I love the way you think!
I love that the Joker can be this character of social commentary about like you said, each eras worst nightmare. The Joker is almost like this character that shows what happens when you take something not necessarily "bad" (being a little vein is fine. Being a bit of a rebel is cool. Being some fun party goer is nice) and taking it to an extreme level and seeing how those things can quickly turn bad. And how it can consume you.

Yup, that is a nice way of putting it. It reminds me of the end-game tie in where he becomes Thomas's "friend" and keeps emotionally torturing him over a number of years by doing different things to show Thomas that he is his friend.

 

[The Joker]

LOL I love it. I particularly love that Romero's one is actually in a surfing pose from that surfing episode he did. You can see the green swimming trunks on his purple pants.

 

[Micromind]

Cesar Romero wins this one !

 

[Cain]

Romero looks like he's about to do the Hulk Hogan leg drop.

 

[Boom]

Oddly enough, I find myself agreeing with Campea.

If you took the Cesar Romero Joker and gave him a more murderous edge (while maintaining his campy demeanor and personality), it'd be the scariest Joker ever.

 

[Jekecy]

Isn't that just Joker already, though? I wouldn't hold Cesar up to that pedestal. Jack was of the same vein as well.

 

[Boom]

I don't know. Romero's Joker comes across a bit more playful and mischievous than Jack's.

 

[Travesty]

I thought Campea was just talking about his look? Maybe I wasn't watching close enough yesterday?

[Boom]

He basically said if they gave Romero's Joker and razor blade and he went around cutting people's throats, it'd be the scariest Joker ever. Can't say I disagree.

Frankly, I think writers are taking things a bit too far with the character nowadays. They keep trying to push this character to such extremes that he's honestly just coming across as demented. He's not nearly as refined.

There needs to be a better balance, and the truly horrific acts need to be fewer and farther between. Otherwise they don't land as great of an impact. Would anybody be shocked by Snyder's Joker beating Jason Todd to death? I hardly think so. It'd be pretty par for the course with that particular interpretation of the character.

A playful mischievous clown that has periodic outbursts of psychotic, murderous rage is infinitely more compelling to me. It gives him more layers as a character, rather than him simply being a platform for writers to outdo each other in seeing who can make him do the most heinous things.

I don't know. Romero's Joker comes across a bit more playful and mischievous than Jack's.

Even taking into account the Prince dancing scenes, excessively shooting his boss (in absurd poses), and laughing hysterically as he's frying a guy to a crisp? "Jack acting like Jack" aside, on paper that Joker was as joyous and playful as any Joker I've encountered. Camp or otherwise.

....and dancing around after he just killed a museum full of people.

 

[Greens]

Cesar's Joker was obviously more playful because they amped up the camp to crazy levels at the time. Jack's Joker was "fun" but ultimately a lot darker in comparison.

 

[Boom]

Don't sass me or I'll put a tattoo on your forehead .

 

[The Joker]

Romero's Joker was pure camp, just like the show itself. There wasn't a single moment of darkness with the character. Because of that he was definitely the most "playful" of the three Joker actors so far because it was all he had. He couldn't get proper psycho or kill or even be darkly threatening.

 

[Travesty]

Romero's Joker was splendid, absolutely splendid.

 

[Greens]

His mustache did give him a dark edge.

Plus the show was made for little kids. In the sixties you couldn't go that broad.

Are you a fan of his Joker?

 

[The Joker]

Exactly. None of the villains could.

His mustache did give him a dark edge.

Back when the show aired people actually thought that was a deliberate campy touch they did for the show having his mustache sticking out under the make up.

 

[Greens]

Pretty funny that nobody cares about Joker having a mustache but tiny font on his forehead is a big problem.

If you watch the Adam West series on a sufficiently crappy TV the moustache melts into the rest of his face. I'll have to try that with the damaged tattoo.

 

[Boom]

Just watch Suicide Squad through an outdated pair of glasses .

I prefer my glasses rose-tinted, but thanks for the tip,
