He sounds like he is trying to imitate Hamill, not as much portray the joker. Granted the Hamill Joker is Iconic and pretty much the voice in my head when I read anything in the comic, I think I would respect a more orriginal take.
I think I can understand if this game is a prequel and wanting to keep some form of continuity.
I haven’t played any of the Arkham Asylum games, but I did play Bioshock Infinite, in which Troy played the main character Dewitt. I thought his performance in that game was brilliant, he even sang. So I have confidence that he will do a fine job.
