Some time ago I brought to you the Joker’s first appearance of in the YOUNG JUSTICE series. Back then I said (and I reaffirm what I said) that though Mr. Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek The Next Generation) is no Mark Hamill, I don’t doubt he has the talent to fill in the shoes of the Clown Prince of Crime’s voice. Part of the problem in that first appearance was that the script wrote for Joker in that particular episode was poorly conceived, but…
…Anyways, given that the series can be better written, I want to say that Mr. Spiner also needs to work a little bit on entonation and purpose of the voice (kind of understanding what makes Joker tic). And above all, he has to WORK ON THE LAUGHTER.
Joker’s laughter’s is just chilling. When you hear him laugh, you should know nothing good is coming from this clown. Yes, he is charming, but he is also scary. His laughter will make you soil your pants… I have an example here and though I have to admit that my friend LORDJAZOR’s dubbing sounds like Hamill (his talent with the Joker voice), the whole point of the comparison is to show what a little change in mood and purpose of the voice actor can do to the presence of a character on the screen. JUST…LISTEN…
THIS IS MR. BRENT SPINER’S RENDITION of JOKER
And theSAME PASSAGE, but DUBBED BY LORDJAZOR.
NOW…..Which one sounds better? I know the answer, do you? I’m sure Mr. Spiner has time to get it right.
Other posts I’ve made regarding LORDJAZOR’S Joker can be found HERE, HERE and HERE .
And a million thanks to LORDJAZOR for dubbing this for the fans ( and it helped me since I was dying to write this little note). You can hear more of LORDJAZOR’s voice magic on his YouTube channel HERE
