I think the last time I was truly shocked to find out about a voice actor voicing a particular character was Nolan North as David in The Last of Us.
Same for me. To be honest, while I was playing it, I thought sounded a lot more like Robin Atkin Downes, who also has a history with Naughty Dog, so I was surprised when I watched the credits and saw that it was Nolan North. I think that out of the popular (and arguably overused) video game voice actors, Nolan North is one of the most versatile, but he just has been cast in many roles for which his normal/Nathan Drake voice worked well enough.
As for the topic at hand, all I hear when I hear Batman in this game is a more gravelly Chris Redfield. I think knowing that he is being voiced by Roger Craig Smith is making that thought all the more prevalent in my head. I didn't know that Ezio and Chris Redfield were voiced by the same man when I played through most of the Assassin's Creed II Trilogy, so it didn't stick out to me at the time, but now when I go back and hear Ezio talk, it's hard for me to not think about Italian Chris Redfield.
To a much lesser extent, this also applies to Sonic the Hedgehog, but that's more simple amusement at the fact that he does that voice, too. He does a pretty good job with that voice.
All that said, they should really do a Troy Baker edition of the Northies this year. That man has been in so many major releases this year that it's not even funny. Hell, he voiced two characters in Injustice alone! I do like Troy Baker, though; he is very good at what he does.
