Well, we’ve known (unofficially) for quite a while now that Batman: The Killing Joke would star two of Batman’s most famous – and animated – actors.
But it’s been confirmed that Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill WILL play Batman and the Joker in the upcoming DC Animated Movie.
But, wait! There’s more! Batman: The Animated Series’ Batgirl, Tara Strong, will voice Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Robocop/Twin Peaks star Ray Wise will voice Commissioner Gordon.
All very cool.
Hamill said: “The chance to work once again with Kevin Conroy, my favorite Batman, in what some consider the definitive origin of this iconic villain is a dream come true for me. I am beyond thrilled to return as The Joker in ‘The Killing Joke!'”
“I’ve had the great privilege of voicing Batman for more than two decades, and some of my favorite moments in the recording booth have been alongside Mark Hamill,” Conroy added.
“Mark always enables me to be a better actor. I’m thrilled that we’re both back to bring these characters to life in one of the most heralded Batman/Joker stories of all time.”
But that’s not all, Hamill has taken the cool to another level and has shared the first look at the movie’s take on Batman and Joker. So good, he shared it three times… with iconic quotes:
