Mark Hamill has revealed it was Michael Keaton's controversial appointment that led him to audition for the Joker in 'Batman: The Animated Series.'
Mark Hamill has revealed he took on the voice role of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series after Tim Burton cast Michael Keaton as Batman. As MovieWeb reported, while speaking with WIRED, the Star Wars legend only took on the role after the controversy surrounding Keaton’s appointment, admitting he didn’t think he would get the job.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the interview, Hamill explained that he was more confident going into the audition than when he actually got the part. “When I went in [for the Joker role], I thought, ‘You think they’re gonna hire Luke Skywalker to play the Joker? The fans will lose their minds!’” Hamill said, fearing his well-known Star Wars role would limit his future roles. However, it was this fear of possible rejection that boosted his confidence.
Will Hamill Voice the Joker Again? Despite voicing the Joker in several Batman productions, including for eighty-five episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, and admitting it is one of his favourite roles, Hamill does not believe he will ever reprise the character. "It's really one of my favorite characters to play, because he's insane, and because he's insane, he's never boring.
