Is that seriously Nolan North's voice? I'm impressed if so. Though let's be honest, Nolan North is the man of a million voices.

God I am so excited for this game. It looks to be a worthy sequel to Arkahm Asylum and another great Batman game from the folks at Rocksteady.

I'm glad they're still involving the less-human villans in these games. It would be so easy to just stick to the Nolan style realistic Batman but this is so much better.

The cockney accent could be a bit better (speaking as a Londoner myself), but this all does look pretty neat.

Ok, it's lookin solid.  But man, it could all be over if those idiots would just attack at the same time instead of standing around.  "doop doop doop."

Probably not. Why? Because he's the goddamn batman.

@LumberingOaf: Very well Said. For all tense and purposes, hes Batman, If I hear him I think - Batman and his voice is perfect for any animated Batman, and same with the Joker - Yes. It is actually rather awesome they have those voices for these games, makes them all that much better for it too. He must be a young chap or as you put, a bit of a retard, lol.

Love that Rocksteady are trying to create different takes on the characters instead of copy and pasting them. Penguin's voice is just perfectly different and love his look.

This is the voice I think of when I think of dark Batman. Of course, I generally think of Adam West's Bat-Man, but the dark version of Batman, this is it, none of your Christian Bale growling crap.

Didn't wanna watch, but I just had to. Hopefully the game doesn't feel overstuffed with all of these villains. It's the only thing that could make this anything less than amazing

Since you're retarded.  Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy.  Who is the same guy who voiced him in the 1st game, as well as the 90's animated series, AND the Justice League series, as well as several DVD movies that came out over the years.  It's safe to say that he has been portraying the character longer than anyone else, in any format.  Same goes for Mark Hamill as the Joker.

@RoyCampbell: Aw I loved Devito's Penguin but I like the direction Rocksteady took.I like the voice and appearance I can actually take him seriously as a crime boss.He doesn't linger as the cheesy over the top traditional Penguin.

The Penguin seemed like just a short Brit, no quacking and his nose is barely long enough to be considered a long nose, not even close to the comics.. Disappointing!

His voice seems fine, a bit generic but fine.
 
Also just quickly self-schooled my self on Grundy, seems like an interesting character well suited for the "big angry boss fight" archetype.  He's a zombie swamp man who dies a lot and has personality disorders lol.
