Mark Hamill hasn’t had his last laugh as the Joker yet. While the voice actor previously said he was retiring from the villain role when his partner-in-crime Kevin Conroy (Batman) passes away in 2022, fans will hear his clown prince of crime a few more times before this year’s end. We already knew that Hamill would be returning as the Joker in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three alongside Conroy, but it’s just been announced that he’ll also be a playable character in the fighting game Multiverse.
Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy
Both Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy made their debut as their respective characters in 1992’s Batman: The Animated Series. Hamill’s first episode was “Joker’s Favor” and the rest was DC history. In addition to the classic films Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond, the actor has played roles in almost every DCAU show, such as The New Batman Adventures, Justice League and Static Shock, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: Return of the Joker.
He will even appear as the main villain in the video game Batman: Vengeance. However, after the DCAU ends, Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy will continue their war in more ways than one. These include Batman: The Killing Joke, Justice League Action, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? Like the movies.
