[NEWS] Mark Hamill unlikely to voice Joker again

    Mark Hamill Explains Why He Won't Voice The Joker Again
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Mark Hamill is widely regarded as being one of the best Jokers
    of all time, as the actor has lent his voice to the Clown
    Prince of Crime for a variety of games, movies, and television
    shows. However, following the passing of Kevin Conroy, Hamill
    thinks his time as the Joker may be done.

    Speaking in an interview with Empire Magazine (via Screen
    Rant), Hamill was asked about his portrayal of the Joker and
    said that he doesn't think he'll return to the role following
    Kevin Conroy's death in 2022.

    According to Hamill, Conroy - who often portrayed Batman
    opposite Hamill's Joker - was a true partner, noting that he
    often wouldn't work on a project as the Joker unless Conroy
    was playing Batman in it.

    "They would call and say, 'They want you to do the Joker,' and
    my only question was, 'Is Kevin Batman?' If they said yes,
    I would say, 'I'm in.' We were like partners. We were like
    Laurel and Hardy. Without Kevin there, there doesn't seem to be
    a Batman for me," explained Hamill.

    Hamill and Conroy have acted opposite one another as Batman and
    Joker in a ton of different projects, most notably in the iconic
    Batman: The Animated Series, as well as the 1993 animated film
    Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, 2016's Batman: The Killing Joke,
    and in Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham series of video games.

    Conroy's last role as Batman will come in the upcoming
    Rocksteady game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
