Mark Hamill To Voice Joker In Batman: Arkham Asylum
Will You Appear In The Game, Too?
Direct from the GameStop Expo in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. Interactive have confirmed that Mark Hamill will be portraying the Joker in the upcoming action-adventure game, Batman: Arkham Asylum. While this was announced by Game Informer last month, Warner Bros. had not confirmed it until today.
As many of you know, Hamill, most famous for his role in a little known sci-fi series called Star Wars, portrayed the Joker for years in the Batman animated series, and is widely regarded as the best voice actor to ever portray him. Though there’s been no mention of it from any official source, an announcement that Hamill’s co-star, Kevin Conroy, will be reprising his role as the Dark Knight seems likely. It also seems awesome.
Warner Bros. will also be holding a contest, the winner of which will be turned into an in-game inmate of Arkham Asylum. The winner’s cell will be decked out with personal photos and wall writings designed by the winner. This contest hasn’t yet been officially announced, but according to a Joystiq tipster, we can expect confirmation sometime next week.

YAAAAYYYY! He really was an EXCELLENT Joker.
wow i never knew that either.. very cool stuff
Mark Hamill RULED as the Joker, this is excellent news!
So much better than my idea of using a re-animated Heath Ledger...
So sweet. This game keeps looking better, but when are they going to show some gameplay?
Also, does anyone know if this is going to be a straight beat-em-up, or a more stealth-based game?
from the screens it looks like it might have some stealth in it but straight beat em up mostly.. though this is just what i can guess from the screenshots.
