Mark Hamill reflects on his experience as the Joker
While Mark Hamill is obviously famous for his role as Luke Skywalker in the saga Star Warsanother of his cult characters is therefore the Joker of the series Batman. An emblematic voice that gave a very special flavor to Batman’s nemesis. During an interview with Movie Web, the actor returned to his experience on the series Batman. He was especially surprised that Fox agreed to give him the role:
At first I had my doubts. I didn’t think they were going to hire Luke Skywalker to play the Joker. I was like “the fans are going to lose their minds!” I was certain that I would not be chosen. Suddenly I felt completely relaxed. We often experience anxiety when we are casting or about to get a role. But here, I was so convinced I wasn’t going to have it, that I didn’t really care.
The actor then explained that the presence of Michael Keaton in Batman in Tim Burton’s films gave him a form of courage. He explains it Michael Keaton was an unlikely choice at the time, and that he suddenly began to believe that he too could appear in a production of Batman:
It really helped me. Michael Keaton in Batman was new, because he was a comedian. No one knew how big he would get. But it was a controversial choice at the time.
Ultimately, Mark Hamill was chosen to be the voice of the Joker in Batman the animated series. A courageous and above all very intelligent choice when you see/hear today’s excellent result! Mark Hamill invented a work that has since gone down in history. Proof with this little best-of below:
