Don Logan vs. The Joker
I, like most people loved Ledger's Joker, but honestly, why isn't there more said about Ben Kingsley's Don Logan? It's one of the most psychotic performances I've ever seen and Kingsley showed he may have the most range of any living actor.
For those who have never seen Sexy Beast.
Language NSFW in all of these clips.
By far, the most brilliant scene in the whole film.

Ben did a god job with this character....but to be honest he is waaaayyyyy over rated and these days is just a money whore. This to me is his only decent performance. He was ok in Sneakers...but did a terrible accent in it. The guy is just in love with himself and thinks he is the bees knees. I remember seeing him on Inside the Actors Studio and boy was he up his own arse. He can shove the "Sir" and his Oscar where the sun don't shine for all i care. Heath wins hand down for being a guy who did an incredible acting job and for not being a pretentious arsehole.

Because he got up in the Queen's face and kept going "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" until she gave in.

I've gotta agree that, aside from Gandhi (which is good, if not somewhat boring), Kingsley is mostly overrated. I thought he was great in Schindler's List, but some of his recent work (like Lucky # Slevin) wasn't so hot.
That being said, I think Don Logan is one of the most insanely vicious characters I've seen on screen in a long time. He would certainly give the Joker a run for his money. Not sure who I could see coming out on top, but I'll give the edge to the Joker, but it's a tough call.
