Mark Hamill Not Joking -- Officially Retires From Doing The Joker

Mark Hamill said a while back that his performance in Batman: Arkham City would be his last as the Joker. Now, as a Batman fan, I hoped that he wasn't serious - he's the Joker that I grew up with, and I think he's the best one. Well, as much as it pains me to admit, it looks like he was indeed serious. Hamill took to his Twitter to say his goodbye to the Clown Prince of Crime.

"Hello/Goodbye Joker! I've enjoyed every minute behind the wheel of the Crown Prince's crazy car- I'm going to miss him more than I can say!!"

As for who can fill his clown shoes, I'm completely at a loss. Maybe you guys have some ideas? Share them with us in the comments section below.

And to sum up my feelings, I'll just leave you with this (meta, huh?):

If I remember right, he said Arkham Asylum was going to be his last. He said he wanted to leave on a high note or something. Maybe he knows the plight of franchise games and/or milking said franchises to death. Honestly I think he left at the perfect moment with Arkham City and while I wish he would continue to do the work, I can't help but think how any future works with the Joker may end up somehow leaving the position unfulfilled. Just because he's the best guy for the job doesn't mean someone will always write the best lines or the best story for the character.
