Nicholson. Fear of God when he smashes the mirror in the plastic surgeon's, when you see his makeup and without any time to take in the manic horror circus clown of it, he kills Grissom, dominating the viewer with his presence. "That you, sugarbumps?" When he smashes Alicia's death mask. So seductive too. His Joker's a lover, not some fairly sexless Ledger creation. And with Nicholson's literary witticisms in the film, it's like watching a psychotic Willy Wonka gangster. Such personality and creepy sense of style. In a way, Jared Leto's better than Ledger because he 'gets' the romance of the Joker like Nicholson did. Leto looks like that young Jack Napier style in Batman (1989). Maybe Ledger and Hamill are closest to the comics for all I know so I understand people voting for them but film's a different canvas unless you're making Sin City (and the sequel to that was lacklustre).

I agree. Nicholson's Joker was intimidating. You could see the "crazy" in his eyes.
Ledger's Joker was annoying. I wondered how he'd lived that long - I couldn't believe someone hadn't put a bullet in his brains years before. -

Call me a wimp; prefer Cesar Romero since I go back that far! The camp wasn't as disturbing as the future incarnations came to be being quite dark! I can do without a complete sociopath as the villain with nary a conscience in him! ;-/

Nicholson seemed clearly partly inspired by Romero too. I actually found 60s Batman scary, with all those psychedelic camera angles. And it was always in the 'lair' of the villain so, if you were killed, there'd be no other witnesses.

I almost go back that far, and I don't mind him. I just don't find him intimidating at all.
It is also hard to rank anything from that series as the best because it was all so silly. Yes, it was supposed to be silly, but that still hurts how it gets ranked.
