He wasn't a traditional Joker in the style of the rest, but I appreciate 60s Batman for being something else entirely. People weren't afraid of authority, so Batman didn't need to be scary. They all knew then that they were being ridiculous; that was the point. And Romero nailed the ridiculous side of the Joker perfectly. He's not like the others, but he's top-quality in another way.

When did TAS Joker ever do something to tell the world at large a great truth? What was Nicholson's Joker trying to prove? His reasons for making the Batman out to be the bad guy were to give himself a position of power over the people, so he could subsequently gas them all.
