Tim Curry is amazing but yeah not the best choice for Joker lol.

Whos to say though, maybe thats just from years of being used to Marks Joker.

It's the accent that detracts from it, he otherwise sounds great.

It's honestly not bad. Glad they switched of course, but had he been the voice I think the show is just as good.

Both of these. Tim Curry could have settled into the role and if we had years and years of that as reference, he could have still been memorable.

But we'll never truly know, because we had Mark Hamill.

One thing that has me okay with this timeline.

Decent enough voice, just not all that fitting for Joker in particular.

I think live action he might have been a decent choice. I think 89 would have been just as good with Tim instead of Jack. As long as he's not doing a russian accent it's good

I kept getting hints of Bender from Futurama in Curry's Joker here.

IIRC, wasn't Mark Hamil instructed to base his Joker voice after Tim Curry's previous recordings?

It's...certainly different. I'm glad we got Mark, but it is curious to think about if we had decades of this Joker. Would we have fallen in love with it just as much? Hard to say.

Curry's Joker sounds like a desperate henchman. Not getting enough of the insanity.

Tim Curry would have been a good fit for the Penguin or Riddler imo

Tim Curry was great as Skull Master from Mighty Max, Konk from Pirates of Dark Water, and Kilokahn from Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.

He... doesn't make a good Joker. I'm sure there are other villains that he would have been great voicing. He probably could have made an awesome Scarecrow.

I think it's pretty clear that Hamill was taking cues from Curry's recordings. There are certainly some similarities. Hamill clearly injected the performance with a lot more life though.

I think that's what truly makes it bad for me. It would have been alright if it was touched up and I think tim curry does look like him a bit lol so it would have fit but mark Hamill is just so legendary.

Why is he even doing a weird voice? Tim Curry's regular voice would already have been fan-friggin-tastic for joker, as it has been for every other role he's done. Hell he literally has a role in a random RTS video game and that's the only thing I know about the game due to how stellar he is in the one cutscene I seen.

No diss on Curry, he just wasn't right for this.

Mark Hamill was just too perfect.

We needed Tim Curry as Hexxus in FernGully back in 1992

The right casting choices were made

There was no saving that movie, but if anyone could save that movie it was Tim Curry.

Yeah, he definitely sounds like DiMaggio in places. Like he was trying to not recognizably be Tim and settled on that quasi-Brooklyn accent John likes to use.

Fun fact: DiMaggio did voice the Joker in Under the Red Hood. And it was pretty good!
