Batman: The Killing Joke Review - 5 Ups And 6 Downs
Ups...5. Superb Voice Acting
Warner Bros.
For all of the things the film gets wrong, you absolutely cannot fault the majority of the voice acting, specifically the central Batman and Joker performances from industry legends Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Then again, this won't be a surprise to anyone who has seen a Batman animation before or played any of the Arkham video games.
Tara Strong also does solid work as Barbara, and Ray Wise impresses in his first vocal performance as Commissioner Gordon. Even when the film's not working, these aspects rarely falter, especially Hamill, who best captures the essence of the source material and knocks every single iconic Joker monologue straight out of the park.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
