Do you like Jack Nicholson's or Heath Ledger's catch phrase better?

Jack Nicholson: "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Heath Ledger: "Why so serious?"

Personally, I think Nicholson's is definitely cooler. It's much more... insane, and coincides better with the character of The Joker, imo.

Remark: THIS IS NOT A COMPARISON OF NICHOLSON VS. LEDGER, BUT OF THEIR "CATCH PHRASES."

I understand that you want to act like a non-conformist...but as I said in a similar thread, it doesn't change the fact that Heath Ledger joker was far, faaaaar superior to Jack Nicholson's in every way.

[QUOTE="supa_badman"][QUOTE="Franken_Berry"]Heath Ledger was a waaaay better Joker than Nicholson.sammyjenkis898

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="supa_badman"] ..still overrated. now you have t-shirts and emo girls going all over myspace saying " why so serious?" know why? cuz he's dead. heath ledger got far more respect as an actor and an icon because of his death, if he was still alive right now, not much wouldve changed.supa_badman

The irony, most people that saw the Dark Knight disagree with you buddy

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="supa_badman"] heath ledger is overrated you sheep. he played a good joker but has nothing on jack nicholson. the reason why people say he's so good is because he died. oscar nomination? just a sympathy award.supa_badman

Why does everyone think that Heath Ledger's performance was good because he died? That's not the case whatsoever; he was getting immense praise during filming, too...

Both are good, but Ledgers catch phrase as the joke sounds so much more insane and that's basically how the Joker is.Treflis

[QUOTE="supa_badman"][QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] Not really. He was nominated for an academy award for Brokeback Mountain. I thought he was an amazing actor, even before his death. DanteSuikoden

I agree. A big part of the reason that I prefer Nicholson's Joker to Ledger's is because he's more the way that I'd always imagined the Joker to be while reading the comics.

I think both catchphrases do a pretty good job of illustrating certain aspects of the Joker's personality, but I think I like Ledger's more. I still much, much prefer Nicholson's performance over his though.

Jack's is just so evil and twisted. I remember when I went to see Dark Knight on opening day I was kinda hoping that Heath would say it as a homage to the first one:(-Sniper99-
