Okay, so I went to see the movie and now have my official opinion to add here. I think that at the time the first one came out Jack Nicholson did a great job playing Jack Nicholson as the Joker...He took what he read about the character and played it with his own unique attitude. I felt that Ledger took what he read...added a different way to walk, talk as well as other mannerisms and made it his own. Ledger took my favorite villain of all time and made him into something larger...He wasn't a weakling when his goons weren't around. He made me love him as well as feel sorry for him at times. I think Jack did a good job for Tim Burton's version. It was a campy version that did a great job at that time. Christopher made a completely different picture in that all his characters are human with little or no supernatural aspect to it.
So, I guess what I'm saying is neither did a better job than the other but in this last Batman movie. It wasn't Heath Ledger playing The Joker. Heath Ledger WAS The Joker...
