There is so much yes attached to this.....

Before Annihilation Earth, I once theorized that Mark Hamill is going to be Bishop. That is, until that episode revealed that the current Bishop is an Utrom, voiced by Nolan North, KSP's brother, and the one who originally created the human disguise.

That's pretty cool, just posted that all over twitter and on the TMNT reddit. :)

Awesome news

Cool, man! So he'll be in the season 5 premier. Maybe certain people can shut up about the Ninja Tribunal stuff now?

No.

AKA Hothead, according to Brandon! Guess he'll change forms & stuff. Pretty cool.

Kind of a fitting time considering the Force Awakens is coming out tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if he made a Star Wars reference. "A long time ago in a world far, far away..."

According NickALive Kavaxas is "hotheaded dragon-man with mystical powers who partners with some of the Turtles’ worst foes to bring chaos to NYC".

I bet he has fire powers.

Season 5 sounds like its going to be mystical. I wouldn't be surprised if some aspects of the Ninja Tribunal season were adapted with a new twist. Dragons, powers, mystic stuff?

Sounds very familiar.

Big names being associated with the franchise is always good publicity.

Excellent news


Is this a new character or an established one?

It would seem both. Seems like a new character inspired by Hothead (which I guess is an alias Mikey will use for him).

I wonder if they'll use Dragon Lord from the Next Mutation now, if there's more than one dragon in this season.

Yeah, that's what this show needs. References to the only TMNT show worse than this one.

what do you mean they have done tons of references to Fred Wolf already :lol:

Is this a season 4 or season 5 villian?

He'll appear in Season 5.

Star Wars. Star Wars! STAR WARS!!!

WE JUST CAN'T ESCAPE THE INSANITY!!!

Because Mark Hammil is only known for Star Wars, right?

Its not as if he voiced the most popular incarnation of Joker for 20+ years or anything, or did numerous other voice roles in various cartoons.

That's adorable.

It's not like a new Star Wars movie came out and is most likely the reason this got announced which could be why JTH mentioned it so much.

It's not like other people can associate actors with a single role they did that was more meaningful to them.

My question is, why do they bring up this character for season 5 when they have 22 more episodes of season 4 to make? I mean it's cool that they may have a Battle Nexus type arc in store, but shouldn't they be focusing on the now?

I just freaked out when I saw this. I was just thinking recently that it'd be so cool if Mark Hamill voiced a character on the show. I'm just Star Wars crazy at the moment :D. It doesn't help that I'm on holidays from university at the moment either. No distractions from Star Wars. I'm dying to see the new movie.

Of course not, it's just that Hammil's returning for The Force Awakens, which came out today. Since he's teaming up with Shredder, that means two Jokers will team up as Kevin Michael Richardson was the voice of Joker on "The Batman".

Uh, to tie in with Star Wars promo, duh.

^^ I'd have to agree.
Also NEAT!!

About damn time they cast Mark on the show; at one point Mark was actually the guy I wanted to have voice the so far lackluster Lord Dregg before Peter Stormare became his voice. Ever since beginning the show, he's the one guy I wanted cast on the show (Josh Keaton is also a contender) and now I get my wish.

Awesome. The new villain looks badass.

Mark's Joker on The Batman from what I've heard at an interview really darkened his voice compared to the Original Trilogy, and this looks to be another smart move by the PR team, right up with the Turtles In Space arc occurring at this point. And now, with the countless SW references since the OT, who knows if we WON'T get one. Awesome character design overall that makes me look forward to this story!

According to rumors I'm hearing, Hamill won't actually speak any lines for the part. They're bringing him on simply to make bizarrely emotive facial expressions.

:lol:

Mark Hamil in TMNT....that's... just awesome. He's one of my fave Joker's next to Cesar Romero. :D

hothead!! about time!

Awesome... Mark has a lot going on this year and next so to see him do a tmnt role like this on top of it all is really bonkers

AWESOME! Mark is EASILY the greatest Joker ever. FORever. I can't wait to hear him.

Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill defined the arch nemesis by only lending their voice. That is what truly makes it amazing. I have wondered what they would look like dressed as their characters. Any time getting to hear their voices is a treat.

Watch "The Flash", Season 2 Episode 9 "Running to Stand Still." You'll get all the live-action Mark Hamill Jokery madness you could ever want.
