Joker in TV and Film

 Add comments
 

 Batman has a history in the movies that dates back to the early 1940’s, but unfortunately, Joker was never considered for inclusion until 1966 when he made his debut in the small screen with BATMAN THE MOVIE (1966) and TV serial that followed (1966-1968) . This time, the Harlequin of Hate will be portrayed by a talented Hispanic actor named Cesar Romero.  His Joker characterization became iconic of his times  and was quickly transposed to the book comic media, where Joker became synonymous with his counterpart…Cesar Romero.

After the series was cancelled, Joker would not be considered for another live action for some time, but he was able to sneak into a snall nitche in television. This time he would become an animated character in children morning cartoons like in the 1968 show  BATMAN AND ROBIN BOY WONDER, but this characterization, modeled after Romero’s portrayal and influenced by the censorship the Clown suffered in the comic media, turned him into just a campy prankster instead of a dangerous murderer he was originally conceived.

It would not be until Tim Burton film BATMAN in 1989 that Joker would return to live action, reimagined this time to bring him closer to his 1940 murderous origins.  Portrayed by the very talented Jack Nicholson,  he gave a new meaning to the  phrase ‘KILL WITH A SMILE’ .  Joker was still funny, crazy, unpredictable and deadly.

Luckily, even after Joker’s death at the end of the movie, the hype the movie created didn’t stop there as WB made an animated serial based on the  Batman movies: BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES (BTAS). This time Joker will be voiced by Mark Hamill, whose name would eventually become synonymous with the Clown Prince of Crime, and his characterization would become the base for four seasons of BTAS, several animated films along with a myriad of Joker guest stars in other animated shows and the best selling video game BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM and it’s sequel BATMAN ARKHAM CITY. Other animated (and not so popular) versions would follow.

 In 2008 Joker was reinvented again in the silver screen with tremendous success by the late Heath Ledger in Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT.  This new Joker has become kind of a cult icon as a lot of fans re-discoverd the villain through this more modern and anarchist characterization.  In TV animation, Joker kept making appearances like in BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD (2008-2011 and voiced by Corey Burton) and more recently in the animated film UNDER THE RED HOOD (2010 and voiced by Joe DiMaggio)

WE Jokerholics cannot wait for the next time we will see Joker in the movies and TV, because there will be more Joker.  For now, please enjoy the small collection I have been able to gather and though far from complete, I hope it serves to give a chronological perspective to the Joker’s appearances in the audivisual media.
