    Word is Brent Spiner may be the replacement, he's voicing him on Young Justice.

        ^Yeah, it's not like it's really a regular gig. He voices him every few years for one project or another. I know he's done the Joker in both Arkham video games.

        As long as Conroy doesn't quit Batman, I'll survive.

          There has never been a better voice for the Joker.
          Pay him more money, and be done with it.

          Quit ? To Do what ?

            I believe he said that before Arkham City came out also. I think if a really good project came along, he'd do it again.

            I'm surprised that DC hasn't made their next animated series an Arkham City translation. Seems like a no brainer to me. With the huge success of the 2 games, they would increase their viewership by huge numbers catering to both crowds. Get Conroy to star again and the fans would explode.

              Heck, after watching the game trailers and playing just a wee bit of the games themselves that a friend of mine has, I'd love to see the CGI stylized Arkham stuff make it onto the big screen as a Batman project. I think it would rock!

                  perhaps he was scared of being typecasted
                  After all it must have been hard on him doing conventions and everyone saying WOW he's the voice of the Joker
                  I think he wants to be known for another role perhaps a role in a major motion picture

                    Given the fact that this was the type of work Mark Hamill was doing between Star Wars and Batman, let's hope that isn't his aspirations at his age. He's very fortunate that lightning struck twice within his lifetime... Particularly since I think it was Tim Curry who was originally cast as the Joker in TAS.

                      Think of the absolute level of utter COOLNESS that would have been had if Tim Curry had actually played The Joker in a Batman film!!!

                        Curry was cast as the Joker in Warner Brothers' Batman: The Animated Series, and even recorded several episodes worth of dialogue. At the 1993 San Diego Comic-Con, Bruce Timm told a panel audience that Curry could not maintain the Joker voice for long, and would violently cough between takes, so he was replaced by Mark Hamill.
                        This might be why Hamill is retiring... It sounds like a tough voice on the vocal chords.

                          just get this guy

                          and stop getting so worked up about Mark Hammil. I never get the fanboys that get so bent out of shape when someone other than Kevin Conroy or Mark get cast in these parts.

                            ^^^ It's because there has never been a greater voice for Batman ever..... , When I read Batman in comics ..., I hear Conroy's voice when I read in my mind.
