Line #11 Recap/JusticeLeagueActionS1E14MissingtheMark


1	An app summoned driver shows up for their passenger, who turns out to be none other than the famous Creator/MarkHamill.
2
3	Unfortunately, the real driver has been replaced by none other than the Joker and the lesser known Trickster, working together for some unknown reason to kidnap the star and ransom him.
4
5	As the car roars off, the Trickster admits to being a big fan and loving Hamill in his greatest role: a young man coming of age and learning who he is while fighting against the odds: ''Film/CorvetteSummer''.
6
7	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.
8
9	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.
10
11	->'''Joker:''' [confused] ...What's a voice actor?
12
13	----
14	!!Tropes:
15	* ActingForTwo: Well, ''four'', actually. Hamill voice-acted AsHimself and the other three characters in this short.
16	* ActorAllusion: Of course Creator/MarkHamill is able to impersonate the voices of Joker and Trickster, given he's the voice actor of both.
17	* AsHimself: In addition to Joker, Trickster and Swamp Thing, Creator/MarkHamill plays famous actor Mark Hamill, who has been kidnapped by the former two.
18	* BaitAndSwitchComment: The "70's classic" that Trickster talks about sounds like it's supposed to be ''Franchise/StarWars'', but he actually means ''Film/CorvetteSummer''. To drive the point home, as he says it, a few notes of the background music shift to sound like Luke Skywalker's theme, only to stop dead when he says the name of the movie.
19	* BatmanGambit: Mark imitates the villains' voices to get them to fight so that the car will get onto some grass, correctly banking on Swamp Thing making an appearance. Swamp Thing commends this gambit.
20	* CelebrityParadox: Invoked. Joker and Trickster kidnap their own voice actor, Creator/MarkHamill, who uses his voice acting skills to impersonate the two villains and trick them. Swamp Thing who later rescues him is voice by Mark Hamill too.
21	* EvilerThanThou: Joker smugly reminds Trickster which one of them is the second-string villain in this outfit.
22	* IShallTauntYou: Except because Hamill can sound exactly like each/both of them, Trickster and Joker each believe the other is the one doing the taunting.
23	* MilestoneCelebration: for Mark Hamill's involvement in the DCAU. The short was released in 2017, which was the 25th anniversary of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
24	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Mark Hamill uses his voice acting talents to outwit a pair of supervillains.
25	* PunnyTitle: On multiple levels. At the cost of DontExplainTheJoke:
26	** The term "missing the mark" itself.
27	** A "mark" is a term for the target of a con or other criminal action.
28	** The actor's first name being Mark.
29	* {{Ventriloquism}}: Hamill uses ventriloquism to turn Joker and Trickster against each other to distract them long enough for Swamp Thing to rescue him.
30	* VoiceChangeling: Hamill gets Joker and Trickster to fight each other by imitating their voices (which is pretty easy, since he's the voice actor of both.
