This Joker isn’t the best version of the Joker, because Jack Nicholson is really playing Jack Napier, who plays the Joker. It feels almost nothing like Batman fans had seen before, and yet, unlike the comic classic that decades of writers had slowly crafted from a caricature into the maniacal iconic symbol of chaos we know today. Jack Nicholson’s performance as the Joker in Batman (1989) is a classic. Thanks to a self-imposed limited scope, there are villains who won’t make the cut, so, before beginning, here are the honorable mentions. Continuing into this year with the release of The Batman (2022), we’re talking about 79 years of cinematic history, which includes multiple animated movies, collaborative movies ( Justice League), and cameo appearances (2016’s Suicide Squad).
But, the cinematic saga of Batman is longer than the James Bond franchise, if you include the initial serial productions of Batman (1943). The film villains of Batman have many times overshadowed the titular character in their own way, stealing the spotlight and becoming iconic in and of themselves. (Here’s some trivia answer for you: the first character portrayal to see two different actors win an Academy Award was Michael Corleone by both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro in The Godfather trilogy.) Cinematically, it is only the second franchise to see two different actors win an Academy Award for portraying the same character, compliments of Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker.
The rogues’ gallery that belongs to the Batman universe is arguably the best of any film franchise, any TV show, or any comic publisher. Odin can summon the Bifrost Bridge (but does not always need it to travel), and the bridge has most recently been destroyed by Thor in his new and terrifying Hulk form using sheer brute strength alone, a feat once thought impossible. The God Heimdallr (Heimdall in the comics and the MCU) guards the bridge from his residence in Himinbjörg. In North Mythology, the Bifrost Bridge allows the Gods to travel between realms, namely Asgard and Midgard. But as of What If…Miles Morales Became Thor? #4, the eons-old bridge is no longer the Bifrost Bridge…but the Brooklyn Bridge, used by Miles Morales when he became the new God of Thunder. Marvel’s Asgard is a hybrid of design taken from old myths and Jack Kirby-created architecture. Marvel’s Thor travels between Asgard and Midgard (read: Earth) using the famous Bifrost Bridge, perhaps better known as the Rainbow Bridge from North Mythology – but now, the colorful construction has an all-new look.
