However, due to the show’s campy and child-friendly nature, Romero’s Joker acts more like a silly prankster looking for a laugh, with no desire to kill people or create havoc, which doesn’t quite hold up in the age of modern comic book stories. He even refused to shave his mustache to play the character, and it is clearly visible despite his white makeup. Unlike his successors, who went full-method to play the Joker, Romero never took his character too seriously and just enjoyed himself as the Joker would. Character actor Cesar Romero was the first person to play the Joker in live-action with his role in 1966’s Batman, and his character ate up the wackiness of his comic book counterpart.
