live to know how legendary his performance was.
I’m sure he knew
Oh he knows
Hes so fucking good at being the joker. Phenix does him good tho. I love his prefromance to
Or to return as the Joker 😥 we will never get to see more scenes
He knew I bet he knew in his heart
It‘s so sad that he couldn‘t hold his oscar with his hands
Mel O did he overdose?
Ezy prplx yes, that’s what they say
Rip in peace
The Doomguy WHAT💀💀
I think the fvck Not He meant rest in piece.
He was willing to literally lose his mind and get physically beaten up just for the movie for us. Now that there is someone I will always respect. Edit: I worded that wrong I’m so sorry. I’m not saying he’s crazy or anything I’m just saying that he was dedicated in getting into character for playing he joker and I respect all of his hard work.
THAT IS SADLY SOMEONE THAT WAS OBSESSED AND MENTALLY SICK. I FIND THIS VERY SAD. HE LOST HIS LIFE DUE TO HIS OBSESSION WITH THIS EVIL JOKER, AND ACTING. IT IS TRUE WITH MANY GOOD ARTISTS.
This isn’t what happened at all. That’s a narrative.
So, this sounds like a totally sane person?
Heath is a LEGEND Ledger, he made that role legendary. He was such a brilliant actor. And he was just a beautiful lovely man, that face, eyes that radiate light, that smile, & the chiseled jaw, irrisistable
Heath didn't chose Joker ,
Joker chose him .
Chose*
@@seylur2829 I think we know what he's saying no need to correct it's fine.
MrBigwolf yeah
@@TophatMilo yeah what? You agreeing?
MrBigwolf yeah I am 😅 no one cares how you spell things if we still know what it says
Heath was the greatest joker of all time. Period.
Nuke Duke him and Jack Nicholson
For now. Maybe in the future there will be better, it just might take a very.. very long time..
I like the new joker just a bit better
Doug Mertz I agree
saint lewis I don’t really pay much attention to what society have to say, I personally think that no one before played the role quite like he did. That’s just my opinion. I’m not saying that because he’s passed on or that any other Joker was crap. It’s my opinion and you know what the say about opinions
Best joker ever, I honestly think if Heath was still alive he would have bagged every other joker role in the movies since he passed away. No one will ever top heaths performance. It’s a shame he never got to hold that Oscar himself. R.I.P Heath 💙
I think he was the best joker by far but I think the same thing about Christian bales Batman portrayal as well and now look who’s Batman 🤣😂🤣
If Heath ledger was still alive today I could imagine with Margot Robbie they would make a great couple for the Batman movies for Joker and Harley
awh man don’t remind me they would make the best movies
plus they're both Aussies
Yeh....
Heath wouldn't do it
Heith ledgers joker doesn’t seem like he would match up with her harley Quinn... I mean, can u imagine heith ledgers joker showing compassion to ANYONE?? Cuz I rlly can’t lol. As fair as a couple pair goes, Jared Leto’s joker and Margo’s Harley Quinn seem to work together rly well. Harley Quinn is obviously played way better and stands out in each scene much more but as far as combining personalities goes, idk if Heith’s would work with that Harley Quinn. That’s like sayin Joaquin’sPheonix Joker and Harley Quinn would make a great movie, simply bcuz Phoenix’s joker was obvi waaaaay better than Jared Leto’s version. But...idk if that would work out. I mean, even Phoenix version of Joker would probly have a better connection with Harley Quinn than Heith’s Joker. So idk I just can’t see Heith’s Joker having an intimate connection like that with ANYONE tbh
I'm not a heath ledger fan but this is the best anyone has ever played the joker... I'll give him that one...
Mr Spook He didn’t just play Joker. He was Joker.
@@rastaewabeach true
Better than Joaquin Phoenix?
@@remodluna7868 of course, no doubt..
Dio da Rato We shouldn’t compare the two. Both completely different takes.
i fell in love with him when i saw the '10 things i hate about you' movie and i miss him so much😭
Lmfao 😂😂😂
I did too
😐
same!! 🥺
Same 😖
The greatest joker ever yet damaged himself in the process!
Imagine allowing your co star to beat you!!!
Locking yourself away to get crazy and deep into the character!
RIP Heath Ledger. Legend
It makes the fights look more real. Respect for letting Bale beat the crap out of him. 👍
I know the face paint technically isn’t accurate to the comics - but Heaths look is absolutely iconic
Michael Caine's character is Alfred, not Arthur.
Marc Bryan Paguinto yep they lost me there
Arthur Fleck
I was wondering like did it just sound like Arthur or did he actually say Arthur
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught that😂😂
Marc Bryan Paguinto I noticed that😂

He was an amazing Joker. Well deserved Oscar.
Thanks for watching, Doctor Goop!
In their last moments, people show you who they really are. Well said by Heath. RIP
He is the reason other jokers look like a joke now
jared leto lmao
@@zzz_phyr That's true, but that's only because they're on different playing fields. Heath's Joker is at the peak of insanity. Joaquin's Joker is slowly descending into madness. They aren't playing the "same Joker" in a way.
Jaoquin is also good
Evangelina de Sânge Yup.
@@zzz_phyr shut the fuck up
That Jennifer Aniston analogy was so out of the blue
HAHA Ikr
Right? Wtf
Ok
🤣🤣
Ig he likes friends
Heath's joker and Joaquin's joker are 2 very different type of joker and they really nailed it. I would give 10/10 for both.
Yes, absolutely.
This is the only logical answer

He didn’t die from going insane by playing the joker. That’s fake news.
He died from an accidental overdose from mixing to many of his med’s together.
His sister warned him but he didn’t listen. Because he didn’t believe that would happen. Welp it did.
Not to mention he loved playing the joker and when he had gotten the job he was happy and his sister said that their was absolutely 0 signs of depression. So please let’s not exaggerate and make the story more then what it actually is. I’m sure he wouldn’t like that.
Thank you
I was having serious depression from 2016...no one knew it until october 2019...Ive turned 19 this 24 feb so....I was just saying....have a nice day ....btw Im on medication now ;)
Ya...
Yeah, it was an accidentally fatal mix of different meds. :'( He did not overdose, and he especially didn't overdose on purpose and espeeeecially not on illegal drugs. That was so weirdly portrayed in the media that most people still don't know what really happened. He had a bronchitis or sth like that, and took different meds for that and additionally a sleeping pill. That's the only "problem" he really had, sleeping problems from time to time. He was not suicidal, and he loved his daughter, he would have never killed himself on purpose. Also he had almost finished his next role (in
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) when it happened. It didn't have enything to do with the Dark Knight movie. Heath was my favorite actor since his teenage years, it's so sad
Lisa Kogelnik facts
But the mix of meds made him accidentally overdose so yes he did overdose but accidentally.
Untouchable Joker... you left us too early man. Missed by a huge a part of this world of people. Rest Peacefully
Very Well said & very much truth I miss him aswell I liked him as the Joker but my most favorite of his work will always be Sir William Thatcher
So funny you said that. Because i liked him alottt in that movie. A knights tale? Was that it. So awsome. I was going to reference it but i held back.
The most dedicated actor ever!
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. May Heath find peace 🙏
Heath went so deep inside the character that he was not able to get out of it he was the actual joker that we all could ever see
0:56 who tf is arthur. dont disrespect my man alfred ever again
Arthur IS joker
Facts verse be disrespecting lord alfred
Alfred is stronger then marvel and dc combined
Brormand du jo dansker
Elias Kader var helt forvirret men har gilli som profilbillede ahah
He is and will remain the best joker of all time.
Joaquin better
@Leon Jones I agree Mark Hamill IS The Joker, no one has anything on what he brings
Yep I don’t care what anyone else says he is the best.
@@user-cc9vf2vq4l nah, he was good but ledger will always be the joker
Leon Jones ah, the old voice actor versus actual actor on screen debate.
HL had perfect mannerisms, MH had a good voice, HL had the physical presence, MH had a good voice, HL portrayed madness, anarchy and chaos with every sinew of his being on set, MH had a good voice.
Getting through yet?
Everyone wants to be batman but end up being the joker.
That's deep
But Tommy Wiseu wants to be the Joker
@@onlyasithdealsinabsolutesd6526 ehem pls let that kiddo feel like he is a wisdom teller
Oh these Eminem Fans are so deep 🤡
Heath never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
He's not the only actor to win an Oscar playing a villain. Anthony Hopkins won for "Silence of the Lambs", and plenty others.
Heath also never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
And how could he have auditioned for Batman in Dark Knight? It was a sequel.
Wow his daughter looks just like him.
Kevin Pederson yup
i thought that was a baby picture holy shit
Well shes heaths daughter.... But i also thought it was heaths childhood photo
Yeah, that’s kind of how genetics work. You should be surprised if she didn’t look like him.
I thought that was Heath when he was a boy. Didn't hear the part quite well.
Michael Caine played “Alfred” not “Arthur”***

1. Heath Ledger Joker
2. Joaquin Phoenix Joker
3. Jack Nicolson Joker
4. Mark Hamill Joker
5. Cesar Romero Joker

😂😂😂😂
1. Phoenix ........
Joaquin 1
Phoenix is awesome, he deserved that oscar.. He's my favourite,but so is Heath too :D i'd say 1. Heath & Phoenix
It’s so sad because his career would of took off with this role, I know he was famous already but this movie was so Iconic it would’ve made him huge and imagine all the other movies he would’ve had and he would’ve been the joker for a long time I think, just so sad 😭
Have you ever heard the phrase An artists' work is worth nothing until they are dead?
To Heath, this was his masterpiece.
dude he was great in broke back mountain
I don’t think that applies for Heath. Whether or not Heath died this performance still would’ve made movie history
I would have loved to see heath skateboarding in Joker makeup and costume. That would have been awesome to see
Thank you
When I first watched the movie The Dark Knight. I said to myself, “this Joker made the movie Great!!!” Never seen an actor like him in any other movie.
Same
@Zena Sirena You're beautiful.
Could I have your number??
@Zena Sirena You're beautiful.
Could I add you on socia media??
Wich Batman movie, the last one. Sorry I have never seen them.
Heath’s death was sad af. Fell in love with him in “10 things I hate about you.”And “Monster ball “ where he commits suicide. 😢😢😢
Thor’s #1 fan cardiac arrest not suicide....
Sky loverMC I kind of remember he shoots himself in “Monster Ball.” I’m an old lady, Sky love MC, bear with me...👍🤣
Best performance I’ve ever seen...in any Film.
We agree, Adam!
@@FactsVerse too bad half your facts are wrong In this video. For starters Heath never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
12 years now. He did not isolate himself nor did he method act. He was making another movie at the same time that he never finished
He did lock himself up in a hotel for 6 weeks, he did method act just his version of it; but yes at the end of the day he’d turn it off, and between takes did want peoples opinion, however he kept a little note book and if someone did something he’d write how the joker would’ve reacted, so his version of method acting
He is the ONLY joker that derves the character
in my opinion Joaquin is a better joker, i also love Heath
Nah Joaquin Phoenix was really good as well
He didn't watch the joker movie
Jack Nicholson Was the best Joker (Opinion)
@@thecomedicspecialist7227 every joker ever sucked except joaquin and heath,change my mind oh wait u cant lololololol trololololol peanus beeep
He is the original joker....I don't believe anyone else could play that role like he did.
Thanks for watching, Adrian!
Heath Ledger sir, thank you for your wonderful dedication
He is the best joker ever, and I doubt there will be another person to play the role better then him. He is perfect 👌🏾

Funky Gomez then comes out jauguin pheonixs joker
Joaquin Phoenix is better tho lol
Lol no
@@uzivertical1239 lol no
Funky Gomez Yikes Joaquin is serious competition
Watch the movie
Did anyone else catch that he said Michael Cain played Arthur instead of Alfred? How do you make that kind of mistake with such an iconic series as Batman?
Exactly what i thought, i scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else noticed
I noticed that to I was like who is Arthur
dark shadow Arthur fleck
@@endermic1306 Oh the joker?
My thoughts exactly how do you not know it's bill Wayne Alfonzo his Butler serina kylo and Edwardo nigma duh
This one. Can't believe he's gone.
Amazing performance.
@Facts verse - how hard is it to spell his name right in the captions????
Ledger was badass for the joker.. gud movie
Heath was cast to be the batman ,after reading the script, he choose to play the joker... that's fact and he's the best joker of all time...
Randy Mania but Christian Bale has already been cast for the Dark Night, so that’s not really likely...
Bale is the better part for Batman !
He is the better actor, in terms of looks body and the mannerism.
He is one of the best when not the best Batman of all time.
Sad for him that he died in young years.
Randy Mania thanks for that info cause I was questioning who would deny Heath?
Randy Mania Christina bale was already chosen to be Batman throughout the whole dark knight trilogy. It wouldn’t make sense to change the actor for Batman in a movie series
Heath was asked to be batman in Batman Begins, but he refused straightaway. After the first movie be made, Heath got the realistic style Nolan wanted to present and he loved it. Soon, Heath called Nolan for casting him as Joker even before the script been written.
the legend lives on
Wow that was interesting never really knew that
Holy cow the joker journal is just like what they had in the 2019 JOKER movie🤯
Was thinking the Same l
Yo that actually makes a lot of sense, if the film technically isnt cannon with the DCU, why not take some creative liberty and pay homage to arguably the best joker?
Cameron M. C. Exactly man. They knew as soon as they had the idea to make the movie that it would be put up against Heaths joker.
Cameron M. C. it’s canon just not in dcu it’s dcu dark basically
Facts verse: *Heath wanted Christian to beat him*
Me: damn ok mr j I see you
Heath: “C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon." C'mon. C'mon, I want you to do it. I want you to do it. C'mon!… C'mon. C'mon, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. C'mon, hit me! Hit me, hit me! C'mon, HIT ME!"

13 th surprise authentic explosion was amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️wow
Heath Ledgers Joker was the best, such a shame he's gone.
That scene where he made the pencil dissapear, brilliant.👏🏼😂
This guy still my favorite Joker, I remembered the first time I watched the movie , his performance was honestly blow my mind 🔥💯
R.I.P. Heath . Thanks for all of your performances . True JOKER .
Hats off legend
Is it me, or does heath without make up look like John cena with long hair
I cant unsee it
For a second , I thought the same
Uhhhh John Cena has a hair?
Yesss
How do you know how john cena looks?
Anyone else notice how they sometimes typed "Health" instead of heath
SCAVENGER GAMING it did say Health at 2:45
"Typed," not "said."
No wonder you other guys missed it.....
@SCAVENGER GAMING yes he said it right but he spelt it wrong
6:30
I cant handle how good he was!
Intuitive Genius . Beyond the Acting and Character/ Makeup is a man to be remembered . Dam . He had spark and originality- S.P.I.T
Give it up for Health Ledger🌟🌟🌟
Great actor. Gone so soon from this world. Heath Ledger will allways be the best portrayal of the Joker
this shows how much hard acting is and people who say its easy
it takes a lot of effort to make a movie
It’s easy when you are Jared Leto playing Joker
He’s the love of my life man 🥺💜
Everybody makes out like Heath's portrayal of the joker was a dark road to insanity. When in reality it was screen performance history followed by a freak accident 😥
Heath is the joker. He never played it.
No lol
I dont know who heath is but if your talking about me then yes i am the joker
Was
Exxagerations ! Heath was a nice guy, nothing like the joker... he was just excellent actor
No idiot
I liked him before he even played the joker 👌 rip
Bull shit
Ct Tims fuck u he was a great person even before the Joker
Same, he’s honestly just a sweetheart I loved him in 10 things I hate about you
Same here.... Loved him since I watched 'The Patriot'
10 things i hate
Wonderful sharing

3:14 imagine, just a casual day on the set as the batman, and then one of the actors asks you to just beat em up!
must be so insulting turning up to an audition wanting to be batman and hearing "nope, we think you'll be better suited for joker" like what
Heath never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
As well, how you gonna recast Batman after Batman Begins, just use your fucking brain…
This just makes me love his performance even more!! Best Joker performance to date!! RIP Heath!

Off the bat Heath never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
6:04, I’m from glasgow and this makes me happy that Heath used something related to Glasgow.
I didn't know Heath Ledger skateboarded and skated on set. lol that's awesome! I love him even more now.
He was a Genius Artist, respect
Loved all three, it's cool how people can show three sides of the Joker with different characters
He whas such a great actor and personality. R.I.P. Heath :-(
I know that smile to be as the Chelsea smile, never heard of the Glasgow smile!
Outstanding film, simply cause of the joker.
I remember thinking, I'll watch batman.
Within about 4 minutes I was on the edge of my seat.
What a film.
What an actor.
R. I. P Heath
The bank scene tho! It made me anticipate the rest of the film
RIP to this incredible actor and amazing person. We all miss you Heath, we will never forget you 💔
Everything said was either crazy or authentic I pretty much got it the first time but plz continue ..
The hung upside down scene is pure brilliance
So heartbreaking!! I truly enjoyed his performance. 💜
Oh man I wish he was still alive, his portrayal of joker will love on forever
Legends cannot be replaced....they can only be recreated...💪💪💪
I knew every fact you mentioned 😅😂
He actually didn’t want to play in the movie at all but after a day he decided he could be the perfect joker
Exactly!!! Heath never wanted to play Batman, Christopher Nolan even asked Heath to audition for him and he refused, same way he refused to audition for Sam Ramis Spiderman. Look up the Rich Eisen Show, Christopher Nolan talks about how he asked Ledger and he wasn’t interested.
He licks his lips cuz he watched a interview with ted bundy and bundy was doing the same thing throughout the 45 minute long interview America's real boogie men
Not true
Billy Olsen yes serial killers are pos dosent mean Heath didnt get the idea from a psychopath like bundy especially for a psychopathic character like the joker
Heath licked his lips to help keep the prostic lips he had on to stay stuck to his lips because the glue would wear off during the long hours if filming
Billy Olsen
Well spoken 👍🏻

Without any doubt, Heath Ledger is the greatest villain of all time. People loved him, they love him, and they will always love him. He has did a job in 'The Dark Knight' which can't be described in words. After all this is what acting is, It's quite sacred.

Video is a fucking disgrace to the man, the legend that is Heath.
@@adamkevorkian8685 Another was the claim that Ledger was the first to win an Oscar after he died. Untrue. Peter Finch got one also, for "Network," in '76.
May be he realised it as well.... he was on the verge of becoming a mad man himself....
Tf?
The hell you talking about? He accidentally overdosed on his meds, chill out.
