Mark Hamill Would Still Love To Be In The Killing Joke

But when it comes to animation, Mark Hamill is the undisputed king, providing an iconic voice and performance of the Joker starting with the seminal Batman the Animated series and going on for various series & projects until he retired from the role in 2011 (though he has still done the role at least once since then). There was thing in particular Mark Hamill stated he would come back for.

So hopefully everybody is on board with this because while there have been some perfectly decent voice actors who have donned the role of Joker, nobody has defined it like Mark Hamill. The Killing Joke animated feature is slated for release sometime next year, hopefully we’ll hear casting news on that soon.
