Hamill for the win.

No Cesar Romero? Pffft!

Hamill, of course. Not even a contest.

All of the Heath Ledger clips were cut off early.

Hamill always and forever. Heath does well for the world they created, but for overall Jokerness? Hamill always wins. For now.

Hamill, then Nicholson

Nicholson by a mile, but my vote is only between heath and jack because the cartoon was never big when and where i grew up.

There's really no getting around the fact that jack was born with the correct face to BE the joker.

There's no use doing one for Batman. Kevin Conroy already won forever.

Yup, Hamil hands down.

1:19 won it for me for Ledger.

Nicholson

They're all good in different ways.

Hamill is by far the most consistent, with the best vocal range. He's like the technical guitar player on his laughing strings. He knows what his Joker is supposed to sound like and he nails it every time.

When he hits it right Nicholson's is the most natural. Unlike the others he sounds genuinely and heartily amused; his has soul.

For scary, actually I'm not really all that amused I'm just an evil fucking psychotic that's restless, impatient and only mildly entertained at the best of times, and I'm only genuinely amused at other people's futility in the face of how pointless everything is, Ledger nails it. He's the artist.

Out of all three I choose Ledger for the scene at 2:10 and the way his laugh changes. That was chilling when I first watched it.

It's interesting how comics offer so much room for interpretation of character.

This. Especially the observation that Ledger was the artist. He brought something new to the table. Not just a laugh. A whole twisted soul. Amazing.

I liked the part where the Joker laughed...

I think Hamill has the superior overall voice/laugh but Ledger's performance as the Joker (including the laugh that accompanied it) was superlative. He really nailed the character perfectly for the tone of the movies.

Hamill for me too - not seen the cartoon much but Hamill was also the voice of the Joker in Arkham City/Asylum which I enjoyed more than the Nolan movies.

Can not touch Hamill. Ledger 2nd, Cesar Romero 3rd, Nicholson 4th.

While these are all "The Joker", they are all very different characters. Ledger's Joker was my favorite, but it's not a matter of any of them being better than the others.
