I have been a little behind in this little lead, since I don’t have much time to watch cartoons these days, but I plan on changing that and start catching up as this Joker is different from anything I have seen before. From what I know it is voiced by Brent Spiner (Data, Star Trek: Next Generation) and though he does not sound anything like Mark Hamill or Joe DiMaggio, I think he might be into someting good. The main problem in this episode I think is poor writing. Joker did not have much chance to show off and the jokes were kind of lame. Hope they get someone who REALLY understands the Joker’s psyche for future episodes. Regarding Mr. Spiner, I think he just needs time to get into character a little bit more. You can hear that he is not too comfortable with the Clown yet and mostly, he needs to work on that laugh. To me, it is not maniacal enough. Now, Mr. Spiner is no stranger to voice acting and I’m sure he could really nail this character given him time. Let’s see how this goes in future appearances. Mr. Spiner has very big shoes to fill with Joker’s character after the work of previous voice actors and on top of that, he has to emboss that special “Spiner magic” (which is not there yet) to make THIS Joker his and unique.
In the meantime I took the liberty of bringing you SEASON 1 EPISODE 14 “REVELATIONS” part one and two with Joker in it.
