Nicholson played the deranged Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie, opposite Michael Keaton as the masked hero. His performance is legendary, and many thought Heath Ledger would never be able to stack up . . . until they actually saw Ledger in the role, of course.

Heath was so amazing as Joker, but the scariest looking villain in this slideshow is definitely Cillian Murphy as The Scarecrow!

Heath's "Joker" was the darkest and by far, my favorite...I will not be seeing this new one until it's on DVD
