Batman: Arkham Origins

Conroy is in the fourth Arkham game (being made by Rocksteady).

That is so weird. I thought he was done voicing Batman? He's not in this game but he'll be in the next? That makes no sense.

My limited understanding of the situation is that because Batman is younger in Origins they wanted a younger, less seasoned sounding Batman. But that is just as much based on speculation as anything considering the confusion.

Yeah Its not like Conroy is a voice actor or anything

What are they thinking?

He has a very iconic voice for the character. If he does him like people are familiar with, I think they feel it will age him. Why have the iconic voice if you're going to have him change it?

Those voice actors kind of suck.

The new Batman guy didn't sound bad, for the whole two seconds you heard him, but the Joker, again for only two seconds, did sound off.

And I guess I need to get on Vine. Everyone is using that shit now.

While it sucks that Joker isn't Mark Hamill this time around, I have plenty of faith in Troy Baker.

Like I said in that other thread, the guys from Radio Radar (Games Radar) played the game for a bit and said they felt they were taken out of the experience due to the voice acting. Just one site and one group of guys' opinions though.

Mad Hatter Confirmed for Batman: Arkham Origins

One of the villains set to star in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins has been revealed to be the Mad Hatter.

This month's Official Xbox Magazine (via VG247) reveals that the villain also known as Jervis Tetch is set to join the roster of Batman's enemies in the latest Arkham title.

Though the Hatter made an appearance in Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham City, it appears this time around he'll have a significantly larger role. He's set to be the focal point of the game's trippy action sequences, similar to how Scarecrow featured in the original Arkham Asylum title.

Tetch is set to join Deathstroke and a reimagined version of Copperhead, as well as familiar faces Penguin, Bane and the Joker.

Batman: Arkham Origins is due out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC on October 25.

About time. Wasn't his appearance in AC a totally optional one? I remember finding almost a secret room that ended up being his office or something and I thought I remember it being totally optional.
