Joker is a good villain because he's crazy without being stupid, so he's a formidable nare-do-well that can stay true to his archetype without having to justify his actions with contrived rationals.
However, Kefka > Joker
The difference between them is that Kefka became the ultimate single power in the world, capable of fulfilling his desire of causing hysteria, destruction, and oppression of order on a global scale. But, for the Batman mythology, Joker might be as good as it gets. As for the way Joker is designed for this new movie, again the direction is good, but it looks like they're still working with antiquated tools of make-up and prosthetics. I hope that's not the final design, because it looks half-assed when you realize that they could also give him a CGI overlay for a fully inhuman appearance. :/
