In this month's Return to Gotham, IllusiveKen writes on how Mark Hamill's voice blessed 'Batman: The Animated Series' with the 'Joker's Favor'
is a monthly column looking back at the cartoon that remains a touchstone of the superhero genre and one of the most iconic portrayals of The Dark Knight.you might point to as being either well-executed or highly influential in later portrayals of Batman’s world, I humbly argue this: Mark Hamill’s Joker is emblematic of the show at its absolute best.
is that the Joker was the kind of button man who would kill your father and then smile in your face when you came home to discover his body.to other shows in the continuity for examples, and in this case the direct-to-videoencapsulates the real heights of his evil the best.
In “Joker’s Favor,” Charles Collins is one of the regular joes whose thankless jobs keep Gotham running. Stuck in a frustrating commute after a deflating day at work and on the way home to his ho-hum life, he loses his cool at a fellow commuter. The driver just so happens to be the Joker, who is none too happy with Collins. He offers Collins a deal: Do the Joker a favor, and he’ll spare the man.
Hamill’s performance in just this one scene could be a highlight reel for the character. He’s dismissive as the scene begins, enraged as Collins asserts himself, and then after the reveal of the bomb, he manages to sound terrified while still delivering crackerjack comedic timing. All of it reinforces this version of the Joker that Hamill and the show’s creators and voice director Andrea Romano so painstakingly created.
