Mark Hamill Gives Good Villainy


I wish I'd gotten to see Mark Hamill onstage in Amadeus, but at least I've gotten to enjoy his voicework as the Joker in Batman:The Animated Series (you lucky gamers have gotten to hear him reprise the role in Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City)

He says he's done playing the Joker.

A moment of silence.

However, he has brought his talents to a new role in a new animated series on Disney XD called Motorcity.

I've fallen hard for Motorcity because of the animation which is just fantastic, a hot-rod and graffiti hallucination. The linework is alive with indie-comics grit, each moment crammed with detail, depth, and color. Here, lookit: Motorcity Animation Preview

The voice cast as a whole is great, worthy Mark Hamill's villain Abraham Kane...a big, bad man with a big voice full of verve and nuance.
