The End of Harleys Joker. Or Is It?

Anthony Misiano cosplays the Joker so well – he’s now the official Joker in the YouTube video series The Batman Chronicles. But Misiano recently announced his attendance at the upcoming massive New York Comic Con (NYCC) will be his last as The Joker…or will it? Is this a joke?

Misianos full time acting aspirations could potentially be typecast hindered by becoming a nationally recognized character.  Arnold, Jethro Bodeen and Lucille Ball are among those who fell into this rut of becoming well known characters and unable to bounce out into equally received roles.  Is this Anthony Misianos fate?

I’m sure he’s safe! David Tenant decided to terminate his Doctor Who stint for the sake of becoming typecast. William Shatner needed a little time shaking his role as Captain Kirk, eventually succeeding, and Nathan Fillion shifted from his successful Captain stint with Firefly to a completely different genre in Castle.

Misiano, a superbly talented actor since 2012 has been able to convince the internet and comic convention attendees that he is the best Joker. His skill and abilities prove he is among the group of Actors who are talented, versatile and capable to fully assimilate into other, equally impressive roles with ease.  Anthony, you can do it!

Regardless of if this is a passing fancy or a true ‘get-out-of-Dodge’ decision, Harley’s Joker is, was, and always will be an amazing cosplay by a talented actor who created a costume that affected thousands of people.

Well done and hope to see you soon on television, in the movies and hopefully not in the tabloids!
