Ya'll know how I feel about the Joker, right? You know that Joker/Batman is one of my various OTPs. Not that there is any kissy face involved because that would be ew. but I love Joker, goodness yes. I didn't like any TV incarnation of the Joker except The Batman's first season. That was a damn good Joker. Brilliant voice work by Kevin Micheal Richardson.

All other Jokers suck, though mind you, I haven't seen any other animated versions. But again--suck. Except Heath Ledgers' version. That's my Joker, right there. Beautiful performance. Just wow. So, yeah, I saw the movie tonight and it was good, but man. That guy blew me away.

I told ya - Heath was indeed brilliant and I am soo glad that his last contribution to the acting world was just beyond reproach. His Joker was the best (I've just watched Jack's Joker again in Batman 1989 to refresh my memory) and I actually think Heath's was better. And I love Jack Nicholson as an actor - so this says a lot. And you're right about the feeling messed up again since watching and being blown away by his performance and knowing we will never have the privilege of watching him again in this role. So sad but by the same token - what a helluva a swansong!

It was--I always thought he was a pretty good actor, but man...no one's ever going to forget this Joker, ever.
