Willem Dafoe as the JOKER • EPIC VOICE IMPRESSION

Published 2022-04-24
Full kudos to @ChazzRavenelle for taking on a barrage of lightning bolts to the brain for coming up with this delicious mashup! Its like The Lighthouse meets The Batman! Haha I immediately got to work on voice matching Willem Dafoe as if he was cast opposite of Robert Pattinson’s Batman! Yes I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude! A ton of my style and writing was infused into this and I truly enjoyed the process. For the artwork, I retrofitted a Dafoe Joker I had made some time ago so that he is more in line with the Matt Reeves Batverse. Which was easy because Dafoe already has the perfect face reminiscent of the man who laughs! Also the guy IS the Smile Man!
The care and investment Chazz put into this experience goes way above any production titles I could possibly use to describe what he did. He went beyond the call of a music composer, sound designer, animator and visual effects editor. Even when this video was audio only at first he made my voice shine through. He knew every tune and motif represented in The Batman by Michael Giacchino. THIS theme is the most involved piece of music Chazz has EVER done and it compliments Riddlers and Batman’s perfectly! Total deconstructive ingenuity! He was patient and had incredible knowledge to share whenever I had any questions! Seeing just a glimpse of the technical side of the visual components was so rewarding, let alone experiencing the finalized version! THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARE FUEL HAHAHA Many of you will be entranced by it, with his hypnotic vampire stare! Extremely grateful to meet the moment and deliver artwork and a voice performance only Chazz knows how to elevate. I wouldn’t have been able to embark on this journey without you brother. Thank YOU!

“I'm something of a psychopath myself.”

Man Willem Dafoe would have been so perfect as Joker, his voice sounds so similar to Mark Hamill's sometimes
-
One thing I like about having an older Joker like a hypothetical Dafoe's paired against a younger Batman (Battinson) in this setup is that it almost makes Joker a mentor-like figure. A twisted one, but a mentor nonetheless, almost like a guide in this new world of madness that people like the Batman or the Riddler live in. Which I guess is essentially exactly what the original Hannibal Lecter-Clarice Starling dynamic was in Silence of the Lambs, which is clearly where this scene (and many others) got its inspiration.

This is so good, I love the voice, the sound design and animation. Now I really want Dafoe to play the Joker. Fantastic job as always, Nick!

“In spite of everything you’ve done for them, eventually they will hate you”
-
I’m actually gonna cry tears of joy. He would’ve been the most terrifying joker ever. The laugh will scary us all.
-
Haunting performance my guy. You nailed Dafoe!
-
I am convinced that we were robbed of this. Love Barry but honestly would have been cool to see Willem Dafoe play Joker It's like ingrained into his DNA.
-
This was way better than the actual deleted scene bravo
-
I’ve always wanted Dafoe to play joker. Now I got the closet I could get. Amazing job! As always
-
BRAVO!!!! As someone who has always wanted Dafoe as Joker, you literally brought that dream to life with just your voice! And that laugh 😍 So good , man.
-
"You're a fascinating creature, Batman. You and I are not so different."
-
I literally got chills from this… outstanding job!
-
Somebody send this Matt Reeves Willem Dafoe HAS to be the Joker
-
Not casting Willem Defoe as the Joker in Matt Reeves’ movie was such a missed opportunity for this new legendary franchise.
-
Joker:We are so much alike Batman: I'm not like you you're a murder Joker: well to each his own.
-
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL HOLY FUCK! ITS SO REMINISCENT AS ARKHAMVERSE JOKER TOO you did an excellent job
-
“You know, I’m something of a Joker myself”
-
Now i wanna see you try this with the Knightmare scene from the Snyder cut! I always felt like Dafoe would have been a better parallel to Affleck.
-
Willem Dafoe would've been awesome as the Joker 🃏
