Once again, the Bruce Timm animated machine kicks out another winner – at least, as far as the fans are concerned. Mark Hamill was the voice of the Joker from day one and he blended a fair balance between Romero and Nicholson to create the ultimate portrayl of the Joker.
And within it all, he was able to give the Joker a new voice. He didn’t sound like the Grinch or Lex Luthor or some sneering villain on Superfriends, no – this joker has an accent that you can’t quite place. In fact, if you dwell on it too long you might think it’s British – only to find yourself later saying “No…what was I thinking?”
But if you try to imitate it you’ll no doubt speak Brit at some point or another. The point is, the Joker is just as mysterious here as he is in the Dark Knight. His antics are just as over the top as Romero and he’s just as sinister as Nicholson. Hamill is on the record for being the only voice performer on the shows to stand when he gave his performance:
“There was just something about this guy that he had to have a lot of energy. And I practice too. I sit in traffic on the freeway and work on the laugh. People stuck in cars next to me would see and hear me laughing like the Joker and get a little creeped out.”
Hamill also went as far as to make the faces of the Joker in the voice booth as to match the tone he was aiming for. He did so well a job, in face, that producers set up cameras to record him while he was performing the voice tracks and then gave the footage to the animators and had them copy his facial reactions and body gestures for the scenes.
So when you see the performance, it’s almost like the pre-motion capture days. A testament to Hamill’s Joker is his constant return. He was just one of the greatest to ever lend himself to the character and nailed the performance so well that it transcended the show and become a force of it’s own. Such a powerful a force that it was shut down by jealous rivals…
