Goofing around in the world of PAPER HEROES. Tim Curry is remembered as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (El Show de Terror de Rocky, 1975), Darkness in Legend (Legend, 1985), Pennywise in It (It, 1990), the Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers (The Three Musketeers, 1993) and many more roles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Curry_performances).

He was originally selected to lend his voice to The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series (Batman: The Animated Series, 1992-1995), recording a few episodes, but Mark Hamill later replaced him.

In an interview with ScreenGeek (https://www.screengeek.net/2017/09/02/tim-curry-reveals-why-mark-hamill-replaced-him-as-joker/) published in 2017, the British actor said, “I played Joker for a while, but I had bronchitis, got fired, and Mark Hamill was hired. This is life”.

According to ComicBook.com (https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/tim-currys-lost-joker-voice-from-batman-the-animated-series-surfaces/), a fan shared a video and explained, “In a recent documentary with Batman TAS, they released some of Tim Curry’s Joker footage before he was replaced by Mark Hamill. I cleaned up and enhanced the audio recordings of him a bit while trying to sync them up with better material.”

For his audition as the voice of the Clown Prince of Crime, Hamill received the note: “Don’t think about Jack Nicholson.” He has represented her in various DC Comics projects, including the television series Birds of Prey (2002-2003).
