The passing of legendary Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy back in 2022 saw the voice of the Joker Mark Hamill retire from the role. With his work on Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three already in the can many believed that would be the last we heard his version of the Clown Prince of Crime, but a new trailer for MultiVersus has arrived with Hamill back on vocal duties and sounding as deliciously demented as ever.

Mark Hamill hasn’t had his last laugh as The Joker just yet. While the voice actor has previously stated that he had since retired as the villain role when his partner-in-crime Kevin Conroy (Batman) passed away in 2022, fans are going to hear his clown prince of crime a few more times before the year is over. We previously knew that Hamill would return as Joker in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three alongside Conroy, but it’s just been announced that he will also be a playable character in the fighting game MultiVersus.

MultiVersus was a Super Smash Bros.-like Mascot platform fighting game that brought all of Warner Brothers’ most popular characters together. This included Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Game of Thrones, Rick and Morty, Adventure Time and, of course, the DC Universe. The latter characters featured heroes like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman alongside villains like Harley Quinn. The free-to-play game was initially released in the summer of 2022 before it was abruptly shut down a year later, in 2023. Conroy recorded all his lines for Batman prior to his death. Now, back by popular demand, Player First Games is relaunching the game later this month with Joker being the first new character added. A cinematic trailer was also released teasing the next showdown between Conroy’s Dark Knight and Hamill’s Joker. The actor even recites one of the character’s classic lines, “wait till they get a load of me”, which Jack Nicholson famously said in Tim Burton’s Batman.
