Go over to superherohype.com theres plenty of them, and to all of you waiting for a perfect batman game, Arkham Asylum is looking to be the best batman game yet.

Is this because they cannot find a proper voice for the Joker? Also, they say no console game. Does this imply there's gonna be a PC game?

[Batman]

Who would want Ledger's Joker in the game without Ledger being able to voice him?

It's not unusual to have other people voice characters from movies in a game.
Heath Ledger provided a recognizable voice, which, if you look on YouTube many people can impersonate pretty well.
 

[Gotham Knight]

Yea, besides it was a rip off of the Lecter voice which I'm told I do a great impression. So, it couldn't be that hard to emulate.

And if worse came, why couldn't they just recycle his line's from the movie?.

Are you serious Lecter and ripoff? Maybe you should watch the film again, because I own every single "Hannibal" themed film and he sounds completly different than anything else ever done, especially Ledger's Joker.

Its not unusual, but with a performance that great, if someone tampered with that, they'd be outright stupid.

Excuse me, so do I, and it's clearly a Lecter impersonation with a deeper voice (IE Hedger deepens his voice in order to get to the American accent) but he still hits a higher pitch ("craZIER than usual") and the draw of it, the mannerisms, and the general voice are clearly Hannibal Lector. In order to do my own impressions of Lecter I've watched his scenes again and again. It IS a Lector rip-off.

And even IF you set that aside, "tampering with it" isn?t even an issue. It's been done numerous times in other licensed games. This is no exception. So they get somebody else. No biggie.

To you its no biggie, obviously in some way or other you sound jealous of what Ledger did in TDK, it is clearly not an impersonation of anyone else, but a brand new fresh take on a character we all love, and he nailed it right on the head for what he was going for. I dont really care what anyone else says, I can watch both TDK and Hannibal for instance and the only resemblance I see or HEAR is theyre both two crazy psychopaths with different agendas, they sound nothing alike to me at all ( other than their voices being softer in some spots and louder and gruff in others), and I know if we put up a poll on any other board or forum more people would agree with me than disagree.

Some people just didnt like what Ledger did, which is fine to me, everyone has their own tatse, but to say its a ripoff is pretty much showing you should probably go back, watch TDK again and then watch all of the Hannibal "themed" films, because the similarities are pretty slim to none. That or you just cant stand it enough to find bad excuses as to "why its not good".

Anyone that likes a game with an overdubbing of someone elses voice or character, obviously dosent care much to have things accurate, I for one am not that easily impressed. I want things exact, or I dont want them at all, getting a game with Ledgers Joker and not his iconic voice, now that my friend would be a ripoff lol.
