Who Is The Greatest Joker Of Them All?
There have been lots and lots of Jokers on both the big and small screen over the years. With a new Joker likely coming to the DC cinematic universe in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie (quite possibly played by Jared Leto), IGN’s The Superhero Show asks who is the greatest Joker of them all?

I think they are right on about that while Jack Nicholson was great, he was still mostly doing an exaggerated version of himself rather than truly embodying The Joker for the role. With the exception of the Rastafarian-esque Joker from the cartoon series simply titled “The Batman, I don’t think there’s actually been a really bad portrayal of him. I do agree with the hosts that Mark Hamill easily sets the benchmark for Joker. He defined him so well over the years that everybody is pretty much compared to him and it will always be hard to top him even over Heath Ledger’s fantastic unhinged performance.
