Mark Hamill is one of the most iconic Joker actors in the Batman franchise, but by now we know full well just how weird playing Joker can get for the actor involved. Case in point: Hamill was asked directly what “funny or strange” story from working on Batman: The Animated Series he could share, and as it turns out, the actor had one! The long-short of it is that no one at Warner Bros. Animation let Mark Hamill know that they were pulling in a special guest voice for Joker in one episode – and when Hamill found out, it made him wonder if he hadn’t been fired!
A BTAS sound editor once asked me “Did you get fired?” He was working on a Joker episode & knew it wasn’t me. Called my agent & turns out it was “Legends of the Dark Knight” featuring a salute to Dick Sprang’s Joker of the 50’s played by the great @MJMcKean!🃏 #truestory https://t.co/S3QrUduR4R
