Yeah like Jeri said, Jack Nicholson was playing Jack Nicholson. Which is a great joker because Jack is a nutcase if he wants to be. As far as the creative control went with that character, Tim Burton didn't read comic books so had no idea how Joker was portrayed.

As for Heath he was great, I assume he walked into Nolan's office with the "Well here is what I've got" and the two worked it out. It had to have been a collaboration.

Hamil, on the other hand, has a great Joker voice but he's just a voice.
