     I'm sorry but I actually liked Booster Golds voice. He has BG's cocky "I'm a Super Hero star." to it. Also, I'm not rushing to confirm but I believe it's voiced by the guy who voiced him in JLU (Justice League Unlimited).

    Like the others put an asterisk to your statement excluding Mark Hamill's Joker. But, if you want that, you could always play Arkham Asylum instead.

    you do realise Mark has been doing that voice for like the last 15 years right?

    It does fit Booster, as far as the script goes. The cadnence though is way to rushed, it feels off, and comes away as annoying to me.

    Mark Hamill is the best Joker.  Always.  Everyone here needs to go watch the animated series NOW.  If you've already seen it, see it again!

    Yeah. If he sucked, do you think he would be doing it for that long?

    Nah instead go play Batman:Arkham Asylum(again),there he gets to cut  loose as Joker without the restrictions of toning it down for kids.

    The voice acting is really fun at times.

    I knocked one baddie off a roof and he yelled AHHHHHHHHhhhh as he went over the edge.

    One baddie randomly said "All of your souls are belong to meee!"

    Mark knocks Joker out of the park. He really nailed that voice. It's a game. I would rather have a good game then tons of cash sunk into voice overs for everything. Voice in this game is done fine.

    P.S. Wonder Woman is done by that chick from Firefly. I think her voice does not fit the part at all. That was the only one I didn't like.

    The voice of Harley is the original voice from the Batman Animated show where she debuted.

    It's very noticable going back to MMOs without voice overs - I appreciated being able to run to the next mission while being told what was happening (unless I ran into another VO, or someone on VOIP, then I couldn't hear anything clearly).

    However, I do wonder what kind of blocks this is going to put on content development. If Hamill retires the Joker voice, for instance, a stand-in is going to be noticable. Or if another Firefly movie goes into production, good luck in getting access to all those actors for their voices!
