As much as I love Hamill, this isn't a contest - just a variation. And it obviously works.

DiMaggio is very talented, but I don't believe DiMaggio Joker is genuinely crazy.

Ugh. I think Binro makes a compelling argument.

Mark is getting old and said the voice was getting more and more difficult to sustain. Let go guys, let go.

I just looked him up. His IMDB photo makes him look like a chubby James Hetfield.

Also, he did voices for a revival of "Pound Puppies" that I've remained blissfully unaware of. Though I'm sure clips will now be posted here, as surely someone has started a disturbing fandom to go along with it.

John DiMaggio looks exactly, eerily like my brother.

I think he's worthy of taking over as the new voice of the Joker if Hamill really is done with the role.

Cartoon nerd activate: The Pound Puppies reboot has been around for like three years. It has no fandom to speak of because it's freaking terrible.

Also, the best episode of the original 80's Pound Puppies was the one where they all learned where babies come from. Sample dialog: "Oh, I see! The baby comes out of the mommy's tummy!" I had nightmares.

Why do they tell children such lies about where pound puppies come from?

They come from slave labor storks in China.

It would need the awkward silence between lines.

You missed the opening scene where the Joker beats Robin to death with a pipe.

It was a crowbar, actually.

When is Joker NOT beating Robin to death? He's beaten Robin to death so many times Gotham City has officially run out of orphans.

No, that was posted as well. I don't really care that a cartoon character beats another one with a pipe, though.

Would it be more to your liking with live actors?

Does it need more sex, Hooker?

No. I just want a cartoon to finally not be written like a stupid fanfiction.

Most of these direct-to-DVD cartoons are based off of popular runs on the comic book. Technically, it's fanfiction if you consider all things not written by Bob Kane to be fanfic, but there you go.

The appeal is that the better stories from the comics can be made into animated movies (since they're cheaper than the live-action stuff), they don't have restrictions on characters from the DCU that the movies have (thanks to licensing deals) and they're often, at least story-wise, better than the mainstream theatrical releases. "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" is a much better Batman story than pretty much any of the movies.

I wasn't calling this fanfiction. I was comparing the quality to fanfiction.

Let me explain this scene: The Joker is propositioned to kill somebody by a guy (Red Skull?), and is surrounded by a handful of the guy's henchmen. The Joker asks for a glass of water. The Joker smashes the glass, and before anyone can react, he slashes a henchman's throat, takes his gun, and shoots all the other henchmen. He then says something cool.

Now, honestly. Is this closer to Die Hard or Half-Life: Full Life Consequences?

Honestly, it's not close to either of those. Rather, it's a well written & interesting scene.

You have terrible taste in cinema.

It's not the Red Skull.

Okay, that origin story DOES resemble Half Life Full Life Consequences.

This was definitely a pre-meditated stifling of his normal murder impulse.

I love this film.
