In the film The Dark Knight, Joker Ledger has an expendable force of clown mask wearing thugs. They have no remorse and are often hired by the Joker to do his bidding. While not always loyal to each other or sometimes even Joker Ledger, they will fight till the last man if that means one of them gets their paycheck. Others are completely loyal to Joker Ledger. Each gangster wears a unique mask and has a unique job. Some disarm alarms, others break into the vault. Some, like the Joker, are either insane or incorruptible where they were shown to follow Joker Ledger in his anarchy and joined him in burning tons of money.

Joker (DCEU)


Joker Leto is an extreme and infamously formidable psychopathic criminal from Gotham City, being at the very top of the city's criminal underworld, greatly feared by other crime bosses. Devoid of empathy or pity for anybody taking part in his wicked schemes either by intimidation or fraud, the Joker does, however, adore his girlfriend and partner in crime Harley Quinn, doing his utmost to rescue her from the Suicide Squad and clutches of Amanda Waller, with eventual success.

The Joker is also the long-time archnemesis of Batman and the murderer of the latter's protegee Robin, Jason Todd, alongside Harley.

X-Factors
Intelligence

Based on their feats, Joker Ledger did take over Gotham City with some careful planning and execution. He escaped and even outsmarted both the GCPD and Batman, assassinated high-profile lawmen and politicians, taking over Gotham and plunging it in chaos, and succeeded in turning Gotham's greatest hero into a villain. Joker Leto on the other hand, was a major crime boss even from the start of the movie, killed Robin and corrupted Harley Quinzel into one sexy monster, and even managed to take on the national government by attacking Belle Reve Prison and other well-protected government facilities.

Physicality

Joker Leto is the more buffed up ripped Joker of them two, but we seldomly see him actually fighting up close and personal. Joker Ledger on the other hand was a guy who, while not a skilled martial artist like Batman, was capable of overpowering his foes by using his wit and brutality in combat. This can be seen when he managaed to put down Batman by using a net, some dogs, a crowbar and a knife. Not even Bruce's high tech gadget can keep up with this unpredictability.

Logistics

Joker Ledger is one rich bastard, having no qualms in burning down a pyramid of money. He is armed with some good toys like armored police carriers and guns. But Joker Leto's toys on the other hand ranges from military-grade weapons, golden plated firearms and luxurious cars, to even a frigging attack helicopter.
