The Joker, voiced by Mark Hamill, joins MultiVersus

MultiVersus returns on May 28, and a new trailer reveals that the Joker is joining the roster. Best of all, Mark Hamill once again voices the Clown Prince of Crime.

While we don’t see gameplay, a cinematic trailer sets up a dramatic showdown (and likely emotional reunion for fans) between Batman, voiced in the game by the late Kevin Conroy, and his nemesis.

This is the first game to feature both actors from Batman: The Animated series together as respective characters since 2018’s Lego DC Super Villans. Conroy died in 2022, and before 2024’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, MultiVersus was the last game to feature his Batman performance. After his death, Hamill had alluded to remove the Joker role for good. However, dataminers discovered the existence of Joker in MultiVersus in 2022 and found audio files revealing Hamill’s performance. This means he probably recorded his lines before Conroy died.

Joker is the first new character to join the existing fighter lineup, but he won’t be the last. We’re curious to see who else joins the fray after MultiVersus relaunches on May 28 on PlayStation 5, Xbox series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
