Better villain: Joker or Voldemort?

Who do you think is a better villain of the two?

I'm referring to the two characters' portrayals in The Dark Knight and the Harry Potter films respectively, not from the original source material.

Oh come on, there's no contest. The Joker.

Jesus Christ.

Just.... man.....

The Joker definitely.

The Joker, no contest.

Joker by a mile plus infinite miles.

It's Joker, though I like them both.

Joker: Unpredicatable, mysterious past has been portrayed greatly by Mark Hamil and Heath Ledger. Great, great villian and probably the #1 comic book villian of all time.

Voldemort: He has an interesting past, and I 'd like to see J.K write a more adult oriented book that focuses on that, or on the Mauraders. He's a good character but to comapare whether he is better then the Joker isn't that great of a match up, because realistically Voldemort could Avada Kadavra anyone, making him as over powered as Superman. Yet Joker goes to such dark depths that Voldemort couldn't compete at all.

:cool:

Joker, he has a certain magic that Voldemort will never have.xdude85

I think you've got your wizards and your clown magic mixed up.

Joker is the greatest villain in popular culture history.

Joker handsdown, Voldemort never interest me :P

Voldemort is constantly outwitted by teenagers. The correct answer is Joker.

Voldemort has standards in that he doesn't kill pure bloods for no reason... sometimes. The Joker just wants to watch the world burn.

I'm talking about villainy in terms of flat-out nastiness and psychosis. Sure, Vader is menacing, but Joker would laugh right in his face.

Let's put this in simpler terms:

Mark Hamill's Joker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> James Earl Jones' Vader

Silly, Darth Vader isn't a villain.

I'm 26 and even before the prequels came out and I watched the movies as a kid - he was just a henceman to me. I honestly thought he was just another stormtrooper that ranked up, got a black suit, and used a lightsaber. He got beat by a padawan with ease.

When I watched part 2(or Episode V - Empire Strikes Back) that I felt he was a villain, but then I seen part 3(or Episode VI - Return of the Jedi) where he became the hero of the prophecy.

I won't discuss Episodes I-III, cause was just a cry baby throughout all three - Greatest Villain He Is NOT. Wouldn't even place Vader in my top 20 villains.

Id say voldermort since he seems like more of a genuine threat. He is basically hitler with near god-like powers and 7 1-ups

The Joker. Voldemort made some disastrously stupid moves (that were quite convenient for the plot I might add).

Well, this poll will be a slaughter

**Clicks poll results**

The Joker because everybody knows that magic is not real.

The Joker...

What's a Voldemort? I went with Joker.

The Joker, purely for that nurse's outfit in TDK.

90% voted for the Joker?

Joker... voldemort looked **** stupid in harry potter

Wow OT is slow today...

Completely different characters, how are these even comparable? Obviously Joker's going to get the love in OT because HP is far too mainstream and not 'edgy' and 'hip' enough.
