Before Mark Hamill, Tim Curry almost played the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, and his voice was perfect
The late actor was essentially replaced for being "too good at his job"
Batman: The Animated Series is a platformer that originally launched on Game Boy in 1993. The property has now returned with a new release titled Enemies of Gotham City, bringing the animated series' characters back to gaming.
Recent coverage has focused on the show's production history, particularly how casting decisions shaped the adaptation. Discussion has centered on the near-casting of Tim Curry as the Joker before Mark Hamill took the role, with coverage suggesting Curry's performance was deemed too effective for the character's intended direction.
