"Burton gave Jack Nicholson top billing, and watching the movie today, this was the right call. Nicholson’s Joker suffers in comparison to the iconic Heath Ledger version that came along years later, but he still absolutely eats up the screen. Early on, as sneering gangster Jack Napier, Nicholson grounds the movie, giving it a palpable real-world menace; his icy physicality is perfect.
And as Joker, he does everything to not ground the movie, to push it into feverish insanity. He might rely on the frantic giggling a little too much, but the way he refuses to take the threat of Batman seriously is great. He’s in constant riff mode, but because it’s Nicholson, as opposed to someone like later riff-monster Batman villain Jim Carrey, the riffs carry a hint of menace and depravity.”
