“Jack? Jack is dead my friend. You can call me Joker. And as you can see. I’m a lot happier.” Love this movie.
-
His laughter when he turns into The Joker after looking in the mirror sends chills down my spine every single time.
-
Every line from Nicholson is quotable, even his laugh. 100% class, timelessness, legend.
-
Jack Palance's reaction to the Joker's face is so perfect: not just horror, not just disgust, not just shock or confusion, but a pained, contorted mélange of emotions.
-
The scene in the doctors office scared me so much as a kid.
-
This was so much scarier on VHS when you couldn't really see Jack's face in the shadows before he stepped into the light. Only 80s kids know.
-
Finally a movie with a gun that actually runs out of ammo after 6 shots.
-
He’s funny, menacing, scary and the laugh is on point.
-
I remember watching this movie in the theater. The audience loved Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Whenever he made a joke the audience laughed. He nailed the role perfectly. At the end of the movie when it showed Batman standing on a rooftop looking at the Batsymbol in the Sky was classic. Then the credits came and everyone stood up and gave a round of applause. I'll never forget that!
-
The Joker is perhaps the best portrayed character in any genre in the history of cinema. Legendary performances by legendary actors - Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger, and Jack Nicholson
-
He was the best joker. He didn't have to try, he was just being himself.
-
No matter how many Batman movies they make, none will ever recapture the vibe of this one.
-
Jack Nicholson was excellent as the Joker and arguably one of the best choices during that time period to play him.
-
Nicholson had the perfect eyebrows for the role.
-
5:28 That's why Nicholson is the most accurate Joker in comics. He's so funny and disturbing at the same time, my favorite, even if he's not from my time.
-
Nobody, NOBODY plays the Joker better than Nicholson. If you ever saw him in The Shining you knew he'd be the perfect Joker. Imagine its 1988 and you remember him in the role of the Shining and then you hear he's going to play this character must've been a rush. Best ever. Master class in acting.
-
Gotta admit... Tim Burton did fantastic with this movie!
-
love how the mere sillouhette of Joker is so menacing.
-
I feel so lucky that I grew up in the 80s and was able to see this as a kid in the theater that summer, with no internet, no spoilers, no online reviews, no tweets, no Youtube trailers, or anything. Just word of mouth and maybe a commercial on TV. Moviegoing was so much more awesome back then.

The use of the shadows is just awe inspiring in this scene. Especially how he’s framed in the elevator before we see his face. Add that with Nicholson’s quiet and level voice, it’s such a chilling way to introduce your villain.
