I really don't need to see this stuff, honestly. I'm already a Batman nut and the previous games were top-shelf. Looking at it makes me as restless as a kid on Christmas Eve... or Bill Clinton grazing through White House interns.

It sucks that Kevin Conroy won't be in Arkham Origins, but there are other candidates for voicing Batman. I always thought Bruce Greenwood (Under the Hood) was great. Even that Baldwin brother (Crisis On Two Earths) wasn't bad. Of course, it's just not the same.

Conroy's a nice guy, but I always wondered if he ever gets tired of it.

I remember when I was a kid, I used to do this nasty trick with my eye, making one go in the other direction. Of course, it wasn't really a trick... I have a controllable lazy eye. Anyway, I did it a few times and my classmates were brutally interested in seeing it over and over again. Being the chubby kid in need of attention, I must have moved my eye a million times that day. It got to the point where it was sore, even pulsating with pain. The next day, I told all of them to fuck off, which got me in so much trouble.

I wonder if Conroy feels the same way when fans recognize him on the street, begging him to "do the voice." It's been over 20 years of him providing that awesome, legendary voice. It pays the bills and all, but I wonder if it haunts the shit of him...

I hope not.
