The Joker is coming MultiVersus as part of the fighting game’s relaunch later this month, and actor Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Clown Prince of Crime for the occasion. Developer Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games showed off Joker in a new gameplay trailer that includes another fun surprise: the Powerpuff Girls are coming to MultiVersus also.
While we don’t see Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles in action, the Powerpuff Girls are teased within the first few seconds of Monday’s trailer for Joker. Presumably they’ll fight as a team, à la MultiVersussmart take on Tom and Jerry, but we’ll have to wait for the girls’ full reveal to know for sure.
The Joker is a character from the Mage class MultiVersus terms, meaning he’s more of a ranged fighter who relies on weapons and gadgets to deal damage. In Joker’s case, he will join the roster armed with a pogo stick, spring-loaded boxing gloves, a rocket launcher, balloons and cartoonish cannons. Its first gameplay trailer also shows off a number of alternate looks, including Dark Prince Charming and Batman Who Laughs.
Hamill’s return to the Joker role reunites him with his own Batman: The Animated Series co-star Kevin Conroy, who voiced it MultiVersus‘version of the Caped Crusader. Hamill never really moved on from his version of Joker, voicing him in recent animated films and video games such as Batman: The murder joke And Lego DC supervillains. (Hamill hasn’t been providing the voice for the new, younger Joker from the alternate universe lately Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League update.)
MultiVersus returns on May 28. The game has been offline for almost a year as developer Player First worked on redesigning the Smash Bros. inspired brawler and creating new content for it.
Joker will join a roster that also includes DC’s Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn and Black Adam; Scooby-Doo’s Shaggy and Velma; Bugs Bunny, Tasmanian Devil and Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes; Game of Thrones‘Arya Stark; Tom and Jerry; Adventure Time‘s Finn the Human and Jake the Dog; Steven Universe and Garnet; Iron Giant; Space Jam: A New Legacy‘LeBron James; Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith; Gremlins‘Gizmo and Streep; And MultiVersus‘original character Reindog.
