I absolutely hate how this joker was forgotten. As a kid I grew up with the batman animated series joker Mark Hamill's iconic laugh will forever be the number one best joker but this literation of The Joker is also there in my list he is the perfect blend of psycho evil and humor. His design was absolutely perfect and his voice just sent shivers down my spine every time he would speak. The monkey style Kung Fu he uses to fight Batman constantly had my eyes glue to the screen. I just hope that this design is at least referenced or brought back in the future! Edit: Whoa over 1000 likes?! I did not expect that thank you all so much for the love!
Ikr? Mark Hamill IS the Joker but Kevin Michael Richardson’s no slouch. You can tell he just pours himself into the character with every single line and every maniacal laugh. Plus I just love how this design plays into the insanity aspect. Before this, Joker usually presented himself as almost dapper yet still mad. This one looks so monstrous in comparison and I can’t get enough of this design. Plus on the subject of those kung Fu moves, Joker would usually rely on his tools and weapons in a fight. Here? He’s got the skills AND the gadgets! I do wish they kept the straight jacket look from the first episode. Would’ve made this Joker stand out even more.
This Joker's acrobatic fighting skills like he just came out of a circus is the best logic for such a character. He actually seems dangerous in a fight.
One of the reasons I love this Batman series is because they actually make the Villains who usually rely on Henchmen actually fight Batman hand-to-hand, and not to mention how they LEGITIMATELY can kick ass, Hell even PENGUIN can go toe-to-toe with Batman and he even once had the upper hand against him before.

The crazy thing is even though this isn't as disturbing as the killing joke, unlike the killing joke, Joker actually suceeds in his goal in this version. Even though in the killing joke he puts Comishinor Gordon through hell, he is still a normal man at the end of the graphic novel. Here after this bad experience Ethan get the Joker Pudddy on him, gets suspended, and becomes clayface. Even though Ethan got better later on, Ethans time as Clayface is an example of The Joker winning.
Still my favorite Joker. Consistently written. Charming yet terrifying. Vicious but patient. The embodiment of the standard I use to measure all versions of Joker. It's very surprising who lives up to that standard and who doesn't.

This was and always will be my Joker, a genuine disturbed character. His relationship with the supporting characters is just the icing on the cake.
random crimes bit I really like ever since Dark Knight every version of Joker tries to have some "point" about the nature of man, about anarchy, about the cruel indifference of the universe, about the hypocrisy of the system, etc but this Joker? he just does shit because he finds it amusing, there's no higher motive, no warped lesson he's trying to impart, he just does stuff to have fun
This is my favourite joker! Mark Hamill is the best joker but Kevin Michael Richardson’s is an alternative to a new level. Every time he laughs I love it!
This Animated series was the first Batman series I'd ever seen when I was younger. Honestly, this is my favorite Animated Joker variant ever! He creeped me out so, so badly when I was a kid, and I just find him so cool!! This is the best-animated version of him and you can't change my mind!
Joker: Now why are you here? Because y'all done me wrong! Wigzy, you sent me to life in the loony bin. Detectives, you arrested me, shame on you. Bagley, how many times do I have to tell you, I HATE MACARONI AND CHEESE! LMFAO This incarnation of Joker is probably the most insane.
This is my favourite Joker, it kinda shows how this Joker is not that weak like in the other shows and one of his fighting skills looks like a Monkey Kung Fu like style cause he uses his feet as dexterously as his hands
And the fact that they decided to use that specific one as a glimpse into this particular Jokers backstory(and how it shaped him, with whatever we learn about him from then on) says alot.
I really like how every villain in this series have got a little more sinister and devil-ish look, making them more menacing... Especially Joker, now he actualy looks like a living clown doll and it's FREAKING AWSOME!!!
I never knew that Kevin Michael Richardson,one of my all time Favorite Actors Voiced one of my Favorite Joker and I love this Version while being Unique amongst the Rest and is much better than whatever that Batwoman Abomination was.
Kevin Micheal Richardson is like the Gary Chalk (Optimus Prime during the early 2000s just like this Mr. J funnily enough) of Joker VAs He may not be the first and most popular voice actor of an iconic character, but his interpretation carries a great new take on the voice while keeping the energy of what makes the original voice great, making them my favorite personally
He's also known for voicing tough guys from some other shows for kids, especially for voicing Bulkhead from Transformers Prime and in Transformers robots in disguise too.
This Joker is probably the most deranged I have seen it is as if he was summoned in the Berserker class in the holy grail war I hope there are some typemoon fans who get the reference
To be honest I don't care if the Jokers voice is Mark Hamills or not, I just like the way the people design the Joker differently. I would be completely nervous if he was talking to me
I loved this version of the Joker. He managed to balance menacing aspects of the character, but still make him a fun clown. His acrobatics and movements were like a wild animal, adding the unpredictability of the Joker. His design was new yet refreshing and leaned more into his psychotic nature. Lastly, his voice and laugh were on point. Kevin Michael Richardson did an amazing job and you can tell he had fun with this.
I think it's my favorite real bad guy Joker. I love lego joker in the games and lego joker in the movie, but they feel more like hardcore prankster than real bad guy. And I don't like the others because they doesn't make jokes much and more genocide for proving how bad the society is. But this Joker, he found the balance! He's funny, crazy, dangerous, care about the batman a little, isn't scared to kill but it's not his main goal and he's 100% a stoner. That's the real modern bad guy Joker!
He may not be Mark Hamill's Joker But damn I enjoy watching and listening to him and his madness I wish he'd make a comeback Even if it's in a comic I can tell Kevin Michael Richardson had alot of fun voicing this joker
You just gotta love Kevin Michael Richardson,He did an Outstanding Job voicing this underrated version of Joker and not to mention his Fighting Style got me some inspiration for one of my Sonic OCs. Man I really wish that The Batman 2004 continued.
Ok. I'm going to say it. You may agree or disagree with me, I don't give a steaming pile of Joker Fish. Screw current Joker; Screw portraying Joker as 10 steps ahead of everyone. Screw making it seem like anyone like Croc or Freeze would just go along with Joker. Screw having Joker do things to seem crazy like cutting his own face off and using it as a mask. Screw trying to add mystery to Joker and somehow making three of him exist at the same time! THIS Joker, THIS is actually intimidating!
Mark Hamill May always be number one. But Kevin is definitely a close second in my book. And it’s interesting how he didn’t have the black around his eyes in his first appearance.
That smile is fukking disturbing. I still remember when he killed the people with his venom and they smile every fukking time. That smile was absolutely creepy.
"You really think I'd send a flunky to eliminate my favorite sparring partner? I reserve that pleasure for me alone!" That's definitely a core Joker trait right there.
i like how every villain in this version of the batman was a world class fighter
Exactly like wtf the penguin is an obese midget but he was still somehow kicking Batman’s ass in this show 😹😹
The Arkham games could have had so many great boss fights if the creator had taken this show as material.

I think I read somewhere that Mark Hamill loved this portrayal because it was so unique
Speaking of the monkey style kung-fu Joker does, it makes me wonder if he took lessons or was self-taught.
This Joker has the greatest lines of any Joker ever.

They’re voiced by the same voice actor.

4:09 “Badly how many times do I have to tell you I hate MACARONI AND CHEEEEESE!!!!” That always get me 😂😂😂
You ain’t the only one!
It's Bagley, not badly for correction, since Joker was saying the name of the warden.

And they say the joker can’t fight, well this one can
