The very first Joker episode in 66 is one of the BEST representations of Joker you're going to get from a campy episode. It's got a great balance of camp, humor, terror, drama, suspence, everything a growing boy/girl needs. Thank you, Cesar Romero for playing the Hell out of the Joker.
I remember this show first aired on January 12th, 1966. My 6th birthday. I'd had my bath, was in my pajamas and my dad told me to go get on the floor in front of the tv. I freaked out when it came on. Already being a Batman fanatic, it was the best birthday ever. Now, at 63 years old, I still can't get enough.
I can remember in 1973 when I used to watch this on television. We lived in orange county at the time. I was 4 years old. I can remember on Halloween when someone came to our door and dressed like batman. He looked just like Adam West himself. I was fantasized ànd admired him. The costume at the time was an exact replica from the series. The 70s sure had some great Halloween 🎃 costumes.
In the 70s, my friends and I loved the series. There was no merchandising in Argentina or anything like that, but my grandmother sewed me a cape and I went around the neighborhood fighting all the imaginary villains. Long live Batman and his super villains.
You gotta hand it to Mr. Romero - he was a serious dramatic actor but he went all in on playing Joker. And the fact he refused to shave off his mustache makes him that much more epic
The first Batman TV program was the one with the baseball game. I was in my late teens and turned the TV on just as Joker threw the baseball and cleared the wall on a giant spring. I remember thinking this is a bit far fetched before realising it was that new TV program from the US. Love it and been a fan ever since.
Cesar doing it to his mustache just adds to the Rollin self and how he threw myself into it. It is a joke in itself how he hit the mustache with make up so we do not have to shave it that is a joke all by itself played on Hollywood. A true master of the joker. The rest seem like his grandchildren lol
Frank Sinatra really pushed to get on Batman. William Dosier considered it but he first asked Cesar Romero to come in and to read the script. As Mr. Romero read the script he started to laugh. When William Dozier heard the laugh he knew he had found his Joker.
In one interview, and around the time Batman was in the theater in 1989, Cesar Romero said that while he admired Jack Nicholson’s overall acting, he found Nicholson’s portrayal of Joker too dark and gruesome compared to the comical Joker of the 1966 TV Series
Cesar Romero is the real Joker, the rest are pale imitations . Cesar also refused to shave his mustache, claiming that without it, he would have never claimed his stardom. He threw himself into the Joker role.😛 ( Look closely his mustache shows through the white make up.)
The late Adam West said that Mr. Romero was the consummate professional. In between scenes he would go to his chair off-set and doze off. When he was called to do his lines he knew them perfectly and there never had to be retakes. Mr. Romero was loved by everyone on the set and would show concern for the stuntmen involved in the more dangerous scenes.
Many of these were actually plots taken from comic book stories from the 50's. The show was essentially lampooning the absurdity of the Batman mags from that time, even though the show took place in the 60's.

Does anybody have suggestions for a part 2?
Anything with the Joker, he was the Greatest. Always a smile on his face and a great, uplifting laugh!
Car Woman moments... Bat Girl moments...
@@techdatamexico4530 How about the Joker's Spaceship...? Catwoman was pretty...but the Joker was a very handsome manQ
Babe the blue ox.....
@@cootriley6 he was bubbly,ebullient, effervescent....
RIP Cesar Romero (February 15, 1907 - January 1, 1994), aged 86
You will be remembered as a legend.
The REAL Joker.
Best Joker ever!!!
Never more truer words spoken your right the best joker
@@markquish8959 simply delicious😁best laugh ever🤪
He IS he Joker. The rest are second tier.
The very first Joker episode in 66 is one of the BEST representations of Joker you're going to get from a campy episode.

Thank you, Cesar Romero for playing the Hell out of the Joker.
Burgess Meredith was terrific as Penguin.
I found Cesar Romero’s Joker to be absolutely terrifying when I was a small child. I still think his version is vastly underrated.
Yes my friend I grew up with the original Batman series in 1966 I was six and I appreciated his entertainment then
Cesar Romero. You don’t need ‘s.
@@lookingforahookup WTF are you talking about?
@@milesmayhem5440
Never mind. You fixed the error
Underrated... he created the blueprint of the joker....
0:52, That laugh!🤣😂is GOLD!🤣😂
"It's my mother-in-law"; one of the best lines of the original series!
That sinister laugh is the Joker!! Rest in peace Cesar Romero you were the best😆
The great Caesar Romero was the best villain of all time No One Compares To The Legend
I'm with you!
The GOAT. Cesar was beyond Cool!
You said it!. Woo ha ha ha ha ha.
@@mackermaldrill2656 yes in my opinion they cast him perfectly he was the Joker that laugh and those facial expressions
Agree
Caesar Romero and Jack Nicholson. The two very best jokers ever. Also frank gorshin as the riddler untouchable
People can debate who is the best Joker, but I can't see Gorshin's Riddler ever being topped.
I gotta give a shout out to Heath Ledger's turn as Joker.
I say Cesar Romero and Mark Hamill. Best laughs.
The Joker and Riddler are my favorites from the Batman 1966 tv series
Surfing Joker is something I needed to see to believe, and I’m glad I did.
There was a an action figure made of him....i almost bought it but I have too much crap..lol
Best episode ever, because every female that appears in it is wearing a bathing suit with the exception of when Batgirl shows up!
Joker got robbed- He should have won!!
That’s when they jumped the shark
That laugh is absolutely demonic 🤣🤣
Cesar Romero served in the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD
So what?

@@bondone1259 I was 9.....4th grade.....
Hey I was 6 too 😁
Now I'm old 😔
Man, that laugh is epic. 😆
Romero’s maniacal cackling indicated how crazy and psychotic his Joker actually was.
Cesar Romero, grandson of José Julián Martí Pérez through his daughter Maria! For us kids of the 1960's Cesar will always be OUR Joker!
He was incredible as the Joker - totally agree.
The purple suit that Joaquin Phoenix wore as the Joker was styled after Cesar Romero's suit from this show 👍
His laugh is awesome!!💯💯💯💯 2:09 3:40
Caesar Romero is having so much fun in this role that I am surprised that he got paid at all!
Cesar Romero Best joker ever!!! Hands down 😂🙌🏽
I agree with you!
@@jacksonsmackson Me too!
Big shoes to fill for sure.
There is only one true Joker, and he is Cesar Romero 😅👍
Pure Bullshit
Thanks for the Memories🦇
Gawd that laugh is perfect
You gotta hand it to Mr. Romero - he was a serious dramatic actor but he went all in on playing Joker. And the fact he refused to shave off his mustache makes him that much more epic
Absolute BEST Joker EVAH!! Jackie N, Heath, Joaq --- all bow to the legend.
I love Caesar Romero's Joker. He was so well cast for the series. He's so good in the role.
Cesar loved playing the Joker you can tell he's having a great time and if you.look closely he's wearing his mustache under the makeup
He refused to shave for the role actually!

The first Batman TV episode featured the Riddler, not the Joker.
7:27 agreed best joker and the Riddler was awesome too.
That laugh is pure insanity!
When I was a kid I remember Batman was so popular it went from airing once a wk to twice a wk. Those were the days!
Unfortunately Batman bumped The Munsters off the air.
Batman jumped the shark before Fonzie.😄
The one and only and classic joker of all time. Cesar Romero himself in the original batman series. This brings me back to my childhood youth.
Still the best Joker.
That laugh is infectious
Love Cesar Romero, The best Joker 🃏❤️👍
Huge fan of this 60s tv show😊
There is only one true actor who played the role of "The Joker" was the late Cesar Romero.
Rest In Peace, Mr Cesar Romero.
February 15, 1907 to January 01, 1994.
Please have a nice New Years all year round. ©®

It looks like they all had such fun on this show!
The Joker's best moments, from the best Joker!
That surf scene was so cool watching joker and Batman paddle out. And Batman with his little swim trunks
Classic show… 😂💯🤘🙏
Joker and batman surfing
3:18, even Adam West couldn't hide his smirk 😄
He laughs like ace frehley of KISS!
Superb. Best of all the jokers.
Caesar Romero, hands down the best joker 👍
I loved watching these in the late 80s as a kid
He will be missed thanks Cesar Romero he did a good playing the joker way to go. Joe
I had forgotten how good Cesar Romero was at playing joker.
Nice homage to Ernie Kovacs, the well respected TV pioneer who had died 2 years earlier.
The Jocker was My favorite Villian in these series Maked me laugh back in the day 😅😅
Caesar Romero, The best Joker there will ever be
He was the best rip cesar romero
Cesar doing it to his mustache just adds to the Rollin self and how he threw myself into it.

Cesar Romero will always have the greatest DISTURBING evil laugh ever. Sorry Jack Nickolson. Even in death, Ceasar will always have you beat.
THE GREAT ACTOR CESAR ROMERO, THE REALLY, UNIQUE ""JOKER"" FOREVER.
I love watching the Joker throwing punches.
Cesar Romero’s Joker set the standard for every other Joker after him. No doubt.
Best clowned prince of crime! Romero is best joker ever!
Love that the mask Joker wears in the bank robbery scene in The Dark Knight is very similar to the one he wears in the opera scene here
Joker was like the Nolan Ryan of Prison Softball...
For me, Cesar Romero stays the best Joker of all time (TV series and movies)
Penguin,catwoman and king tut were great but The joker was top banana among master criminals.He seemed to be having so much fun.
Joker was great but so was Riddler.
@@dranzergigs66 actually they were all very good.
@@randquadrozzi1280 agreed
this such a classic show 😎
Contra todo pronóstico, este Joker es el que más miedo me da
😲
The first and the best period no more needed
6:14
Joker’s mask during the opening bank heist of Dark Knight was modeled after that mask.
Frank Sinatra really pushed to get on Batman. William Dosier considered it but he first asked Cesar Romero to come in and to read the script. As Mr. Romero read the script he started to laugh. When William Dozier heard the laugh he knew he had found his Joker.
True Masters of their craft! Only Ceasar Romero and Adam West would go into the sea in full costume! They are truly missed!
Choking the shit out of batman and laughing. 😂😂 gotta luv it.
cesar romero...classic
Cesar Romero knew how to disguise his mustache unlike Henry Cavill
The best.
Love the prison baseball game segment!
Who's On First What's On Second - Cesar Romero’s was The Real Deal !!! Home Run ⚾
I agree that's the best joker there was RIP CESAR ROMERO. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Does anyone what to come over my house eat some magic mushrooms and watch this on a big screen for 12 hours????
5:58 Cowa-BOON-ga indeed!
Less intimidating and more comical looking Joker than these days...
In one interview, and around the time Batman was in the theater in 1989, Cesar Romero said that while he admired Jack Nicholson’s overall acting, he found Nicholson’s portrayal of Joker too dark and gruesome compared to the comical Joker of the 1966 TV Series
I loved this show when I was a bout five or six years old
Thank you very much, Jackson Smackson, for uploading this interesting video so that we can see it again in the near future.

Caesar Romero was a great Joker
Simply delicious love the joker my favorite clown😁
His first movie roll was in the Thin Man 1938
I love Cesar as the joker.
I remember when Mark Hamill could laugh as long and heartily as Romero.
This Joker was legitimately scary.. until him and Batman started surfing together. That sh*t was crazy
Cesar Romero is the real Joker, the rest are pale imitations . Cesar also refused to shave his mustache, claiming that without it, he would have never claimed his stardom. He threw himself into the Joker role.😛 ( Look closely his mustache shows through the white make up.)
Heath Ledger ?
I used to go to this comic book store and found a Cesar Romero Joker statue there. Funny enough the statue had his mustache on it. I found that funny.
Yeah. They ARE PALE.
The late Adam West said that Mr. Romero was the consummate professional. In between scenes he would go to his chair off-set and doze off. When he was called to do his lines he knew them perfectly and there never had to be retakes. Mr. Romero was loved by everyone on the set and would show concern for the stuntmen involved in the more dangerous scenes.
Heath Ledger is a legend 😉🙌🏽✨️❤️🔥🤡🎈🎯
Its like watching a fever dream unfould
😂the famous saying “oh how delicious it is “😂
I just found out that Heath Ledger's joker wore the same mask as Cesar Romero did when he dressed as pagliacci.
it was something unique 1200
6:14 The Joker mask in "The Dark Knight"

Best creator of a character next to Brando's Vito Corleone.
