Among the many formidable actors who have tackled playing the Joker, DC Comics' most recognizable villain, fans often hold up two names as the live-action gold standard. Depending on who you ask, the standard favorites are Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's Batman or Heath Ledger's Academy Award-winning turn in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.
✕ Remove Ads Mark Hamill's Live-Action Joker Appearance Is Brief but Impactful Close Hamill cameos in Birds of Prey's pilot episode, specifically during a flashback explaining Barbara's spinal cord injury and her subsequent transition from Batgirl, a street-level superheroine, to Oracle, who watches over New Gotham from her office in the Gotham Clocktower. Years before Birds of Prey's present-day timeline, Batman destroys the Joker's criminal empire.
Even though Birds of Prey marks Hamill's foray from animated to live-action Joker, technically, he still only provides the character's trademark sound; actor and stunt performer Roger Stoneburner is behind the Joker's striking onscreen visage. Hamill dubbed Stoneburner's lines in post-production and received sole official billing, with Stoneburner's physical work going uncredited.
