Sad news for the Batman community - Mark Hamill confirmed to IGN that he will be playing the Joker one last time for Batman Arkham Asylum 2.

"This will be my last, there's no question about that," Hamill told IGN. "But it's the last hurrah."

"When they said, 'We want you to come back [to the role of The Joker] and do Arkham,' I said the same; 'I left on a high note, I don't think we could ever top that,'" he recalled. "But they said, 'We got Paul Dini,' who was my favourite ever Joker writer, 'and Kevin Conroy,' who I love. This was a real reunion and a very pleasant experience. So of course I relented, but I had no idea it would have the impact it did."

As for the challenges presented by the Joker of "Arkham Asylum," Hamill said: "In Arkham Asylum, since it wasn't based on the animated version, it was as nasty and gnarly as it could be, since it was aimed at an older audience. So it gave me a way to justify The Joker."
