I thought the Joker and Batman voices were particularly bad. I like the gravelly voices of Bale and Ledger from the new Batman movies. They fit better than the "Superman" hero voices you hear sometimes in animated series or in this game.

You're just too mainstreamed. Mark Hamill and Michael Conroy are as exceptional as they usually are in their animated counter parts, Mark Hamill especially.
Really? The gameplay was indeed easy, and playing it on hard just made it "tedious hard" and not actually "fun hard". I also didn't like detective mode and how easy it made things. Plus, the boss fights were very lack luster, especially Joker fight. Ivy was probably the best boss fight. Other than that i thought it was a fine game. Cool story and I thought the voices were done rather well. I liked the sneaking around as well. Gave it a MGS feel to it.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Not the best game, but it's not a bad game either. I do agree it's a little overrated.
@animus: Thinking Batman and Joker's voices should be like in the long-running animated series is far more "mainstreamed" than liking the voices from the movies. I've always preferred the darker side of the Batman and Joker characters. The animated series made them too cartoonish and clownish. These are dark, emotionally-twisted characters we're dealing with, not superheroes and super-villains. Their voices should fit.
Gamespot gave it a 9.0. That's rating it as a great game, which it's not. It's probably better than any other Batman game, but that's not saying much.

You should probably look mainstream up, since you don't know what it means.
These are super heroes and super-villains. It's a comic book. What did you think the source material was? Based on a true story? If you wanted a twisted voice, Mark Hamill easily sounds more twisted than Ledger.
I thought it was a great game, you don't. Opinions.

Yep, and you know what they say about opinions and a**holes... you are one.
You should maybe read some Batman comics sometime, instead of just basing what you know off the animated series. He's no superhero. And his enemies are not supervillains. None of them even have super-powers. They're just criminal geniuses and wackos. You think an asylum could hold a supervillain who can bend steel or shoot lasers from his hands?
The voices set the wrong tone for the game, and the game lives up to the poor voice acting, resulting in a poor game.

Killer Croc - Superhuman strength, regeneration.
Clayface - shapeshifter, occasional superhuman strength (depending on which one you're referring to).
You're getting out of a lot of it when you said "criminal geniuses," since a lot of them have gadgets and knowledge on their own, but saying none Batman's enemies are supervillains just isn't true.
I'm an opinion? Cool, now grow up.
Maybe YOU should read the comics sometimes. You clearly haven't played the game much or know anything about the Batman universe. Poison Ivy doesn't have super powers? She controls plants with her mind. Killer Croc doesn't have super strength and have crocodile genes spliced into his DNA? Bane doesn't have Venom injected in his body allowing for a super huge body and super strength? And these are just the villains from the Batman Universe in this game alone.
None of them are particularly "super".
They're all results of freak accidents, not nature. Real supervillains are results of nature.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

Then spiderman and hulk arent super either, cause they are just results of freak accidents too, seriously stop this nonsensical shit and get back to talking about games.
What? I have no idea where you got that from, since it doesn't make any sense at all.
But if you want to get technical, Killer Croc has had a metagene from birth that gave him strength and hardened skin.
Congrats on repeatedly identifying the one possible badguy who could count as a supervillain in the Batman universe.
It's a crappy game, not sure how it got a score of 9.0 on Gamespot. Maybe they're as easily amused as animus here.

I have no idea what you're trying to do You're either trying a pathetic troll attempt or you're honestly ignorant. Killer Croc isn't even the least of which that could be considered a Super Villain compared to many others in the same Batman Universe.
Also, you don't need to have super powers to be considered a super hero or super villain. Batman's in the Justice League, and every single person there is considered a super hero.
But I'll humor you.Batman Villains Wiki And I assure you, Killer Croc's not the only "super villain" on that list from the Batman Universe.
But, I'm not the only one, next to Gamespot that thinks it's a great game.Metacritic
Lulz BATMAN isn't even that cool guys, Kratos would fuck his shit up. And yes, Animeniax is a pathetic troll. If you look up his post history, he takes every opportunity to respond to my posts with some lame ass comment(s) about some shit that doesn't even make sense and half the time isn't even in context. For proof, just wait for his reply to my post.
So anyway, I've been playing that God of War III demo, and it is the sheeeeeet. The voice acting in God of War III is going to blow any B-grade Batman production out of the water any way you look at it so we can just end that debate now, thanks. (In all actuality, any production is going to look B-grade in the shadow of God of War III.)
One more bit of irony and the universe will implode.
I Kratos, i kill stuff, i manly.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
GoW3 will be no better than Batman:AA. Mindless Button mashing and bad voice acting. Right up Stitch's alley. It will keep him out of his mom's hair for a few days at least, so she'll buy him a copy.

For once I have to agree with Stitch, GOW's voice acting is pretty damn good. Though the combat is pretty simple and really easy.
Voice acting doesn't really matter in GoW in my opinion, since it's a fun, mindless button masher that'll keep you busy for a couple days.
I'm playing Dragon Age: Origin at the moment and it's pretty awesome. It's a genuinely hard RPG, i can't remember that last time i had to kite a boss around while my range characters attack him in order to win.
Ha, my brother was able to return his copy of Batman: AA to Gamestop. Seems they'll accept games purchased used within 7 days of purchase.
Waiting for CoD:MW2 on Tuesday.

2 of my cousins and I have just finished going through MGS 1-3 and we're going to play through the original MG games to continue on with the story then finish up with MGS4. I don't think I've ever seen such a complex story weaved into a game series...so much so I'm usually asking my cousins questions like, "who's that?" and "where did they come from?" That Kojima is a mad genius.
