    It seems unanimous that Troy Baker owned the role of Joker, but what did you think of Roger Craig Smith as Batman in Arkham Origins?

    Personally I gotta say, once I stopped hearing Chris Redfield, Smith's Batman became one of my all time favorites. In many ways I think he's even better than Conroy, though I doubt many of you will agree with that. Regardless, he absolutely nailed the voice; he sounds EXACTLY like a younger, angrier version of Kevin Conroy, and not only that, but his delivery on just about every line was pitch perfect. Every scene was enhanced by his lines, whether he was angry, or enhancing the emotion, and he is also one of the only Batman actors to actually succeed at being... wait for it... SCARY! Yeah, amazing how so few can actually convey that aspect of Batman's character.

    Now I do prefer Conroy over all, but that's only because I'm used to an older Batman. Any version of the character Pre-Robin though, or heck maybe all the way up to Jason Todd, I want Smith on the job.

    Anyway, what do you think?

    He's pretty good. Definitely wouldn't put him above Conroy though

    Well i would have to hear his Bruce Wayne. One of the best parts of Conroy was his ability to a different but at the same time simular voice

    He didn't get enough credit in my opinion.

    I liked the voice a lot. He could come back for animated roles or another game and I'd be cool with that. Conroy is still better though.

    He sounded awfully close to Bale for some random reason.
