You can't spell Mark Hamill without arkham.

Holy shit

Holy shit is right!

Woah! Mind blown!

[@ShaunKeefe]

Whoa, cant unsee this!

[@ras902]

holy fuck

[@Charlezard.]

"The Joker is too high profile. I can't do it, because everyone has an idea of how The Joker should sound." "But now that idea is You." What a badass, honorable thing to hear. when you set the standard, and a high one, for a huge fandom.

[@victor4782]

+Charlezard "Well...."I love how he looks so humble at first then smiles sweetly. Taking the complement for all its worth.

[@hassaanmirza4628]

+Charlezard He's also so humble after the monologue, smiling and immediately mouthing "Paul Dini wrote that".

[@rhey81]

+Charlezard Well executed compliment without coming off like a kiss-ass

[@Theomite]

+Charlezard Truer words...rarely spoken.

[@richardbarth918]

Heath ledger was so amazing, so brilliant, so revolutionary but mark is just so classic. When i read joker in the comics the voice is always marks. He is so brilliant in such a archetypal way.

[@samvimes9510]

I love how 20 years later he's still so enthusiastic about the role.

[@XIntoxicationalX]

I like how the older he gets, the more raspy and worn his joker voice is, it ages like fine wine to me

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

Coz joker's character has so many iterations in movies and videogames

[@samalander87]

You do know he is still playing the character right

[@CREEDO.]

his life is only successful for 2 reasons, so ofc he'd be

[@nickhalden9220]

Well after starwars that was the only other real acting gig he had

[@Moviefan2k4]

Mark Hamill's version of the Joker is pure genius all the way; I remember being completely shocked as a kid, to learn that "Luke Skywalker" was the Clown Prince of Crime.

[@odiemodie1]

That what makes him very likable and popular, he knows what the fans want... And he does it so well... Mark Hamill is thee best!

[@LPSPurplePaws]

its awesome how most celebs want to be low profile and aren't into obsessed fans but Mark is always being funny and talking and everything

[@lizzam]

Well, this is more fun than being asked to do the "NOOOOOOO" scene again and again.

[@Pseudowolf]

I think that's because he is as much of a fanboy as his fans are, so he gets where they are coming from. Love that man.

[@mikeykean3805]

when you realize that moment where Luke is actually more psychotic than Darth Sidious

[@sinistertwister686]

Ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the good laugh!

[@StarCadet]

Not just the voice, but Mark Hamill's portrayal is the definitive portrayal. He balanced him perfectly between dangerous and whimsical. Jack Nicholson was too whimsical and Heath Ledger was too dangerous.

[@eddierey5202]

William Yount well said sir!

[@Charizarzar]

William Yount I don't think either of them were "too" anything to be honest. They fit the universe they were in. It's mostly about which one was your favourite.

[@Zerath0]

Charizarzar You my friend, speak the truth.

[@Ovegrow120]

Charizarzar i was actually quite surprised at how much i liked john dimaggio, it´s just the one "movie" but i still think he gets overlooked a little bit sometimes. but i have to agree with your statement, all 3 of them are/were incredible (in fact im quite sure that ledger went a little bit too deep down the rabbit hole). some shoes to fill for leto, i just hope its better than what i´ve already heard^^ that kind of sounds like the joker i do and personally i expect better XD

[@bigbama3797]

Charizarzar yep

[@1983Corolla]

Mark Hamill is incredible when you watch him voice act. The facial expressions, the presence he creates.

[@akashinigami9284]

+Stefano Pavone hey, in what anime did he dub/voice act?

[@FingerinUrDaughter]

this is how every voice actor whos not shit looks when doing voices. facial expression is a huge part of the voices you make, as well as actually being INTO the acting.

[@Savage--]

It's part of the reason its a tragedy he hasn't played an older joker in a movie. Not bashing Nicholson or Ledger's performances, I just would have liked to see Mark pull it off live-action.

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

But the facial expressions are irrelevant when he's a voice actor.

[@joshhaney9769]

@@Savage-- live action Batman Beyond him as Joker. Kevin Conroy as old man Wayne.

[@MannulusPallidus]

In a tragic plot twist, Luke Skywalker's long isolation has driven him mad, and Mark Hamill plays the entire role from Star Wars VIII on in character as the Joker.

[@JerBuster77]

Both Mark Hamill AND Heath Ledger were iconic as the Joker. Hamill for portraying him as a funny lunatic, while Ledger portrayed a more sinister (and dark) version comic book fans have known for years. No need to hate on either because each actor did Joker great.

[@TheAwesome45]

***** Hamill's was an insane psychopath. Just play the Arkham series he was chilling.

[@JerBuster77]

Awesome 45 True, he was evil in the Arkham games, but this is more of a comparison of what made Hamill famous in the DC cartoons. Hamill will always be remembered for his role in the Batman cartoon. More so than the videogames.

[@jonvthvnx5729]

+Toprak Yetkin İçhedefler why are y'all comparing voice actors to physical actors? It makes more sense to compare mark hamill to troy baker or john DiMaggio. But since you are, you can't say Heath was better than mark. Mark created a certain voice for the joker that everybody thinks of when reading the comics. He gave the joker life. But Heath is definitely my favorite physical actor that portrayed him.

[@holdmyhandtv]

When I found out as a kid that Mark Hamill was the Joker, I then understood that he was much more than a guy on a screen and a true thespian. Age or no, with his voice he brought drama to a show that wanted drama and to entertain children, but his voice and his passion truly brought in more. Only as an adult can I see the difference between Luke and the Joker. As a kid I would never have believed, even if I knew it were true. This is the difference between a actor (Hamill), super star, and a star. Hamill is an actor, and truly one that has done his duty for those who wish to be entertained.

[@Hanneth]

holdmyhandtv In 1996 when Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom was coming out, he was interviewed and it was mentioned that he had voiced over 200 cartoon characters at that time. On IMDB it lists him as 267 credits. I agree, this guys has certainly entertained us.

[@margaretseddon4653]

[@Aldrius]

Dini is such a good writer. He has such a great understanding of the Joker. I mean who puts words like gunsel in a kid's cartoon. Like this is such a perfect blend of comedic, crazy and downright scary. Hamill performs it beautifully of course.

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

He should have been cast in "The Dark Knight". I've known for years he was the voice behind the Joker on the animated series, but it's one thing to know someone's the voice actor of an animated character and another to actually picture them physically in the roll. Without the make-up on he still becomes Joker not only through his voice but his expression and actions.

[@kriskross8908]

I have all the respect in the world for Mark Hamill for coming up with this voice. I'm sincerely glad he was able to end up making a name for himself in the industry after all, because he got a bum rap in Star Wars. I think most people forget that he was the hottest new up and coming actor when Star Wars came out. He gave up a role on a TV show that was supposed to catapult him into the spotlight in order to do the Star Wars movies, and then ended up overshadowed by Harrison Ford. Good for him that he found his place, after all, and with an outstanding voice for the best damn character--hero or villain--in the DC Universe.

[@Darkstar263]

That eulogy scene was one of my favourite performances of his in the show. Awesome to see him perform it.

[@twitch6969S]

I never realized how good a voice actor Mark is? In Star Wars his acting wasn't of this quality, which is a shame because he could have gone on to be fucking huge rather than for the most part being left by the way side. I can't wait to see how he has evolved in SW VII because he has clearly grown into a great actor

[@LordDangerify]

He's actually quite famous is the voice acting community, I believe.

[@Whatsabird]

Did you wish you waited

[@Phlebas]

I like Mark Hamill's Joker. I also liked Jack Nicholson's, Heath Ledger's, and John DiMaggio's. All of them managed to pull of that sort of sociopathic clown vibe, as far as I'm concerned.

[@KazeAizen]

Since he retired from the Joker I think DiMaggio should be the new one ever since his turn during The Red Hood.

[@Phlebas]

KazeAizen I wouldn't mind seeing him reprise the role either, but as you might have gathered from my comment, I don't think there's a definitive Joker voice, be it Hamill's or DiMaggio's. I actually kind of like the fact that the character is fairly open to interpretation when it comes to his voice and manner of speaking.

[@rayden54]

KazeAizen I vehemently dislike the one in the Red Hood.

[@OSMADO]

KazeAizen yea he was amazing as the joker... sad he never did another part again

[@AppleWoods6]

Mark's was definitely the best, but Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger were also really good.

[@j.jmarlon1417]

can the world please appreciate talent while they are here? Mr. Hamill.

[@CarboKnights]

He has well and truly nailed the character of the Joker! Such an awesome voice!

[@MundaneRaptor]

That was some bad ass acting right there... why has he never done live action joker again?

[@Magooch86]

***** Doubt it.

[@l.t.8634]

Pretty sure a big reason is because a live action Joker would require a certain build and when Hamill got the part, it was considerably after his Star Wars roles, by about 7 or 8 years. Now fast forward that to another decade or two after his Joker is already extremely well-established as the baseline, and he's long since been out of the running to play a slim and trim live action Joker. That's one of my best guesses. I fucking love this man.

[@RevanAckre]

***** He was only retired from Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, Christopher Nolan didn't feel comfortable recasting the part after Ledger's death, out of respect. Its also the reason the Joker is never really mentioned throughout The Dark Knight Rises. You can bet the Joker will be back in one of DC's future Batman movies (be that Batman vs. Superman or some other film).

[@Magooch86]

***** I know you read it somewhere, but I don't believe they'll retire the Joker from film forever. He'll be back on film in our lifetimes. He's too popular not to be.

***** Heath didn't commit suicide, he overdosed on sleeping pills his doctor gave him.

[@RoninDave]

I want that eulogy delivered in that voice by that man at my funeral (if I ever plan on dying)

[@boredXsomethingXIDK]

He's one of the greatest heroes of all time *AND* one of the greatest villains of all time. *A true legend.*

[@merchillio]

You can see him physically transform into the joker

[@magnum1165]

I really hope one day Warner Bros will release the recordings of Tim Curry's Joker voice, very curious on how his take of the character was, lot of people think he sounded like Pennywise when he did his Joker voice but I don't think that's true

[@BJGvideos]

It would be amazing

[@Phaota]

Very much so. I'd love to hear those recordings as well.

[@EVAUnit4A]

Let's be honest: like many other voice actors, Curry's characters all sound pretty much the same with little variation. ;-P

[@magnum1165]

True, but I have a feeling he changed his voice for the joker

[@joelbarraza5523]

Who knew Hamil could Luke Skywalker and the Joker. I give him a lot respect.

Mark Hamill will always be the voice of Joker to me for the rest of my life, Thank you sir.

[@Tawhguy]

i could seriously see him playing an aged joker in a movie, the voice the facial expressions, and his eyes. it'd be awesome

[@Kyuuketsuki47]

You should watch The Flash episode Tricksters. It is basically exactly that.

[@MrMrMrprofessor]

Out of the four main Jokers (Romero, Nicholson, Hamill, and Ledger), Hamill tops them all. This man is wonderful!

[@JonathanToolonie]

MARKed as Joker forever

[@QuentinLars]

wow... what a range he's got... brilliant genius!!! thanks for posting this!

[@Mephiestopholes]

Thank you for uploading this!

[@dylanmadigan2643]

This makes me believe he could do a live action joker.

[@slashfanclaudianalel]

i cracked up at the end of the eulogy when he said "Now that was fun...now who's for chinese?" cuz i'm eating chinese take out! lol! for me Joker will alway be Hamill & Nicholson....thats it.

[@CrazyWilly0408]

And Heath Ledger

[@stripedrajang3571]

That's how he did it in the actual cartoon. 😊

[@lukecurran3691]

I feel they should have picked kevin michael richardson way before john dimaggio to play anything joker related. i realise richardsons joker is heavily influenced if not stolen directly from mark hamill, but as james hetfield of metallica once said, if your going to steal from somebody make sure you steal from the best

[@dxashram7954]

You mean like how KMR played the Joker in The Batman?

[@lukecurran3691]

not sure i get you sorry buddy, yeah KMR played the joker in batman. i feel his joker is heavily influenced from mark hammills joker, listening to both side by side its pretty hard to deny. Not sure what hammills reasons were for not returning to the arkham franchise, but even when i read batman comics its hammills voice i hear when the joker is talking

[@dxashram7954]

Luke Curran If I remember right, he stopped because the Joker's voice is very taxing to do for nearly 20 years.

[@ededdynedd]

Uh, hetfield didnt originate that quote dude. He was himself saying a very famous quote thats associated with stealing music from other artists. FYI. And it wuld b a lovely irony if he claimed that quote as his, because that stealing that in itself wouldve been an example of that very quote.

[@lukecurran3691]

I actually think its a mark twain quote, but im not certain about that either. Seeing as there is video evidence in the last 20 years of somebody saying it though i figured id use a reference that people would get.

[@taylorbeckett9686]

Weird how he plays probably the two most different characters. Both being on opposite sides of the spectrum.

[@TheSaneHatter]

Well, *that* was fun; who's for Chinese?

[@kiddfaz]

Hamill will always be Joker's voice, and Ledger will always be his face. If you could combine them both, you'd have the original joker from the comics reborn perfectly.

[@jerobriggs6861]

Who ever posted this, thank you. Mark Hamill is such a talented guy and to actually see him perform the Joker is a fan's dream come true.

[@andrewfrancis74]

Thanks for posting, Debbi !

[@ssorcgnuoy]

Mark Hamill is the Joker. He killed the voice! Troy Baker does an excellent job but Hamill created that voice. Respect.

[@Komix777]

Troy Baker tries way too hard. It gets ridiculous when you're listening to him.

[@RoddyHall]

If I was Mark, every time I got into an argument with someone I'd just tell them "Fuck you, I'm Luke Skywalker AND The Joker. Your argument is completely invalid". He'd win every time.

[@TravisTrixta85]

I'd have no comeback to that.

[@thenerdyginger6226]

Hes also wolverine. Dont forget about that awesomeness too.

[@OrgyAtMyPlaceNOW]

@ The Nerdy Ginger Really? Jedi, Joker, and Wolverine... That is quite the cocktail of badassery. Eat it, Indiana Jones!

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

"....But I digress."

[@seagoer118]

Thank you for posting this. This has ALWAYS been my favorite monologue of the Joker (from Batman TAS). Hamill completely captured the essence of the Joker's intellect, maniacal sense, playfulness, and insanity in his eulogy. Like many others, when I found out that Mark Hamill was the voice behind the Joker I was blown away. I have been sold ever since. To me Hamill set the bar for what it means to be the Clown Prince of Crime. Loved him even more in the Arkham Series.

[@drafgon4489]

I almost fell over laughing so hard at that eulogy, that was hilarious

[@dagdamor1]

In Episode VII, I want him to both play Master Luke Skywalker AND voice some amazingly psychotic alien so all the people in the know will bow down once again to his greatness.

[@MrBrownstone8881]

that was absolutely brilliant!!

[@markheyes287]

Absolutely LOVE Mark's Joker, it's just so perfect and the laugh is brilliant
