The Batman movie, The Dark Knight, came out this summer and I loved it. I just read an article by The Patriot Online about who played The Joker better. They compare and contrast the 1989 Jack Nicholson Joker and the 2008 Heath Ledger Joker. On Jack Nicholson's Joker, They talk about he wasn't crazy until he fell into a vat of toxic waste. Even though he becomes crazy, the say he shows a softer side to a reporter in the movie and a sense of mental stability. Heath Ledger's Joker shows a more insane and mental guy. He comes out of nowhere and shocks the Gotham City with his evil. Unlike Jack's Joker, Heath's Joker has no human emotion and doesn't care who he kills or what happens. He is heartless and shows no mercy to anyone even the criminals helping him. The article says that both were good in different ways and were very popular at the time their movies came out. I have seen both movies, and Heath Ledger's Joker had more to himself. He showed the way I think the joker should be played.
