Joker is Obsessed With One Rotten Day | The Batman (2004)

The Joker is Batman’s greatest foe—but what happens when the iconic villain is reimagined for a new era? In 2004’s The Batman, we got one of the most unique versions of the Clown Prince of Crime: chaotic, primal, and unlike any Joker before him.

In this video, I talk about the character design, voice acting brilliance of Kevin Michael Richardson, and the Joker’s evolution throughout The Batman series. From his jagged grin and wild antics to his chilling attempts to corrupt Gotham’s best, this Joker is a fascinating mix of 1950s absurdity and modern psychosis.

We’ll explore:
The Joker’s distinct visual transformation, from straightjackets to a classic purple suit.
His twisted ideology about “one rough day” and its roots in The Killing Joke.
How he influenced characters like Ethan Bennett/Clayface, Punch and Judy, and Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
The absurd gadgets, dark humour, and psychological depth that set this Joker apart.

Whether you're a fan of The Batman or just curious about how the Joker’s madness manifests in different iterations, this video has everything you need to know about this iconic version of the villain.
