The Joker is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He is widely considered to be Batman’s archenemy. Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, with contributions by artist Jerry Robinson, the Joker first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940).
The Joker is a master criminal with a clown-like appearance, including bleached white skin, red lips, and green hair. Initially portrayed as a violent sociopath who murders people for his own amusement, the Joker, later in the 1940s, began to be written as a goofy trickster-thief. That characterization continued through the late 1950s and 1960s before the character became again depicted as a vicious killer. The Joker has been responsible for numerous tragedies in Batman’s life, including the paralysis of Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle) and the murders of Jason Todd (the second Robin) and Jim Gordon’s second wife Sarah Essen.
WHO IS THE BEST JOKER?
In other media, the Joker has been portrayed by Cesar Romero in the 1960s Batman television series; Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman; voice actor Mark Hamill in TV’s Batman: The Animated Series; and voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson in the subsequent animated series The Batman. Nicholson’s version of the Joker ranks #45 in the American Film Institute’s list of the top 50 film villains.
Batman(1966)
Cesar Romero
The clown of crime. The Joker was a prankster, a thorn in Batman's side. This was another favorite villain from the start. His energy level was unbelievable. He was a wild clown with green hair and a white face.
Batman(1989)
Jack Nicholson
ftW.. I can't even remember this film..
but according to my sources, Nicholson’s Joker is still “one for the ages.” The Joker is clearly a character who has crossed over that boundary into the realms of indecency.
Dark Knight(2008)
Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger has redefined one of the world’s greatest villains. He executed on of the scariest performance ever. 2 thumbs up my friends. When I was watching the film Dark Knight I did not know that the joker was heath ledger until the end of the movie.. haha.. I said "what?! si heath ledger yun?! ang galing grabe, d ko nakilala.."
One of my barkada(carlo) said "Alam na kasi nya na mamatay na siya eh. binushos na niya lahat". -happy viewing to carlo-
So who do you think is the best JOKER??
hmm.. for me.. it's definitely Heath Ledger..
comment your answer.. :)
