Mark Hamill Confirmed As Joker For Batman: The Killing Joke

This past Comic-Con saw WB announce plans for the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie.

As the comic focuses on the Joker, who better to voice the character than veteran Joker voice actor Mark Hamill?

It turns out that is exactly what is happening as Collider is reporting Mark Hamill already recorded his voice for the film.

Hamill actually stated back at 2011 Comic-Con that he wanted to voice the character, and mostly recently teased he is voicing Joker for Batman: The Killing Joke when he tweeted, “Fingers crossed.”

Update: Kevin Conroy wants to reprise as Batman.

You’re not the only one w/ fingers crossed! https://t.co/PcKlgRQFaU
