They aren&#8217;t surprising because the first season of <em>Caped Crusader<\/em> featured fresh spins on established characters. Most notably, the <em>Caped Crusader<\/em> gave viewers a methodical, chilly Harley Quinn, far removed from the lovable maniac who Timm originated in <em>Batman: The Animated Series<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They aren&#8217;t worrisome because we&#8217;ve seen a lot of the Joker lately, and almost every version has been a variation of the punk psychopath that Ledger portrayed in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/the-dark-knight\/\">The Dark Knight<\/a><\/em>. From Jared Leto&#8217;s also-ran in <em>Suicide Squad<\/em> to the face-removing version that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo made in DC Comics to even Phoenix&#8217;s sad sack, the Joker exists primarily as an amoral terrorist. Even Jack Nicholson&#8217;s frustrated artist version of the Joker seems to be forgotten by modern storytellers, let alone the many versions of Joker as a prankster or criminal mastermind, who appeared in comics before any movie adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, one of those modern Joker takes came from someone heavily involved in <em>Caped Crusader<\/em>. The series is also produced by director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/matt-reeves\/\">Matt Reeves<\/a>, who gave us Barry Keoghan as a heavily-scarred Joker in a few brief scenes in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/the-batman\/\">The Batman<\/a><\/em>. Surely, <em>Caped Crusader<\/em> must follow the producer&#8217;s lead, meaning that we&#8217;ll get a variation of Keoghan&#8217;s Joker in the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Tucker assures viewers that&#8217;s not the case. &#8220;We weren&#8217;t given a mandate to match what he was doing,&#8221; Tucker said of Reeves. &#8220;He&#8217;s been very accommodating in that he understands our show is separate from what he&#8217;s doing in the movies and he gets where our influences are coming from and he understands it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Tucker says that the Joker of <em>Caped Crusader<\/em> will be from deep in the pages of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/dc\/\">DC Comics<\/a>. &#8220;For people who&#8217;ve read comics for a long, long, long, long time, it won&#8217;t be [surprising],&#8221; Tucker teased about his show&#8217;s Joker. &#8220;I think some people will recognize it and go, &#8216;Oh, I see what they&#8217;re doing.&#8217; And other people will go, &#8216;Wow, this is different.&#8217; But, I think it&#8217;s all Joker.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether fans will agree and hold this Joker in the same esteem we hold Hamill&#8217;s, we&#8217;ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Batman: Caped Crusader season 2 will stream on Prime Video. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even to this day, after Academy Award-winning turns by Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, many still consider the best Joker to be the one that Mark Hamill brought to life on Batman: The Animated Series.
