Watch Chinatown and one flew over the cuckoos nest. And the shining. And a few good men. Those are all incredible performances from Nicholson. On the level of how good ledger was in the dark knight. My criteria for that is you forget it's them, but become completely immersed in the character.
When I watch him onscreen I think that he would be fairly similar in real life.

C'mon guys...........
It's like because Ledger died, his performance went from maybe slightly overhyped, though it was still an incredible take on the character.....to now somehow underrated because of you guys basically saying he only got praised big time because he died.....
I don't give a **** if Ledger died or not....that the BEST performance in a comic book movie I've ever seen. You forgot you were watching an actor.....and THAT is when you know it was great.

Heath Ledger transformed himself for the role, the two arent even comparable imo.
But Ledger was the better joker. It was as if Ledger was born for that role.

Ledger.
I'm taking into account of not only his performance itself, which I thought was incredible, but the movie material he had to work with concerning the source character
If you stop to think about it, Ledgers' Joker seriously fucked shit up in Dark Knight.
From punking out every single organized crime faction in Gotham, to turning the one man Batman thought could turn the city around into a revenge filled monster in Dent, to blowing up an entire hospital, to his killing of how many city officials, pitting hundreds of people with blowing each other up in a game of survival. I mean, I could go on.
Ledgers' Joker was a beast.

He played the same role/character in The departed, without the makeup.
The heath joker was legendaryOriginally posted by RAV3N View PostWell dont get me wrong I do enjoy watching Nicholson act and has done some great work but most of his great roles are similar characters.
When I watch him onscreen I think that he would be fairly similar in real life.
I agree with the poster that said Daniel day lewis would be a great joker, based on his Bill the Butcher in gangs of new york
