Warner Bros. Modifies Crisis on Infinite Earths Episode 3 to Encompass Mark Hamill's Joker Portrayal
Hey there!
Fans of DC Universe took a trip down memory lane last month with the final part of Warner Bros. Animation's adaption of Crisis on Infinite Earths, marking the true swan song of the legendary Kevin Conroy as Batman. But something peculiar caught the eyes (or ears) of the dedicated DC Animated Universe enthusiasts — the Joker Conroy's animated Batman was square dancing with a joker whose voice didn't sound like legendary Mark Hamill.
And they were right, as it turned out that the Joker wasn't Hamill, despite Warner confirming that he'd reprise his role in the film even though he had taken a step back from voicing the infamous villain in recent years.
Amidst the chaos, Reddit users picked up on the discrepancy, with eagle-eyed fans noticing that digital copies of Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three received a slight tweak. The scene set in the Batman: The Animated Series universe was now updated, including a "shiny new" VO of Hamill as the Joker. To get a taste of the comparison, dive into the tumultuous world of DC enthusiasts on Reddit.
Turns out, their vigilance paid off. In an official statement, it was revealed that a "manufacturing issue" had left a "temporary voice over" in the final version of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three. The erroneous portrayal of the Joker was apparently the result of this error, affecting the film's quality. Thankfully, digital versions of the film have been corrected, essential for fanboy closure.
Physical copy owners will need to get in touch with Warner Home Video via [email protected] if they noticed the temporary version in their collection. By now, the ending tribute to Kevin Conroy's Batman and Mark Hamill's Joker should be as smooth and sleek as it was intended to be.
Here's a round-up of what's happening in the world of Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who, for all you pop culture aficionados out there. Stay tuned for updates on the latest releases, upcoming projects, and plenty more exciting news.
