Roger's Batman voice is raw, aggressive. He's young and inexperienced and he's still trying establish himself as a legend hence the "intimidating" voice to strike fear. Kevin's Batman voice is calm, collected. He's a veteran and has the "been there, done that vibe". Everyone knows and fears Batman. His presence alone strikes fear, he no longer has to "exaggerate" his voice because he's a legend. He has honed his craft. Both are goated.
But that's the way how Batman is in Origins, his young and aggressive lamo No need to put other voice actors lower tier, just because one of them died, yes it's sad, Kevin was good and we all will miss him
Conroy just feels so monotone sometimes, in reality he's just good at subtly that perfectly fits the character, but Smith's is a refreshing in your face Batman that's passionate about what he does. "How many lives did you just take!?" Is fucking RAW
I want more Batman titles with Rodger Craig Smith. Kevin Conroy is always great hands down, the best Batman voice, legendary. But it gets repetitive hearing him too often. Rodger in Arkham Origins is a very emotional Batman, letting his anger control him. I’d love to see him play a Batman who’s has overcome that anger and utilizes his very intimidating interrogation more effectively since Batman becomes more self-aware in later years.
@@zondrabarth4508 Well... Troy did voice batman in the telltale games, but in this case for the arkham games... yeah, troy should fill in for mark as Joker since Mark retired.
He does a good job of a younger version of Conroy's Batman. But I adore Conroy's Batman because he's not too over the top, he's the perfect amount of stern.
I will always love Roger Craig Smith's batman, because his voice for batman is literally something criminals can fear, I also like Conroy but his voice doesn't give the sound like a nightmare
Roger is playing a younger Conroy batman that's why he's more intimidating but Conroy proves that he's been at it for a long time smith's is young and still learning which makes him a good pick for a younger batman who is more aggressive and more threatening and with Conroy every bad guy and criminal/theif is already afraid of him
Yea because kc Batman is more clam Lol why would the dark knight worry about lowlife thugs he’s been fighting for years And he’s always confident he will win
@GoTi4No exactly what I was going to say especially in Arkham knight if I’m trained and hear this voice that sounds completely calm and confident it strikes a lot more fear in me than one who seems angry and emotional because I’d feel like the emotional one is more likely to make a mistake. But I’d also fear that the inexperienced guy would hurt me more out of anger so it’s a toss up imo
both are rage....only thing is origins has facial expression on batman but arkham knight dont...even when batman talking angry,his face has no expression which is a studio laziness...
Kevin Conroy is the best, there's something about his voice that brings batman alive. Roger Craig Smith did a good job but I'm used to kevin Conroy batman voice
@Jay Bradley he displayed the rage better cause he was written as a younger less experienced batman while kevin's is written as the batman who's already grown and learnt to deal with loses
I rate Roger's Batman voice. Severely underrated. I feel like most people say Conroy is better just because of nostalgia/he's been doing it longer and people think he's the only Batman. But by god, Roger did phenomenal
I mean, it's possible part of it is also that Conroy sounds like a different Batman, one capable of witty one-liners along with his serious tales, a version who stood alongside godlike beings etc. Etc. Basically, I think a lot of people would agree that a lot of DC media had a quality fall off shortly after the DCAU, so Conroy being the voice from there instantly gets him an extra couple points, whether earned or not. Someone else may or may not have been able to pull the calm, clever, or more mocking lines he ran, and get all the same credit as him, but he was the one who got that spot, so the Batman being invoked as he speaks is always that one, whether he's playing a different one or not.
Conroy's voice instills fear deep in the mind of criminals, while roger's voice feels like it could literally break bones. Both are terrifying which is excellent. But tbh I personally prefer Roger's voice.
@@diamondeditz73 Roger Craig Smith was the voice actor for Batman in Arkham Origins, so it'd be. I'm guessing that if they ever did another Arkham game, it'd be a follow-up to Origins, not Knight.

I actually really like RCS as Batman. He portrays a younger unhinged and inexperienced batman really well. Juxtaposed to Kevin Conroy and his more more mature and experienced batman is really fun to hear.
I feel like if they were to make more Arkham games when Batman was first starting off they should always go for roger he’s sounds the best as a young Batman still developing and if they make more when Batman is older go for conroy
Tbh, I think that RCS is just better in every way, even for older Batman, he would just change his tone slightly and be more calculated and that's it.

They play Batman at different points of their lives. Origins is a cocky and overconfident arsehole who doesn't accept help from others while Kevin is playing a more experienced one.
Honestly since Kevin Conroy is no longer with us, Roger Craig Smith is the only person I want to take his place, at least in the video games like Arkham and Injustice going forward. Mark Hamill said he’s done voicing Joker since Kevin is gone, so Troy Baker and Roger Craig Smith are the next best voices for Batman and Joker imo.
I love Bruce's monologue in Origins at the end of this clip. He's trained the absolute blood off for so many years, he knows he can annihilate everyone out there and is truly embracing the Bat symbolism of fear in Gotham, while Alfred is just afraid because Bruce is practically his kid
I still remember booting up the game after my father came home with the collector’s edition many years ago. I was skeptical on how RCS would sound. But after finishing the entire game later on, I was far more impressed than what I had assumed. He did an excellent job. Although when I heard of Conroy’s passing, I was upset. How I would never hear his voice again in future Batman related things. But I do hope that RCS takes the helm. Because I would be more than happy for him to carry on Kevin’s legacy. If he can alter Sonic’s voice to sound more mature and stoic in Frontiers, I’m sure he can make Batman sound older to fit the theme.
Roger Craig and Troy Baker did a wonderful job at portraying a younger version of Batman and Joker. It makes sense as time goes Batman gains more control over his emotions and Joker becomes even more insane.
Smith's voice is actually quite great and suits the character well but being such a diehard fan of Batman The Animated Series has made it really difficult for me to fully embrace anyone outside of Kevin Conroy. Conroy is the Batman voice I hear in my head just like Mark Hamil and the Joker.
Both are done amazing with the roles they are given, RCS is given a younger, ferocious and beginner type Batman while Conroy is given a more experienced and patient Batman.
Conroy excels in the brooding, intellect and experience sound area, the definitive Batman voice, like how John Kassir is to Deadpool. But Rodger Craig Smith is as much as a GOAT. A different flavor, his interrogation voice is fear incarnate and he brings the vengeful and fear inducing down amazingly. Smith as Batman and Troy Baker as Joker are the true successors and GOATS too like Conroy and Hamil.
Kevin Conroy will always be the most iconic caped crusader but he's starting show his age. He would be perfect for a Dark Knight returns or older Batman. I think Roger would be worthy successor.
Kevin Conroy is my favorite Batman, he is the definitive Batman. Kevin is Batman, period. And still I can appreciate other actors' performance as the character. One of the reasons why I enjoy Arkham Origins so much is the performance of Roger Craig Smith, for sure. I like how Origins Batman is younger, not with much experience, this year 2 Batman? I don't remember. And Smith plays the entire role so well. I haven't touch the Arkham games since Kevin passed away😢 But whenever I do I'm playing Origins first. R.I.P. Kevin. I miss you and thank you for everything.
Dont be mad, but since Kevin Convoy is gone, Maybe Sonic/Roger could Continue His Legacy! And yes i said Sonic cuz Roger Voices Sonic! But Hey, at least Sonic was trying to be Batman In The Movies even tho It Wasnt The same VA!
I love Kevin Conroy's performance. For me, is unbeateable. But, sincerely, I liked Smith's performance as well. Sounded like a young, angrier and more unexperienced version of the Dark Knight.
Arkham origins batman, modern sonic, and boom sonic: *spider-man pointing meme intensifies* Literally every other character Roger Craig smith has voiced: *joins in too* Literally every other version of sonic the hedgehog with different voice actors than Roger: *also join in due boom sonic and Roger’s version of modern sonic being there*
Idk man I think Conroy doesn't fit Arkham batman he sounds too old, monotone and devoid of emotion. It's clear he wasn't trying in Knight he even said so but overall Roger is batman his voice is very befitting at least more than Kevin
If I had to be interrogated by Arkham Batman. I'm choosing the older Batman as young Arkham Batman is so hot blooded and angry. He won't hesitate to beat the mess out of you. Still if Kevin Conoy's dead then DC should give Roger Craig Smith or even Tory Baker another chance of playing Batman because they were excellent at voicing Batman and even though they can't replace Kevin Conroy. They can live up his legacy as Batman so if we need a Batman. DC knows who to call
Kevin sounds calm even though making it terrifying But roger is angry as hell he sounds like he could rip a person in half and I wouldn't want to get him mad

Roger craig smith play batman, ezio from assassin creed, mirage from apex legends, chris redfield from resident evil 5, sonic, cell from drago ball z...so whats your point
What's ironic is that Troy Baker is in the same game Roger Craig Smith is in and he's done a great Batman voice that's incredibly close to Conroy's own voice.
I have played Batman Arkham origins several times and I think that Roger Craig Smith can take on the legacy of Kevin Conroy, since he is very close to him, especially his voice accent and how he expresses the Dark Knight well (but Conroy will always be my Definitive and favorite Batman ❤😭🦇)
Troy Baker was able to effortlessly replicate Mark Hamil’s voice to near perfection however as close as he came not even RCS could replicate Conroy. He probably at the most unique voice ever.

I find Kevin’s voice for Batman more intimidating because of how calm it is lol. It’s weirs
They are both amazing honeslty, obviously Kevin Conroy isAwesome and Roger Craig Smith is amazing
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy
Smith's voice is actually quite great and suits the character well but being such a diehard fan of Batman The Animated Series has made it really difficult for me to fully embrace anyone outside of Kevin Conroy. Conroy is the Batman voice I hear in my head just like Mark Hamil and the Joker.
Both are done amazing with the roles they are given, RCS is given a younger, ferocious and beginner type Batman while Conroy is given a more experienced and patient Batman.
RIP Kevin Conroy
Conroy excels in the brooding, intellect and experience sound area, the definitive Batman voice, like how John Kassir is to Deadpool. But Rodger Craig Smith is as much as a GOAT. A different flavor, his interrogation voice is fear incarnate and he brings the vengeful and fear inducing down amazingly. Smith as Batman and Troy Baker as Joker are the true successors and GOATS too like Conroy and Hamil.
Craig Smith fits with a more reckless angry young Batman than conroy. Also Weller fits with a cranky old broken Batman.
Kevin Conroy will always be the most iconic caped crusader but he's starting show his age. He would be perfect for a Dark Knight returns or older Batman. I think Roger would be worthy successor.
Unpopular opinion but i like RCS more but i understand that KC voice is more iconic
Fair. Very unique opinion. Any particular reason you prefer Roger?
Kevin Conroy is my favorite Batman, he is the definitive Batman. Kevin is Batman, period. And still I can appreciate other actors' performance as the character.
One of the reasons why I enjoy Arkham Origins so much is the performance of Roger Craig Smith, for sure. I like how Origins Batman is younger, not with much experience, this year 2 Batman? I don't remember. And Smith plays the entire role so well.
I haven't touch the Arkham games since Kevin passed away😢 But whenever I do I'm playing Origins first.
R.I.P. Kevin. I miss you and thank you for everything.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy...
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy the man who voiced in Arkham games.
Don’t forget the DCAU.
Conroy feels more patient. Smith feels alot aggressive. But both are undeniably talented.
"Sorry, Victor. I can't give you peace, but i can give you justice. "
One of the my favourites lines from Arkham games
Roger Craigs voice fits perfect for a young Batman I hope they will hire him back.
Can’t believe Sonic voiced Batman.
Dont be mad, but since Kevin Convoy is gone, Maybe Sonic/Roger could Continue His Legacy! And yes i said Sonic cuz Roger Voices Sonic! But Hey, at least Sonic was trying to be Batman In The Movies even tho It Wasnt The same VA!
I love Kevin Conroy's performance. For me, is unbeateable. But, sincerely, I liked Smith's performance as well. Sounded like a young, angrier and more unexperienced version of the Dark Knight.
1:43 I thought that at that moment he would say «I'm not in danger Alfred, I am the danger»
Batman was Heisenberg the whole time!
@@GPS_DSYou god damn right
@@ДаниелСтрунгару “And I’m Alfred Pennyworth, yo.”
@@GPS_DS my name Gordon,but you call me “officer bolls”
@@ДаниелСтрунгару That’s where it stops for me, I’ve never seen Breaking Bad, I just know a few of the memes.
I’m completely jaw-dropped at Roger Craig Smith’s range. Batman, Ezio Auditore, Sonic! Seriously. What else can this legend do?
Kyle Crane in Dying Light too. Didn't know it was him until i looked it up. He also does BatMite in Lego Batman 3.
Arkham origins batman, modern sonic, and boom sonic: *spider-man pointing meme intensifies*
Literally every other character Roger Craig smith has voiced: *joins in too*
Literally every other version of sonic the hedgehog with different voice actors than Roger: *also join in due boom sonic and Roger’s version of modern sonic being there*
The writers hold back Roger in SEGA
Both are great in their own right. RIP Kevin Conroy
They really should get Mirage of Apex to do a Batman impression.
Roger's a decent batman but Kevin's voice is just so iconic
Idk man I think Conroy doesn't fit Arkham batman he sounds too old, monotone and devoid of emotion. It's clear he wasn't trying in Knight he even said so but overall Roger is batman his voice is very befitting at least more than Kevin
"I am the reason that criminals breathe easier when the sun rises." - Rodger Craig Smith
I like that sonic guy. But. Kevin was the legend, RIP Kenyon Conroy
I get what you're saying but Roger is a lot more than just "that sonic guy" 😭
@@ThaGavMan999 yea I know but like. Sonic and Batman was my childhood. And I would like to keep Batman Batman and sonic sonic
He's literally well known for being the Ezio guy and the Templar guy who mocked Ezio. Classic case of talent and irony in fiction.
@@Assassin-js1jp also Chris "boulder-puncher" Redfield
If I had to be interrogated by Arkham Batman. I'm choosing the older Batman as young Arkham Batman is so hot blooded and angry. He won't hesitate to beat the mess out of you. Still if Kevin Conoy's dead then DC should give Roger Craig Smith or even Tory Baker another chance of playing Batman because they were excellent at voicing Batman and even though they can't replace Kevin Conroy. They can live up his legacy as Batman so if we need a Batman. DC knows who to call
I just realized that last scene, when Batman is raising his voice at Alfred, is Batman’s Heisenberg “I am the one who knocks” moment!
Kevin sounds calm even though making it terrifying
But roger is angry as hell he sounds like he could rip a person in half and I wouldn't want to get him mad
R.I.P. you will be missed
Wow i'm so used to Roger Craig Smith as Sonic that I had no idea he was the batman voice in the game.
Both. Both are extremely masterful and magnificent.
roger craig smith needs to take the mantle now that kevin conroy has passed
They're both perfect for their roles, Origins Rodger for a young and more aggressive batman, Conroys Older and patient batman.
I absolutely love Kevin Conroy, but Sonic The Hedgehog did a awesome job aswell even tho I haven’t played Arkham origins.

Roger craig smith play batman, ezio from assassin creed, mirage from apex legends, chris redfield from resident evil 5, sonic, cell from drago ball z...so whats your point
What's the comparison for?
For me, just like Troy Baker sounding like a younger Mark Hammel Joker, so does Roger Smith sound like a younger version of Kevin Conroy Batman.
What's ironic is that Troy Baker is in the same game Roger Craig Smith is in and he's done a great Batman voice that's incredibly close to Conroy's own voice.
Roger Craig Smith would be an awesome live action Batman
Guess we found the Roger werehog?
1:03 that ANGER,
"They grow up so fast"
I hear Roger do some of these threats in his sonic voice. They shit would be golden for a possible voice mod
Both are great. Roger could use some work, but he knows the direction.
I have played Batman Arkham origins several times and I think that Roger Craig Smith can take on the legacy of Kevin Conroy, since he is very close to him, especially his voice accent and how he expresses the Dark Knight well
(but Conroy will always be my Definitive and favorite Batman ❤😭🦇)
I think Kevin conroy is the better batman but I think it’s insane that sonic is also batman 💀
Ezio as well
It’s way past cool.
Troy Baker was able to effortlessly replicate Mark Hamil’s voice to near perfection however as close as he came not even RCS could replicate Conroy. He probably at the most unique voice ever.
RCS- Intimidating
KC- Authoritative
