The Joker has been portrayed by Cesar Romero in the 1966–1968 Batman television series and the 1966 Batman film; Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman; Heath Ledger in the 2008 film The Dark Knight; Jared Leto in the 2016 film Suicide Squad and the 2021 director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League; Cameron Monaghan in the Fox series Gotham; Joaquin Phoenix in the 2019 film Joker; and Barry Keoghan in the 2022 film The Batman.

- The Joker makes non-speaking cameo appearances in Adventures of Superman.
- The Joker appears in Batman (1966), portrayed by Cesar Romero. During production of the series, Romero refused to shave his moustache, which remained visible underneath his facial makeup.[5] This version is based on his 1960s comic book portrayal as an elaborate prankster who wields harmless weapons and Vaudeville-esque humor in his crimes. Additionally, despite his numerous attempts to kill Batman and Robin, he is not homicidal like his comic book incarnation.[6]

- The Joker's mythology is explored in Gotham via twin brothers Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska, both portrayed by Cameron Monaghan.[9] [10] [11] Believing that the Joker should not precede Batman, showrunner Bruno Heller initially did not want to use the character,[12] but later decided to "scratch the surface" of his origin because "this is America — nobody wants to wait."[13] Appearing in the first season, Jerome is the mentally unhinged son of a nymphomaniac circus performer. Despite being killed at the start of the second season, he becomes a martyr for various Gothamites.[14] While Monaghan was not comfortable drawing from the previous live-action actors who had played the Joker, he took influence from Mark Hamill in his performance as well as various comic books featuring the character.[15] In the fourth and fifth seasons, Jeremiah was introduced, with the intention that he would represent different characteristics of the Joker. While it was never confirmed whether he would go on to become the Joker during the series,[16] the DC FanDome documentary The Joker: Put on a Happy Face included Jeremiah among the various iterations of the character adapted for film and television across his 80-year history.[17]

Before then, the latter exposed Marquis Jet (portrayed by Nick Creegan) to his joy buzzer, rendering him insane and leading to him attempting to continue the Joker's legacy in the present before he is defeated and has his sanity restored by Batwoman.

While fighting Bruce as Batman in the present, Napier suffers a facial scar from a ricocheting bullet before falling into a vat of Axis Chemicals chemical waste, which turns his skin white, hair green, and lips red. Following a botched plastic surgery operation, Napier is left with a permanent rictus grin. Driven insane by his reflection, he becomes the Joker, kills Grissom, takes over his syndicate, and goes on a crime spree to "outdo" Batman, who he feels is getting too much press, in addition to seeking revenge on him for his disfigurement.[31] Eventually, Bruce recognizes the Joker as his parents' killer and sends him falling to his death.
