2. The Joker
A far cry from Heath Ledgers terrifying madman or Jack Nicholsons imposing crime boss is Cesar Romeros pink-suited Joker. That isn't to deride the actors performance as all the elements of the Joker that we are familiar with are on show. Romeros appearance is arguably the closest to the characters' classic look from the comics compared to other Jokers on screen. Like the others he also seems to just enjoy being bad, revelling in causing mischief (this Jokers mischief doesnt include, say, torturing Gothams District Attorney but, hey, this was a family show), and the Jokers laugh, that every actor who plays the character tries to get right, Romero nailed first. Overall, he may not be the layered, deadly villain we are familiar with nowadays but this Joker is a perfect foil for Adam Wests straight-laced Batman just as the character should always be. Wait, the Joker is only at number two?! Hang on to your utility belts, the worst is yet to come!
