Star Wars legend Mark Hamill reveals his favourite Batman

mark hamill chooses his best batman and it is his longtime collaborator kevin conroy
Mark Hamill, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars movies and voicing the Joker in Batman animated series, animated movies and games, has declared who is his favourite Batman actor. No, it is not Christian Bale or Ben Affleck or any live-action Batman. It is none other than Kevin Conroy, the voice-actor who is by far the most well-known voice for the caped crusader. He played the masked vigilante through only his voice but gave the DC icon a gravitas and solemnity that is now widely associated with him.
Conroy’s Batman voice, a rich, measured baritone, is as well-known as Hamill’s manic and gleeful Joker voice. They are polar opposites and perfectly complement each other. Both the actors have worked together extensively in various animated series, countless animated movies and video-games.
In an introduction Hamill has written for the book The Joker: A Visual History of the Clown Prince of Crime by Daniel Wallace, Hamill says, “They say a hero is only as good as his villain and I believe the reverse is also true. And I had the best: Kevin Conroy. With his effortless and distinct characterizations of Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, he will always be my Batman and a loyal friend.” Hamill posted the images of the introduction on his Twitter handle.

You deserve all the praise you’ve received. You’re brilliant in the role and I know you make me a better Batman. You’re the best!

It was truly an honor to be entrusted to play the character in the original Batman:TAS back in '92. I had no idea at the time the impact it would have on my career or how it would be received by Bat-fans worldwide- but it's the gift that keeps on giving! 🃏 https://twitter.com/TheAnimatedBat/status/1013539206151524352 …

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
