A tribute to the awesome might of the TDK Joker. He's my favorite of all the Jokers, even better than the mutant Joker vampire thing in The Batman and the sophisticated Joker in Batman: The Animated Series.

RIP Heath Ledger.

So why the choice of a resident evil sound track?

[Psythr666]

@Dodson2010ftw

I was in a Resident evil faze when I made this. Plus I had just watched The Dark Knight, so naturally the two clicked.

Agreed Heath Best Joker ever or ever will be AWESOME vi btw love the pic and the drawings are a nice touch did u do them? Perfect music it really fits him reminds me a bit of the TDK sountrack and the song Why so Serious

[Psythr666]

No I didn't draw the pictures. They're pictures I found around DeviantArt.

@Universe2793 Better than Mark Hamill or Jack Nicholson? ...I beg to differ...

[TEHORANGEAVENGER]

he'll pull your eyes out of your head... turn them around still attached... and make you watch him put that smile on your face...

[subgeta07]

@Nerevarineownsyou see, if you'd said that from the start instead of the baselessly just stating one was better than the other, this conversation could have concluded days ago. we'll agree to disagree because I've grown so weary of villians like that following the reign of Sephiroth and the rabid ff7 fanatics. I like my Mark Hamill Joker, and Kefka thanks. lol

[Nerevarineownsyou]

@subgeta07 Let me rephrase then, I was saying that the Ledger Joker is better, but that doesn't mean I don't respect the original Joker. They are equally professional performances, but I prefer the sinister and darker Joker than a happy insane clown Joker.

[subgeta07]

@Nerevarineownsyou no. i asked you a question. You didn't answer it, but whatever.

You can't say "this is better" and consider them even. Its either better, even, or worse. There is no "well, they're equally good performances on the same character, but I like this one better" that contradicts itself.

[Nerevarineownsyou]

@subgeta07 You're becoming completely biased on this matter now. I prefer the Ledger Joker because it's what I prefer, but just because something is new and changed doesn't mean I should never like it. I respect the original Joker but still prefer Ledger's performance. They're not even to me, but even in general.

[subgeta07]

@Nerevarineownsyou well now you're changing your story. and making it sound like they are even, but whatever. I dont like it when people take established characters, change them, and then people say "this is better!" because you disrespect the original. which is what you do saying that heath was the best joker. if you dont respect the original, why should anyone else respect the "update"?

[Nerevarineownsyou]

@subgeta07 Rabid fan zealotism? I think you're taking this too seriously. The Joker in the Dark Knight is a clown, just not a happy insane clown but more of a dark evil clown.

I agree with your interpretation, but only because it's a matter of perspective. Nolan took the Joker and twisted him to sound more dark and sinister. Anyone who sticks so closely to the original Joker is stubborn if they don't respect Nolan's approach. I think both Jokers are great roles with respectable actors.

[subgeta07]

@Nerevarineownsyou .......The Joker.... IS A CLOWN. That's what makes Mark Hamill's "clownish voice" so good. I really don't feel like dealing with this anymore. It was fun for a moment, but... its getting to that point where your comments just don't make sense, and it sounds like rabid fan zealotism.

Being that i'm not a person to obsess like that, I just have to move on from you. Since you're not willing to see my point, and I don't agree with yours, I'll just call it off.

@Nerevarineownsyou

Guys, please calm down. I don't want a bar fight to erupt over a video I made 4 some years ago.

[Nerevarineownsyou]

@subgeta07 So you're going to prove me wrong by...

A. Correcting grammar errors that don't make my point incorrect.

B. Credit Mark Hamill's other awards from other sources irrelevent to his voice acting as the Joker.

C. Pretend that professionals act sympathetic to Ledger's efforts as to award him.

Face it, this video alone doesn't feel right.  Mark Hamill's clownish voice of the Joker does NOT match with the dark tone of Heath Ledger. Ledger pulled of a once in a lifetime effort.
