Recently, Hamill took to Twitter to celebrate the 27th Anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series.
I went to Broadway in search of challenging character roles, only to find one of the most rewarding & enduring of them all- in this series. Without #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries, my career would have no punchline… 🦇#HappyAnniversaryBATSY Mad❤️from The🃏 https://t.co/gg4fJWdnZb

It was also recently announced that Conroy will be showing up during The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” which is expected to be the biggest crossover event in the Arrowverse’s history. He isn’t the only longtime DC Animated Universe presence that fans wanted to see in the upcoming event. Hamill has also been requested as the Joker in the crossover numerous times. Conroy even responded to those pleas and said that it would be cool to see on-screen.
“Crisis on Infinite Earths” will air on The CW this winter.
