Mark Hamill read Donald Trump's tweets in his creepiest Joker voice, and it works FAR too well

Hamill has voiced the Joker in the Batman animated series for over two decades. He knows a villain when he sees one.

DONALD TRUMP JUST loves to tweet. Loves it.

The President-Elect has a very idiosyncratic way of expressing himself on Twitter, often referring to his ‘haters’ and ‘enemies’, like in this New Year’s wish:

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!

Mark Hamill is obviously best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films, but he’s also voiced the Joker in the Batman animated series and video games for a whopping 26 years.

Writer Matt Oswalt observed that Trump’s New Year’s tweet sounded a lot like something the Joker would say, and floated the idea of Hamill reading it out in his villain voice:

BILLION DOLLAR IDEA: an App that you can feed every Trump tweet into that plays it back in @HamillHimself Joker voice. You're welcome.

Hamill was only too happy to oblige.

Everyone is wondering if this will put Hamill on the list of Trump’s ‘many enemies’. It doesn’t take much, to be fair:

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Ah Mark, you’re well able for him. The Force is on your side.
