Troy Baker recites Joker's Killing Joke monologue - NYCC 2013

[@Donscottmusic]

Baker is a very underrated Joker. He had some big shoes to fill playing that role,and he knocked it right outta the ballpark.

[@Urchie2009]

+Don Scott Gotta agree with that. The Arkham Origin's game isn't too bad, but Baker's take on The Joker is quite possibly the best part of that whole game!

[@Donscottmusic]

I haven't played "Arkham Knight",but out of the other three,"Origins" is definitely my favorite.

[@madmackz6363]

Actually Origins has come to be my favorite of them all. Asylum and City were awesome and captured the classical essence of Batman flawlessly; but the general tone in Origins and how they reworked the characters and the world... man, I wish they separated it from the rest and made an entire trilogy out of it.

[@Donscottmusic]

(REPLY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO'VE NEVER PLAYED "ARKHAM ORIGINS") I liked the choice of villains that were used in "AO" the best. The story was great too. The only thing that was kind of a letdown for me was Black Mask actually being Joker,the whole time.

[@madmackz6363]

+Don Scott Yeah, totally. They could have introduced him some other way. Also, Firefly and Deadshot boss fights were kind of lame.

2:29 I love how Troy is a bit taken aback or embarrassed (I can't tell) by the response from the audience, but seriously, he's a great Joker!

[@Malanyr]

I always thought it was because of how much energy it requires to channel that kind of of a performance. He sits back, I think, in shock of the place he just went to nail that delivery.

@@Malanyr he’s also said performing the voice got him emotional due to his love of the Animated Series. That interview was in like 2014.

[@wikkidspork]

He told me last weekend that this was the first time he publicly did it too so he was so unbelievably nervous about doing it in front of everyone and the cameras so when it was silent the whole time he was worried that people hated it and then the applause happened and he was so relieved/ shocked

[@jesselicon328]

He doesn't nail Mark Hamill exactly, but I think it's a good thing He adds his own flair to it and it works perfectly for his younger portrayal of the Joker in the universe where Hamill plays the older version

He doesn't need to but it's close enough that it continues what came before while putting his own subtle spin on it. The cadence is perfect.

Rekettyelovag Nah, not really. He does a great job working with what Hamill did with the character and keeping that voice is important for future Joker roles. Hamill did the Joker's voice in so many different projects...it's not like a game series where someone voices a character for 2-5 games max then gets replaced (David Hayter, Snake). The voice fits the character, it always has...sure the live-action ones can differ but as far as animated/video game joker goes...this is the voice it needs.

Nobody's gonna touch Mark Hamill's work as the Joker but Troy Baker is not only an amazing Joker voice, he's an amazing voice actor. period. He sounds like what Mark Hamill's Joker would sound if he was younger and I'm so impressed with how Troy was able to capture the voice of his predecessor. In fact, I watched Assault on Arkham and I though it was Mark who voiced Joker and then I checked the credits, it was Troy all along. That's how good Baker can channel Hamill

[@vomErsten]

You only need to watch Batman: The Animated Series to hear an actual younger version of Hamill's Joker. Baker is pretty good at doing a Hamill impression, but you can still tell who is who. Baker lacks the pops in his syllables that Hamill has, and the tone and timbre of the voice are notably different with Hamill sound a wee bit more nasally.

How emotional he got at the end shows you not only what kind of a person he is, but also how seriously he takes his craft. He's one of the best for a reason... he believes in the material and commits to a character like they're as real as you and me.

Memory's so treacherous. One moment you're lost in a carnival of delights with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy floss. The next it leads you somewhere you don't want to go: somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp, ambiguous shapes of things you'd hoped were forgotten. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what reason is based upon, if we can't face them we deny reason itself. Although why not? We are not contractually tied down to rationality. There is no sanity clause. So next time you're locked in an unpleasant train of thought heading down the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember, there is always madness. Madness is the emergency exit. You can step outside and close the doors on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away forever.

The Joker - Batman: The Killing Joke Monologue Memory’s so treacherous. One moment you’re lost in a carnival of delights, with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy-floss ... The next, it leads you somewhere you don’t want to go... ...somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp, ambiguous shapes of things you’d hoped were forgotten.. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes. Like children, I suppose. HAHA. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we cannot face them, we deny reason itself! Although why not? We aren’t contractually tied down to rationality! There is no sanity clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there’s always madness! Madness is the emergency exit... You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away... FOREVER.

Ron Buzaglo same energy as those lyrics comments under music videos

[@goldengoose6950]

I didn't think I would ever say this but he recited that better than Mark Hamill in the killing Joke film. Much better

[@damianwayne8948]

Troy's voice is a gift from God. Definitely my favourite voice actor.

[@ellieadkinson3657]

I got CHILLS at the laugh! ICONIC!!!!

[@rxanify]

We all need a joker. He's right here. If they can cast vampire boy as batman, they can cast him.

[@traviswartooth]

I was here. At the end of it they handed out a bunch of merch. And i was dressed as the joker with a full foam latex prosthetic face. He personally handed me a Batarang bottle opener. One of the best days ever. Great dude

[@dylanbourgard3605]

When I played Arkham Orogins I didn't even know Hammill hadn't been the voice till I saw the credits

[@anthonyjordan2496]

Same

[@zadenhomunculus8652]

Which is funny because as soon as Batman spoke, I was like, "That's not Kevin Conroy!!"

[@RJH755]

tbh Troy Baker is my favourite portrayal of Joker, by far the best thing to come out of Arkham Origins!

[@BrettAlanActor]

Mark Hamill

[@RJH755]

brett fredeickson Not as good as Troy Baker but still great ima

[@Dude-ry2jn]

+Reuben Holland (RJH7) Hamill is literally the O.G. Joker, Baker was impersonating his voice for the game

[@TheDarkfrostElf]

^This

[@ChaoticTeen16]

My personal favourites are Mark Hamil in the Animated Series, and John DiMaggio in Under the Red Hood.

[@Scorecatron]

I swear, Troy Baker, Nolan North and Roger-Craig Smith are in everything together.

[@clydekye9600]

2:26 that laugh....that face......only thing making me feel better about him not being casted is that at least it was someone who could be even better: joaquin phoenix

[@mysticryder8508]

Troy baker is my favorite actor for a reason

[@alphatrusbensiii8381]

These voice actors are amazing man

[@remerezstrafer2930]

When he stopped laughing he covered his mouth like Joaquin Phoenix’s joker in the movie

[@MrCageCat]

While I will always prefer Hamil, I must say: Baker comes at a VERY close second.

[@torrhenstark5876]

***** So what, really? Hamill is treated as the definitive portrayal of the Joker in all media, regardless of the love for Ledger's Joker which typically comes from just the movie fans (I love him too, but I don't think he's the best). To be able to mimic him so closely is an incredible achievement and what fans wanted to see, to continue on this same Joker we're so used to hearing. In honesty, people would be complaining if he strayed from Hamill's Joker, so he can't win. Let's not forget given this is part of the Arkham series it wouldn't make sense to have a different Joker voice, but I think he's still brilliant either way.

[@Metalpazallteway]

Well this sounds like something the Joker would say. (hm hm hm hm ha ha ha ha ahaaa ha ha ha ha ha....)

[@Smasterdizzay]

The amount of times I've seen this is so bad omg I'm obsessed with it

[@burgermania87]

Possibly the best part about this is he knows he nailed it and about shocked himself.

[@RoyLevan]

Baker did so well it took me 3 ingame cutscenes to figure out it wasn’t Hamill in Origins. Then when i realised it his own persona really started to shine through

[@jcp1984again]

Jesus Christ... the final laugh is amazingly good! Phenomenal! Right there with the best villain cackles of all time! Look at his temple veins almost popping when he does that!

[@traviscummings9178]

When he begins his monologue, I close my eyes and find myself in either Arkham Asylum or Arkham City. That's how good he is

[@AJJFOUND]

This made me smile!!! I watched this 10000000000000 times

I remember hearing the news of Mark Hamill announcing that he was threw with the Joker Voice and moving on to different things. When I heard this news I quite literally almost became depressed. I'm extremely nostalgic as most nerds are and I thought that it was an end of an era. However, When I heard Bakers version of the Joker I was very well pleased.

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

Robdizzle2010 And when I heard Hamill was going to return as the the Joker in Arkham Knight in one final performance, I had an orgasm.

[@JordanSixx95]

He's also gonna be the joker in the killing joke movie coming out next year ;)

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

Robin Burnette R-R-Really? [ejaculates]

[@Robdizzle2010]

HECK YEAHH!!!! Great News!!!!!! Thanks for the updates everyone :]

[@brotherbarbatos8981]

Troy is like the young version of Hamill’s Joker.

[@wesleycolvin7158]

Now that Mark Hammil's officially retired, I hope we see more of Troy Baker's take on The Joker.

[@notsmiffy]

he was so modest when they cheered, love this guy
