The Jokers voice in this is absolutely dreadful


That is all

Agreed

It felt seriously out of place. You could never picture Joker if you close your eyes, just a more grumpy version of Jake the Dog.

I disagree, personally. John DiMaggio is no Mark Hamill, that much is true, but I thought he did reasonably well. His delivery was creepy enough to convey Jokers dark humor, and he had a pretty decent mad cackle.

Do I see DiMaggio taking the Joker reigns from Mark Hamill? No, but I wouldn't mind seeing him voice the Joker in future projects.

Besides, he wasn't nearly as bad as the Joker from the Young Justice TV show....

BOOT TO THE HEAD!

His voice was seriously out of place. Not that the guy is a bad voice actor. I guess I have Mark Hamill in my head and Mark he is not.

It was alright not my favorite tho.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

Agreed it wasn't anywhere near as good as Mark Hamill's Joker

In Southeast Asia we'd call this kind of thing bad karma.

And thats why you're all mostly wrong.

All you do is compare Jokers voice actor to Hamill, DiMaggio was great in this.

reply

The only reason one would hate this voice is because it isn't Mark Hamill.

His voice in this was really good, I thought. His laugh was great and everything.

It's jarring at first, because you expect to hear Mark Hamill coming through and instead you get a deep growly type thing. Once I got past that though, I actually rather enjoy this interpretation. He's every bit as nuts and sinister, the jokes come across fine and then there's the sly tempting tone he uses with Batman. Good stuff I felt.

Who loves ya, baby?

He's not terrible but it sounds too much like a combination of a failed attempt to do Hamill's Joker and Bender the robot. He slips into full Bender so much it's sort of distracting.

It's like Batman doing a Mark Hamill impression.

If he hadn't been following up Mark Hamill, he would've been fine. However, the fact is now, that when it comes to voicing The Joker there's Mark Hamill...and everybody who's NOT Mark Hamill.
