So I've been debating this myself and I honestly have no idea who portrayed a better Joker. I know there have been other iterations such as Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Jared Leto but I wanted to narrow it down to Ledger and Phoenix because Ledger won an Oscar for his portrayal and Phoenix (fingers crossed) might do the same. So I'm curious for those who have seen JOKER, who did a better job as the Clown Prince of Crime and if you are to provide your reasoning, I'd love to hear that as well. Thanks for everyone who participates!
