Bonus Video! Tim Curry's Joker vs Mark Hamill's Joker (Patreon)

Hello there! In this week's bonus video, we're taking a look at a ~mystery~ surrounding Batman: The Animated Series. Why did they replace Tim Curry with Mark Hamill to play the Joker? Well, that depends on who you ask. Also: how the team behind the show Gargoyles wanted to make their show more like Batman: TAS, and the very smart response of voice director Andrea Romano. We'll delve into the unlikely inspiration for the Joker's maniacal laugh.

AND! If you're a fan of mysteries and Stephen Sondheim, you probably already know that Sondheim wrote a murder-mystery in the 1970s called The Last of Sheila. That movie was one of the primary inspirations for Rian Johnson's film Glass Onion, and this Wednesday (Dec 21) me & my YouTube-neighbor Matt Colville will be getting on a livestream to discuss The Last of Sheila, Sondheim, and the unlikely connection between musicals and mysteries. I hope you'll join us for that over on Twitch! It's happening on Wednesday Dec 21 at 6pm pacific/9pm eastern at twitch.tv/matthew_colville.
