The Joker

Despite not being a clown, in particular, DC's The Joker is renowned for his cheesy and unsettling clown makeup. This figure has appeared in a variety of comic books, TV shows, animated series, video games, and films in dozens of distinct variations. Although it's challenging to single out one Joker as the best, it's difficult to ignore actor Heath Ledger's portrayal in the film The Dark Knight. Many people see this performance as the benchmark for The Joker in movies, and it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

The frenzied performance of the role by the late Heath Ledger in the 2008 film "The Dark Knight" earned him a posthumous Oscar and frightened throngs of spectators. Some people have even suggested that Ledger may have overdosed on drugs as a result of playing the character.
