Mark Hamill Hopeful To Voice The Joker In The Killing Joke
Earlier this month it was announced that The Killing Joke, the iconic collaboration of Alan Moore and Brian Bollard, is set to be adapted into a feature length animation. Since the announcement, many have hoped that actor Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Batman’s ultimate nemesis following his performance in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000). Well, according to his Twitter feed, so is Hamill himself.
You’re not the only one w/ fingers crossed! https://t.co/PcKlgRQFaU

Comicbook.com announced that it heard: “…that a Batman animated feature, which was Joker-heavy, was being cast but that sides for The Joker himself was not being distributed. Assuming it might be The Killing Joke and that Hamill was already cast, we asked around but couldn’t find anything publishable at the time.”
As Hamill already played such a sterling super-villain last time it would seem odd not to at least consider his candidacy, especially in light of his recent guest appearance on The CW’s The Flash.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted for casting.
Are you excited for The Killing Joke on-screen? What did you make of Hamill‘s last performance? Would you like him to take up the mantle once more? Let us know in the comments!
