W-welcome to our speculative stadium, where legends duke it out and winner takes all! All what? No one knows! W-we’re just here to have fun! nervous laughter
We’re… celebrating the Joker’s 80th Anniversary! I do not have a Joker bomb strapped to me or anything. Why would you think that? I’m sweating because it’s really warm here!
clears throat The Joker is the classic Batman villain that almost always seems to somehow wriggle his way out of Arkham to continue terrorizing Gotham. His continuous battle against the Bat is legendary, and the topic of his sanity is widely debated. No matter what, you can’t deny that the Joker is an iconic part of the Batman comics!
We’ve seen Batman go toe-to-toe with the Joker hundreds of times! So, which of these two iterations of Joker would win? How would your choice win? What are the determining factors? Either way, the Joker wins!
Joker: Animated Series (1992) vs. Joker: Batman (1989)

Ooh, this was tough! I went with ‘89 Joker because he seems like he’d be a little quicker to pull the trigger, while his animated counterpart is more of a showman.

Aw come on @BestBeastBoy!LOL! It’s like asking which of your kids you like the best! Boy that was hard! I had to pick Jack Nicholson Joker cause I think everybody would pick the animated series.

Animated Joker would go on to be a Justice League villain.

Jack Napier was a thug who was motivated by pure jealousy. The animated Joker? That’s pizzazz!

I’m afraid of the backlash that would ensue if I expressed anything less than worship for Luke Skywalker’s portrayal of the Joker. I’ll let Gene Siskel take the heat instead:

Good call. I’m saying it’s a tie for me. I chose 89, but simply due to my love of Nicholson. This isn’t just tough for me, it’s impossible. Easier you ask me “which of your dogs do you like best?”, or “who’s your favorite grandmother?”

Obviously a Joker is going to win lol I really think the animated Version is more insane than mob boss like 1989 Joker

I mean Nicholson’s Joker will pop you for screwing up once (RIP Bob the Goon) and shot down the Batwing with just a comically large .38 Special. He’s got the edge here.

I picked Jack Nicholson’s Joker. “Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
He is a classic!

the animated one would make short work of the Nicholson’s joker, the animated had crazy in spades and just be two steps ahead of the other one.
