User blog comment:Thundrtri/Season 2: The Joker (Nolanverse) VS The Joker (Burtonverse)/@comment-2006360-20130226165824

Thornclaw's Heath Ledger Is Epic But Michael Keaton Was The Better Batman Edges

THE JOKER

Melee: This goes to Nicholson because he has more versatile weapons for various purposes. Edge: Burtonverse

Close Range: Ledger has a fully automatic weapon while Nicholson has an anti-aircraft revolver, essentially...their main revolvers both aren't really that different so I can't give a definitive edge. Edge: Even

Mid Range: Both weapons are essentially the same but Nicholson has double barrels, double ammo. Edge: Burtonverse

Special: Nicholson's Joker has lots of neat, stealthy tricks up his sleeve, but most can only really be used at close range and stealthily. Ledger's Joker has a rocket launcher, a shotgun, and grenades...more practical to do better damage to more people. DESPITE THAT...despite that, Smilex cannot be dodged or evaded. It's the real game changer here. Edge: Burtonverse

THE GANGS

Melee: What chance would the Nolanverse gang stand against KATANAS? Edge: Burtonverse

Close Range: At a first glance, Ledger's gang seem to have better weapons, though when you study more, one realizes that Nicholson's gang has far more powerful weapons. Edge: Burtonverse

Mid Range: The Mac is a pretty useful weapon, compact and rapid-fire, but it's puny in comparison to the legendary TOMMY GUN. Edge: Burtonverse

Special: Like above, Smilex is the real way for Nicholson and his gang to win. No matter what powerful firearms and bombs Ledger's gang might have, Smilex is the ultimate killing tool. Edge: Burtonverse

Vehicles: Neither has weapons of their own; while Nicholson's cars are able to flank and have better strategic movements, the bus saves space. Edge: Even

Overall, I thought Nolan would get this. However, I realize that really the Burtonverse Joker has far too many useful weapons, especially Smilex. Sorry Ledger, I know I find you the best Joker, but when it comes to battles, Nicholson got you. R.I.P.
