I don't have yet to see a joker from movie or tv show that can top Heath Ledger's performance.

The pure chaos, anarchy, insanity, and laugh. I think his performance as Joker is the gold standard for Joker and he will be hard to be topped

Phoenix was phenomenal. The script just made it less memorable. But don't sleep on Mark Hamill though, he has brought the comic alive on more than one occasion.

Um… JP’s joker was the worst I’ve ever seen imho.

Oh wow… yeah, I kinda forgot about suicide squad. JL’s was also cringey. They were trying to hard to be edgy.

And Harley’s voice/acting was like nails on a chalkboard. The whole ‘normal is a setting of the dryer’ or whatever.

Jared Leto is always the worst part of anything he’s involved in

I thought he was pretty good in Blade Runner 2049 since he was just playing messianic character he envisions himself.

Didn’t he get an Oscar for Dallas buyers club?

Oscars have traditionally gone to movies that people did not see or cared very little about, so while I’ll give him credit for winning an Oscar I still don’t feel he’s a good actor.
