Hamill, who earlier said he won't be voicing The Joker after doing it for 18 years in various DC animated TV shows, movies, and video games, agreed to voice the villain in the film which was announced at the comic-Con, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland, "The Killing Joke" comic is famous for dealing with a cruel fate to Batgirl Barbara Gordon.
