I have nothing but respect for Mark Hamill’s voice work – the Batman series is one of the few quality programs ever to come out of the American television animation industry – but I have to confess: watching Mark be someone other than Skywalker is almost physically painful. He’s just too deeply embedded in my psyche as the boy from Tatooine. It’s very hard to watch this guy talk about voice-acting and driving in LA when every few seconds I catch a glimpse of the guy who DEFEATED DARTH FUCKING VADER. It’s jarring, to say the least.
His voice talent on this role is so incredible, it’s ridiculous – especially in the game, Arkham Asylum. But I agree with you. It’s hard not to see the Skywalker thing. It was almost weirder seeing Princess Leia on 30 Rock.
