Joker (2019)

If you&#39;ve seen the smash-hit movie, we want you to vote for the best Joker quotes. This revisionist take on the popular DC villain is filled with&nbsp;character quotes that get&nbsp;inside his dark and twisted mind. There are also some funny lines and wicked one-liners.

Joaquin Phoenix steps into the estimable shoes of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Heath Ledger to portray Batman&#39;s nemesis. The Dark Knight -- at least in his adult form -- is nowhere to be found in this new film, though. Instead, we follow Arthur Fleck, a clown-for-hire with severe mental health problems. Worn down by his job, his life, and society in general, Arthur slowly loses his grip on reality. His dream is to be a stand-up comedian and to earn the notice of his hero, late-night talk show host Murray Franklin (Robert DeNiro). After getting that notice in the form of public ridicule, Arthur finally snaps. Plying himself with makeup, he fully becomes the Joker.

Joker was directed and co-written by Todd Phillips, who previously made The Hangover and its sequels. Co-starring in the film are Zazie Beetz,&nbsp;Frances Conroy, Shea Wigham, and Brett Cullen. Together with Phoenix and DeNiro, they deliver a hard R-rated comic book movie unlike any we&#39;ve seen before.

Vote up the&nbsp;most memorable Joker quotes you like best from the list below, regardless of which character speaks them.

Historical Figures

There may be no fictional origin more well-known around the world than that of the Batman, the Caped Crusader of Gotham City who began a lifelong campaign of vengeance on the criminal elements of the world after his parents were slain in an alley. Bruce Wayne might be the most prominent figure who turned his tragic backstory and considerable resources into significant martial prowess on a quest for justice, but he&rsquo;s not the only one. There are some who come from the pages of actual real-world history.

There are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-old-hollywood-stars-as-superhero-characters/anncasano" target="_blank">actors from old Hollywood</a>&nbsp;who could surely pretend to be him, but they wouldn&#39;t be equivalent&nbsp;to the real&nbsp;Dark Knight.&nbsp;That doesn&rsquo;t mean, however,&nbsp;there haven&rsquo;t been legions of passable Batmen throughout history. The character of Bruce Wayne was reportedly inspired by both <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/life-of-robert-the-bruce/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">Robert the Bruce</a> and &ldquo;Mad Anthony&rdquo; Wayne, and each of them certainly qualifies as historical figures that would have fit in well <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-things-happen-gotham-city/jacobybancroft?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">in Gotham City</a>,&nbsp;but they&rsquo;re not the only ones!

What does it take to be the&nbsp;Batman? Many things, but most importantly a tragic background;&nbsp;a sense of justice and individuality;&nbsp;some serious fighting skills and tactical brilliance;&nbsp;and, of course, as much money and influence as possible.&nbsp;

Every superhero has their own coterie of supervillains, but no one has a rogues&rsquo; gallery quite like the Dark Knight. With the Joker, the Riddler, the Scarecrow, the Penguin, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, Bane, Ra&#39;s al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, and all the other all-time classics, one might assume there&rsquo;s just no room for any new Batman comic villains over at DC. But they&rsquo;d be wrong.

Through the weekly publishing cycle of DC Comics, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/who-has-been-batman-in-comics/math-erao" target="_blank">World&rsquo;s Greatest Detective faces new cases</a> on a more-than-monthly basis, and that has&nbsp;required a steady influx of baddies of all shapes and sizes. Each and every year, some new memorable <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/awful-batman-villain-acts/jacobybancroft" target="_blank">villains seem to show up in Gotham City</a> and start wrecking the place, and it&rsquo;s always up to the Batman to stop them - though, if they&rsquo;re particularly memorable, he probably won&rsquo;t stop them for good. That way, they can continue to show up again and again.&nbsp;

With Christopher Nolan&#39;s hyper-realistic depiction of the Batman Universe, we can&#39;t help but remember that certain villains in the Batman mythos bear a surprising similarity to certain real-life criminals. Below are some examples - and they&#39;re pretty good. After all, would you ever expect a real-life Mr. Freeze? Not likely. Other villains - like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actresses-who-played-catwoman/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">Catwoman</a> - would be a bit more believable, but either way, you wouldn&#39;t expect everyday people to commit ridiculous offenses, nonetheless replicating a fictional character, right?
