Mark Hamill Joker monologue - Star Wars Celebration VI 

You can't spell Mark Hamill without arkham.

I love how 20 years later he's still so enthusiastic about the role.

"The Joker is too high profile. I can't do it, because everyone has an idea of how The Joker should sound." "But now that idea is You." What a badass, honorable thing to hear. when you set the standard, and a high one, for a huge fandom.

This man's voice IS the joker.

Mark Hamill's version of the Joker is pure genius all the way; I remember being completely shocked as a kid, to learn that "Luke Skywalker" was the Clown Prince of Crime.

He never grows tired of doing these monologues to fans does he? Amazing dedication.

when you realize that moment where Luke is actually more psychotic than Darth Sidious

what did we do to deserve and have Mark Hamill in our reality?

Mark Hamill is incredible when you watch him voice act. The facial expressions, the presence he creates.

These days, when I think of Mark Hamill, I don't picture Luke Skywalker... I picture the Joker.

"Everyone has an idea of how the Joker should sound" "And now... that idea is YOU!" That is SO true!!! xD

Mark's Joker has gotten better as he's gotten older the raspy-ness helps a lot.

In a tragic plot twist, Luke Skywalker's long isolation has driven him mad, and Mark Hamill plays the entire role from Star Wars VIII on in character as the Joker.

"There's no way I could do that and satisfy everybody" Oh, Mr. Hamill... if only you knew back then.... You were about to rock a lot of worlds as that character.

Anyone else smile when Mr. Hamill stood up to perform?

Is that acting or is that f*****g acting?!! Mark is much more than just a 'voice' actor.. That's the real deal right there! Absolute quality.

Luke Skywalker put him on the map. Joker made him a legend. Mark Hamill, you brought to life one of the sickest villains the world could ever ask for in a way no one else could. Thank you.

Both Mark Hamill AND Heath Ledger were iconic as the Joker. Hamill for portraying him as a funny lunatic, while Ledger portrayed a more sinister (and dark) version comic book fans have known for years. No need to hate on either because each actor did Joker great.

Not just the voice, but Mark Hamill's portrayal is the definitive portrayal. He balanced him perfectly between dangerous and whimsical. Jack Nicholson was too whimsical and Heath Ledger was too dangerous.

I like how Hamill is as much of a geek as the rest of us.

I still say that it would be amazing if during episode 7 Luke went to the dark side. Started talking in that joker voice and was named Darth Joker.

Hamill...you...are my number one...guy!

I had goosebumps while he recited that. Amazing.

heath ledger played an anarchist , jack nicholson played a gangster but mark hammil was the joker.

mARK HAMill I just realised that Arkham is in Mark Hamill's name. Mind.. is.. blown!

You know what I love about Mark Hamill? He really puts the 'fun' in funeral.

4:04 That smile! That's Joker right there!

Best Joker ever. He nailed it. Also, what a swell guy!

Jack Nicholson played the clown, Heath Ledger played the psycho, but Mark Hamill played the Joker to perfection!

Hamil's joker is brilliant, both comical and menacing, both whimsical and psychopathic, and his laugh variations are just amazing, truly a stroke of genius casting him as Joker in the animated series.

There are 3 types of Jokers: theLedger Joker, the Nicholson Joker and the Hamill Joker. They are too different to be compared with or against eachother. I've grown up with these 3 Jokers and they all play their parts perfectly.

When I found out as a kid that Mark Hamill was the Joker, I then understood that he was much more than a guy on a screen and a true thespian. Age or no, with his voice he brought drama to a show that wanted drama and to entertain children, but his voice and his passion truly brought in more. Only as an adult can I see the difference between Luke and the Joker. As a kid I would never have believed, even if I knew it were true. This is the difference between a actor (Hamill), super star, and a star. Hamill is an actor, and truly one that has done his duty for those who wish to be entertained.

it's always interesting to watch a performer go into character. mark just becomes a different person right in front of your eyes

*spits out drink* Tim Curry was almost the Joker?!?!?!?!

The "original" voice actor Mark is talking about that he replaced was Tim Curry. He voiced Captain Hook in "Peter Pan and the Pirates" Fun Fact

Did anyone else notice that Mark Hamill has arkham in his name?

Never heard Hamill do this Joker voice until now. Wow. Does he nail it or what !!? He's brilliant at it.

Just look at how the character takes over when he does this. His face when he is insulting the low level gangster is perfect.

I think the best part of this is seeing how animated Mark Hamill gets when he's doing the voice work.

I remember when he portrayed the Trickster in the original Flash. He was great in that role too.

Thumbs up for Mark Hamill as Joker in Snyder's Batman v Superman

Mark Hamill is really cool actually. Ive never heard him just talk outside of him acting.

A "Killing Joke" animated movie has been announced and guess who is voicing Joker...

I bet you this will happen when Star Wars Episode VII comes out - Star Wars fans - "LUKE SKYWALKER!!" Batman fans - "JOKER!!" Avatar fans - "FIRE LORD OZAI!!"

This man can literally embody the Joker whenever he does his voice, what a legend

Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, the three definitive Jokers. God help Jared Leto.

Mark Hamill is pure amazing. He loves the comics, he loves the cartoons, and he IS the Joker. And I love how much he enjoys doing these monologues for the fans. A true gentlemen of his craft. Magnificent.

I just love how he LOVES doing it for an audience because he knows we wanna see it. Some actors would see it as showboating or being a mark for yourself but Mark Hamill knows we the fans want to see/hear him do this so he obliges. I love it.

god. its awesome to me how you can see that mark really really loves this role and is dedicated to it in the way he gets into it and never seems to mind breaking it out for fans.

every actor you played the joke had there own version of him. but mark is him. mark created the joker in a way that fit so perfectly that it became joker himself.

Vote Mark Hamill for the next actor to play joker in a movie. (not a cartoon or game, but actual actor)

I love Mark Hamill so much when he is voicing and laughing as the Joker :) ! Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy made the performances of Joker and Batman so memorable in Batman TAS and The Arkham Games :) . I can't wait for The Killing Joke :) I will miss Mark Hamill so much when he is voicing The Joker the last time after The Killing Joke :'(

heathe ledger might of been the face of joker but mark hamill will always be the voice and soul of joker

you can see the scenery, the vat of acid, the box. almost see the purple suit and green shirt and the maniacal smile just from the energy Mark exudes into the atmosphere. superb.

I love Mark Hamill, He's a awesome actor, especially when he did the star wars movies.😎😎😍😍😍❤❤💘💘

Mr. Hamil, you sir are one of a kind.

That eulogy scene was one of my favourite performances of his in the show. Awesome to see him perform it.

He will always be THE voice of Joker for me, period

You can just tell he never gets tired of doing. Genuinely such a nice person. Plus he's Luke Skywalker. Mark Hamil Is The definition of "The Man" to nerds. At least to me.

THE KILLING JOKE ANIMATED MOVIE IS FINALLY HAPPENING DC HAD BETTER CALL KEVIN & MARK!

If Jared Leto is really Jason Todd or whatever, I hope Mark Hamill gets to play the original aged and retired/imprisoned Prince of Clown.

He has well and truly nailed the character of the Joker! Such an awesome voice!

The ONLY Joker adaptation, as far as I am concerned.

I have all the respect in the world for Mark Hamill for coming up with this voice. I'm sincerely glad he was able to end up making a name for himself in the industry after all, because he got a bum rap in Star Wars. I think most people forget that he was the hottest new up and coming actor when Star Wars came out. He gave up a role on a TV show that was supposed to catapult him into the spotlight in order to do the Star Wars movies, and then ended up overshadowed by Harrison Ford. Good for him that he found his place, after all, and with an outstanding voice for the best damn character--hero or villain--in the DC Universe.

can the world please appreciate talent while they are here? Mr. Hamill.

Dini is such a good writer. He has such a great understanding of the Joker. I mean who puts words like gunsel in a kid's cartoon. Like this is such a perfect blend of comedic, crazy and downright scary. Hamill performs it beautifully of course.

He should have been cast in "The Dark Knight". I've known for years he was the voice behind the Joker on the animated series, but it's one thing to know someone's the voice actor of an animated character and another to actually picture them physically in the roll. Without the make-up on he still becomes Joker not only through his voice but his expression and actions.

He's one of the greatest heroes of all time *AND* one of the greatest villains of all time. *A true legend.*

You can see him physically transform into the joker

The student truly became the master.

I want that eulogy delivered in that voice by that man at my funeral (if I ever plan on dying)

Who knew Hamil could Luke Skywalker and the Joker. I give him a lot respect.

I never realized how good a voice actor Mark is? In Star Wars his acting wasn't of this quality, which is a shame because he could have gone on to be fucking huge rather than for the most part being left by the way side. I can't wait to see how he has evolved in SW VII because he has clearly grown into a great actor

I don't think I've ever been on the edge of my seat watching a youtube video...until now.

MARKed as Joker forever

I like Mark Hamill's Joker. I also liked Jack Nicholson's, Heath Ledger's, and John DiMaggio's. All of them managed to pull of that sort of sociopathic clown vibe, as far as I'm concerned.

That was some bad ass acting right there... why has he never done live action joker again?

This makes me believe he could do a live action joker.

Mark Hamill will always be the voice of Joker to me for the rest of my life, Thank you sir.

i could seriously see him playing an aged joker in a movie, the voice the facial expressions, and his eyes. it'd be awesome

Out of the four main Jokers (Romero, Nicholson, Hamill, and Ledger), Hamill tops them all. This man is wonderful!

Hamill will always be Joker's voice, and Ledger will always be his face. If you could combine them both, you'd have the original joker from the comics reborn perfectly.

Who ever posted this, thank you. Mark Hamill is such a talented guy and to actually see him perform the Joker is a fan's dream come true.

wow... what a range he's got... brilliant genius!!! thanks for posting this!

I really hope one day Warner Bros will release the recordings of Tim Curry's Joker voice, very curious on how his take of the character was, lot of people think he sounded like Pennywise when he did his Joker voice but I don't think that's true

105 Jared Leto accounts

Thank you for uploading this!

Mark Hamill doing the eulogy for Batman will NEVER get old. It's ART, plain & simple. He could do the Joker in film form !

Mark Hamill is the Joker. He killed the voice! Troy Baker does an excellent job but Hamill created that voice. Respect.

i cracked up at the end of the eulogy when he said "Now that was fun...now who's for chinese?" cuz i'm eating chinese take out! lol! for me Joker will alway be Hamill & Nicholson....thats it.

Absolutely LOVE Mark's Joker, it's just so perfect and the laugh is brilliant

"....But I digress."

I almost fell over laughing so hard at that eulogy, that was hilarious

Well, *that* was fun; who's for Chinese?

Such a wonderful person. National treasure this guy.

Thank you for posting this. This has ALWAYS been my favorite monologue of the Joker (from Batman TAS). Hamill completely captured the essence of the Joker's intellect, maniacal sense, playfulness, and insanity in his eulogy. Like many others, when I found out that Mark Hamill was the voice behind the Joker I was blown away. I have been sold ever since. To me Hamill set the bar for what it means to be the Clown Prince of Crime. Loved him even more in the Arkham Series.

If I was Mark, every time I got into an argument with someone I'd just tell them "Fuck you, I'm Luke Skywalker AND The Joker. Your argument is completely invalid". He'd win every time.

Weird how he plays probably the two most different characters. Both being on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Thanks for posting, Debbi !

I remember watching this live, great convention and great panel.
