Not that this topic hasn't be covered a hundred times before... and thanks for being so original, but let me repost what I had said about this once already....
--------------------
I hated Nicholson's Joker... but people praised him, said his performance could not be improved upon.
He was a good actor, but a terrible Joker. It's not his fault though, it's what the movie makers wanted. They did his make up, wrote the words, put him in those clothes.
The Joker didn't use knock out gas... he used poison gas. He didn't leave cards that could be analyzed, he left cards that blew up! He didn't trap people to kill them in some contraption.... he shot them between the eyes.
He's a serial killer... and what they did to his character for tv and the movies and the even the comics for a while was terrible.
But I guess it all came at a time when people didn't want their kids reading about that. It was too..... "dark".
