Joker (Early Cartoons)

The Joker was a recurring villain in earlier cartoons, most prominent in the 1968 Filmation cartoon, The Adventures of Batman. Larry Storch provided the voice. These cartoons were before the primary DC Animated Universe, where Mark Hamill had his most iconic animated role.

Storch reprised his role for two crossover episodes of the 1972 series, The New Scooby-Doo Movies. He teams up with the Penguin in both episodes and causes trouble for Batman, Robin, and the Mystery Inc. team.

The Joker made 5 appearances in the 1977 Filmation cartoon, The New Adventures of Batman. The late Lennie Weinrib provided the voice.

He had an appearance in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians in the episode, The Wild Cards. He was voiced by Frank Welker. This episode had a version of the Royal Flush Gang. Ace, the leader of the group, was actually the Joker in disguise assisting Darkseid in his latest plot. Batman figured this out when he noticed the Joker's house of cards fortress was missing his own namesake card.
