Batman: The Animated Series re-introduced rogues such as Mr. Freeze (“Heart of Ice”) and Two-Face (“Two-Face”) and made their origins sympathetic yet thrilling to the new audience of the Caped Crusader. The Joker’s psychotic nature was animated like never before by Bruce Timm’s pen and actor Mark Hamill’s voice. Although in the 1990s run of the series the character is in less than 30 episodes, as seen in @HamillHimself’s interview posted yesterday in our session, a major attribute that defines The Joker in Bruce Timm and Paul Dini’s animated show was his ever changing but always chaotic laugh. Depending on the situation, the laugh would change to fit the Clown Prince of Crime’s mood. At times he is gleefully scheming, like escaping Arkham Asylum on Christmas Eve in the episode ‘Christmas with The Joker". At times he is feeling successful with his new “Joker Fish” in “The Laughing Fish” (clip presented, 46th episode, originally aired January 10, 1993, based on Steve Englehart’s Detective Comics (Vol 1) 475 - 476 from 1978). Or maybe he is angry by the Batman’s apparent demise in 'The Man Who Killed Batman’ or by his image wrongfully used in the new Gotham casino in “Joker’s Wild”. With Joker’s appearances, many including his sidekick Harley Quinn (created for The Animated Series), hearing the Joker laugh in any episode signaled to the audience that the Dark Knight has to deal with the evil clown and his insane crimes that only make sense to the criminal himself. We will take a look at Hamill’s role in more DCAU shows after The Animated Series soon, so stay tuned for more Joker soon on History of the Batman!
