I recently found out this interesting fun fact about Batman: The Animated Series: Henry Polic ii had problems with his throat when he voiced the Scarecrow in Dreams In Darkness, which is why his voice was different from how it is in Nothing To Fear and Fear Of Victory.

Mainly because my Wii U version ALWAYS crashes when I beat raj al goul. And I can’t even see the game when I play asylum on 360.
Is that weird?

The Script isn’t ready yet due to the Strikes
Caesar Romero (RIP):
A bit outdated tbh, but absolutely perfect representation of it's time. Still hilarious as shit to this day! Also, the painted over moustache is kind of wierd.
Jack Nicholson:
Almost perfect and 90% accurate to the comics, however him lusting over Vicky Vale seemed a bit out of character. But generally my view on this version if mainly positive for obvious reasons, also paved the way for Mark Hamill to portray the absolutely definitive version of the character in both animation and video game media. Him killing the Waynes made sense for the story Tim Burton was trying to tell, but honestly it shouldn't be the mainstream version. Also, I think the stretched grin was good, but. I think Jack Nicholson's facial expressions would've been just fine. I always found it wierd that he goes from a mobster to a clown because there was no build up to it, like he acts like a clown because he just looks like one? Feels a bit wierd.
Heath Ledger (RIP):
Truly iconic, however he should NOT be considered as the definitive Joker preformance. This Joker worked for the more realistic Nolanverse and when compared to the Joker from the comics, there are some similarities but they almost feel like different characters. Another gripe I have with this version is that almost any joke he makes is either too edgy or accidental and for the most part he is ironically too serious (Why so serious?), which paved the way for some of the next Jokers to be too dark or too serious and too lacking in terms of humor which isn't really Ledger's fault, but rather many writers and directors trying to create another Ledger in their versions.
Jared Leto:
Absolutely terrible. Hopefully, I don't need to explain.
Cameron Monhagan as Jerome Valeska:
My absolutely favourite Joker in live-action. He is literally like Mark Hamill's Joker brought to life, the fact that the actor grew up on the DCAU Version really shows in his preformance as Jerome. The Joker is infamous for being unpredictable, one time he can make you laugh with just a silly gag and the next he makes you horrified because he does something so horrible. Jerome certainly gives off those vibes and personally his origin story would make a perfect Joker backstory if they ever gave the character one. A freakish circus boy who grew up in the circus and due to being abused by his family, grew up with the nihilistic philosophy that morality, rules and overall life itself is one big joke and that embracing the darkest and most depraved version of yourself is the way to go. Makes too much sense for it not to be an actually valid Joker backstory. He also takes the best cues from previous Joker actors and creating his own version with Jerome. While most of the Jokers on this list were criminals who acted clownish, Jerome was truly a criminal clown, the true Clown Prince of Crime. My only problem with this version isn't the character's or the actor's fault, but rather that of Warner's and the show's writers as they didn't allow Jerome to truly and complete his evolution into the Joker. The only things he lacked was a different obsession with Bruce Wayne and obviously the colors and the name, all of that potential was wasted due to a stupid twin-brother plot twist in the show's 4th season. Also, Mark Hamill literally praised this version of the Joker on Twitter so that speaks volumes. If Jerome wasn't killed off season 4 and had the writers take him in a different direction instead of replacing him, he would've been the perfect Live-Action Joker in my eyes. But even then, he is already my favourite.
Cameron Monhagan as Jeremiah Valeska:
As usual Cameron does a good job in this role, but it is obvious that personally, he had way more fun with Jerome than Jeremiah. Hell, almost every other cast member admit that Jerome was better as the Joker. Now, many claim that Jeremiah was better because he was the genius Joker and had a different and more comic accurate obsession with Bruce Wayne and while these are valid, again there are problems with this. Just because a new character was more powerful or smarter than a previously established version, doesn't make it better. In season 4, Jeremiah was incredibly boring, hell I struggled to even call him the Joker despite having the right colors. In season 5, he did improve and in the finally he was defintiley a more accurate Joker, but at the same time, he just felt like Jerome 2.0, and that's why many people hated the idea that the Joker is Jerome's successor because the Joker is not someone's successor. He is the OG, the real deal. He doesn't take the mantle from someone because he IS the mantle. Jerome was the OG and Jeremiah was just a follow up, a pale imitation. I understand that the writers had to do something because Warner was watching them, but honestly, I think the twin-brother plot twist was completely unnecessary and stupid. Like why did you kill off the near perfect Joker and replace him with a bland copy and try to make him the perfect one? Cameron did good in this role as well, but it is obvious that Jerome was better and had way more fun with Jerome too. However, his design in season 5's Ace Chemicals episode was incredible and despite Jeremiah being one of my least favourite Joker, this design is one of my personal favourites. His finale designs is ok at best, and was better than Leto.
Joaquin Phoenix:
A unique take on the character and an incredible backstory, however he only became an earlier version of the Joker at the end of the movie however he already suffers from symptoms of something that I call Post-Ledgerism, he is dark and gritty but lacks the comical madness and chaos that the Joker is. However, Phoenix definitley earned the Oscar and did a good job in this role.
Barry Kheogan:
I don't really have any feelings on this version, but again he suffers from Post-Ledgersim and his design is was too grotesque. I love when the Joker is grotesque, but this version just takes it too far. Hopefully, the design improves in the future and as for his preformance it kind of feels wierd, he feels like a kid mimicking the Joker. Hopefully, that one improves as well in the future considering how good the Matt Reeves film was. What are your opinions, guys?
