"Great scot!" "Actually I'm Irish." - from TAS, not sure if he really is or was just messing with the guy.
Well, Tim Curry was originally cast as Joker in Batman: TAS. Studio heads heard his recordings though, and thought he was 'too sinister', so made Dini and Timm replace him. Fortunately, Mark Hamill was also recording parts for the show, and the rest is history.
I like to think Curry would have given Joker a British accent. Either that, or a reprise of his Pennywise voice.
Hamill-Joker has a Mid-Atlantic accent, which a lot of upper class people in the east coast used to have. Kind of an accent that could pass for American and British. Examples: Christopher Plummer, Roscoe Lee Browne (TAS Kingpin)

I think Penguin has had a Mid-Atlantic accent too. And full on Cockney in the Arkham games.

As long as he didn't do a southern accent. He can pull anything else off but his southern accent is pure shit.

Didn't sound British to me. Sounded more like that old-timey American accent you hear in old movies because its how acting schools taught people to talk (don't know the name for it). I guess its closer to a British accent than most American accents, but it's still American and not British.

I think Mad Hatter was British too, right?

no one in their right mind would pretend to be Irish four generations ago

It wasn't because he was too sinister, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm explained that he was able to do the menace, but wasn't able to pull off the manic playfulness that Joker has. Dini said his read sounded just like Captain Hook on Peter Pan and the Pirates.

That's Mid-Atlantic.

that's true, I couldn't see his Hook fitting at all as Joker.
