Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are officially coming back to voice the animated adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke!
“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,” Hamill said in a statement to CBR. “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.”
Tara Strong will voice Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Ray Wise will voice Commissioner Gordon in Batman: The Killing Joke.
