Here Are All the Upcoming Joker Movies

Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning turn as the Joker in The Dark Knight is the stuff of legend. Jack Nicholson originally played the comic book character in Tim Burton's playful Batman (1989), but Ledger's take on the anarchic villain added a new level of depth.

For years, no actor wanted to play the role for fear they would never measure up to Ledger's take on the deranged comedian. Enter Jared Leto.
