Mark Hamill Reportedly Set to Voice The Joker in BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE Movie
Mark Hamill has been voicing The Joker ever since 1992’s Batman: The Animated Series. He has gone on to reprise the role in other film and television appearances in the DC Animated Universe, as well as the Batman: Arkham video game series.

Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS (2015)
Witness a divergent reality where the Justice League protects the planet – but answers to no one but themselves. Employing methods of intimidation and fear, this Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman deal brute force in the name of justice. From the creative genius of executive producer Bruce Timm and co-producer Alan Burnett comes an original story where the world’s greatest triumvirate of super heroes has distinctly different origins. Superman was not raised by the Kents in Smallville, the Caped Crusader is not Bruce Wayne, and Wonder Woman is not an Amazon warrior of Themyscira. They are as likely the world’s saviors as Earth’s despotic rulers. When a group of famed…
