Mark Hamill reprises role as the Joker in MultiVersus entertainment news

The Joker, one of the most iconic villains in comic book history, is set to join the playable roster of MultiVersus this month. Warner Bros. Games has confirmed that Mark Hamill will reprise his role as the Clown Prince of Crime, joining the late Kevin Conroy as Batman in the highly anticipated platform fighting game.

The addition of the Joker to MultiVersus’ roster adds another layer of excitement to the already diverse lineup of characters, which includes heroes and villains from DC Comics such as Batman, Harley Quinn, Black Adam, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The Joker’s reveal trailer showcases his signature weapons like a crowbar, playing cards, and a rocket launcher, hinting at his unique playstyle in the game.

What makes this announcement even more special is the reunion of Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, who famously portrayed the Joker and Batman in Batman: The Animated Series. After Conroy’s passing in 2022, Hamill had expressed his reluctance to continue voicing the Joker without his longtime co-star. However, with pre-recorded lines by Conroy already in the game, fans can look forward to one last performance by the iconic duo.

MultiVersus is set to launch on May 28, 2024, as a free-to-play game, offering players the chance to pit their favorite characters against each other in epic battles. With the addition of the Joker, fans can expect an unforgettable gaming experience that pays homage to the rich history of these beloved characters.
