For many fans, it goes without saying that Mark Hamill is a guy who knows The Joker inside and out.
If Mark Hamill approves of Jared Leto’s performance, he clearly sees some potential in the new Joker — even if Leto eventually goes on to share the role with another Joker for the character’s recently announced origin movie.
This compliment should not be taken lightly.
Winning the role from Tim Curry back in the 1990s, he has gone on to portray the supervillain in a wide variety of classic animated DC properties, from Batman: The Animated Series all the way through the Arkham video games and last year’s release of The Killing Joke, and it doesn’t look like he’s stopping anytime soon.
