Warner Bros. Updates Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 to Actually Include Mark Hamill’s Joker Performance

Last month, DC fans tearily watched a poignant scene in the third and final part of Warner Bros. Animation’s adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths: the true final performance of Kevin Conroy as Batman, recorded just before his death. But as wonderful as a send-off as it was for one of the greatest actors to ever play the Dark Knight, they noticed something was off: the Joker Conroy’s animated Batman was brawling with didn’t sound like Mark Hamill.

And they were right. Because it wasn’t, despite Warner having confirmed that Hamill would reprise his role in the film alongside Conroy, even though he had largely retired from voicing the Joker in recent years.

Over the weekend users on the DC Animated Universe subreddit noticed that digital copies of Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three had received a small update, noticing that the scene set in the Batman: The Animated Series universe was now updated to include “new” VO of Hamill as the Joker. You’ll have to click through to Reddit to hear the new version, contrasted with the original release, yourself.

“Due to a manufacturing issue, a temporary voice over was inadvertently left in the final version of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three, affecting the character of the Joker,” a statement provided to io9 confirming the update reads in part. “Digital versions of the film have been proactively corrected and have replaced the incorrect version of the film in users’ accounts.”

Anyone who purchased a physical copy of the film when it released last month featuring the temporary voice over can contact Warner Home video directly, at [email protected], to receive a replacement copy. But at least now, the final farewell to one of the all-time takes on the Batman and Joker is as complete as it was intended to be.
