HERE'S WHAT I THINK:
The Joker vs Doctor Octopus
My two favorite super villains. Heck, the only reason I like the Batman/Spiderman comics and movies! (I don't like either Batman or Spiderman, but I'm a life long fan of both The Joker and Dr. Octavian aka the Octopus. In my book, one is as good as the other, I can not decide who is better, I love them both. So, now it's up to you to decide: The best of DC vs the best of Marvel: who is the best of all?
The Joker!
I'm a huge life-long fan of the Joker. The Joker ranks as one of my "obsessions". I've loved the Joker since way back in the old "classic Batman" days, and the H&B cartoons, and of course, the comic books (which is how I got started liking him to begin with.)
The Joker was the first comic book character to actually kill someone in a comic book, which caused all kinds of complaints and had folks wanting the comic book banned (can't remember the year, I think it was in the 1940's). He has a reputation of being the meanest villain ever created.
Why do I love the Joker? I have no idea. I just do. Maybe it's the green hair? The crazy purple suit? The way he turns everything into a practical joke? The fact that he isn't happy unless you die happy and thus make certain that you'll die laughing? Or maybe it's just that laugh, which cackles across the pages, page after page, even after he's walked away, and the stream of laughter is still scattering across the pages.
Than again, who wouldn't love an escaped psychopath?
Well, me knowing him from the comic book, meant that though I liked the TV show and cartoon versions of him, I was always disappointed by the way they changed him, from his outright evilness and made him "too nice". Dark Knight, however, kept him true to the comic book, making it one of my top fave movies ever.

Doctor Octopus!
I only ever read the Doctor Octopus issues of the Spider-man comics, and I only started watching the Hanna-Barbara cartoon, when I found out they were making a Doctor Octopus episode. Likewise, when the Spider-man movies came out, I passed off #1 as uninteresting and was bored with #3, but #2 became one of my fave movies. Can you guess why?
I always fall for the mad-scientist, but WOW! Doctor Octopus is the greatest mad-scientist of them all!

Doctor Octopus I know not well. The Joker...on the other hand, I love! I liked Nicholson's Joker and I liked Ledger's Joker...the later I found better when we watched The Dark Knight at home.

Well, since I never saw the joker, Dr. Octopus has my vote. Those arms taking over the professor were scary.
