Ranking All The Jokers: From Worst To Best

11. Kevin Michael Richardson - The Batman (2004-2008)

Every Joker
Warner Bros.

As far as creepiness goes, arguably none of the animated Jokers are as ferociously terrifying as Kevin Michael Richardson's unforgettable portrayal.

Richardson's vocal delivery is far more gravely than just about any other version, and his distinctly dirty laugh is incredibly offputting (in the best possible way, of course). Richardson's performance was so impressive it even earned him two Daytime Emmy Award nominations.

A lot of the credit does have to go to the art team, though, because The Joker's red eyes and angular teeth make him look immensely grotesque, even if some fans may understandably find the aesthetic change too radical.
