We have Jack's maniacal thug from 1989, we have Heath Ledger's psychopathic anarchist from 2008, we even have Mark Hamill's digital doppleganger from the video games of Arkham. That leaves only one. The one I grew up with.
The O.G. Clown Prince of Crime: Cesar Romero
He was the oldest Joker to date (he was 59 when the TV show was on). He was also a true pimp (Romero never married but made frequent appearances at Hollywood events escorting otherwise unattached actresses such as Joan Crawford, Linda Darnell, Barbara Stanwyck, Lucille Ball, Ann Sheridan, Jane Wyman, or Ginger Rogers, via Wikipedia). He had enough clout that he refused to shave his moustache. So the makeup department just smeared the white makeup directly over it.
They even gave him a nod in the 2008 Bat-flick.
