In an interview about his role, Cesar said "Why Dozier wanted me I'll never know because I asked his wife, Ann Rutherford, Why did Bill think of me for this part? She said I don't know. He said he saw you in something, and he said, He's the one I want to play the Joker. I haven't the slightest idea what it was that he saw me in, because I had never done anything like it before."

Have you heard this one? It'll KILL you, Batman! A joke a day, keeps the gloom away!

Hi-ho couch potatoes. I'm interrupting the Toilet Bowl to bring you my very special New Year's resolution: ahem, starting tonight at midnight, I, your loving uncle Joker, do solemnly vow not to kill anyone for a whole year. Which means I'm going to have to work extra fast to bump off a few more of you today.
[laughs madly]

When Joker's through clowning with you, you wouldn't know where to find your mind!
[cackles maniacally]
2008 The Dark Knight


See, this is how crazy Batman's made Gotham! If you want order in Gotham, Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in. Oh, and every day he doesn't, people will die, starting tonight. I'm a man of my word.

[remarking on the death of Batman] He's... he's actually gone!, lets take a moment to reflect on the passing of a man who was more than just another do gooder in tights, he was the best nemesis a sociopath could ask for... okay lets do it again!
2010 Batman: Under The Red Hood


[strikes Robin with crowbar] What hurts more? A? Or B? Forehand? Or backhand? A little louder lamb chop. I think you may have a collapsed lung. That always impedes the oratory.

After being introduced over 70yrs ago, The Joker character has been the end all villain to The Batman. While the character itself has gone through changes over the years from the more comical to homicidal maniac one thing has remained constant, and that is to create chaos in Gotham City. So here's the evolutionary process that the Joker has gone through over the years in Hollywood from Movies to TV shows, live action and animated.
