Joker Analysis — Comparing Heath Ledger, Nicholson and Phoenix's Villains

List of Best Jokers ►► http://bit.ly/joker-breakdown

The Joker is a villain we all recognize. Whether you’ve seen Tim Burton’s Batman, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, or Todd Phillips’ most recent interpretation in Joker (2019) — we know the Joker’s costume, the Joker’s makeup, and, of course, the Joker’s laugh. But what happens when directors like Nolan, Burton and Phillips get their hands on this iconic villain?

This video essay is all about artistic license and how different filmmakers have taken the core foundation for The Clown Prince of Crime and molded him to fit their particular vision. The white face, red lips, green hair, and purple suit remain consistent (for the most part) but the characters and personalities behind that iconic costume and makeup vary wildly.

Our first example finds Tim Burton directing Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Batman (1989). Here we have a mafioso turned madman, leaning heavily into the original version of The Joker — both homicidal and humorous. In The Dark Knight, and Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of The Joker, Heath Ledger brings a more serious and unpredictable anarchy to the table. And, most recently, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is a more accidental villain — a product of a failed system in Todd Phillips’ almost revisionist take on the character.

How do all these interpretations of The Joker fit into their respective worlds? And how do they add up to an amalgamation of the character? If there’s a villain who is ripe for multiple personalities, it’s The Joker.
