The original Batman series
A matinée idol and quintessential “Latin lover” character actor with decades of film and television credits to his name, Cesar Romero may not be everyone’s favorite Joker, but he was thefirst to play the role on screen. A major recurring villain in the original Batman series from 1966 to 1969, Romero famously refused to shave his mustache for the role, and it can still be seen, slathered with white makeup. Future Jokers would bring new layers to the role, but if you watch carefully, you can s...
Gotham
Gotham began as a fairly gritty procedural series following incorruptible cop Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and his grizzled partner Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) as they navigate the increasingly insane streets of a pre-Batman Gotham City. The show mutated into something very different over time, going gleefully off the rails. Presenting its own origin stories for classic Batman characters like Catwoman, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, the Penguin, and Bane, Gotham also introduced multiple potential Jok...
Suicide Squad
There are plenty of fans who likely want to forget about Jared Leto’s performance in David Ayer’s much-maligned 2016 Suicide Squad altogether. Heath Ledger’s brilliant performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight was eight years old by then, yet remained burned into the minds of just about everyone. Leto’s Joker veered so far from Ledger’s take on the characterthat it left some audiences seething. Still, despite Ayers’ heavy-handed and tonally inconsistent approach to the Bat-verse established...
The Batman
Right now, Keoghan's version of the Clown Prince is more promise than it is product. We've seen little more of the Irish actor's turn in the role than a brief scene shared between him and Paul Dano's Riddler in the closing moments of Matt Reeves'swirling, epic take on the Dark Knight. However, in those quick moments (and a deleted scene), Keoghan still offers something rather tantalizing — a Joker that is smart, snide, psychologically manipulative, and perhaps a bit less titanically unhinged...
Joker
Director Todd Phillips' Joker film proved to be divisive and surprising, delivering an Elseworlds-style alternate-universe take on the character. Like Gotham, Joker exists in a pre-Batman Gotham City. Like the Joker of Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck is a failed comedian who becomes a criminal. This is where Joker leaves the comic book source material behind, becoming a dark psychological thriller in the mold of its two main inspirations, Martin Scor...
