re: I think everybody that plays The Joker can't not do a very good job

Romero never gets enough credit.

He brought the golden age Joker to life.



And that's the thing with all of them, they played their source material well. Except Jack, Jack played Jack with a Romero vibe and danced to Prince, but that's Jack and it doesn't diminish how wonderfully mafia camp he was. Because Jack is Jack.

Animation allowed a better fusing of Joker through the ages and Mark Hamill like Cesar Romero before him and Heath Ledger after him created a definitive performance.

And don't discount John DiMaggio, we got a great Joker out of him in Under the Red Hood.
