Heath Ledger (Joker) or Daniel Day-Lewis (Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting)?

Bill because he's a much more fleshed out character with real life motivation for his choices as an adult.

DDL's classic NY accent is mint

I wouldn't fault anyone for picking either one. They are both outlandish cartoon characters in supporting roles, brilliantly inhabited by extraordinary actors, who meticulously crafted together performances that really stood out & jumped off the screen.

I don't particularly love either movie, but those two were definitely the high points of each. They stole the show

Two GOATs. It's not a far comparison for me because Ledger is playing a way more fun character.

Now i want see Daniel Day-Lewis play as the Joker, thanks TS

Been over 10 years since I saw Gangs, but the Joker is the more iconic character and performance imo.

I've had Gangs on Blu-ray forever too, I really need to get on that.

The craziest thing about that movie is the gang war was literally a real event.

I love both characters but gonna have to go with joker

 

[gspieler]

Both great performances. I'll give the nod to DDL though because, as another poster mentioned, he brought more depth to the character.

Saw this recently, seems appropriate for this thread

Bill the butcher easily...

Heath ledger as joker is probably the 2nd most overrated performance in Hollywood history

The Joker is in the lead so far. Also what is the most overrated performance?

Or make him the Penguin or riddler in the DCEU or solo batman movie. He has the nose for the Penguin.

Denzel in training day...

Good performances but not the most fantastic like many people make them out to be.

He would kill all these roles

Penguin likes that top hat, DDL wore in Lincoln, and GONY

 

[FyrFytr998]

Both were GOAT level performances, but I think Bill the Butcher stands out a little more to me. Which says a lot, because TDK is one of my top 3 superhero movies.

 

[ThinkGreen]

DDL definitely
