Mark Hamill on Trump Tweets: "I Haven't Had Dialogue This Good" Since '90s 'Batman' Cartoon

Mark Hamill on Trump Tweets: "I Haven't Had Dialogue This Good" Since '90s 'Batman' Cartoon
The actor also remembers Mary Tyler Moore as a hero and former boss.
For the past few weeks, Mark Hamill has been taking President Donald Trump at his word.
Hamill has released three recordings as The Trumpster — a supervillain alter ego in which Hamill reads Trump's tweets in the voice of the Joker, the villain the actor has voiced in the DC animated universe since 1992.
"As a voiceover actor, you recognize good dialogue — and I haven't had dialogue this good since Paul Dini," Hamill tells Heat Vision, referring to the Batman: The Animated Series writer and co-creator of Harley Quinn, who penned some of the actor's finest words as the Joker. "He's my favorite Batman writer and one of my all-time favorite writers."
The Trumpster project was sparked when comedian Matt Oswalt shared a New Year's Eve tweet from Trump, tweeting, "This sounds like something the Joker would say right before releasing a swarm of killer bees into Gotham." People instantly began requesting Hamill to make Oswalt's dreams come true, and the actor says the idea made him laugh.
