The Top Ten
1 Daniel Day-Lewis Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis is an English actor. He holds both British and Irish citizenship. He has won 3 Academy Awards for Best Actor for My Left Foot, There Will be Blood, and Lincoln.

He's fantastic in just about any role.

Yeah he'd be great

2 Jared Leto Jared Joseph Leto is an American actor, singer-songwriter, and director. He is well known for being the lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars.

He'd be the best joker after heath ledger.

He's perfect, as well as Joaquin Phoenix.

He is going to

3 Edward Norton Edward Harrison Norton is an American actor, filmmaker and activist. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards for his work in the films Primal Fear, American History X and Birdman.

Norton would make an amazing joker.

4 Johnny Depp John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, producer, and musician. He has won the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor. His role in a movie is often rather big. His character is often on the "loopy side" and his character being in a darker state of mind, etc.

He sucked at being the mad hatter so he would suck as the joker simple

5 Tom Hiddleston Thomas William Hiddleston is an English actor. He is best known for his role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in Thor, The Avengers, and Thor: The Dark World.

That sinister smile and the looks. He'll make a great Joker.

He's in Marvel so it will never happen.

6 Christoph Waltz Christoph Waltz is an Austrian-German actor that has won 2 Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor for his collaborations with director Quentin Tarantino in Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained.

He has played that bone chilling voice that every psychopath should have including the joker. He also has played insane violent people I the past so he does have the experience to play the part. He could also portray a old brutal but still psychotic joker similar too the one in the dark knight returns.

His Bond villain was well portrayed.

7 Kevin Spacey Kevin Spacey Fowler KBE (born July 26, 1959) is an American actor and producer. He began his career as a stage actor during the 1980s, obtaining supporting roles in film and television.

Partially based on face - he has a great mouth for the Joker. Otherwise based on his ability to play psycho upbeat comedian.

He'd be surprisingly good at this. And so would his character on Brooklyn Nine-nine.

His face is actually shaped perfectly to imitate the the joker smile.

The Contenders

He would be perfect ❤ I added a few female actors to the list, but I guess the person that made this list is sexist and weird. Personally I would love to see a female Joker.

This guy deserved so much better than the Star Wars prequels.
