As if we needed any more reason to love CW’s The Flash, they now bring us what looks to be an amazing, chilling performance from Mark Hamill as The Joker The Trickster, a role Mr. Hamill originally created twenty years ago on the original Flash series, that saw John Wesley Shipp as the titular character. USA Today released this exclusive clip to get us all really excited for tonight’s episode.
In this current incarnation, Hamill’s character, James Jesse, has been in prison for twenty years and is now helping Barry Allen and Detective Joe West track down a copycat criminal who’s apparently stolen all of his tech-awesome gear and is now terrorizing the city under the same name of “The Trickster.”
If you don’t get chills listening to his voice in this, you’re not human.
Also, the CW released this featurette about the show tonight and how excited all of them are because Mark Hamill.
A copycat killer who goes by the name “The Trickster” (guest star Devon Graye) starts setting off bombs in Central City. In order to stop the villain, Barry (Grant Gustin) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) meet with the original Trickster, a criminal mastermind named James Jesse (guest star Mark Hamill), who has been imprisoned for 20 years. Things quickly go from bad to worse when the Tricksters unite and take Henry (John Wesley Shipp) prisoner. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) asks Eddie (Rick Cosnett) for help with a case, and flashbacks show how Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) came up with the idea for the particle accelerator. Ralph Hemecker directed the episode written by Andrew Kreisberg (#117).
