Fresh word from the GameStop expo in Las Vegas is that Mark Hamill, voice of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and face of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, will have a starring role in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum video game. The role? The Joker, naturally. Hamill will bring his finely tuned maniacal giggle to the Rocksteady Games developed release that was announced last month by way of Game Informer.

While GI may have teased that info, Warner Bros. is said to have confirmed it today.

According to our tipster, you may be appearing in Batman: Arkham Asylum as well, as the company is holding a contest that will allow the winner to become an Arkham inmate in-game with your cell decked out with personal photos and wall scribbles. We're told to expect official confirmation on the matter sometime next week.

Sweet merciful fireballs of awesome! Word on the street says Mark Hamill, best known for playing Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker, will reprise another role he made famous — that of the villainous Joker for Rocksteady Games’ upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum video game.

For years, Hamill was the de facto voice for the Clown Prince of Crime in Batman: The Animated Series … and frankly, we think he’s given the best danged Joker performances to date. The man leaves Nicholson and Ledger in the frickkin’ dust with his maniacal laughter. Honestly, we pined for him to be cast as the baddie in the recent The Dark Knight flick — but this Arkham Asylum opportunity will likely be far cooler and memorable.

Game developer Rocksteady Games is pulling out all the stops for the new adventure, which will debut on the PS3, XBox 360 and PC platforms next year. Batman animation and comic book writer Paul Dini crafted the plot for Arkham Asylum, and Wildstorm Comics veterans helped with the concept art. The game takes place near — and in — the most infamous sanitarium in comics, Gotham’s Arkham Asylum.

The Joker has taken over the facility, but is in league with such rogues as Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy. It’ll be up to Batman — that’s you! — to use his detective skills to track the madhouse villains and subdue them.

According to Kotaku, which has been a wealth of great information about the game: “When combat is used, the emphasis will be on stealth and speed, and the game will only use three buttons: attack, stun and throw. Oh, and there’ll be boss battles too, some with a focus on combat, others playing out more like a Zelda boss battle, as you use particular tech or gadgets to bring them down.”

We’re digging that this game will feature element that tap Batman’s brawn and brains — but we’re especially tickled about Hamill’s upcoming appearance as the Joker. Of all the Batman villains, the Joker’s the best … and of all the Jokers, Hamill’s the best. Should be an awesome experience.
