Joker: Gotham's Nightmare

Looking at Christopher Nolan's gritty Batman trilogy.

The Dark Knight

Watchworthy

Venturing into the labyrinth of the Joker's history, countless actors have donned the wide grin and signature cackle synonymous with the character.

This exploration is a deep dive into the sea of Joker actors ranked by fan opinions.Each portrayal of the Joker offers a unique prism through which to view the notorious character. Through the lens of these talented artists, viewers are treated to a kaleidoscope of the Joker's many faces. Among the best Joker actors, they capture the essence of the character, amplifying his chaotic nature and transformative elements, while injecting their own distinctive nuances into the portrayal. Joaquin Phoenix even won an Oscar for his performance as the Joker. Each performance becomes a stand-alone benchmark, pushing the boundaries of what audiences have come to expect from this <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-comic-book-villains?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book villain</a>.&nbsp;Take Heath Ledger, for example - it's hard to forget his chillingly brilliant metamorphosis into Gotham's agent of chaos in The Dark Knight. He skillfully stripped away the veneer of sanity, revealing the terrifying embodiment of anarchy beneath.

Then there's Joaquin Phoenix who transformed into the character with such raw intensity that it felt like watching a man descend into madness.&nbsp;All Joker actors, in their respective performances, brought something truly special to the table, effectively immersing fans into the twisted psyche of the character. Each constructed their version of the menace, and a few stand out as the best Joker actors, according to their loyal fans.

High School Musical

In 2006, Disney was churning out more popular tween series than your average AIM-addicted 14-year-old could keep up with.

There's even an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cjas/identities1.html">academic paper</a> about how Hargitay's real life and fictional character converge in the zeitgeist.

Empire Records

Watching the moon landing on TV changed some people&#39;s lives;&nbsp;others were shaped by the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show.&nbsp;For kids growing up in the &#39;90s, seeing Empire Records&nbsp;for the first time was a major cultural&nbsp;catalyst. Even though it wasn&#39;t a box office smash when it came out in 1995, it managed to shape a generation of young people,&nbsp;inspiring them to seek out jobs at record stores, proclaim their undying love for the Gin Blossoms, and even give Rex Manning the day he deserves.

On top of shedding light on&nbsp;musical acts that weren&rsquo;t on the radio (GWAR, the Lemonheads, Daniel Johnston), Empire Records showed teens a world where weirdos could gather, shave their heads, and hold funerals for their former selves - all while working at a record store.&nbsp;But what has happened to <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-empire-records-actors-and-actresses/reference" target="_blank">the cast of </a><a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-empire-records-actors-and-actresses/reference" target="_blank">Empire Records</a>&nbsp;in the age of digital music?

Mike Myers

What happened to Mike Myers? Apparently, the man himself would laugh at the notion of a "Mike Myers comeback," because according to him, he’s been right here, doing his thing. He makes a movie, and takes a few years to plan the next one. In the meantime,&nbsp;he plays hockey, soccer, and&nbsp;D&amp;D. He also paints, mainly portraits of Colonel Sanders (not a joke).&nbsp;Myers also has a reputation for being difficult to work with. He can be demanding, moody, and a control freak. It’s possible, then,&nbsp;that producers and directors may not be lining up to work with him. Or, he’s choosy. Or both. In any case, it doesn’t seem that Myers gives these large absences from the public eye any thought.&nbsp;
