Batman: The Animated Series premiered in 1992 and redefined the Joker through Mark Hamill's voice performance, which became the definitive version for a generation of fans. His laugh was recorded in many variations for the show, from short giggles to long manic outbursts. Clips of the longest laughs later spread online as reaction audio and edits often pair it with the I'm Batman sound for classic hero versus villain scenes. It remains popular because Hamill's take balances cartoon humour with real menace.
