Your thoughts on his "Joker" portrayal?
I personally didn't like it. Maybe at the time (1989) it was groundbreaking. But Heath Ledger's portrayal was far better. Nicholson's was too cartoonish and comical.

shareCesar Romero is the true Joker.
shareI saw it in theaters and I don't think anyone at the time lauded the role as groundbreaking. In fact, it was regarded as being "cartoonish and comical" as you say. But Jack did bring a darkness to it beyond the Adam West days.
Overall, I think his take was totally apropos for this iteration of Batman.
He was fun in the role, but Ledger was scary. Scary AND fun.
shareNicholson's was too cartoonish and comical.
It ruined the movie. Pure ham.
