He is best known for starring as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise and the Joker in various animated DC Comics projects, starting with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. Through the 1980s, Hamill distinguished himself from his Star Wars role by pursuing a Broadway theatre career, starring in productions of The Elephant Man, Amadeus and The Nerd. His other live-action film and television roles include Kenneth W. Dantley Jr. in Corvette Summer (1978), Private Griff in The Big Red One (1980), Crow in Sushi Girl (2012), Ted Mitchum in Brigsby Bear (2017), and Arthur Pym in the Netflix miniseries The Fall of the House of Usher (2023). Hamill has also had a prolific career as a voice actor. Aside from Joker, his roles include the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1995–1998), Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008), Mr. Salacia and Senator Stampingston in Metalocalypse (2006–2013, 2023), and Skips in Regular Show (2010–2017).
The series opens with a battle against several supervillains in Kansas. Though Superman of the JLA tries to defuse the crisis, a new generation of antiheroes causes the fight to descend into chaos. The harsh and violent crimefighter Magog faces off against the villains' leader, the Major Force. When Major Force is wounded, his subsequent rampage sees Kansas devastated and much of the American Midwest left an irradiated waste. During his ten-year retirement from superheroics, Clark Kent lives at a new farm with Lois on the borders of the Kansas ruins. During this time she befriends minister Norman McKay, who is undergoing visions of a coming superhuman conflict. Norman is the narrator of the story with a unique connection to the Spectre, who stands by passing judgment on the human and superhuman world. The new and violent generation of antiheroes eventually causes Clark to rethink his retirement. In this case, his successor Superwoman (formerly Supergirl) has kept up the fight and become rivals with not just Magog, but the roguish Manchester Black. Black, a violent vigilante who has nothing but contempt for "relic" heroes of the past, sees violence as the quick and simple solution to fighting crime and acts as a toxic influence on the more popular Magog. Returning to action, Superman dons a black 'S' shield in mourning of the Midwest disaster, allying with Superwoman and Wonder Woman to rebuild the JLA.
