Such a unique voice yet so fitting for almost every rendition. Timeless too. Not too old not too modern but definitely modern enough.

Todd Philips wasn’t even forced to work on joker 2 ,they never had a contract or plan for it ,so he literally choose to return willingly just to see how much he could ruin the first movie with this one ,I just can’t understand….

[@JBM_productions]

⁠@@2ndspringtube708 Maybe Todd Phillips is like the persona of the Joker. In the first movie, the Joker thinks he’s going to be famous, despite this not coming to fruition the way he thought, he did become famous from his heinous, actions and the uprising. Then in the second one, it’s all revealed to be in his head. Similarly Phillips made a brilliant first film, but with the second one, people are saying he’s lost it, like the first movie was just a dream. It’s like the whole thing has come full circle. How the movies are being perceived and his director decisions are mirroring how the movies‘s storylines in a way. It’s crazy when you think about it

[@doomraven0]

He ruined the first movie too but apparently there are a lot of people that like shitty movies with massive overacting, unsympathetic protagonists, and slow motion underwear dancing. Also, that's not Joker, it's some loser named Arthur Fleck that has nothing to do with Joker.

Heath Ledger is definitely my number one favorite Joker of all time. Ledger’s Joker is more evil, smart, intelligent, anarchy, threatening, menacing, chaotic, and one of those villains you don’t want to mess with. That’s the good reason why the late Heath Ledger posthumously won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, British Academy Film Award, Saturn Award, People’s Choice Award, and even MTV Movie Award for his outstanding performance as the Joker. Joaquin Phoenix is my second favorite Joker who also won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA. Jack Nicholson is my third favorite Joker where he is goofy, dark, scary looking, and menacing at the same time.

The main reason I liked heath’s joker was that Christopher Nolan and his brother Johnathan Nolan blended all 3 types of the joker into one, heaths joker was not only the mastermind bc of how he planned his actions out but he also had the comedic jokes like the joker and the psycho version in him too like when he gets thrown off the building and starts laughing like a maniac.

As far as the comics go, it was the early 70s when the Joker turned into the evil psychopath we know from the 80s. Check out Denny O'Neal and Neal Adams version of the Joker when they revitalized everything about the Batman. Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers carried that on with their version in the mid 70s.

I agree. I was actually hoping, back then, that they'd give Leto and Robbie an origins film. Although I'm not a big fan of Leto, I think he did a great job nailing down the Joker. The tats were still bad... but the rest could have been really great.

[@Forse32]

He's just my Joker, just like Keaton is my Batman.

[@sleezy7187]

dark knight joker was perfect if the joker existed in real life

[@PrestonRōnin]

If Todd Phillips wanted to connect his story to the Dark Knight trilogy’s, he should’ve just showed how Joaquin’s Joker goes from sympathetic to evil and completely nuts in his second movie. Could’ve even added in the vat of acid part in some way. Showing Arthur Fleck’s character growth into becoming the Joker we know in The Dark Knight.

[@BrittonClark-ib8ss]

4:08 while this is partially true, there’s more to it, initially, the joker and comics all together, tended to be much darker and more mature, but in the fifties they were made goofier god kids, but in the early seventies they became darker again, albeit in a different format

[@DogeZilla678]

Seeing heith ledgers joker in f tier for the thumbnail got me glitching irl…

[@yogenz]

Nicholson Joker is extremely faithful to the comics. Him being the murderer of the Waynes is obviously wrong, but that's literally it. He's quite frankly the most comic accurate Joker we've seen on film. Take Hamil Joker from TAS or Akrham which is seen as the Joker. Which Joker from the films is the most like him? He may not be your favorite version of Joker, but to say 89 Joker wasn't comic accurate is just simply, respectively, wrong. Enjoyed the vid, however, great stuff.

[@Johnnysmithy24]

-Cares about money -Cares about sex -Is afraid to die -Wants to kill Batman (and vice versa) Sorry but no, he merely acts like the Joker very well but when it comes to the actual character beneath, he’s nothing like the Joker. In fact, Burton claims he was inspired by “The Killing Joke” even though that comic is the exact opposite in characterization of everything he did in his movie

I'm not a huge fan of Leto, but they definitely wasted a great opportunity to develop his Joker. It could have been so much better, given the time and scope.

as amazing as Heath Ledger's performance as Joker was, Cameron Monahan's really steals it for me. Especially as Jerome. You can tell instantly he's the joker, without the suit, hair or makeup. Knowing the budgetary limits as well as the fact they were banned from utilising the actual Joker name and appearance, he did a killer role; pun intended. It's a fun twist on a character where I think if they had more of a budget and was able to portray the character in a movie he would be regarded as one of the Best we've ever seen
