His design in TAS was already perfect. I don't know why they decided to mess up his eyes in this one. It was such an iconic look. Glad they brought it back in Return of the Joker.
Yeah they should have left Joker's design alone. But at least they redesigned him again later on on Justice League, to look still streamlined, but adding more color back as he used to have, so there's that. Here's what I mean, what an improvement over the TNBA design: cdn.escapistmagazine.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/1264/1264916.jpg
Are you fucking kidding me? The TNBA design is boss! Looks more insane, awesome and very unique. BTAS Joker has some really retarded looking facial expressions like all the other BTAS designs. TNBA is the best!
I personally love the Joker's design in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. It really matches the concept of mixing the original design of the Joker from the original animated series, but more of the modern day look. They should have used that in The New Batman Adventures, instead of the White and Black concept for him.
what I think why joker is batmans opposite is that batman lacks a sense of humor and the joker on the other hand has such big sense of humor to the point where he cant ever be serious even when his schemes and sometimes even life are in danger and on the verge of failing.
Nothing to the Joker is sacred other than Batman, uses guns including to kill, a brutal remorseless malevolent murderer so you can add all that in. While batman solves problems its the Joker who intentionally creates problems including suffering and destruction.
johntheechidna1 He does that because in his delusional mind he choose the wrong path. Bruce Wayne saw the worst of humanity because a murderer murdered his parents except he became Batman fighting the corrupt and criminals so persons would have a reason for hope and not have to experience the harrowing pain of seeing someone they loved murdered by a remorseless criminal.
Eventually you just get used to the Joker's redesign. The old one is way better but this one, aside from the eyes, is harmless. The Joker that came after this, which almost fused this design and the original looks really cool. Just don't wuss out on talking about the redesign here. Tell us why it's like this. Maybe there was some good reason to make him look so controversial. Or at least some well intended motivation behind the design choice.
At first I didn't like his new appearance (the one here). But then I learned to love it. For one thing it made him look more threatening because he looked slightly inhuman due to his eyes. Less of a goof (but still of a goof). He looked more of a challenging opponent. Like you can't help but respect his eyes. I absolutely adore the way he looks now.
I never had a problem with the joker redesign a little touch up would make him scarier but it looks alright to me (i'm pretty sure allot of fans are going to punch me)
I'm tempted to make a re-dub of Return of the Jedi with Luke laughing maniacally as the Joker and have Vader, Palpatine, and the Rebels scared shitless.
The reason why Batman and The Joker are such a good match is because they're both absolutely insane. Difference is, Batman's ordered insanity, and Joker's disordered insanity. When the chips fall, The Joker always wants to destroy while Batman always wants to create, no matter how futile it might be.
I liked he's look better at in the first episodes of Batman: the animated series, but as long as Mark Hamill's voice is being used I love it. Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson are geniuss for inventing such a great villian and also for created the greatest comic in the history of comics!!!!
I always thought that the Joker did kill people in the Animated Series, especially with the first three seasons. Those Joker smiles sure did suggest that the victims were dead I mean they got that from the"love that Joker" scene in Burton's Batman.
It happened in the recent Batman R.I.P. storyline which ran through all the Batman comics in which he went up against the Black Glove organization which tried to drive him insane, Batman's actual death occured in Grant Morrison's 'Final Crisis' comic which had Batman battling Darksied to save the earth from being enslaved by him and his anti-life equation, Batman defeated Darksied in the end but was killed by a blast of Darksied's omega beams which reduced him to a skeleton.
I really don't know why the animators didn't put the red lips on the Joker for the re-designed series. Anyway, to tell the truth, I really had no idea that Mark Hamill was the voice of the Joker in the series many years ago since I could hardly tell it was him doing the voice until I checked online. I was pretty surprised when I found out. It made me want to watch the entire series again. It would be a great honor to meet Mark Hamill someday.
I think we can all agree on one thing. The Joker is, without a doubt, the BEST VILLIAN EVER!!! Especially Mark Hamill's Joker; best voice, personality, and look!! Once more... BEST VILLIAN EVER!!!
With the death of Bruce Wayne, Robin/Nightwing (Dick Grayson) became the new Batman and took over wearing the cowl. About the best story connected with the whole 'Death Of Batman' storyline is Neil Gaiman's 'Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?' which has been collected in hardback recently which has Batman seeing his own funeral taking place "Am I dead?" "Not yet" "Are You death?" "I don't think death is a person, Bruce."
Despite the fact that there are many other popular antagonists in the Batman franchise such as Two-Face, The Riddler, Harley-Quinn, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, etc. Batman is nothing without The Joker. The Joker is perhaps the most widely recognized Villain not only in Batman comics, but practically in all comics. Wouldn't it be interesting if Christopher Nolan had produced an animated form of The Dark Knight including Heath Ledger's perception of "The Homicidal Maniac". R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
Look. I just Love both versions of the Joker. The new version also has some of Hamill's most iconic performances as the Joker. In my opinion some of his best work. And it looked wonderful in the opening for Batman/Superman show. Idk. That's how I felt everytime the cartoon started when I was a kid.
That's the thing that's so great about TAS Joker, he's perfectly balanced as both a sinister being and a comical entity. The fact he can make people laugh as he murders or plots some other crimes just makes him even more disturbing and likable. Unlike Jack Nicolis who was evil, but not as funny, and you could hate... Mark Just did a brilliant job in doing to fantastic aspects of the character and still come away wanting to see more. The Old Adam West Joker was funny but harmless, not as good.
Actually, yes it is. Specifically, it's the episode of TAS titled "Legends of the Dark Knight" highlighting different eras of the comics through the use of Gotham children telling stories of how they thought Batman was as a framing device. That was the Dick Sprang era.
Don't Forget Jack Nicholson that is why I am stuck on the three, Nicholson, Leger, and Hamill all of them brought a unique side of the Joker to life and did a wonderful job at it.
over all i like the look of the batman animated series. from the regular BATMAN:TAS all the way up to BATMAN: BEYOND i grew up with those cartoons and I will always enjoy the animation styles.
They go so well together because Batman represents order and justice while the Joker represents chaos and anarchy. Batman is restrained to a strict moral code of ethics, while Joker is totally free to do what he wants, how he wants.
I always love Batman. Mainly for the reason that instead of the villians being grimm and creppy and the hero by insanely happy Batman is always grimm and The Joker is always happy!
The Joker does have a superpower; unless you kill him graphically onscreen, he doesn't die. He will always be brought back by the most powerful force in the DC Universe: comic book sales.
I think this Joker is the most memorable only because of how he is protrayed. He is crazy, phychotic, has this dark past yet always telling lies about his life. And then he has Harley. Harley and Joker are like the perfect pairing. I think out of all the characters, he is the most twisted. Which makes us like him even more. My opinion...... >.>
The Jokers background is shrowded in mystery, Alan Moore attempted to propose a possible backstory with him being a failed comedian who used to work at a chemical company, but even The Joker himself says in that same graphic novel that he prefers to remember things in multiple choice. The only real origin we have for Joker is The Red Hood, and the vat of chemicals. Red Hood robs a chemical plant, Batman attempts to stop him, Red Hood falls INTO the vat, and out comes a psychotic clown.
Have you heard his laugh? It's insane. No way would he sound exactly like Hamil and Nicholson, but that's the point. You're not supposed to duplicate, you're supposed to make it your own, and that's what Ledger did.
crowning moment of this version was definitely Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker. There he went from crazy fun evil guy to absolute madness and he crossed the line with Batman...
One of the reasons The Joker's one of my favorite villian s is he's only a villian because of Batman. He commits his crimes for Batman's attention. He loses interest in his crimes if Batman doesn'[t notice, which to me makes his character a lot more interesting. The Dark Knight was one of the first Batman movies that refferenced this.
Well, Joker was never meant to be a psychopath, just a really bad prankster. It's his murderous yet cheery attitude, which collides with Batman's heroic yet grim attitude.
+John Smith They failed to redesign the Joker,this crappy face makes me remember of Animaniacs(is actually equal to the animaniacs, just put the red round nose),the only word i can say about this redesign it's FAIL!!!
He wasnt vastly altered still looks mostly the same including same style suits, hair, etc. Now scarecrow he was vastly altered with 0 resemblance to the previous 2 depections in the 90s Batman cartoon.
+Bryant Langmuir For what it's worth I feel the sinister shape of the eyes worked out well. Ultimately I feel the best design was the third one from Batman Beyond and onwards. The lips were black instead of red but they were there and didn't look out of place. The eyes got their color back along with pupils but they retained the sinister shape from this redesign.
Actually they combined the qualities of the Batman Animated series Joker and the New Batman Adventures Joker and it really works better than the prior originals.
If you really anaylze the relationship between Batman and The Joker, they're really the same with what they do. Batman's psychotic in the positive sense, because he's using his fear to inflict apprehension into his enemies in the configuration of a nightmarish Bat to establish true justice. While The Joker's utilizing his own insanity to inflict grief, anguish, and chaos into others from what he perceives to be "True Justice" or Anarchism. Essentially, they're both a paradox upon the other.
The characters Batman Comics are awesome: The Joker, Two-Face, Ra's al Ghul, are complex characters and very interesting and very different issues: The Joker represents the chaos, Two Face the subverted justice, etc ... The quality of the villains determines the quality of the hero and Batman is definitely great, because behind of all that darkness, lies the great humanity that he has.
Hands down: the Joker is the best villain ever spawned. Period. Y'know, I don't think his TNAS re-design was that-that-that bad ... although, I have to say, maybe that's just because I've seen so many pictures of his re-design from The Batman lately. XP UGH! They KILLED 'im! He doesn't even look human ... -esque ... anymore! On a happier note, though, I absolutely ADORED his re-design in the Batman Beyond movie. It was so creepy, yet so slick.
They're really two (extreme) takes on that classic question, "How should we live?" Should we live like Batman, grim but resolute, orderly but sometimes unhappy, keeping by our convictions even if it might mean a worse end, to not kill because it's wrong even though not killing his villains will likely lead to more killing? Or should we live like the Joker, happy but maniacal, wild but out of control, to please and reinvent ourselves as we wish- even if it means letting the world burn?
Even if they didnt show him they could use him. like if batman was in Arkham, and all you hear is Hamill's laugh coming down the hallway, that would be awesome.
I mean The Joker has been around since the 1940s when he first appeared in Detective Comics. Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's 1980s comic 'The Killing Joke' is probably the best interpretation of the character, but certainly isn't the first. The Joker was campy through th3 50s and 60s then the 79s he went back to a darker side and then The Killing Joke finished his transformation into what he is today (Alongside the comic 'Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth)
I have to agree with you. Not just his look but his personality and motives are a bit off. This Joker was way too easy for Batman to make angry and he even got scared on several occasions, when part of Jokers insanity is that he can't get scared or intimidated. I also remember an episode where he became extremely happy to recieve a lot of money... His thought process is suppose to be better than just "get rich", he's not just some two-bit mob boss after all, he's -the Joker-!!
My sister really liked this design of the Joker. She thought that the reversed eye colors added to his inhumanity. My personally, I don't mind it but I still prefer the first design. That's not to say I hate his design here.
IMHO I think Hamil's Joker IS the Joker as he is meant to be - funny, scary, pyschotic, egotistic with flourish and flair. Nicholson's Joker was great but let's face it, it was Jack all the way in Joker makeup. Heath's Joker was also great - very dark, scary, and psychotic but without the humor
It's based on the Brave and the Bold comic, which I haven't read. However, Superman, Wonder Woman, and all the Superfriends characters except for Flash has been confirmed. Well, Green Lantern corps is in. At least, that's what Wikipedia says, even if Wiki isn't very reliable. It is mainly Batman and Robin. I'm guessing, every episode will have Batman and Robin teamed up with another hero. Not just a pair of heroes together. About Superfriends, the Batman's color will remind you of 60's Batman.
Why does everyone hate this DESIGN. Its creative and different and the best Joker design in my opinion sure the others are great. But why the hell not use him in new batman adventures? He was great I was VERY upset when they changed his design, But this design is still being used. I saw a kids comic book in 2012 and they used THIS design. Don't really see any ROTJ designs anywhere I can understand the Red lips thing, Still a great design though.
no, actually that really was an episode from TNBA it's called "Legends of he Dark Knight" but, they used another actor to specially do the voice of the 50's Joker. If you can see or download that episode complete (with the intro and outro),in the final credits appears the name of the actor that did the voice of th 50s joker in that episode.
I'm not sure about any specific cartoon that is from, but I know they used that in one of the last few episodes of The New Adventures of Batman. Legends of the Dark Knight is the name of that episode. It also has an animated sequence from Dark Knight Returns, so it's a must-see.
Yeah, they reused the Joker's animated character design from the flashback scenes of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker for his look in Justice League. Only they added in the purple gloves instead of the white gloves.
His design in TAS was already perfect. I don't know why they decided to mess up his eyes in this one. It was such an iconic look. Glad they brought it back in Return of the Joker.
Simplification?
I actually prefer his revamp design
@@Unversed333 Everyone has Different Opinions.
@@buildertherobloxian4731 I just like how they were able to get him to emote with his face. His wide eyes could be distracted at times.
@@Unversed333 Not that OG BTAS Joker's Eyes couldn't Widen.
Heath Ledger: Best live-action Joker ever
Mark Hamill: Best cartoon-animated Joker ever
For some characters such as the riddler and joker, i liked their old designs better.
Those beady eyes look stupid (they work for Scarecrow, but not him). Glad they changed that with Justice League/Batman Beyond/Static Shock.
Yeah they should have left Joker's design alone.

No.
I see
+Robert Aguilar I thought it was alright but he looked a little plain to me
I never had a problem with the joker redesign a little touch up would make him scarier but it looks alright to me (i'm pretty sure allot of fans are going to punch me)
*shields you*
this was definatly the best version of the joker
I lot of people hate of this new design, but I think this design was to emphasize more on the Joker's charisma than his clown appearance.
this makes me wish i could see some of mark hamill's recording sessions.
the Clown Prince of Crime, my favorite villain
I'm tempted to make a re-dub of Return of the Jedi with Luke laughing maniacally as the Joker and have Vader, Palpatine, and the Rebels scared shitless.
The reason why Batman and The Joker are such a good match is because they're both absolutely insane. Difference is, Batman's ordered insanity, and Joker's disordered insanity. When the chips fall, The Joker always wants to destroy while Batman always wants to create, no matter how futile it might be.
I love the Joker revamp. He looks so slick, and so evil.
I was hoping for hearing their explanation on his design change. Too bad they didn't bother.
I have always found the joker to be the scariest villain, no matter how funny they make him.
I liked he's look better at in the first episodes of Batman: the animated series, but as long as Mark Hamill's voice is being used I love it. Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson are geniuss for inventing such a great villian and also for created the greatest comic in the history of comics!!!!

Joker is one heck of a pyscho path! But you got to love the funniest and Mark Hamill playing this character.
I love how they spend this entire video just talking about the Joker himself and how awesome he is and saying NOTHING about his re-design.
I think we can all agree on one thing. The Joker is, without a doubt, the BEST VILLIAN EVER!!! Especially Mark Hamill's Joker; best voice, personality, and look!!
Once more... BEST VILLIAN EVER!!!
mark hammel needs to never die and do the joker voice forever!!
i agree, that one was a perfect blend of both designs
With the death of Bruce Wayne, Robin/Nightwing (Dick Grayson) became the new Batman and took over wearing the cowl. About the best story connected with the whole 'Death Of Batman' storyline is Neil Gaiman's
'Whatever Happened
To The Caped Crusader?'
which has been collected in hardback recently which has Batman seeing his own funeral taking place
"Am I dead?"
"Not yet"
"Are You death?"
"I don't think death is a person, Bruce."
That always makes me laugh becuase Mark Hamill is also the voice of Firelord Ozai on Avatar.

it's from an episode called "legends of the dark knight" where they do 50's batman and 80's batman and that is the animated version of 50s joker.
mark hamill and jeffrey combs did excellent jobs doing the voices of joker & scarecrow i freakin love it!
As much as I dont like his look in Season 4. I still love his personality and character. One of the best versions of the best villain ever.

I just laugh myself to death when I hear that Mark Hamill voice and laugh. He's so hilarious.
I love how the Joker is drawn, he looks some what simple, but at the same time he's looks so sinister and dark.
Joker legit looks like a playing card character in Season 4.
Don't Forget Jack Nicholson that is why I am stuck on the three, Nicholson, Leger, and Hamill all of them brought a unique side of the Joker to life and did a wonderful job at it.
indeed, Mark Hammil should be a joker in a movie sometime I think. He's perfect.

Yeah. The animators combined his Batman Animated Series look with the one in the video up top. They also used that version in Justice League.
Well, Joker was never meant to be a psychopath, just a really bad prankster.
It's his murderous yet cheery attitude, which collides with Batman's heroic yet grim attitude.
Mark was brilliant as The Joker. Probably one of his favorite roles the way Hades was a favorite role for James Woods.
I hate this redesign. They didn't even bother to give the joker red lips. This version doesn't even look like a clown.
***** In the firsts sketches has the red lips, but was even worst. Thanks that to Glen Murakami redesign.

Anti-matter and matter facing each other.
Or as Heath Ledger said... An unstoppable force meeting and unmovable object.
The Joker’s Revamp Version Is The Coolest Character Design In My Opinion
Actually they combined the qualities of the Batman Animated series Joker and the New Batman Adventures Joker and it really works better than the prior originals.
0:02 Now, Joker, if you mess up your club like that, you won't be able to hit Batman with it later!

The Joker was campy through th3 50s and 60s then the 79s he went back to a darker side and then The Killing Joke finished his transformation into what he is today (Alongside the comic 'Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth)
It was an episode of Batman where some kids where talking about him. They each had their own interpertation.
I just love that you would never guess it's the same guy who played Luke Skywalker. Some people don't believe it.
@mutalord That's actually an on going thing in the comics, they love to put him in things that should've killed him, then he somehow survives.
Cot damn, Batman caught 'em with the mean two piece LMAO!!! (0:55)
I have to agree with you. Not just his look but his personality and motives are a bit off. This Joker was way too easy for Batman to make angry and he even got scared on several occasions, when part of Jokers insanity is that he can't get scared or intimidated. I also remember an episode where he became extremely happy to recieve a lot of money... His thought process is suppose to be better than just "get rich", he's not just some two-bit mob boss after all, he's -the Joker-!!
My sister really liked this design of the Joker. She thought that the reversed eye colors added to his inhumanity. My personally, I don't mind it but I still prefer the first design. That's not to say I hate his design here.
IMHO I think Hamil's Joker IS the Joker as he is meant to be - funny, scary, pyschotic, egotistic with flourish and flair.
Nicholson's Joker was great but let's face it, it was Jack all the way in Joker makeup.
Heath's Joker was also great - very dark, scary, and psychotic but without the humor
How can people not like the reverso eyes? They’re so freaking creepy!
It's based on the Brave and the Bold comic, which I haven't read. However, Superman, Wonder Woman, and all the Superfriends characters except for Flash has been confirmed. Well, Green Lantern corps is in. At least, that's what Wikipedia says, even if Wiki isn't very reliable.
It is mainly Batman and Robin. I'm guessing, every episode will have Batman and Robin teamed up with another hero. Not just a pair of heroes together.
About Superfriends, the Batman's color will remind you of 60's Batman.
Why does everyone hate this DESIGN. Its creative and different and the best Joker design in my opinion sure the others are great. But why the hell not use him in new batman adventures? He was great I was VERY upset when they changed his design, But this design is still being used. I saw a kids comic book in 2012 and they used THIS design. Don't really see any ROTJ designs anywhere I can understand the Red lips thing, Still a great design though.
Agreed. The show was considerably watered down when WB passed the show onto the Superman team.
i like how even though the cartoon series itself couldn't have joker 100% "KILL" people but in the movies based of the cartoon he could.
Joker:I Really Have To Congratulate Myself On This One
no, actually that really was an episode from TNBA it's called "Legends of he Dark Knight" but, they used another actor to specially do the voice of the 50's Joker. If you can see or download that episode complete (with the intro and outro),in the final credits appears the name of the actor that did the voice of th 50s joker in that episode.
I'm not sure about any specific cartoon that is from, but I know they used that in one of the last few episodes of The New Adventures of Batman. Legends of the Dark Knight is the name of that episode. It also has an animated sequence from Dark Knight Returns, so it's a must-see.
Yeah, they reused the Joker's animated character design from the flashback scenes of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker for his look in Justice League. Only they added in the purple gloves instead of the white gloves.
