You know what else Mark Hamill does? Some voices in the animated show Metalocalypse. Which is possibly the best show ever. But for metalheads only lol. That's the weird part. The show is basically just to pay homage to Heavy Metal, especially Death and Black Metal. So Mark Hamill is obviously awesome.

He's a brilliant voice actor, and frankly, after seeing the "New [http://www.onlygoodmovies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/jar-jar-binks.jpg] Generation [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Yk6LqyG9X6w/Smp1MjkMqqI/AAAAAAAAC64/rvUc5uCDXGE/s320/newzaroundus_jake_lloyd_anakin_skywalker.jpg] of Star Wars [http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/finally-some-star-wars-i-am-excited-about/content/M2?OpenElement]," I think it's safe to say that Mark Hamill has become too good for the Star Wars franchise. And quite frankly, I want to see him do more voice-acting in video games: he's got a brilliant range, unlike some other overrated voice actors [http://fanboyopolis.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/david_hayter.jpg].
I wouldn't say he's over rated, he is a good voice actor. Not the best, but is worthy of mention when you bring up good VAs.
To set the record straight, I don't think he's a bad voice actor, I just think he's undeserving of his cult following. [small]Also, he's got silly hair.[/small]
Out of curiosity, why is that? Good call on the hair, I agree XD
Why? Simply because ANYONE can do the voice of Solid Snake. To be fair, Hayter's voice acting focuses more on believable projection rather than a large vocal range, but that still doesn't distract from the fact that there are probably hundreds of unknown voice actors who could have performed the role just as well as he did.

And did I mention that he has fucking stupid hair?
I tip my hat to you sir, that is a very good reason for what you think.

Yeah, but he made out with a porn star... seriously, I'd be on a strictly mouthwash diet for life after that.

I loved the cast in that game, especially Jason Bernard as Eisen. He, Blair, and maniac seemed like the only ones really into their parts.

Mark Hamill's Joker is a fantastic piece of art.

And Kevin Conroy has a voice that could turn the Pope gay with how smoothly velvet it is.

Well Mark Hamill is one of the best Jokers I've ever seen. His maniacal laughter is one of the first things I think of when I think of the Joker.

And whoever looks down on voice actors doesn't know shit. Voice acting takes considerable talent, I've heard of some very credible actors who can't voice act worth shit.

Wow, he looks OOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD in that picture. I liked the animated Batman series, even not knowing who voiced the Joker and I liked that a bit of nostalgia was brought with the voices of the Joker and Batman. It's too bad though that people will only remember him for one famous piece of work though. The curse of fame.

Bottom left, blonde hair. WHAT'S HIS NAME (if it's not the guy I'm thinking of, it looks exactly like him)?

I have never seen any of the Batman animated series, so for me Hamill's Joker in BAA was a new one -- and I'm absolutely convinced this is the best Joker ever.
Jack Nicholson was fun to see, Heath Ledger was absolutely great, but Hamill is the Joker.

I didn't watch the Batman Animated Series (which is probably a BIG mistake now), but Hamill was the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man's 90s cartoon. That was pretty cool. Oh, and until people said it was David Hayter, I thought the guy was Winger...dude...I think I'm gonna vomit now.

Congratulations, you now have my undying love. Use it sparingly.

Mark Hamil makes for a great Joker, no question. We will always be grateful to have a nerdy icon like you around Mark.

Nice to see he's still gonna do the Joker, especially since he's renowned for voicing him...

Hamill's Joker from Batman: The Animated Series was the version I grew up with. I watched that show every morning before school, and every night before bed. To me Mark Hamill is the Joker, 'nuff said. Heck, he's more Joker to me than he is Luke Skywalker, and this is coming from a huge Star Wars fan. It's great to have him back in the purple suit.

If they ever do a live action adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, I'd love to see him take the role.

I always found it odd he never got more on-screen roles. I mean, after starring in such a massive hit your next film could only ever be a 'step down', but still.

If he's happy with what he's doing that's cool though - he is great as the Joker.

You people need to rent/buy 'Comic Book: The Movie' now!

Tons of voice talent to be enjoyed there.

P.S. He also did Solomon Grundy(?) on JLU

Much as I love Cesar Romero's portrayal, Mark Hamill's laugh IS the Joker now.

But please, get Harley's original threads back. She's not a kevlar hooker.
She just got overexcited at the chance to wear a nurse's uniform for Mr J.
