With the latest “Joker” film dying a slow death in theaters, it’s interesting to look back at all of the actors who’ve played the role. Men’s Health looked at the performers from film, television, and animation, and came up with their ranking…from best to worst.
- Heath Ledger (“The Dark Knight”)
- Jack Nicholson (“Batman” 1989)
- Mark Hamill (“Batman: The Animated Series” and others)
- Alan Tudyk (“Harley Quinn” animated)
- Zach Galifianakis (“The LEGO Batman Movie”)
- Joaquin Phoenix (“The Joker” and “Joker: Folie A Deux”)
- Cesar Romero (“Batman” 1966-1968)
- Cameron Monaghan (“Gotham” FOX series)
- Jared Leto (“Suicide Squad”)
There’s also an “honorable mention” for Barry Koeghan from “The Batman” simply because more has to be seen to form an educated opinion.
