Arkham City's voice of Batman not returning for Arkham Origins

WHY RUINED THE GAME?Why??????...

No original voice actors
Not made by rocksteady
Multiplayer!?

Wow, this game lost a customer before it even started. That is very rare...

No Rocksteady=No Buy. I can already see WB screwing up Origins. There track record for games is not good. If Rocksteady wasn't going do Origins than you don't freaking make the game.

This game is a prequel, so I understand that the younger Batman can't have the same voice as the older one. But why not hire Kevin Conroy and then just use some computer software to high pitch the voice a little bit and everyone's happy

Well, it was fun while it lasted. No Kevin Conroy + no Mark Hamill + no Rocksteady = no Buy for me.

Fine with me as long as the new actor is good & the gameplay is good.

As long as the new guy does not sound as bad as Christian Bale's batman voice I'll be pretty happy

@PSYCHOV3N0M

He'll voice Solid Snake, but Solid Snake won't be in the game.
Hayter hasn't always voiced Big Boss though. It makes sense they had someone else do it. They should have done that from the beginning.

@PSYCHOV3N0M

Some people say he's better, others will refuse to accept anyone else other than Hamill. I'd say he IS better. You would "argue" he isn't. Wow, is it that hard to understand the concept of a word.

@PSYCHOV3N0M

The guy from Injustice was better.

They didn't kill off anyone, the fanboys just refuse to give anyone else a chance.

If the Conroy/Hamill fanboys got there way, Batman and The Joker would NEVER appear in animations or games ever again. And then all the REAL Batman and Joker fans would probably hunt you down and kill you for ruining their characters.

@PSYCHOV3N0M

He hasn't ALWAYS played Batman. There are animated Batmans that DON'T use Conroy as the voice. The Brave and the Bold is one. that ran for 3 years (2008-2011) with someone else as the voice of Batman.

He's not THE BEST. He's just what you lot are used to hearing. There are probably plenty of better voice actors out their. And some will probably do a better job in the role. But you'll never know if you aren't willing to accept it and give someone else a chance.

Get over it and grow up. I bet Conroy himself would be ashamed by all you Conroy fanboys. How about being a Batman fan first, and a Conroy fan second.

Guys, I understand the skepticism coming from most of you who commented. To me also Kevin Conroy is a legend, but I must recommend you to watch the animated version of Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One". Benjamin McKenzie put up a great performance there and since the developers of the game have already stated that Year One is one of their main inspirations, I believe he is a suitable choice. :)

NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly don't care who voices him, it's a game not a movie, so it's all about the gameplay for me. The only thing that has potential to be gamebreaking is the multiplayer...

Oh well, nothing of importance to me here. If there's something that's going to affect the gameplay, then let me know. Hell, I barely remember what the voice sounded like from the first two games.

I guess i can live with Joker's soundanimator changing. But come on! Strip Batman from his gadgets, and it's going to be as lame, as new 007 movies like Skyfall and QoS are. I don't want to see how Batman became the bat. Batman Begins movie allready did that, perfectly. I want some puresteel Arkham gameplay. Not some sissying around.

wtf is this???how dare you???you just dont wanna pay the big cashet to conroy and Hammil first was the fucking multiplayer now this??I have a bad feeling about this game.

Conroy's natural speaking voice could already pass for a young Batman, and I'm pretty sure a voice actor can handle simply sounding a bit younger...

Big mistake. BIG mistake.

Conroy HAS done a younger sounding Batman and Bruce Wayne on at least two occasions that I can recall. "Mask of the Phantasm" and a few episodes of TAS Batman. Conroy CAN do a younger Batman.

No Hamil, no Conroy, no Batman. Sorry. But this game already has a very big strike against it.

Conroy IS the voice of Batman. That is it.

Makes sense. Hopefully whoever they get will be good.

christian bale would be good . muahahahhaha

This game is a farce. First they ditch the original studio. Then they shove in tacked-on multiplayer. Now they're fucking up the voice actors.

Don't fall for it, people.

His voice was the best dark knight I've heard. This seems like a mistake.

They're not reinventing the wheel, ditching proven actors doesn't make it fresh or new.

It's my guess that the budget on this game is so low that it won't even see a good polish.

How much money was spent on marketing/advertising for Arkham City? Was even a 1/3 of that necessary?

Anyone that pays full price for this title is getting robbed.

There's only bad news coming from this game...

still reeling from the multiplayer announcement

Kevin Conroy had not "always voiced a veteran Dark Knight". In Mask of The Phantasm, they explained the origins of Batman The Animated Series, with Kevin Conroy performing wonderfully as Bruce Wayne before batman, an inexperienced Batman, AND a verteran Batman, and it was amazing. They should bring him back.

Why no Kevin Conroy? He's the voice of Batman most fans can relate too and besides Kevin is a talented guy, he could make his voice sound younger. He does it with Bruce Wayne for goodness sake!

Damn. Conroy is the man.

Not the same batman voice nor the same joker voice...why do they bother??

Seeing as how Conroy voices Batman all the time he must be glad to get a break for once. And also I would like to see how this works out.

Fine for me. Anyway in the french version, i'm pretty sure they will put the same voice acting, lol
