BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES HAD OTHER JOKERS 

A non-mark hammil voice coming out of that joker just feels weird

“Melt like a gRillEd ChesE SanDwIcH” woah xD

Imagine a parallel universe where Tim Curry actually voiced The Joker throughout BTAS and Mark Hamill tryouts were made public and people were saying how he doesn't fit the role and thank god for Curry for sticking around?

Ironically the hallucination scenes were always made extra creepy to me when it was someone aside from Mark Hamill doing the laugh. The fact that he was voiceless or had the wrong voice made him feel like a force of nature. Like a fever dream. Hamill can be terrifying in the role but there was still a comfort hearing his familiar voice that was removed in these sequences.

The reason the show didn't use already recorded tracks of Mark in small cameos is down to SAG rules. If they use his voice in an episode, he needs to be credited. And if he's credited, he needs to be paid his rate for that episode. Which, even when you have a solid budget, is just wasteful if you're literally just seeing the character for a few seconds. Thus, each time the Joker appears in a tiny cameo, one of the voice actors already appearing in the episode does the voice for the Joker, as they're already being credited. I recognized pretty early on that Kevin provided the voice of the dream-Joker in the Forgotten and found it even more poetic, as one of Bruce's fears explored in that dream is that he might become the Joker. His image and voice literally morphing into his worst enemy is a potent image,

IT FINALLY MAKES SENSE! Having this video FINALLY allowed me to put it together! I was always confused: Hamill was stated to have gotten the role because of his performance as Ferris Boyle in "Heart of Ice." But that never made sense to me, because that episode, both in terms of airdate and production date, came AFTER several Joker episodes. Now I get it! Tim Curry fully voiced the character in those episodes, Mark Hamill came in later, and after Tim was out, Mark dubbed over the old ones before the season aired! That was driving me crazy for years, thank goodness for this video. I guess sometimes you just need to hear it said outloud.

That Kevin Conroy’s joker laugh is just haunting 👻

I feel like Curry could've been great, but just wasn't given the right direction. But that's a bit of a theme for the Joker, Hamill seemed really rough around the edges during BTAS but in later iterations really owned the role. I feel like we could've seen that with Tim Curry, and I'd really like to see him have another shot at it. Hell, I could even hear him as Batman. He's got a string enough voice for it.

If it wasn't Mark I would be completely ok with Tim Curry as clown prince of crime he plays a great criminal and he plays a great clown

It’s a weird, repeat of history, where after Bill Skarsgård played Pennywise in the remake a lot of people who wanted him to be casted as the next joker but I think that’s mostly coming from the fact that a lot of people didn’t like Jared Leto’s performance is the joker

I don't think Troy Baker gets enough credit for his work as the joker.

I am glad Mark Hamill made a major impact with the Joker. Tim Curry's take is interesting but I am honestly not impressed with the performance.

RIP Kevin Conroy, Arlene Sorkin and Richard Moll:(

This is Hollywood's fault! THE JOKER! THE JOKER.

While recording over a voice that's already been animated is hard, and it requires certain skills and techniques, it isn't impossible. Dub actors do it all the time. Of course, it is more common in the rest of the world to dub american animation, but the US has dubbed it's fair share of foreign (such as japanese anime) too. Which Mark went on to do later in 2003 when he did the english voice for Muska in the dub of Castle In The Sky.

Both Mark Hamill and Tim Curry portrayed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the theater productions of AMADEUS. Tim Curry, in the London production, and Mark Hamill in the Los Angeles production. To bring The Joker full circle I would absolutely love to hear Tom Hulce portray The Joker in an animated project. His laugh as Mozart in the film version of AMADEUS was absolutely unique.

“This is Hollywood’s fault! The Joker! The Joker!”

7:12 whenever I read a comic with the Batman who laughs I hear this laugh and Kevin Conroy doing his interpretation of Mark Hamill’s joker 🃏

I’ve never once heard Michael McKean (Chuck McGill himself) voice Joker, it was surreal!

The joker gang were certainly something, I’d love to see a video on them

I feel like batman when he asked the mobius chair for the joker’s true identity

ngl i like tim curry voicing him he sounds so good and funny while voicing it

Not gonna lie i did not know this was vee infuso with the new profile

Mark Hamill "I am the joker your looking for" 😂🤣

Someone that isn’t mark hammil feels odd

Curry is a legend yet his voice just wasn't right for Saturday morning. Hamill's voice was more for cartoon.

This is Hollywood's fault. The Joker, The Joker.

Daily request for a discussion about Batman the Brave and the Bold

I knew about this and it reminds me of the buzz lightyear of Star command pilot movie cause originally they were going to use the series buzz voice actor Patrick Warburton but managed to get Tim Allen to reprise the role for the pilot so he had also had to work around material made for Patrick Warburton’s way of speaking not his and he had to adapt how he said e like to try and make fit with the animation according to the making of the pilot

Are we ever getting a video about Joker from Batman the Brave and the Bold?

I love Tim Curry, but that sounds NOTHING like him. For real, what was he doing to his voice to get that performance?

Tim Curry has a great voice one that should never be messed with. Yet for some reason the voice he uses for the Joker sucks. It doesn't sound like Tim Curry. They should have just had him use his normal voice, accent and all. Would have been better.

If mark would ever quit, I’d want his replacement to be Troy Baker.

Do I detect a New York/Brooklyn accent to Tim Curry’s Joker ? Sounds to me, a bit similar to Harley Quinn ?

Ow we just need mark to play pennywise in some way, shape or form

Can you review Batman the brave and the bold

A voice like Nicholson or Hammil is the ideal voice for me

Never knew this, cool!

We need to at least see Tim Curry play a live action Joker

Sheeze… Curry sounds like Bender from Futurama.

It's so hard hearing any voice besides Hamill's for the Joker. When the Joker robots fall over in Christmas With The Joker, the laugh you hear is also Tim Curry

FUN FACT: Michael McKean himself played an evil, fear-based clown in the _Star Trek: Voyager_ episode “The Thaw” and even costarred with Tim Curry in the murder-mystery comedy _Clue_ based on the board game.

Tim Curry Joker sounds like John DiMaggio

Wow. I didnt know this at all. It sounds like Mark Hamill perfected what Curry started.

Every time you say “clown prince of crime”, a bat gets his wings.

I like to see what’s your take on the 2004 Joker as I feel he is pretty underrated yet one of the most terrifying iterations.

Great video my man. Do you watch Loki? the Disney Plus show??

Michael McKean was great! I would've loved to hear more of his Joker.

If we grew up hearing Tim Curry’s Joker we would think Mark Hammil’s voice sounds weird.

Is it just me or did some of the Tim curry clips sound like John DiMaggio

I like to think in the alternate history Tim curry kept the role he would learn as the show went on how to play the role better as his own better knowing the character

Tim Curry is good but my god he should have used his natural voice. He's clearly trying to make him sound different but his normal voice would work well enough.

Only OGs remember when the subs were called Vee-Tards instead of Vee-Generates lmao

Is it just me or do some of the Curry takes sound a lot more like Bender from Futurama than Joker?

This put a smile on my face

I saw the fucking thumb nail THAT SHUT SCARED ME

Joker's Gang In bb would be cool( Video Make )

IMO, Tim Curry's Joker sounds, in vocal tone and mannerisms, like Bender from Futurama, which is ironic given John DiMaggio voiced the Joker in the two Red Hood animated movies.

Listening to Tim Curry's vocie as joker is kinda funny sounding.

Evidently Michael McKean's greatest terrifying clown performance is still "The Thaw" in Voyager

They should have used 90s Chris Tucker, “Batman! You got knocked the heck out! Ahahahahahahahahaha”

2:57 "tim plays the joker as if joker himself is the punchline, where mark played the joker, as if the joker is in on the joke, and his victims, are the punchline" and this is why mark hamill's take on the joker, results in an irreplaceable infamy, because that ideological angle, very much IS, The Joker. The Clown Prince is very much Driven by the fact that all it takes for people to turn bad (allegedly ?) is for them to suffer enough and be warped and deformed by their endured traumas. The Joker himself is warped and deformed in his need to make others conform to this induced outcome, and 'realize the joke'. The Joker is neither the Joke or Punchline in and of itself, Joker is the comedian who sets up the joke and delivers (to) the punchline, to get others to react as desired.

Richard Rohan played Batman and the Joker (quite well IMO) in a few Graphic Audio productions.

He sounds a lot like King Chicken from Duckman, another character he played.

You also have to realize that this is not cleaned up audio.

In Be A Clown some of Tim Curry’s audio was used for an animatronic clown, and the disguise was clearly inspired by Pennywise. That being said the first few clips, sound like the Silver Age Jokers, specifically Larry Storch.

there's times where i think currys performance sound like the larry storch version and there's other times where he sounds like wayne cramp. on a side note i always just assumed hail did the rat joker laugh but the scarecrow idea adds up perfect. as for the Loren Lester one that was great makes me wonder about the alt universe where we got him instead.

6:52 I kinda like the joker’s version of him wearing a blue tie with formal suit, instead of tuxedo 🤵🏻

Mark Hamill is the true voice of Joker and no one can top him

7:17 Batman Who Laughs prediction

Vee infuso is more obsessed with the joker then batman I hope to see vee cover tmnt and other big series and some video games

It reminds me of the old Hanna Barbara Batman cartoons. For sure...

I kinda loved Michael McKean's silver age Joker as a kid, Loved that DKR Batman voice Michael Ironside did too.

I'm honestly surprised no one tried to cast Tim Curry as the Joker in a different project not attached to Batman: TAS or the DCAU later down the line. Obviously, I mean before his unfortunate stroke in 2013. The man was a great voice actor, so I think he could've evolved the voice over time similar to Hamill.

Rip mark Hamill

I'm a fan of tim Curry but no lol he sounded too whinny

I want that batman beyond video

Michael McKean also played an evil clown-like character in an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

They should've had Tim Curry voice the Sliver Age Joker in "Legends of the Dark Knight" episode. Would've come full circle, plus his voice fits much better than the other actor.

🦇 👍

Batman Beyond has a lotta of Jokers too and they were quite good villains lol.

I think that voice fits this joker better to be honest.

1:59 😂

YOU FORGOT THE TWO LINES FROM LOBOTOMIZED JOKER FROM THE JUSTICE LEAGUE ANIMATED SERIES AT THE INSANE ASYLUM LOOKED LIKE HAMILL JOKER AND SOUNDED SIMILAR

Tim Curry is a part of my childhood. He was in a ton of stuff I watched as a kid, and he was always the bad guy...and he was always very VERY good at being the bad guy. He could be scary! One minute he's a bit withdrawn, with some sense of ego of and sinister aura...then, he just goes full on evil...and YIPES. He will SCARE you. When asked about why he takes so many villiaous roles he said "Because...I get to have more fun!"

Definitely love hearing about Batman Beyond. Knew Tim Curry was originally cast, and at first was disappointed by Hamill, especially since he basically just used his Trickster voice from The Flash, however, Hamill as Joker just became very natural.

This is Hollywood’s fault! The joker, the Joker!

This is Hollywood’s fault, the joker, the joker.

This makes all the sense when you look at Mark’s first three appearances as the character, especially the Christmas episode. There’s something just…off about his performance there

Hearing someone elses voice come out of TAS joker that isn't mark hamill is so freaking weird to me

Might as well have Joker say “They All FLoooooooAaaaaaTttt!?!?”

Any theories about how Joker escaped death, in all those near misses in the animated series, until his eventual death?

I also recall reading somewhere that Mark Hamill auditioned to voice Hank Hill, is this true!?

do jokers gang and batman beyond =) long video =)

Makes sense since Tim played Pennywise

Honestly I like Tim curry version,kinda suits well with this design of joker.

0:32 I can’t tell the difference

This is Hollywood's fault, the joker!

Tim curry sounds so damn good tho ngl

This is Hollywood's fault. The Joker! The Joker! Side note, people rarely catch this but in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker's climax, Will Friedele mocks the joker an it's clear that for a moment he emulates mark Hamill's laugh for a moment. I always thought was an inspired choice because Mark's little chuckle into laugh is so distinct(I always just call it a Hyena laugh)
