I'm not so sure I blame Cesar. He honestly felt the mustache helped him in his career. According to Adam West, Cesar Romero was very professional. He was always ready with his lines, and very kind and giving to others.
There were re-enactments with all four of the main villains, plus one of Vincent Price as Egghead (apparently he once playfully threw some eggs at Adam West and started and egg fight on set!). It's a fun movie, and it's on DVD. Go order it!
omg, all the comments on his moustache. Most of the kids that watch or have watched the show never noticed it!!! As a kid I never payed attention and didn't know he never shaved until it was talked about in 1988/89 when Nicholson was cast as the Joker and it was brought up in an interview comparing them.
I remember coming home from school and watching a shit load of tv shows in the late afternoon and one of them was Batman. I was glued to the tv and when the Joker would come I always thought to myself who the actor was with the mustache.
It was not unprofessional to keep the moustache - people have to remember, the choice of regularly used villains were usually not set in stone, scripts were always kept ready for whoever happened to be in town, none of them were committed or contracted to the show (and Guest Villains were all paid a flat fee regardless of their star power). So if Cesar Romero was in town shooting, he'd get the call for an awaiting script. As these shows were slotted in amongst other projects, he'd obviously have to keep his familiar appearance for the movie he was shooting.
Also back in the 1930s and '40s actors and actresses had trademarks that audiences liked. Like Clark Gable's pencil mustache and ears. Cesar Romero's recognizable trademark was the mustache.
If he voted Republican, I'm sure his "latino" cred would go down the memory hole with you, just like how anti-Castro Cuban-Americans are never counted as the "latino vote".
No. He wasn't. Plus it was so unprofessional to refuse to shave his moustache. Your job is more important than a fucking moustache. Imagine Jared Leto refusing to cut his hair and shave his beard to play the joker? The joker hasn't a moustache. Period.
@@csquared84 He was supposedly gay, but we don't know that. I'm proud to call myself a confirmed bachelor, but I'm not gay at all. I just don't like having a wife and kids tying me down. Plus, I have no desire to be divorced or cheated on.
That laugh at the end is Adventures Of Timmy The Tooth levels of nightmare inducing especially with his eyes popping out and looking into the camera while smiling with his teeth as well as the circle transition which really gives of Timmy the tooth vibes
Actor Cesar Romero refused to shave off the mustache for the role of the Joker on the Batman TV Series (1966-1968). 20 years later, MLB Hall of Fame Pitcher Rollie Fingers was asked by the Cincinnati Reds to shave off the mustache and refused. Retired from baseball prior to the 1986 season. That was the Reds no facial hair policy at the time. There will always be mixed opinions on facial hair.
This is NOT Ceasar Romero for all you idiots out there! It is an actor called Bud Watson! Ceasar died in 1994. The above clip from Return To The Batcave was not filmed until 2003.
When we were kids. Never thought anything of his mustache. Like Batman was really Bruce etc, we just figured that was apart of his normal look, but when he went on a spree and became Joker, he just painted it to go with his look. Because he wasn't always around either and everyone would notice these guys if they went out and about like that normally. Like King Tut, but they didn't know who the joker really was.
He didn't "refuse". He actually was contractually forbidden from doing so. He was working on Mission Impossible at the time, and while they were will to let him work on the reshoots of Justice League on his off days, they wouldn't let him shave the mustache.
I have always said that. He could really push the whole 'playing card' motif harder and look like a mad king. Puffy collared coat, tights, maybe a sceptre to brain people with.. Possibly even a crown whose points bend downward to look like a jester hat.. If they ever do the zoot suit thing again though then they've gotta go with greased hair and moustache.
Yeah the old comics were very different from todays comics. Back then there was only Batman comics, simply, now theres old bat mans new bat mans, hell even bane has his own comic book now

Cesar Romero always said that he loved playing Joker
Maybe a little too much. Lol!!
Yeah but he's wasn't familiar with Batman or the joker at all
I'm not so sure I blame Cesar. He honestly felt the mustache helped him in his career. According to Adam West, Cesar Romero was very professional. He was always ready with his lines, and very kind and giving to others.
This guy has Cesar's Joker laugh nailed.
Yeah, usually likenesses of actors suck when played by someone for a tv movie, but that actor was spot-on!
I thought this guy in the video was Cesar Romero?
@@robinbrl No it's an actor name Bud Watson. He's a really good actor and very talented too.
Wow! Looks JUST like Romero's Joker! Great job.
This guy got the Joker laugh down pat.
The mustache definitely made him The Joker, Great job Cesar ; Rest In Peace my man
Yesssss he is such a lovable yet funny and comedic Joker. God bless you always Cesar Romero, God bless you.
Cesar was the gold standard for a Silver Age Era Joker. More of a goofy prankster than our modern chaotic psychopath.
You did a terrific job in this Bud. You captured both Cesar and the Joker in one scene beautifully!
César Romero, the best!!
Shit, DC's been covering up mustaches for 50 years.
😂

the flashback parts of the film were certainly it's high points. that guy looked EXACTLY like Ceasar! likewise for the guy playing West

Mike 201 I don't think I did when I was a kid, in the early 2000s I saw reruns of the show and never noticed the mustache and some of the campiness
I remember coming home from school and watching a shit load of tv shows in the late afternoon and one of them was Batman. I was glued to the tv and when the Joker would come I always thought to myself who the actor was with the mustache.
I did. It looked horrible, unprofessional and didn't look like the joker, but just like a mad man

he could have shaven his moustache for like on apparence every now and then. It's not like it doesn't grow out the same in 2 weeks

R.I.P. Ceasar Romero
Cesar had a classic Pencil Thin Mustache...Incredibly hard to maintain...Small wonder he wouldn't shave it off...Besides being his trademark...
I’m old. I remember when this aired on TV back in the day 😅
I guess it was cause of lower resolution and smaller tv screen, but as a kid watching reruns in the 80s, I never noticed the moustache
Can we take this in? In the 1960's we had a closeted Latino actor who refused to shave his mustache play the Joker on TV, and he was awesome!
If he voted Republican, I'm sure his "latino" cred would go down the memory hole with you, just like how anti-Castro Cuban-Americans are never counted as the "latino vote".
@@lakeviewviking wut

Wait, Romero was gay?

It has to be said that the moustache is much thicker here, than when he plays the joker onscreen.
"Ha-ha-ha!" 😂
That was an actor portayal of Cesar Romero; not the real Cesar Romero.
My favorite character in the series next to Julie Newmar as Catwoman.
I recorded this TV movie, on a VHS video cassette, when it first aired.
I made a copy of it on DVD.
That laugh at the end is Adventures Of Timmy The Tooth levels of nightmare inducing especially with his eyes popping out and looking into the camera while smiling with his teeth as well as the circle transition which really gives of Timmy the tooth vibes
True I did shave my beard, but they paid me!
Are you the actor that played Cesar Romero/Joker in Return to the Batcave?
@@cganimefan1267 Yes he is
Well that's good.
Inaccurate in the fact Cesar Romero wore a wig, he didn't dye his hair.
you can tell by the chin strap
It's not meant to be accurate enough to be like a documentary its more of a fictional take ya know what I mean
I never knew the man HAD a mustache on that show until I was teenager LOL!

And don't forget Mr. Burns telling Don Mattingly to shave those sideburns!
If the mustache was going to be a problem, they could have made a prosthetic to cover it.
This is NOT Ceasar Romero for all you idiots out there! It is an actor called Bud Watson!
Ceasar died in 1994.

It was not necessary to call them out as idiots.. .-.
Stay true to your principles because You can still be awesome. And Cesar Romeo proved that. 😊
It never dawned on me that he even had a mustache because I tend to watch it in the background and when I did he did trimmed it off.
His mustache wasn't THAT thick, hoo haa haa hee hee hee.
ロメロジョーカーはある意味バカ殿みたいなキャラですよね
It didn't matter for me, anyway.
The Tv quality was so low I never even notice until decades later, when I bought the DVD collection.
He´s amazing !!
Ceaser refused to remove his MUSTACHE but there was no HD TV
SO THE PICTURE TUBE HID IT WELL !
What's sorta ironic is that Mr Watson here likely had to shave his beard off to play a guy who wouldn't shave off his mustache. Hmmm.
funny thing is this actor who they had for this TV movie right here looks amazingly like Cesar Romero.
When we were kids. Never thought anything of his mustache. Like Batman was really Bruce etc, we just figured that was apart of his normal look, but when he went on a spree and became Joker, he just painted it to go with his look.

ERB joker vs pennywise brought me here
Cesar refused to shave the mustache from the beginning. Did not stop him.
Dear fellow commenters, that is not Cesar Romero.
Spot on like cesar
Mustache!?! What at was the cirtus thrown at his bare buttocks?!
The 1966 Batman show was exactly what the comics were in the 1960's. If not for the popularity of the show, the comic was going to be cancelled!
They could've just painted the mustache green
Huh, I guess that Henry Cavill actually had precedent for refusing to shave his mustache
He didn't "refuse". He actually was contractually forbidden from doing so. He was working on Mission Impossible at the time, and while they were will to let him work on the reshoots of Justice League on his off days, they wouldn't let him shave the mustache.
I'd love to see the next Joker sporting a full beard
Read Kevin Smith's Batman comic Cacophony.
I have always said that. He could really push the whole 'playing card' motif harder and look like a mad king. Puffy collared coat, tights, maybe a sceptre to brain people with.. Possibly even a crown whose points bend downward to look like a jester hat..
If they ever do the zoot suit thing again though then they've gotta go with greased hair and moustache.
Woooohohohohahaha! Woooohohohohahaha! Woooohohohohahaha!
LOVE that Joker
Just keep pressing button 9 every second.
Very impressive
Yeah the old comics were very different from todays comics. Back then there was only Batman comics, simply, now theres old bat mans new bat mans, hell even bane has his own comic book now
true, i'd read the same thing.
WooooHahahahaha!!!! Wooohohohahahaha!!!!
This actor was really good but not like Cesar Romero he nailed his part as joker rip
Why didn't they just give The Joker a green mustache? I mean it's not like they were trying to stay true to the comic book of anything.
he does look like cesar as the joker but he needs to work on that laugh
I was thinking that they would have whited out the mustache before putting the white make-up on....
49 seconds of your life you can never get back
@RichYan33 In fact they were very close to the comics from that time.
Cesar Romero el mejor wason
Not even close to Cesar's laugh
yep
i do
Who is supposte to be the man who ceasar tale to? Adam West?
Yes he is portraying Adam West
www.imdb.com/title/tt0321359/ has entire cast
0:42
wait a sec..thats not Cesar?
He's passed away in 1994
that was scary for all the wrong reasons
что за хуйню я сейчас посмотрел и почему спустя 13 лет она у меня в рекомендациях
