Joaquin for me.
Ledger was good but not the greatest ever like a lot of people claim. Nicholson was better than Ledger in my opinion.

The original question is kinda unfair as we didn't get to see much of Joaquin a The Joker, we got a taste here and there.

If you count screen time, we almost certainly got more of Joaquin as Joker than we did Heath. And I understand what you're saying, he didn't really become Joker till the end. But yeah, even then, we got more Joaquin joker.

As for Nicholson, and really Joaquin as well, Heath was playing a totally different style of Joker. Nicholson played a more classical, James Cagney 30s gangster style Joker.

Heath's, per what he and Nolan created, was a punk-anarcho-terrorist Joker. It was a completely fresh and energetic take on the character.

And yeah, out of Nolan's Batman movies, TDK is my least favorite otherwise because I find it visually boring compared to BB and TDKR which are visually stunning, and the plot drags for like 10 minutes in the middle, which doesn't seem like much once it picks up but when you're in it it feels like forever.
