Why is it easier to play the Joker than Batman?

[@loganbrown3334]

One of the main reasons I love Troy as an actor is because he has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to stepping into the shoes of characters like Joker, Batman, or even Indiana Jones. He's a true fan, and that makes him relatable.

[@samuelesquivel6202]

He is a pretty good actor not ganna lie, remember the time he deny the leaks from tlou2, and the story trailer where he appears saying to Ellie "he wont let her do this on her own" I believed that s#¡t, not anymore

[@BenyaminLorit]

@@samuelesquivel6202 of course he would deny that because those were leaks. Denying is the only course of action to take for any professional involved in a project that suffers a leak. It would be unethical to confirm any sort of leaked details (and choosing not to answer is basically the same thing as far as the public is concerned.) You gotta understand how that shit works. Also, how the studio chose to market the story trailer has nothing to do with Troy and it was an understandable course of action considering everyone was asking where Joel was and they had to deal with that without giving anything away. You just made all that sound like Troy lied to you out of spite and it's kind of immature to judge someone's character just based off of something petty like that.

[@samuelesquivel6202]

@BenyaminLorit those are excuses man, ok fine he had respond that way, but not having free will to say "NO" I cant be part of performing in a trailer which Joel says that while in the real game is the chinese dude, I mean wtf is that? All that to keep a job? To be part of a lie...? For a kid maybe it was ok but he is a grown ass man, he has some rights, tell me something what other performens was as big after he made Joel performens ?

His performance as Twoface is really underrated.

[@philliphernandez2649]

When I first played Arkham City, he sounded so much like Richard Mull's Two Face, I thought it was him!

[@JoseHernandez-rb3gg]

Fr it is

[@TheBlueGoldenHawk]

Had no idea that was Troy until today lol, or the other characters. I only knew he was joker in Origins and that he was Arkham Knight

[@docproc144]

I completely agree with Troy, Arkham Origins is hella underrated. Fantastic game. Roger Craig Smith killed it as Batman. Since Kevin Conroy has unfortunately passed away, Roger is the one guy I think should take over the mantle for Batman games going forward.

[@RedcoatTrooper]

Well he did in Arkham Shadow and that was amazing

[@thewhitewolf4968]

Completely 💯 agree

[@joshpetzoldt6344]

It's Sonic the Bat(man)! I know that makes no sense, but I just find it funny that Roger Craig Smith voices video game versions of both characters and does a pretty great job of it too.

[@electraccoon]

it's so underrated now it became overrated

[@lewddewdero]

One of the reasons why it didnt take off was 1 the launch was pretty buggy, not unplayable but frustrating at times 2 the leveling system made no sense. It took forever to get bullet and melee armor, and critical hits were at the end of the skill tree (WTF)

[@arbknight12]

I loved what Kevin Conroy said about Christian Bale’s performance: “Someone should’ve told him [Bale] ‘You sound ridiculous!’ .”

[@ayanleman]

Hell, bale thought so too and thought he flunked his audition. But Nolan liked it and cast him as bats

[@Arkhambattles]

[@yamanaaustralis96]

He sounded great in Begins, I don't know what happened after that

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

LOVED troy's joker. he sounded not like he was trying to do an impression of hamill's joker, but like he was a younger, more aimless, more reckless but no less calculated joker. that's a hardass needle to fuckin thread

[@MariogamingMario]

If you didn’t know, I believe Troy also did the joker in justice league crisis on infinite earths part 2, where he does sound like he’s doing a Mark Himill impression.

[@MaaZeus]

IMHO he is the next best thing if Mark Hamill isn't around or willing to do the Joker. And he is less and less willing to do it because it is hard on his voice.

[@Kinseliplier]

No Troy Baker Blatantly is Doing an impression of Mark Hamil Especially in Batman: Arkham Asylum and He has Always Done the Same Joker Voice.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

@MaaZeus he said he wouldn't play the joker if Conroy wasn't Batman so with his death, Hamill's joker is effectively retired

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

@Kinseliplier then you're not listening close enough because there are clear tonal differences (as in emotional tone, not vocal). LIKE I SAID, it's like a younger, more aimless, more reckless joker BUT STILL a version of the same joker. It wouldn't make any sense for him to be completely different 🙄

[@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit]

His joker performance is just legendary

[@docproc144]

What I like about Troy Baker and always appreciated is that he genuinely understands the characters he plays and the worlds they inhabit. He’s a fan just like the rest of us, and that passion really shines through in his performances.

[@tbrios9953]

Mark Hamill will forever be the GOAT but Troy’s job on The Joker was damn near perfect.. he captured the CHAOS of the joker. Yet still had the funny/twisted side. The sheer power of violence in every scene that the joker is in while playing Arkham Origins is spot on. Not once did I think he was trying to hard or not enough. It was perfect 💯👌

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Troy Baker’s very big in the Batmanverse.

[@philliphernandez2649]

Him voicing both Batman and Joker in Assault on Arkham was awesome!

[@alexfischer7876]

@@philliphernandez2649 Erm... *Kevin Conroy* himself did _Assault on Arkham_ as well. I just remember the tiny detail of his Batman calling Amanda Waller "a messy cook". Where Troy Baker definitely voiced _both_ Batman and Joker was _Batman vs. TMNT._

[@ArturroT888]

Yes! Very happy to see a positive shout out for Arkham Origins! It's not getting enough justice. Aside for that it is so nice to hear such great talent being a fan as well!

[@rinraiden]

Troy kind of mixed a few things up in his story. He was brought in to play Robin in Arkham City, not NIghtwing. And he was fired from Robin in Arkham Knight to play Jason, but he still continued to voice Two-Face.

[@Mellow0721]

Anyone who came up with this franchise and spent those days snowed in playing Arkham Origins knows the initial backlash Montréal received bringing on Troy (similarly to Roger) instead of Hamill reprising for the title. I just want Troy to know if he sees this WE FKN LOVE YOU TROY. I remember my Dad taking me to NYCC 2013 and seeing his rendition of the killing joke monologue and knew we were in for an absolute treat. 11 Years later i'm out of college and married (holy time flying batman) Thank you for your dedication sir!

[@MattAlbie]

I'm so glad that all these years later I keep constantly finding out that I'm not the ONLY one who loves Arkham origins.

[@MBGamesHD]

I like his take on Two Face, Joker and Jason Todd but knowing he could've also been Nightwing is interesting. Maybe for a future project perhaps?

[@datdankdj8264]

I think the only time I didn’t like his portrayal was his Joker in Batman Vs TMNT because of how they wrote his lines since it was a cornier film. He does really good and I’m super impressed by his versatility.

[@SantiagoGomez-cx6el]

The approach to Two-Face's performance blew my mind, sir you are by far my favorite actor. You don't even need to be on screen to perfectly portray a complex character, it's truly admirable.

[@trevorpearlharbor5171]

He voiced Batman, Joker, and Robin (as Red Hood) throughout the Arkham series, and was the only actor to play all three major characters. Troy Baker is EXTREMELY talented!

[@Zoddlander]

Troy made great point about the Penguin. Give us more character stories from the batman rogues gallery like that show. It was great. I would love to se Hush done that way or Bane!

As someone who is constantly writing in hopes of making audio dramas, animated shows, and even video games, I find myself writing these characters in my worlds and every now and then, I imagine what it would be like if Troy Baker voiced him. I think Troy is not only a wonderful voice performer but a lovely gentleman. If there is a list of people I dream to work with one day, somewhere in at least the Top 10 is Troy Baker. 🥰

Arkham Origins is one that I personally love. The rarity of the Christmas setting, and showing off characters before Arkham Asylum was great. The irony of Gotham Knight and Suicide Squad both being worse than Origins is not lost on me. The performance of Batman and Joker in that game were very good despite not being the actors we are used to.

It’s funny how Troy Baker likes voicing the Joker more then Batman, when he’s actually been my favorite Batman voice actor for a long time. I respect Kevin Conroy, and yeah, he’s THE Batman. But there’s a difference between favorite, and best, and while Conroy’s the best Batman, Baker’s my favorite actor of the Caped Crusader.
