In early May, DC announced Batman: Arkham Shadow for the Meta* Quest 3 VR headset. Unlike previous Arkham games developed by Rocksteady, this one is being developed by Camouflaj, the studio behind Marvel's Iron Man VR.
In the Batman Arkham and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League franchises, Batman was voiced by Kevin Conroy, except for Arkham Origins, where Roger Craig Smith took on the role.
Conroy passed away in 2022, leaving the question of who will voice Batman in future animated films, TV series, and the Arkham series, which DC plans to continue.
For Arkham Shadow, it appears that the developers have turned to Roger Craig Smith once again. While he hasn't officially confirmed his involvement, he did retweet the announcement.
Craig Smith has previously voiced Batman in Arkham Origins and some animated films like Batman Ninja, though not on a full-time basis.
Best known for his roles as Ezio Auditore in Assassin's Creed, Mirage in Apex Legends, and Sonic, Craig Smith's potential return to the role of Batman has excited fans.
Arkham Shadow is set to release in 2024, with more details expected to be revealed at Summer Game Fest in June. Fans have already noticed hints in the trailer suggesting a storyline set between Arkham Origins and Arkham Asylum, such as the "Vote for Dent" graffiti.
