Pick your favorite and explain why?

How do you mean? Movie, comics and cartoons? Or how he's been portayed over the years?

I personally like the interpetation where you can see the humanity in the Joker. Yes he is evil, but what drives him. That is why I like the Moore interpetation in the Killing Joke. The Joker was once happy, or would have been, but becasue of an accident or [spoiler]maybe a murder by a corpurt GCPD cop[/spoiler], that future was stripped away. You nave the same sense of loss you do with Batman, excpect he snapped, and now attacks society, becasue society created him.

Oh, well then for me its a toss up between Joker in the Killing Joke and Joker from a Death in the Family. Both ways, Joker showed how really terrible he is and evil.

But the Killing Joke had to be worse. He crippled Barabara Gordan, stripped her and took nude pics of her bleeding to death with a bullet in her spine. He then showed those pictures to Jim Gordorn to drive him mad.

That was sick to no end.

Well, I've always prefered the animated version 'cause he's really twisted but really funny at the same time. Though I also think he had a family or something like the comics but he doesn't remember his past because of the trauma from falling into those chemicals. So yeah.

Um, I tried voting, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Oh well.

Yeah, Dark Wolf accidently didn't post the poll correctly.
