<p>MultiVersus makes its <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2024/03/11/multiversus-is-back-in-action-this-may">grand return</a> on May 28, and a new trailer reveals that the Joker is joining the roster. Even better, Mark Hamill is voicing the Clown Prince of Crime once more.</p>

<p>Though we don’t see gameplay, a cinematic trailer sets up a dramatic confrontation (and likely emotional reunion for fans) between Batman, voiced in the game by the late Kevin Conroy, and his archnemesis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This marks the first game to feature both Batman: The Animated Series actors together as their respective characters since 2018’s <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/lego-dc-super-villains/its-quite-good-to-be-bad">Lego DC Super Villans</a>. Conroy passed away in 2022, and prior to 2024's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, MultiVersus was the final game to feature his Batman performance. Following his death, Hamill had alluded to <a href="https://screenrant.com/batman-joker-mark-hamill-return-no-explained/">retiring the Joker</a>&nbsp;role for good. However, dataminers uncovered Joker’s existence in MultiVersus in 2022 and found audio files revealing Hamill’s performance. This means he likely recorded his lines before Conroy’s passing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joker is the first new character to join the existing line-up of fighters, but he won't be the last. We're curious to see who else joins the fray after MultiVersus re-launches on May 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.&nbsp;</p>
