When it comes to villains and rogues against Batman, you could hold a special position in the hearts of the comic book readers. Not only has this character been able to outsmart Batman a lot of times until the very end, but the unpredictability of this character is something that brings psychopaths a whole new sense of fear.

One of the most famous and recognizable characters from Batman, Joker is unquestionably one of the most important character in the series. Not only has this character been able to take the mantle of villainy in the Batman comic series to a whole new high, but this person has been able to bring about a lot of change in how people are able to perceive Batman and all the other things that are supposedly wrong with Gotham.

Over the years, there are a lot of actors that have played the role of the Joker to the best of your abilities, making comparisons easy (or difficult!). One could honestly say that there is a startling revelation at how people tend to portray Joker in their own sense.

5. John DiMaggio

Well, this character did a voice-over for Batman in under the Red Hood. Yes, although this may seem to be something of a departure from the normal character to be played on the screen, but voice-over artists are also to be taken into consideration when making the list. We have to remember the Batman was a comic series before being turned into a full-fledged franchisee by the DC comics.

So, when people to realize about the need for characters that can play Joker, they have to remember that there are talented artists that have played the Joker in the voice-over cartoons, and they have not only been able to bring forward accolades and add a new layer to this character, but they have brought the character forward in a lot of other ways.

Building a storyline to Joker is not mean feat, hence John DiMaggio is a person that is to be reckoned with in case one is to take into account the different types of character outlays and portrayals that the Joker has gone through since the time of its inception in the television and movie theatres.

4. Caesar Romero

When Batman was on prime-time television, and would be a television series for the entire family to watch, Caesar Romero was your joker. Not only has prime-time television never seen the popularity of a cartoon character and successful transition, but Caesar Romero made it worthwhile for people to watch this series.

There were many villains of Batman; nobody would be able to match the feats of Joker, neither would they be able to match the acting talent that Caesar Romero brought to the table. Yes, this was definitely one of the light-hearted, family friendly entertainments that you would find on television, which is fit for family viewership. You realize the potency of the character when even in family drama which is relatively a watered-down version of what can be portrayed about a character, Joker still amongst the most hated villains in the Batman franchise.

So, Caesar Romero not only helped people come to the conclusion that the Joker was one of the most terrible villains and Batman, but they also realized that without Joker, Batman is not the same. There is always a character that brings the best out of the superhero, and Joker is that person in the Batman series. The television series was not too dark or gritty, rather it brought a sense of understanding amongst the people about Joker, and how the character evolve Batman into a more sensible person.
