Seriously, how did he not hear his voice behind him, or sew him when he turned to his right to check the painting there? I think Joker had taken one too Batarangs to the head.
What's more amazing is that he was 59-60 when the series was made! The man was truly energetic. West described how he would catnap/zone out in his chair and then spring into manic action when called by the director.
I love how the minute Batman started talking on the line, Gordon and O'Hara immediately realized what was about to happen and kept their mouths shut so they could let him do his thing
@@andrewnobody6737 This is the same episode where a few minutes later, Joker goes to Wayne manner and Alfred beats him at fencing and then traps him on a flag pole, and Joker clearly knows Alfred by name and even calls him "old pal" He knew EXACTLY who those paintings were by.
This was one of Adam West's favorite episodes. The onscreen animosity between Adam West's Batman and Cesar Romero's Joker was convincing. But in his book, Adam West said that he couldn't say enough wonderful things about Cesar Romero. Adam described Cesar as very kind, generous, and giving to others
@@dhwwiiexpert Very true. Adam really liked CR (The Joker), BM (The Penguin), JN (Catwoman), and FG (The Riddler). The only ones he really despised were Rudy Valley (Lord Ffogg) and Otto Preminger (Mr. Freeze).
Paintings: *signed by Alfred* Joker: What! These are nothing but kindergarten drawings! Batman: Naturally. Bruce, be nicer to your butler, he's trying his best.
fun fact about old phones: the reason Joker thought Batman was on the phone as well wasn't because they were in he same room, but because he WAS actually speaking over the phone. Old phones that were linked to the same apartment could be used to answer the same call and you could listen in on the conversation from the other room. I used to do this a lot as a kid at my grandpa's house since he had 2 phones and they would ring at the same time whenever someone called
Actually, it was because the two phones shared the same phone line. In my house, back when AOL and dial-up modems were still a thing, I had my own phone line in the same house just for the modem. So there were two phone lines here. If someone rang me on my phone, and you picked up the other phone in the same house to try and listen, the other phone would just be a dial tone since it was on a second line.
Two things I always loved about the Joker in this show. 1. That cackling laugh. "Ohh-hahahaha!" 2. The way his head jerked back when Batman punched him.
Such magnificent actors for the villains. The only time I cracked up more at the Joker in peril was the episode where Alfred kept having Joker going up and down the batpoles! Classic!
"Oh you can see can say that over the phone Batman! But if you were here, I would pound you into a pulp!" *Hangs Up Phone* *Batman walks out from curtain* "Start pounding Joker!" "AHHHH!" Beautiful.
@@LonePhantom756 And to their credit, Gordon and O’Hara clearly realized that (because Joker thinks Batman is on the phone in the police station, but of course he isn’t) and didn’t give it away.
Wow how The Joker has changed. In this he is afraid of Batman and has his men fight him. Now-a-days, The Joker acknowledges Batman's presence and takes a beating from him laughing
so after the commissioner hears Batman say "StArT pOuNdInG nOw JoKeR" and the Joker's awkward scream there comes the sound of skin hitting skin repeatedly and the commissioner is loving it. Let that image sink in. Batman is love. Batman is life.
2:24 Joker: "You can say that over the phone, Batman; but if I had you here, I'd pound you to a pulp." Batman: *"Start pounding, Joker!"* Joker: [screams in Society]
When your mom talks to you on the phone about having all F's on the report card and threatens you, yet you tell her that she can't do nothing about it.
Cesar Romero had an interesting life, and a very long career. ALthough he was never a leading man, he was a reliable sidekick, foil, adversary...and he played his Joker to the hilt. Sure, the series was campy, but as a six-year-old way back when, I thought it was great. And Romero was a huge part of that show being great.
To be fair... there are a million Alfreds, and who's bothered to look up the names of butlers? Do you know the first name of, say, Donald Trump's butler, or Elon Musk's? Or Zuckerberg's? Anyone like that?
Starscream: You can say that over the phone, Megatron, but if I had you here I'd pound you to a pulp! *hangs up* Megatron: Start pounding Starscream. Starscream: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
He played the joker perfectly to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten you guys did a excellent job appreciate you guys and the memories you guys rock thanks ! Joe
This Joker is more like 50's-60's style. A violent prankster. Jack Nicholson is more like the 70's-80's Joker; a mad psycho genius; a clown's personality with the heart of a villain. Heth's Joker is more of like the original Joker; dark, bizarre, and mass murderer. Personally, I like Jack's better because he plays the Joker I grew up with but it all depends on the version you like best. Dark, nutty, or psychotic.
Not counting the series Gotham or Phoenix's Joker, only because I haven't watched them, there isn't a Joker I don't like. I just like them all for different reasons. And yes, that means I do like Leto's Joker. The only thing wrong with his role was it was misplaced. He shouldn't have been in Suicide Squad. You don't put a primary character in a movie as a mere distraction. That was dumb on the Director's part (or whoever's idea it was. I'm not discounting Snyder, as he did have influence over that movie.) Frankly it would have been better to portray Harley as her own self, and then reveal at the end that she is but the Joker's tool.
Personally I'll always have a preference for the Joker to be an unhinged mobster, but I did grow up with Adam West's Batman and it will always have a special place in my heart. Right next to Batman and Robin, Brave and the Bold and episodes of Scooby-doo. Campy Batman just makes me feel good.
Caesar Romero's Joker is so underrated. Every time I watch a clip of him, I'm reminded of just how good he was. I think the goofy nature of the 60's Batman sells him a little short.
I disagree. If anything, I think he thrives on the goofy nature, letting him push the acting to on occasion be a slight bit of overacting, without it feeling out of place. He's one of the great Joker actors.
@@leothewhiteranger Absolutely he thrives on it! But that wasn't entirely what I was getting at. I meant that the goofy nature of the show from the lense of more serious modern takes on the character, sometimes sells him a bit short. People talk about the newer stuff and sometimes forget the 60's show existed.
Mmm, classic. Caesar Romero was such a great Joker. I watched the re-runs of this as a kid. I love this Joker, Hamill's Joker and Ledger's Joker since that's who I've seen and they're all great. I hate how everyone is arguing over who's the "Best" Joker. Every Joker has been great and it's unfair to compare them since they all reflect their own time periods. If you prefer Jack's Joker that's fine, but don't deride the others just because you don't like them.
Cesar Romero was great in his role as The Joker. There is one performance that I will always remember. On an episode of Chico and the Man, Romero played Chico's estranged father. If I remember correctly, it aired on the night that Freddie Prinze shot himself. Does anyone have any footage of that?
i'm not exactly a superfan of the 60s series, but the acting was excellent. sucks how a lot of people sort of overlook just how great a Joker Romero really was, ditto for West as Batman, etc. the cast would've all been great in a serious attempt at a batman flick, & they pretty much all set the template for how live-action batman characters would be portrayed in the future. like it or not, if you're even mildly observant, you can see how strongly Cesar influenced not only Jack & Mark, but Heath as well. a lot of Romero's little inflections & mannerisms have been carried on through the decades. as a side note, i have serious respect for any guy who's taken a serious "stab" (heh heh!) at playing Joker, but please don't try to compare Heath's meth-headed, lipsmacking Joker to this outright brilliance...
+JoggingOnTheMoon This series is not intending to be serious at all which is the best thing, it has the best lines ever and acting, brilliance as you said
@anthony smith Yeah, I for one wasn't impressed with Heath Ledger either... Sure, he did a good job at portraying the character he was given. A shame that he wasn't portraying the Joker... Other than the nihilism, nothing about his mannerisms or character matched any Joker depiction previous to him... A great villain, a terrible Joker...
Mark Hamill may be my go-to Joker due to that being the age I grew up in, but I just enjoy Ceasar Romaro's energy he puts into his Joker. Definitely my favourite of the West bad guys. Followed by Bookworm....because he has a fun hat.
2:46 - 2:48 I know it's too late, but as a joke to the audience and serious to the joker, I wish The Joker had said, "Hit THEM, not ME!" after one of his henchmen unknowingly opened the door on him.
I said the same thing, even though he heard batman's voice on the phone, he should have heard it from the other side of the room as well because batman wasn't talking in a low voice.
