Joker
Mark Hamill praise Jared Leto ’s portrayal of theJokerin the DC Extended Universe . Mostly know for his prolific work in theStar Warssaga as Luke Skywalker , Hamill has also been confiscate to several other roles in the past , but arguably his 2d most iconic gig to appointment is voicing the Clown Prince of Crime . His work as the DC supervillain started almost three 10 ago in the seriesBatman : The Animated Series , paired Kevin Conroy ’s take on the Batman . Since then , the 65 - class - honest-to-goodness has go on to repeat the role in many later spinoff series , video games , and plastic film .
Leto , on the other mitt , is the latest from the lot of actors who have inhabited the famed adversary , only debuting during last year’sSuicide Squadfrom David Ayer . There was huge force per unit area on the thespian ’s part hail in to take over the role , especially after Heath Ledger ’s critically - acclaimed iteration of the character in Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knightalmost 10 years ago . But mass were still affirmative given his power to morph himself in a role as seen in his previous movies . unluckily , his enactment was met with mixed reviews from fans who felt like his take on it was all bark and no bite .
Despite this , Hamill has nothing but just Bible for Leto ’s delineation of the Joker . lately , a fan seemingly threw tone on Leto ’s carrying out by insinuating that he should see Hamill ’s work on the same fictitious character on Twitter with which Hamill graciously replied . This profit the doer applaud from his followers for respecting other mass ’s body of work , especially for a common property that both he and Leto have had the exclusive right to act as out on the bounteous and small screen .
Like all great actors@JaredLetomade the part his own!#Respect — Mark Hamill ( @HamillHimself)September 23 , 2017
In retrospect , it was a bit unjust to easily dismiss Leto ’s carrying out as the Joker when we have only ever seen him in one flick where he was even scarcely in it . At one point , even he was surprised athow lowly his part was in the filmthat it could pass up as just a glorified cameo , when in fact , he was very salient in the marketing safari for the movie . If anything , we should at least give him the chance to fully strut his stuff before we pass final sound judgment on his performance as it is no secret that he does have some serious acting chops .
Hamill ’s days of spiel the Clown Prince of Crime may be over , at least right now , but the histrion has been in use dusting off his Jedi robe as he is set to return to the " galaxy far far aside " by the conclusion of this year to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in Rian Johnson’sStar war : The Last Jedi . Leto , on the other bridge player , despite report of aDCEU - separateJokerorigins storywithout him is still expected to reprise his current DC role in several approaching photographic film including theJoker / Harley spin - offopposite Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn , from theatre director Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ( Crazy , Stupid , Love ) , as well as , another visual aspect in thefast - trackedSuicide SquadsequelandGotham City Sirens .
