The Clown Prince of Crime Gets a New Voice The casting of Matthew Needham as the voice actor for the Joker in Season 2 of "Batman: Caped Crusader" has sent shockwaves through the fan community, largely due to its departure from tradition.
Needham, best known for his role as Lord Steffon Baratheon in HBO's hit series "House of the Dragon", brings a level of depth to the character that was hinted at but not fully explored by John DiMaggio in the Season 1 finale.
The choice of Needham is significant because it recognizes the Joker's importance as a cultural icon.
