SDCC: Mark Hamill to voice Joker in DC Universe Online photo

It seems that these days Mark Hamill is just as known for voicing The Joker as he is for his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. So who else would Sony Online Entertainment tap to voice the villain in its upcoming DC Universe Online for PlayStation 3 and PC?

SOE has confirmed that Hamill will lend his pipes to the game, going face-to-face with Kevin Conroy as Batman. Conroy basically is Batman, having voice the Dark Knight in Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and more.

The voice over nergasms don't stop there: Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Chuck) will voice Superman; James Marsters (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer) will voice Lex Luthor; Gina Torres (Firefly) is Wonder Woman; and Michelle Forbes (Battlestar Galactica, True Blood) will provide vocals for Circe.

DC Universe Online is out on November 2; beta registration is open now.

@Jnr:

Yeah, not only will this come out before AA2, but he recorded his lines for this a good while back. He only just started recording for AA2 a little while ago, so his comment regarding AA2 being his last stint as the Joker is, sadly, very sadly, still panning out to be true.

Interesting that Adam Baldwin is Supes - I think in the last JLA movie it was David Boreanez.

That said - Adam Baldwin should be a goddamn national treasure for his role in Chuck.

Kevin Conroy should dub over Christian Bale's voice in the Batman films.

I'm not joking.

<3 Mark Hamill's Joker. I still remember how awesome it was to find out that mother fucking Luke Skywalker voiced the Joker way back in the 90s. Still my favorite :)

Glad to hear it. Whenever I hear anyone else cast as Batman, or The Joker it just doesn't sound right.

I wish I could get an INDEPTH preview of this shit, all I get are screens or some premade trailer. I want to see some long term gameplay, along with how you will be able to play this on PS3 aka MS/KB.

Looks like we won't get AA2 until after this then. I really wish he didn't retire the voice... It seems he's going out of his way just not to be tight cast and fans are suffering for it.

Guys, he said he wouldn't be portraying the Joker in another Arkham Asylum game. He never said explicitly that he would never take on the role again in any form.

Don't know about the other two, but Adam Baldwin and James Marsters did Superman and Lex Luthor in the DC Animated Movie Superman: Doomsday.

I wouldn't have chosen them to reprise the roles as out of all the voices who have played these characters, I would've gone with the Justice League series cast. They were perfect.
