Walter Bishop on the sci-fi horror series Fringe - and he's got a fair amount of crazy under his belt, too, as both Denethor in The Lord of the Rings and Henry Parrish, the Horseman of War, on Fox's Sleepy Hollow. Noble's no stranger to playing mad scientists - he spent five seasons as Dr. Jonathan Crane, also known as the Scarecrow. It'll be fun to hear Banks embrace his more heroic side, and Gordon sounds like it should be a meaty role for the accomplished actor: Arkham Knight's producer Dax Ginn says that the game will show what happens when Batman's allies "pay the price" for the vigilante's war on crime.Īrkham Knight's other big get is John Noble as one of the game's main villains, Dr. Like Gordon, Mike used to be a cop unlike Gordon, Ehrmantraut was as dirty as they come. Banks plays Commissioner James Gordon, one of Batman's closest friends. Headlining Arkham Knight's side cast is Jonathan Banks, best known to modern audiences as Mike "The Cleaner" Ehrmantraut, the stoic criminal enforcer from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
This line-up isn't just good for a video game it would be just fine for a feature film, too. To offset Conroy's commanding presence, the developer recruited some of Hollywood's best and most interesting talent to breathe life into Gotham's other citizens. Thankfully, the developer seems up to the challenge. For a whole generation of bat-fans, Conroy is the definitive Batman, and while Roger Craig Smith did an admirable job filling in during Batman: Arkham Origins, it's comforting to know that in Batman: Arkham Knight, Conroy will once again man the cape and cowl.Ĭonroy's such strong performer, however, that Rocksteady Studios needs to take care that he doesn't overshadow Arkham Knight's supporting characters. Conroy's deep baritone has been the de facto voice of the Dark Knight since Batman: The Animated Series premiered in 1992, and over twenty years later, the man's still going strong.
The best Batman isn't Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, or Adam West - it's Kevin Conroy, end of argument.
