The Joker. V is driven politically more than emotionally. |

V doesn't seem that insane.He's mostly the fantasy of the sort of people who romantically think a guy with a sword is better than a guy with a gun.

The joker is insane because he acts without clear motivation; simply for the purpose of acting. This is the essence of his character. V has a clear, planned, method and purpose.
(Perhaps ambiguous through the plot of the story, but it is quite clear in hindsight.) |

The Joker winds hands-down in almost any fictional character crazy-off, but this is actually kind of a good standoff. V is a pathologically idealistic, Joker is pathologically amoral. |

He's pretty batsh*t in the comic. The movie cut a lot of stuff up and made things shorter and longer for emphasis... But in the plodding pacing of the book... Dude was clearly off his nut. Not wrong, just f*ckin' obsessed and very eccentric. Plus there was no ninja bullsh*t in the book, so you didn't even have that for credibility as to him being this hyper disciplined dude.
I mean, torturing Evie was like... 10 minutes of the movie. It was the entire 2nd Act of the book pretty much.
He was f*cking nuts.
That being said, I think the joker is crazier, because he really has no motive other than to revel in the fun of what he's doing. |

Joker, definently. In The Dark Knight, he was super psycho. I'm sure we've all seen that movie, though  |

I don't actually think the Joker is crazy, at least not in TDK. He's emotionally scarred, but I don't think he's insane. The Joker's an anarchist and I honestly think 99% of what he did in that movie was just to shake the system up. |

I don't think that V is insane at all. |
