Yes, Cesar Romero was definitely the BEST Joker ever. Cesar often said that he enjoyed playing the Joker, it was the easiest role he ever did. In public, he also said that enjoyed doing the Joker's laugh for kids and he loved seeing them laugh!
It was said he didnt take the role seriously and practice alot either. He just did what he wanted to do which is why it seems so enjoyable watching this despite how old these clips are
The late Adam West had said that Cesar Romero was beloved by the cast and crew of Batman. Mr. Romero would sit in his stage chair and snooze and when called to do his scenes would do them perfectly without any need for retakes. In addition, he had a special concern for the cast/crew who had to do some of the more dangerous stunts and was always asking if they were doing alright
The thing that has always stood out for me about Cesar Romero (and all the other villains on the show) is that you can tell the actors were having SO MUCH FUN doing the part. Yeah, they overact, but they’re clearly having the time of their lives doing it-the bad puns, the ridiculous alliteration, the silly plots…I imagine it must have been a blast to be on the set. There’s a sweetness to that: people having fun doing what they love. I think that’s what we all aspire to. :)
Victor Buono got to quite a few King Tut episodes because it allowed him to overact something he really enjoyed doing, and yeah Gorshin's Riddler was also something to remember, though I can't fault the man given I don't know how much anyone was paid, but I do wonder how much Gorshin was being paid if he thought he could hold out for more money season 2...(which he didn't get given they had a similar villain called the Puzzler for one episode and John Astin be the Riddler for another...) and of course even when Gorshin did come back for season 3...yeah kinda too late by then lol
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This Joker wasn't just the "Clown Prince Of Crime", he was the "King Of A Good Time" which is something that has been lost from 1989 & on... Too much serial killer in other versions & not enough "Life Of The Party" like this version was. He sure was the GOAT!!!

This was the silver age the serial killer is there modern age of joker
Yeah. A good Joker needs this lovable funness in spite of what he does. Occasionally, the heavier material of him wanting to break Batman to prove an absurdist philosophy point about morality and meaning can be good, however it should only be used sparingly. Just because that aspect from The Killing Joke and Ledger Joker is so popular doesn't mean it should be overused. Likewise having him do really heinous stuff all the time is detrimental. It's boring, and flanderises the character. For me, I think bronze age Joker has the correct balance. A Death in the Family is the turning point of making escalation of evil the point, which is a bad idea long term as there's only so far you can go with that. The Killing Joke also contributed to this, although I do like it as a one shot code on the Batman and Joker dynamic. Would I want ever story like that? No, but as a one off it works (this is why in some ways I'd rather it not be in canon continuation as I think that messes up the reflective aspect of TKJ if it's just another story).
@@MidnightIsolde You sum up my thoughts quite well. It's good to explore those darker philosophical questions every now and then, but it's important not to bend it too far in that direction. And I do believe Alan Moore wrote Killing Joke with the idea in mind that it would be "non-canon." He liked exploring darker themes with superheros, but he seems to also understand there's a certain point you don't want to cross, and he even criticizes the gratuitously dark stuff in works like Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
@@Tumbleflop He just laughed and said something like "no, come on we have to get home." While the kid who wanted to fight me was about 5, I was about 20. So he would have won, because I don't think I could bop, biff or kapow a kid.
The point is the Joker never wants to know who Batman really is. Joker has had many, many, many opportunities to unmask him, and even when he figures out who Batman is in Batman stories, which he has, he always makes himself forget on purpose or ignores it entirely because to him, that's boring. He only cares about making Batman suffer AS Batman. Same goes for Robin.
@@Lewis9700 The women are just as much in trouble as the head villain and his/her henchmen/women.I'd rather stay on the good side being a law-abiding citizen than a crook.
01:00 love how Batman has to follow the law EXACTLY to make the arrest. It's the Joker! Even if he didn't commit that crime doesn't mean just let him go.
I mean, to be fair, Batman...for whatever reason...wanted to make some legal citizen's arrest, I suppose? Yeah no, he's kinda dim there. But it's for laughs.
I'm pretty sure the story here is that Joker is out of jail legitimately, he served his time, or got off for good behavior or something. Now he's running around town, being as annoying as possible, without actually breaking the law. You have to be able to prove he did some new crime. You can't arrest him just for being the Joker. There are laws. Horrible, draconian, facist laws. Loitering for over two minutes is a five year jail sentence?! WTF?
@@Commanderziff Not just 5 years in jail, a $5,000 fine too. As little sense as that made, these two episodes have always been my favourites of the 60's show. The Joker Goes to School and The Grisly Ghoul Meets His Match were my first ever 60's Batman episodes.
@@UltimaKeyMaster Some crimes have no insanity plea because it's premeditated, detailed, and shows a knowldge of right from wrong. Tax evasion is one of them. You go straight to jail every time.
Cesar Romero is my favourite Joker. No disrespect to the others. But his performance horrified me as a kid, and absolutely cracked me up when i became older and understood all of the innuendos. 😂
When I watched the Batman reruns in the early 1970’s as a kid, I sat on the steps going down to my parent’s finished basement. Was a bit afraid when the Joker was the villain. ha Loved his portrayal after I grew up though.
The way this video opens it makes me think that this continuity even has the strange superpower to appear when many a crowd is mentioning him or presenting footage of him. Strange.
1:29 OMG. AOSTH Robotnik's memetic "PINGAS" has some competition with the Joker saying "PeaNUTS my boy, Mayor PEAnuts". 6:42 Joker talks to several athletes. XD 7:40 My favorite Batman vs Joker moment. So silly! 😂
"I don't approve of gambling."-The one man who could casually play every slot machine and gacha game in the world simultaneously at max payouts and shrug off whatever he lost. ;P
@@yajomar4556 I had no problem with it either, but my mom and aunts who grew up with Batman '66 saw the darker depictions as "childhood ruining". Good thing they don't know about the version where he wears his own flayed and decaying face as a mask.
Season Two Premier Episodes Scenes from the Zodiac Crimes, The Joker's Hard Times and The Penguins Declines should also be in as part of The Joker's Best Moments in the Batman TV Series.
that little tilt back of his head and the lifting of his eyes at 4:42 is all of cesar’s charm and suaveness in a neat little bundle and i think his charisma only enhanced his performance tbh!!
Okay, that’s why in “Halloween Fairstival” Strong Bad (dressed as Cesar Romero’s Joker) says “C’mon my Bad Pennies, let’s bolt!” It was a reference to this episode. Later he says “Hello kiddies, a-meet the Joker!”
Genial el mejor joker de todos los tiempos del mejor batman de los 60s siempre imitados jamas igualados simplemente brillante deslumbrante como un sol de portento genial unico
Heath Ledger's character was an awesome villain. And the acting was also amazing. I can't fault it. But he really was not the Joker. He didn't tell jokes or laugh. There were 0 Joker vibes beyond visuals and name.
@@Rgoid I am neutral about the *look* of Heath's Joker. While I don't prefer the slapdash makeup job, I also don't know if it was un-Jokery for a Joker to not do very neat makeup work. Comicbook Joker's face is not makeupped, it's chemically bleached, but it makes sense to portray him has weareing makeup in live action, so there's already a necessary artistic license to how he looks in movies. Besides, modern Joker cut his own face off. If the character himself is willing to devalue the identity of his own face so far as to literally remove it, I suppose we can't care too much about how it is portrayed.

You can hear any of these lines in Mark Hamill’s Joker voice too. That’s why it’s great.

0:45 A fucking $5,000 fine and five year prison sentence for loitering? Imagine what the punishment for illegal parking is.
Yeah that was pretty hilarious!
5K in 1966 was a ton of money
For driving on a suspended license... probably give him the electric chair.
no wonder why there's so many villains in gotham with that kind of law.
Who knew The Joker was a Republican.
Cesar Romero is greatly loved and still missed,best Joker actor ever.
You can definitely tell that Cesar Romero had such a blast playing The Joker
I can't think of a single villain who wasn't, even the "straight" villains like False-Face and 2 of the Mr. Freeze's.
I know he enjoyed going to work on the set every day
Joker in 1966: wanted for loitering
Modern joker: wanted for acts of domestic terrorism and possibly tax fraud.
even the Joker wouldn't cross the IRS.
1966 Joker - Devious clever quick witted.
Modern Joker - Braindead socialist, traitor, and puppet of the Chinese Government
Romero was great as the joker.
"Damn, he's not breaking the law right now!"

Nowadays you’d never have The Joker involved in a Batman plotline meant to teach kids to stay in school 😅
Cesar Romero is my favorite Joker.

You will be remembered as a legend.

cesar romero has always been my fav joker actor and probably always will be. hope he's doing well.
59 years old when playing as the joker when laughing hard and crazy must have been hard for cesear, but still performed excellent.

Easily the best Joker.
This was a Joker who would have been cool to hang out with.
