Chocolate covered Pedo FTW!!!!

Wilder earns my respect here.

[Doug E Fresh]

Wilder was a more interesting Wonka than Johnny Depp cuz he did it first.

But the Joker is my winner.

[Exile]

Heres my thing. Ledger did a great joker, BUT he did the joker that was out of the comics, the joker that we deserved. Nolan got it.

Wilder's Wonker is different than Dahl's, his was manic, and brilliant, but with this warmth that the Wonka in the book and the depp movie lacked.

Wilder wins. Be smart movie people. Dont be idiot fanboys.

[Fnord]

In ten years, we will remember Wanka far more then one particular version of The Joker. Wanka wins hands down for me.

I don't know if I agree with this statement.  I talk to people all the time that don't know that Gene Wilder was Willy Wonka first.  I hang my head in shame.  I did vote for the Wonka though. 

[Jonny Briggs]

Ledger's Joker was great. Wilder's Wonka was legen- wait for it- dary.

The Michael Jackson of confectionary making gets my vote

[GM Franchise]

Picked the Joker for the simple reason that he made an impact. Plus I'm not a big fan of movies with musical numbers in them so that also played a roll in this.

A: Heh... "Wanka"

B: Disagree.

I love Wilder's Wonka, but Ledger's Joker has shown that even comic book movies can be taken seriously as acting pursuits, rather than guaranteed money-makers. Now if only somebody would pass that message onto Nicholas Cage...

[Drama Queen]

Any Dahl movie I've seen I've preferred the book.

Whereas I've never bothered to read Batman literature in my life so Batman movies have never disappoitned me.

That is why I'm voting for the Joker here. Put them against each other in a best literature character contest and my vote would be reversed.

[Gary]

Never seen Batman referred to as literature.

[Kieran King]

Actually got to study Batman comics in an elective English paper I took at University. It counts as literature now!

[Gary]

tie breaker vote: the joker.
