      Which of the Joker Actors Are You?

      Which of the Joker Actors Are You?
      Start Quiz!
      Batman · What Character Am I?

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 30, 2024

      BrainFall executives selected you to become the next Joker. We know, there have been a lot of Jokers, and some people are sick of him. Hey, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade in a chemical vat, right?

      We don’t advise having one bad day that turns your sanity into lunacy (a Killing Joke reference). However, we bestow upon you the infinitely safer task of answering questions that will determine which of the Joker actors you are. Does your ease with cheese recall Cesar Romero’s Joker? Should you up the theatrical stakes and lower your voice to match Jack Nicholson’s Joker, who Tim Burton presented? If you memorized every line of the Christopher Nolan classic The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger might be you. If you’d rather be in the shadows than under the bright lights of Gotham City, Joaquin Phoenix slightly nods his head. If all you want is a hot Harley Quinn with cold shoulders from everyone else, hello Jared Leto!

      Joker actors

      The list of Joker actors includes many top-notch stars. Cesar Romero kickstarted the literal craze when he joined the original 1966 Batman TV series as a classically campy trickster foiled by ridiculous solutions conjured by Adam West's Batman. In 1989, Jack Nicholson played a different kind of Joker, one with a bit more depth.

      Star Wars fixture Mark Hamill monopolized voice actor opportunities with his iconic performance in Batman the Animated Series. He has played the Joker more times in more animated iterations than anyone. Troy Baker has now taken over as the animated Joker.

      Heath Ledger's Joker remains the universally accepted pick for best live-action Joker actor for his work in The Dark Knight. Fellow Oscar winner Jared Leto snapped the acclaimed streak with a horribly received 15 minutes in the critical flop Suicide Squad. Joaquin Phoenix's Joker redeemed the character in a humane interpretation looking at the ramifications of poor mental health care/social mistreatment. He won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2020.

      Which of the Joker Actors Are You?

      Let's face it, we've all had that debate with our friends – if you were a character from the Batman universe, which version of the Clown Prince of Crime would you be? Each actor who has stepped into the iconic role of the Joker has brought a unique flavor to Gotham's most notorious villain, making him as multifaceted as he is unpredictable. From the chaotic charm of Heath Ledger to the haunting intensity of Joaquin Phoenix, the Joker has been reimagined time and again, both in film and TV shows, captivating audiences with each actor's spin on the role.

      A spotlight shines on three playing cards, each with a different Joker actor's face. The cards are arranged in a triangle on a dark, dramatic background

      But today, we're not just enjoying the on-screen antics of Batman's arch-nemesis. Oh no, we're diving into the mayhem ourselves! Imagine donning the purple suit, smearing on the white makeup, and perfecting that maniacal laugh – which version of the Joker echoes your mischievous spirit? Are you the methodical mastermind, the animated prankster, or perhaps the dark, brooding force of nature that leaves Gotham quaking?

      Join us as we embark on a gleefully twisted journey at BrainFall to discover which Joker actor's electrifying performance resonates with our inner supervillains. Grab your best deck of trick cards and let's create some chaos, because by the end of this, one thing's for sure—we'll find out which Joker is the king of our own personal Gotham.

      Evolutions of a Grin: The Joker Through the Ages

      The Joker's iconic grin morphs from sinister to playful, capturing the essence of each actor's portrayal

      The Joker's smile has twisted through the decades, morphing from a comedic prankster to the embodiment of anarchy. Let's paint Gotham with the history of its most infamous smile as we gear up to see which Joker's chaotically colorful shoes you fit into.

      From Camp to Chaos: The Early Years

      We first met the Joker's catchy cackle in the '60s, embodied by Cesar Romero—mustache and all—in Batman: The Movie. His portrayal was delightfully campy, a perfect match for the bright, zany Gotham City of the era. Next, Jack Nicholson added a deeper, darker layer in Tim Burton's Batman (1989) with his own mobster-turned-madman version, leaving us all grinning.

      A Darker Shade of Joke: Reinventing Madness

      Fast forward to a Gotham dipped in shadow, and you'll see Heath Ledger's scarred smile. In The Dark Knight, directed by Christopher Nolan, Ledger's Joker became synonymous with chaos. His methodical performance snagged a posthumous Best Actor Oscar, and let's be honest, had each of us practicing our Joker laugh in the mirror.

      High-Definition Harlequin: The Modern Menace

      Cue Jared Leto's tattooed take in Suicide Squad—a modern gangster dripping with deranged charm. Then, Joaquin Phoenix gave us chills as Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips's Joker, which took home the top honor at the Venice Film Festival. His is a slow dance of despair, giving us a haunting tour through Gotham's grittiest corners.

      Voice of Insanity: The Animated Anarchist

      In the realm of cartoons, we can't forget Mark Hamill—yes, Luke Skywalker himself! He traded his lightsaber for a deck of deadly jokes in Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League. Notably, in The LEGO Batman Movie, Zach Galifianakis built us a Joker who was equal parts hilarious and maniacal. These animated antics showcase how wildly we can reinterpret The Joker's lunacy.

      Picking Your Persona: Which Joker Are You?

      Before we jump into the wacky wardrobe of Gotham's resident prankster, let's clarify: finding your inner Joker is about more than a sick cackle and green hair. It's a deep dive into the ethos of one of pop culture's most iconic villains. Ready to laugh maniacally into the mirror of self-discovery?

      Tools of the Trickster: Laugh, Look, and Lunacy

      Our beloved Clown Prince of Crime comes with a utility belt of quirks that are as unique as they are unsettling. Ever hear a Joker laugh that sends shivers down your spine? That's step one. Next, the look—from scarred smiles to campy costumes, every Joker has made his mark with unforgettable style. Remember: make-up is a personal canvas—a splash of paint on the canvas of chaos. Finally, the lunacy. It's not all jokes and japes; the best Joker actor wrangles a threat into every giggle and guffaw, bridging goofy antics with sheer, unhinged menace.

      • Joker Laugh: From light chuckle to bone-chilling cackle.
      • Make-up: White façade to technicolor dream coat.
      • Persona Spectrum: Killer clown or criminal mastermind?

      Clown or Criminal Mastermind: The Joker's Spectrum

      Alright, let's talk range. On one end, we have the campy clown who could out-gag a goofball. Think of the Jokers that could buddy up with Batman and Robin for a laugh—hold the murderous rage. Then we jet over to the polar opposite: the criminal mastermind whose schemes are drenched in dread. These Jokers concoct plots that could perplex Superman himself. And who could forget the killer clown, who turns origin stories on their head with each devious deed?

      • Campy Clown: Good for a gag, low on the mortal peril.
      • Criminal Mastermind: Big on brains, plans and the penchant for chaos.
      • Killer Clown: Origin story? More like a cautionary tale with a body count.

      From ranking the theatrical camp and cringe to pinpointing your placement on the spectrum of sanity, we've laid out the tools for your trickster transformation. So, what's it going to be? Are you more of a Batman's bane or a goof in gaudy garb? Don your grin and let's find out which Joker persona is eager to play the leading role in the dark comedy that is your life!
