Part of what's made the Arkham series such a quintessential Batman experience has been Warner Bros. and Rocksteady's top-notch voice acting. This includes iconic Batman: The Animated Series frontman Kevin Conroy, but also extends to many of the veterans of the gaming world, like Troy Baker and Nolan North. Today, Warner Bros. is taking a look at the game's voice acting in a new video.

"This part of the trilogy is a much more psychological challenge for Batman," Conroy explains in the video. "He's being ripped apart and he's fighting for his identity. For me, as an actor, it was a blast to get to flex those muscles."

The video also visits with Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks (Commissioner Gordon), The Twilight Saga's Ashley Greene (Barbara Gordon/Oracle), Sleepy Hollow's John Noble (Scarecrow), and Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter (Nightwing). While there isn't any new information about the game within this video, it's a neat behind-the-scenes look into the voice actors' studio.

The full video can be seen below. Batman: Arkham Knight is set to release on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on June 23.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
