That would've been terrific to see Vincent Price as the Joker! Creepy? Well, that would've been an understatement! As it is, Caesar Romero & Jack Nichleson were incredible in the starring role.
I agree that every Joker has something of it's own, and one of the many good traits of Cesar's Joker is that funny smile of his, warm enough to keep children in front of the TV
One thing about this Joker in Adam West's show is his origin, the only information on his past life is a remark by Batman that The Joker had been a hypnotist in his youth. What did he do, put a gold watch to his face and told himself to be the clown prince of crime? O_o
Oh for pete's sake EVERYBODY knows Romero was gay! He was a champion for gay rights for decades and only dated girls to keep up his film image as a Latin lover. What difference does it make? He was a great actor just like Raymond Burr, (Perry Mason), who was also gay. Read something besides Hollywood propaganda once in awhile.
Also another previous comment stated that the existence of Jokers laugh is thanks to Cesar, after the producers heard his crazy laugh, they made him incorperate it into each performance.
Also of all the Jokers, Jack's Joker had the most fucked up face, sure Heath's was scarred up, but Jack's permanent Grin was so strong it pertrudded from his face, go compare them i'm telling you.
Alright, everybody just shut up. First off, neither of the actors did better than the other, Cesar was great, Jack was great, Heath was great, hell, even Mark Hamil was great. NONE of them sucked, each brought their own style to the table. The only way the actor playing Joker would suck would be if the performance diden't make you laugh. I swear, watching from Cesar all the way to Heath I was laughing at each performance. By the way, Cesar was great, he wasen't Gay as a previous comment said.
fuck up ya daft cunt n answer the question wait there i will none thats how many ledger was the best by far n you all know it so do 1 ya bunch of wallopers hahahahahahahahahahahaha
You got to keep in mind that Cesar Romero was 60 years old when he played the Joker. he was old enough to be Adam West's father and Adam was around 40 at the time of this Batman show. Romero was incredible and one of the most agile 60 year old men I've ever seen
I was not impressed with nicholson's performance either, I don't blame romero. It's a shame that the Joker in the latest batman remake died so young. Can't wait to go see it though.
Romero had a slight italian/spanish accent in the batman episodes, even though he was born and raised in New York. I guess the directors told him to exaggerate his cuban background and sound foreign for some reason, much like they told the guy who played Chekov to do the same. Even though Chekov was from Ohio.
As I recall, when the movie "Batman" came out in 1989, Cesar Romero was not happy with how Jack Nicolson played his villain. Burgess Meredith, who played the Penguin, enjoyed the new version of the villain.
This version of the Joker is meant to be camp and funny. Just like the whole 60's Batman series he is not meant to be taken seriously. It was very different than the original comics and the other darker adaptions.
I don't understand why there's a need to compare who's the best of 3 different actors who played him in different eras? The zany and fun side of the 60s fit for Caesar's take, Tim Burton and Jack gave the public a new twisted look on the one they were used to for so long, and today, with this Batman we're given, the character would have to fit the depth and demands for something just as dark, if not darker. If one thing in a franchise evolves, the rest must follow.
you are an idiot, yes heath ledger probably was the best joker but the only person making a fool out of themself is YOU. and you replied to my last msg saying y dont i stop making videos too when ive never made a video...... please explain
please kill yourself? please? Really, no one wants you alive. You can't be this god damn stupid. I really really wish I could gather all the stupid people like this in a room and just smack the spit out of them. You fucking idiot. Also how did Ceaser Romero (not the fucking guy on youtube, fucking retard)not look like the joker? Have you ever glanced at the joker before? Even if heath ledger was ridiculously bad ass in The Dark Knight (my favorite movie) he is the furthest from the real joker.
How old are you? This is Adam West's Batman from the mid 1960s, and Caesar Romero is the first actor to play The Joker. It's not someone on YouTube. Wow, know your Batman history before you try to insult someone, it only backfires on you.
ive heard some stupid shit on youtube but this is the worst, did you think heath ledger was the original joker or something? next time you decide to insult people on youtube do a bit of research first because otherwise you might end up looking like a complete idiot (like now for example) your obviously just another one of those so called "heath fans" that thinks its cool to mourn over his death but probably had never even heard of him before he died.
i think that heath was the best joker because he was the scaryest and most realistic every other one had really well done make up hut it should have been like the make up in the new movie a phycopath isnt going to spend long on his makeup
vinnymcskate, you do realize that The Joker doesn't actually wear make-up? That was something made up for The Dark Knight. Joker suffered a chemical bath which bleached his skin white permanently. Do some research, dude.
Wow you suck at spelling! First of all it's Heath not Health. Secondly it's Jack not Jake. Thridy you don't put an s on Joker (not plural) Fourthly it is Cesar not Casar. You've never been to school huh?
id like to say that caesar romero, jack nicholsin (misspell), and heath ledger are all great actors, but really its just peoples opinions that count... i personally like jack, nut thats just me. we all are entitled to like whomever we like.
Romero did something that the actors following him did not. They did crazy laughs and sinister laughs. What Romero had was his trademark ANGRY laugh. A good example is just prior to one of these excerpts where the paintings get switched. He's livid over the foiled plot but appreciates the joke.
Another good laugh-while-pissed moment is when he's tricked with a plastic model Batcave. He simultaneously screams with rage and laughs, both literally in the very same breath. Superb performance!
Ceasar Romero put a clause in his contract with the studio that he wouldn't shave off his mustache for his role as the Joker. If you look closely you'll see that his mustache was 'caked' with the white face paint that he wore. The Joker's laugh was the idea of the producers after they heard Romero's natural response the first time he saw the wardrobe for the Joker.
Why so serious xD !
