Which did you prefer: Hackman as Lex Luthor or Nicholson as The Joker?

Age old question, which villain & performance did you prefer: Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor in the Superman films or Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Batman 89?

Nicholson as The Joker. Bear in mind that I was a Marvel fan, and the only real exposure I had to either character was in their various DC cartoons, in which they were basically harmless, silly blowhards.

Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker was the first time that I actually started to grasp the true insane MENACE of that character. Gene Hackman just seemed to continue the 'JLA' version of the harmless supervillain.

Hackman, although I like the 1989 Batman film better overall.

Re: Which did you prefer: Hackman as Lex Luthor or Nicholson as The Joke

Nicholson by far. Honestly, a trickier question would be whether I prefer his Joker or Terence Stamp's General Zod.
