The Cesar Romero “Joker” is the best Joker of all Jokers.

Despite the campiness, he still managed to incorporate a creepy air of menace into the character.

Closest thing I can think of we have to a modern attempt is this. :rofl:

I know it’s a weird conection, but Cesar Romero in full clown makeup on the beach kind of reminds me of Baby Jane.

He also injected a touch of urbanity, which nicely balanced against menace.

This echoes the swimming contest between Beowulf and Breca. Beowulf would have won, but he had to fight off nine sea monsters, and that cost him time.
