Batman (1966 – 1968)
The first onscreen version of the Joker is probably one of the oddest. Cesar Romero refused to shave his moustache for the role, so he looks a bit like a respectable ballroom dancer dressed up as a clown – which, to be fair, is exactly what he was. Lurid purples and greens were used to make him look as much like the comic book character as possible. Somewhere between the original comics and Romero the definitive look of the Joker was found.
