that statement is entirely inaccurate. the caesar romano joker (from the tv series) was funny. the joker's original appearances in the comics have him portraited as a homicidal maniac whose crimes are illogical, whimsical, and brutal. batman said something along the lines in batman #1, that the joker's logic makes sense to him alone.
the joker stayed dark and murderous throughout the 1940's. it wasn't until the 50's that he turned into a funny practical joker.
