I think we can safely add Alan Tudyk's rendition to the ranks.

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

He even has the N we need!

I didn’t like the Joker in the Harley cartoon. In this series, he seems like a dude nearing retirement age.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

To be fair, he isn't the main character and I like what they did with he and his newfound family. It was very entertaining. He changes towards the end as well, but again it is all about Harley's world of which he is only a tangent.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 1 year ago

Joker, best Mayor or Gatham City.

When I started watching Harley Quinn I was like "They didn't get Mark Hamill for the Joker?? This is a travesty!" But he does do a very good job with the role, and Clayface is just fun.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Clayface and Bane are highlights.

Alan Tudyk definitely does Joker a service as well.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I agree wholeheartedly.

When Bane went to Italy to fix the pasta maker I thoroughly enjoyed that entire story line.

The writing on HQ is superb.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I love the show and it's cool to see a relationship between two people of the same gender be portrayed as loving and a real partnership. I hope they never decide to do a breakup episode, even if they get back together by the end. I don't think Harley and Ivy should ever stop loving each other.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

King Shark never fails to make me laugh. Ron Funches is hilarious.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, I was very excited when King Shark spoke. I thought, "I know that voice and I love him!"

First saw him in Powerless and very much enjoyed his onscreen persona.

I'm not against a "gangster" version of the Joker, because a lot of the Batman lore is about the different gangs of henchmen so the Joker is as much a gang leader as anyone else. AND I'll go out and say he was not the worst thing in that movie... but yeah they could have done a lot better with the casting. But hey, still better than Eisen-Luthor!

[-] gullible@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Honestly, Leto was fine. The “gangster” joker was just too childish an interpretation, and his dialogue was just goofy. It wasn’t a cohesive character. The design was so over the top terrible that it looped back around. The tattoos always get me giggling.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Is that the voice actor of Charlie the unicorn?

[-] gullible@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Ye, the crew produced videos relatively prolifically until they produced nothing for a few years. You may also recognize him from such roles as Chris Brown and an assortment of cats.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like to think of it as "So close but so far"

If it was just a little bit different in a lot of ways it could have been epic. I think the biggest thing that hamstrung it was the sheer lack of any origin grounding to explain the why of it.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Is this more of a 'fuck Jared Leto' thread?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago
[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As much as he might deserve it for his personality, no, my comments here are genuinely because I just didn’t think his version was as good as others.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would love to remember Suicide Squad fondly, but LA Joker ruined it for me. I can't think about that movie without seeing his sick grill in my head.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

But the next two movies are better. :)

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Actors, always promoting their work 💀 >!/jk, love all you do here!<

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Also, you should have seen me when I was promoting Barbie here in July.

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

I did, I have interacted with you before! Still no autographs sent my way 🥺

[-] Slow@lemmy.today 11 points 1 year ago

The coolest image of the Joker in my ranking is the drawn Joker from this poster. In the old cartoon series, he most closely resembles the embodiment of evil and inadequacy.

The 90s cartoon series is my favorite iteration of Batman by far.

The Jo ^n ker

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

maybe leto's version should be called JONKER

[-] Otkaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

While it might not be the most popular opinion, I personally appreciated Leto's interpretation of the Joker. He's no Heath Ledger, of course, but considering how often the character has been brought to life, I thought Leto's performance was at least unique.

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For me, it was too brief to even count as an interpretation. I don’t get how people can compare Leto’s performance to Ledger’s or Phoenix's, simply because of how much more there is to the latter two’s, not even taking into account artistic quality or interpretation.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was supposed to be a franchise. Honestly, it's not like Leto was bad as the Joker, it's his off screen antics and the rest of the movie being absolute trash that killed the reception.

But I also don't really mind Joker being a bit of a fuckboi. There are two perfect Jokers, Ledger and Hamill, and no one will be able to top them, so you might as well try something new.

[-] BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] pipows@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think the problem with Leto's Joker was Leto, but the production and the script

[-] Pinecone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He's not wrong. Leto joker turned a nuanced and intelligent villain into an edgy Facebook teen going through a phase. All the interesting subtlety washed out in place of "damaged" tattoos

Joker

Nuanced and intelligent

Okay, sure, we can pretend Ledger's Joker is the only depiction of him ever.

[-] kablammy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago
[-] josefo@leminal.space 1 points 1 year ago

Technically never called the joker, but yeah

[-] Ashiette 3 points 1 year ago

Leto's joker was the best joker.

[-] Ashiette 3 points 1 year ago

He made himself the greatest joke ever.

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I really hope you’re being sarcastic here.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago

Agree. Second best character ever. Only Schwarzenegger's Mr Freeze was better.
