An app summoned driver shows up for their passenger, who turns out to be none other than the famous Creator/MarkHamill.

Unfortunately the real driver has been replaced by none other than the Joker and the lesser known Trickster, working together for some unknown reason to kidnap the star and ransom him.

As the car roars off, the Trickster admits to being a big fan and loving Hamill in his great role: a young man coming of age and learning who he is while fighting against the odds: Film/CorvetteSummer.

Before long the partnership begins to break up as Joker and Trickster keep hearing the other toss insults. It turns out to be Hamill himself using his skills to uncannily mimic their voices. As a result, Joker drives the car wildly into a park, where Swamp Thing was apparently aware of the activity and stops the car. He plucks the villains free and wraps them up in vines for the police.

A completely unharmed Mark Hamill gets out of the car to thank the hero. Swamp Thing compliments him for quick thinking and smugly tells the villains that Mark is also a brilliant voice actor.
