Troy Baker Returns as 'The Joker in Batman: The Long Halloween Part Two'

Troy Baker Returns as The Joker in 'Batman: The Long Halloween Part Two' available today on Digital and Blu-Ray from Warner Home Entertainment.

Troy Baker is the only man to ever voice Batman and the Joker in 2019's Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

However, this go around, the Joker isn't the belle of the ball as he is relegated to a secondary character to Calendar Man, no less. This makes our Clown Prince of Crime jealous of what appears to be...and using a 1940s term...from Batman's Best Girl to just another chippy.

Baker explains how the Joker's involvement with the Long Halloween is still a significant role, even though it is not the primary one. This also feels like a Batman: Year Two type story, showing the brilliance in the original graphic novel by Jeff Loeb and Tim Sales as well as the adaptation for the animation by Tim Sheridan.

We discuss how sometimes it is difficult to read the book then watch the movie and vice versa, but how Batman: The Long Halloween Part One and Two can be an easy introduction into the Batman mythos of the animated features or the comics, without having to catch up on 80 plus years of the printed word and images.

Baker has been a fan favorite in not only all his other voices, but that of Batman going back to Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite, where he also voiced Two-Face.
