Mark Hamill to voice The Joker in Arkham Asylum
Voice actor behind Animated Series Batman to do Caped Crusader.
Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, will play the voice of psychotic bad guy The Joker in upcoming Batman game Arkham Asylum, co-publisher Eidos has confirmed.
Hamill reprises his role from The Animated Series, as does Kevin Conroy, who's set to lend his vocal chords to the gruff tones of Batman himself.
Developed by London-based developer Rocksteady Studios, the brains behind 2006's PS2 and Xbox title Urban Chaos: Riot Response, Arkham Asylum features an original story plucked from the mind of Animated Series writer Paul Dini, and looks like it could be really rather good. We're promised a "Gothic, moody and extraordinarily detailed setting" and a "unique, dark and atmospheric adventure". Nice.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is due out summer next year on Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and PC.

He adds that perfect combination of lunacy, comedy and insanity...his dialogues with Conroy were legendary.

I couldn't ask for a better team up than the best Batman voice actors so far.

I imagine the fee involved would be slightly different for Jack.

So they have the Star Wars reject to frame, as Harrison Ford stole it all. (I watched the program on where Justin Lee Colins trys to bring back the orignial cast of Star Wars).
I'm quite suprised to see Mark Hamill to do the voice of the joker, as there is other people who can easily play the part. Why couldn't they have Jack Nicholson, common sense really.
