Heath Ledger’s version of The Joker was the only time I ever found the character scary. Nicholson was too campy for my taste.

IDK, but I found Jack to be hillarious. So hillarious I forgot he was actually murdering over 1,000 people.

nicholson’s joker was in between tv joker and heath ledger.

for criminals, i prefer darker, not campy. i suppose i like keaton’s way of being dark versus bale’s. keaton seemed more 3-dimensional as a real person character.

Agreed. Nicholson’s is campy, but I remember at the time that director purposely made it feel like a comic or cartoon. I think it was intentional. Probably to bring in the children’s audience so they could sell more toys.
