Heath became the Joker, Nicholson made the Joker Nicholson. Jack Nicholson played himself. Have you read "The Killing Joke"? or "The Dark Knight Returns" or "Arkham Asylum". If, when you say, "original comic book villain" you are referring to the jokers earliest incarnations, then neither Ledger NOR Nicholson's performance come close. If thats what you want watch the fifties TV show with Adam West as Batman. As to wanting to know the Jokers origins ala Tim Burton's Batman (which dont' get me wrong is an awesome film) isn't it better to have a little mystery? DO you really want to sit through another "origin" film like Batman Begins was? Don't you just want to get into the film? Or are you just a contrary person by nature who likes to bring shit down?

Indeed, I would contend that it's not an action movie per se, it's just a great film which happens to have some action bits in, just as Macbeth has fights and witches and gore and hallucinations. It's actuallly an incredibly good character-drama-crime film on a grand scale. I think it was too hyped, as it really didn't need to be. If it had come along a bit more quietly, it would not be so generally slated as being overhyped and just good cos of Ledger - the script has a huge part to play too. If Ledger had just gone round going 'This town needs an enema!' he would have been shit no matter how he played him. The film is a cut above most action films.

Ledgers portrayal was competently acted, but not really in the spirit of the comic book. Also I completely agree that Bales voice as Batman sounds ridiculous, difficult (at times) to understand and silly. Bingo!

Heaths performance was bland and average. Jack Nicholson, in my humble opinion, was far closer to the original comic book villain - less realistic, yes, but how realistic is a Batman movie supposed to be? Heath was a little too "wimpy" as the joker. Also, nicholsons portrayal was more interesting as we had some back story to show WHERE his character originated, and Jack Napier was well played. Nicholsons portrayal - 8/10 Ledgers - 6.5/10 Again, my humble opinion. :) Sorry, don’t agree. Heaths performance was bland and average.

Nicholsons portrayal – 8/10

Ledgers – 6.5/10

Again, my humble opinion. :)

I didn't really like him. But, comparing his performance & Jack Nicholson's is like comparing The Godfather to The Teletubbies. I'm not a fan of Batman, but the Dark Knight was amazing.
