Listen here nigger, no one will surpass hamill joker
Fpbp
He doesn't count.
That's some really bad posture.
Back aches are no laughing matter.
I thought Pheonix did a great job with the laugh. Sadly he didn't really use it that much when doing Joker stuff.
Nicholson imho
Too bad Nicholson didn't play the Joker. He just acted like himself wearing clown makeup.
This. It's the laugh I hear in my head when I read the comics.
It would help if we count each Joker's pros and cons.
Let's start with César Julio Romero, Jr.
Go.

Says who?
The design just got worse by time.
the mustache kills it if we're being honest
What the fuck is that creature in the bottom left corner?
Except he does because he has the best joker laugh, faggot
That a con?
CON: too handsome.
PRO: good actor. Also, too handsome
The retard from the Gotham tv show.
Seethe and cope harder. Nicholson was great as joker
The show sucks but he did a great job as proto-joker
What i love about this version is that you can clearly see how much Romero enjoys it

Sounds like your the one seething user.
That's very true, and very important. Makes the character fun.
He was adequately campy, too.
>Guasón.
Why oh why is that in Spanish?
¿Que güeá te pasa? ¿Te falla la mente?
It's not fair since he's the best overall Joker in every aspect. When I think of the default Joker, Hamill is what comes to my mind.
He's absolutely perfect.
I've given some thought about it
>Romero
He can do a great laugh, but it seems like he can only do one type of Joker laugh, and he's really outshined by Frank Gorshin doing an even better Joker laugh despite not even playing the character
>Nicholson
I like Nicholson's Joker a lot and will defend it as a great representation of Bronze Age Joker (the best Joker) and not just "hurr Nicholson playing himself", but I barely remember his laugh. He didn't seem to laugh that much aside from some scenes.
>Ledger
He has the sadistic hyena tone down and the extra wheezes and strains really, really help sell it. He didn't laugh much but I never forget the laughs he did in that interrogation scene. It really fits the hobo clown version of Joker he's got aesthetically.
>Phoenix
Not the scariest or the jolliest, but it's actually my favorite of the bunch because the movie actually uses Joker's laughter as more than just "he laughs after doing or saying something evil cause he's crazy. Phoenix has many different laughs, all with varying intonations and degrees of sanity, even used as a replacement for crying, and it tells the character's arc even better than a lot of the dialogue he's given to work with, and he sells the ambiguity of whether or not he's laughing due to illness or because he just wants to.
A Joker using a palette of laughs as language to express his emotions is definitely something I prefer over a Joker with one or two strong, memorable laughs.
Of course, Hamill had both, but he doesn't count, and even then he's never been in something that allowed him to showcase the range of laughs that Phoenix had.
So Phoenix takes it for me out of these options
ROMERO, OF COURSE.
Jackie in a really close second place.
Is Joker a rapist?
Me, to Jered Leto's terrible performance.
You don't count.
Why would that one not count?
