“I’ve had a long career in this town. Hasn’t been the greatest but it’s been good and it’s been steady. And I owe a lot to this business.” - Cesar Romero 1985.
At my last job, there was a regular customer who came in to buy dog food who looked exactly like Ceasar Romero! Ironically, he always bought Cesar dog food, too!
In terms of physical appearance and performance (especially the laugh) Romero was the best joker. It would have been interesting to see what he could have done with a more serious script.
The nature of Caesar's Joker was - even more than the other cartoonish characters - much like he knew he was in a silly TV show. It's very fitting, given Joker's "super-sane", 4th-Wall-breaking awareness of being in a comic book.
When he auditioned for the role of The Joker he read the script and couldn't stop laughing. When the producers heard him laugh they hired him on the spot. They said that the laugh was perfect for The Joker.
@Good Fleetwood For context, it was actually Ross Schafer who, right after this clip said "Is that great? 81 years old". It was amusing, and cool to see he still had it. He did it better than Gorshin did the Riddler laugh in that same segment.
FUN FACT: The classic joker laugh came about when Romero was touring the wardrobe department before the series began. Romero's laugh was his initial reaction when he first saw the Joker costumes.....the producers asked Romero to use that as the famous Joker laugh....and the rest is history. BONUS: Romero had a clause in his contract that allowed him to keep his mustache as he didn't want to shave it off for the series. So in the close-up shots of Romero in a scene, you can see his mustache caked in white facepaint.
When I was in primary school (elementary school for the US) during the 90s, there was a dinner lady that looked just like Ceasar Romero's Joker. I remember seeing a random episode of Batman when flicking through the channels, and being thoroughly confused for a few seconds as to why my dinner lady was on TV.
Ceasar was more iconic than any of those other clowns. The only one who is comparable was Jack Nicholson. The other two were flat, boring portrayals and nowhere near the same league.
@@TheMpo1986 No man. He's talking about season 1 episode 1 of the 1966 Batman TV show. Batman was lookin for the Riddler and he ended up in a bar dancing with a chick doing the "Batusi" It's an iconic Batman dance
@TheMpo1986 The Simpson's actually. I remember when he said it and Bart and them thinking he was strange and they slowly back away. I don't recall much if any Adam West Batman references on Family Guy.
It's Ceasar then Heath for me when it comes to The Joker. I'm not a fan of the Tim Burton Batman movies. Joaquin Phoenix's Joker doesn't include Batman, so it hits different. Phoenix was great, though.
Cesar Romero and Heath Ledger were both the best Joker, depending on whether you wanted the tone of your project to be campy or dark. Everybody else who played the role was just embarrassing.

He just didn't do the laugh, he instantly transformed into the Joker! What a legend.
If he was 81 in 1988, he was 58 - 62 during Batman's run
Never would've guessed!
That's a good argument for Joaquin Phoenix playing an aging Joker in future movies.
He had make up on so it was difficult to tell
He'd been doing movies since 1933.

RIP Cesar Romero (February 15, 1907 - January 1, 1994), age 86
You will be remembered as a legend
Best original OG Joker
Cannot duplicate him
Classic Ceasar.😂😂😂😂
Fondest memories Watching Ceasar Romero as THE JOKER
Classic. Timelessly classic.
somehow you know that laugh from ceaser inspired mark's joker laugh

Right up there behind Gorshin's Riddler laugh for me.
Yeah, but by this time, Gorshin could no longer do the Riddler laugh quite so well, due to his heavy smoking.
And The Penguin's quacking cackle!
Great film and television actor. The perfect joker, and quite the leading man. 🎥❤️🎥
legend
My all time favorite joker bar none R.I.P. Caesar romero
The DEFINITIVE Joker! RIP Cesar!
His face was the scariest. I would be so scared. He was one of the greatest villains of all time on that classic series.
Immortal !!!
I loved him in the 1960 Rat Pack Ocean's 11.
Of all the Batman villains, Caesar Romero was my favorite, it was his laugh that made him the best. R.I.P. to a very talented actor.
The nature of Caesar's Joker was - even more than the other cartoonish characters - much like he knew he was in a silly TV show.
It's very fitting, given Joker's "super-sane", 4th-Wall-breaking awareness of being in a comic book.
Cesar Romero's moustache stayed in place even after he passed away.
He was so handsome!
Forever the crown prince of crime ;)
You mean the Clown prince of crime.
I thought it was the clown prince of crime.
Fricking awesome! Caesar is THE Joker!
He was good in the John Wayne movie in Hawaii "Donovan's Reef".
And in "Oceans 11" (1960) as "Duke Santos"
Cesar WAS The Joker...PERIOD!!! Nobody ever came before HIM!!
Mr. Romero was in so many movies - playing some big shot or gigolo. Those pictures were made better by his contribution.
The best Joker.
The best joker of them all❤
R.I.P. Best Joker ever! ❤️❤️
He was the best Joker that ever lived!
The Joker I grew up with. Legend
Absolute legend
Greatest Joker EVER... 🍺😎👍
Best Live Action Joker.
When he auditioned for the role of The Joker he read the script and couldn't stop laughing.
When the producers heard him laugh they hired him on the spot.
They said that the laugh was perfect for The Joker.
Cesar Romero was a great actor. He was fantastic as The Joker.
Best Jocker ever.
The OG Joker
Haze Gray and Underway, Chief Romero! 🇺🇸
Mr Romero seemed like such a pleasure to meet someone you would like to have tea with
Too cool
@Good Fleetwood For context, it was actually Ross Schafer who, right after this clip said "Is that great? 81 years old". It was amusing, and cool to see he still had it. He did it better than Gorshin did the Riddler laugh in that same segment.
The one and only Joker The Original🥰
R.I.P. Cesar Romero.
That's pretty awesome
I remember this version of the late show.
It was with Ross Shafer, he hosted after Joan Rivers and before Arsenio Hall took over.
That is so cool!

I don't think the audio feedback was loud enough
That’s it!
He may not be as iconic as Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix but he's always be the best Joker. RIP Cesar, you legend.
Why is he not as iconic? He was iconic for some 30 years before Nicholson's Joker.
Ceasar was more iconic than any of those other clowns. The only one who is comparable was Jack Nicholson. The other two were flat, boring portrayals and nowhere near the same league.
YAY ❤💯🤘🤘
Screw all these other jokers He was the best
The 👉🏻 REAL JOKER 👈🏻
From an era when Hollywood stars were stars. Cheers for the laughs and not shaving the moustache (just painting over it).
I think he could take Fernando Lamas in a fight.
RIP
😢
That's the real Joker. I dislike how violent the Batman franchise has become. I liked the Adam West Batman. That's "Mayor West" to Family Guy fans.
No Mayor West is Sam Elliot. He did a cover of lick it up.

Can you edit the title please? His name was Cesar (actually, César), not "Ceasar" or Caesar.
Thanks so much! It just feels more respectful to the man 😊

Jack Nicholson would have made3 a better Joker if he'd been 20-30 years younger.
@@WilliamT1964 Perhaps. But I thought Jack was, still a great Joker.

He refused to shave his trademark moustache for the Batman episodes.
He had added that as a clause in his studio contract.
