I thought Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker was a disappointment. Anyone else agree?
It came off as "cartoonish" and lacked the psychotic, macabre of Heath Ledger's version.

shareI always thought it was cartoonish especially when he pulled out that three foot long novelty gun out of his pants.
shareI think this was peak Nicholson(and this is saying A LOT) it seems like he went all out and boy did he deliver. This was the end of the 80's folks.
shareShe was really incredibly beautiful.
shareI liked Nicholson's Joker a bit more but then I am biased as I grew up in the 90s watching Tim Burton's Batman and The Dark Knight didn't come out til I was 22 years old.
shareJack Nicholson >>>> Heath Ledger
With Ledger's performance I just saw a mixture of Brandon Lee in The Crow, and Scorpio in Dirty Harry. And that constant licking of his lips was annoying.
Nicholson brought the right balance of psychotic and camp, and I liked the different ways he killed people. For me, Nicholson remains the best Joker.
Copy and paste from your question on Jack's page:
Nicholson's was too cartoonish and comical.
No way on earth. Just no. I mean he burned a guy into a skeleton. He mutilated his girlfriend. He was going to kill everyone in the city. He killed everyone in the museum. He killed Bruce Wayne's parents. And a cartoony villain is worse than a scary villain because the scary villain you see him. The cartoony villain will get you from the back. I would rather run away from a scary villain than be attacked from the back by a funny villain. Think about it.
shareNo.
