Credit to Tudyk for pulling double duty on Joker and Clayface, but he can't cackle like Hamill.

John DiMaggio is an awesome voice actor but his Joker ain't remotely his best work.

Hamill is a legendary actor but Tudyk ain't no slouch either. I fully agree that Hamill's joker is better but there's certain roles where Tudyk would outshine him.

This is kind of a misapplication of this meme format: Mark Hamill is the obvious favorite. The whole point of the meme is that the chosen option is overlooked. I didn't even know DiMaggio voiced Joker.

I was thinking more along the lines of the young interviewer not being aware of Hamill, but you have a point.

Now that Kevin Conroy has passed, Mark's been pretty open about retiring from being the Joker. He was even open about only being the Joker if Kevin was there. They had good chemistry together and really knew their characters.

I'm sad there's no new Kevin and Mark Batman and Joker, but someone else needs to take the torch for both characters.

Yes, but, what about Kevin Michael Richardson’s Joker?

Aside from Mark Hamill, he’s probably my second. His character design is unique and looks bad ass, plus his voice acting is great. He’s got a deep voice that still hits those highs which makes him sounds particularly good.

The Batman's Joker is easily a second place favorite. His voice is deep and gravelly yet high pitched when needed. The lack of shoes and shaggy gair gives him a more feral look. Complement that with a pair of huge silent clown henchmen and goofy looking gadgets and it ends up being a little reminiscent of Cesar Romero's Joker.

Joker Fish are Batman canon.

If an actor can't do Joker Fish, they aren't right for the role.

It's very different which is obviously what they were going for, but I really like the way they redid most of the villains in Caped Crusader. I didn't like it at first, but looking back, was especially impressed with Two Face.

I liked that Hoechlin's Superman was established. He wouldn't have worked as well as an emerging superhero but he played the learned, experienced Superman so well.

Eugh, thanks for reminding me that episode happened. I had nightmares for days afterward. Batman was cool, and I still loved it as a kid. But I could have skipped that one.

Kevin Michael Richardson is such a dynamic actor, I've loved all his performances. He did an AMAZING Shredder in the 2012 TMNT. He was terrifying.

I'm glad to see someone mention Caesar Romero's Joker! I have a soft spot for the 60s Batman, and he did a great job making the Joker whimsical but still dangerous. He played so well against Burgess Meredith's Penguin and Eartha Kitt's Catwoman.

I watched Serenity in theaters on opening day not knowing anything about Firefly, and when Wash got speared, I shit you not, half the audience audibly gasped and more than a few people sounded in genuine distress.

I watched the TV series later and understood why.

It's not even a comparison.

Not because any of them are bad, but because each Joker is in a different scenario. Tudyk's is a part of the Harley Quinn series, which is more about comedy than anything(also his Clayface is great).

DiMaggio features in the Under the red hood movie, which is very dark and I think his performance fits that.

Hamill is from the older animated series but he also shows up in the justice league series and a few movies. I'm not really old enough to appreciate him in the cartoon but I liked him in JL.

Someone also mentioned Kevin Richardson and he's probably my favorite. He's from a later animated series and his version of Joker is much more random, crazier.

Mark Hamill also plays the joker I'm the Arkham games series, and he's a big reason those games are so good.

A lot of good decisions were made when developing Arkham Asylum, but bringing in the BTAS voice cast was among the best.

I still can't believe how good Asylum was. I know some people prefer later games in the series, but the intimacy of the smaller environment in Asylum made it the best of the series IMO. It felt almost like a Metroidvania but with Batman.
