Cesar romero was really good and imo, the best villain in that era of batman, but nicholson will always be my fave live action joker. I just wish we got to see more of him. I grew up with ledger and hamill though, so they are my nostalgic choices
Jack Nicholson was good no arguments here, in fact I found him terrifying. But Caesar Romero's and Mark Hamill's jokers seemed to do it for the love of the game, where as the rest all had some underlying reason. I personally feel that the core of jokers character is that he just lets the intrusive thoughts win without question or thought.
I get that. For me i like nicholson because he is a great blend between romero and ledger. Hes psychotic, scary, and deeply motivated, but also leans on that campy love of the game. The art museum scene comes to mind as an example
You know what? You've convinced me, Romero is still my favorite but I think I'll bump Nicholson up to number 2.
