Agreed. The joker in the Nolan's film was perfect, because we were made to believe it could happen in reality. When I think of comic book joker, I think more of a dark, twisted, psycho than than a "jokester." It's for that reason that villains such as clayface, man-bat, killer croc, (and probably mr freeze and poison ivy) wouldn't work.
