actor was asked how he got the role of Batman's arch nemesis The Joker in 1992's groundbreaking . It turns out it was Keaton's turn as the Caped Crusader a couple of years earlier that gave Hamill the motivation he needed to secure the part.
"I had a confidence that really helped me because there was this big outcry that Michael Keaton was gonna play Batman," Hamill explained, adding how it was that fan backlash that inspired him. "'Oh, he's 'Mr. Mom,' he's a comedy actor.' I mean, they hadn't even seen him [in the role], and they didn't realize how great he would become. But, there was great controversy.
His nerves were calmed, though, and Mark Hamill voiced The Joker in numerous tv shows, video games, films, and pretty much every medium you can imagine for the following 30 years. While it all started as just a personal challenge on the heels of Michael Keaton conquering the role of Batman, why did Hamill stick with The Joker for so many years after the initial incarnation ofended in 1995?"Because he's insane, and because he's insane, he's never boring.
