Batman is voiced by the original actor from the animated series, the could not afford Bale and who cares really his voice was awful in the dark knight. Conroys voice might be a bit cheesy at times, but at least its not Adam West. Yeah sure some fanboys would have loved Micheal Keaton as the voice, but whatever.
I bet Mark would still be willing to do more Joker if the opportunity were to come along. But thinks that fall into the continuity of the Batman animated series (DC Animated Universe) are nearly non-existent anymore (guess there is still some JLA stuff being made, right?), and the Joker has been over used quite a lot in the past several years, so it is probably not to likely the opportunity will come along.
To me Mark Hamill's Joker is by far the definitive Joker. People can get orgasmic all they want over Heath Ledger's Joker, but my feelings are that the greatness of his performance is greatly blown out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, he did a great job with the part and brought us a very dark and adult oriented version of Joker to go along with our new dark and adult oriented version Batman, but to me, Mark Hamill's Joker will always be THE Joker.
I am glade that Arkham Asylum decided to go with Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and other TAS voice actors for the game. I have always thought Kevin Conroy was perfect as the voice of Batman. Bale's raspy Batman voice comes off as just downright akward to me. And as for Micheal Keaton, the man just simply wasn't Batman. He did a great job of portraying a playboy running around at night in a costume beating up bad guys, but I don't think that is really who the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman is. To me Batman has always been a man who takes off his face and prentends to be a playboy during the day. As for Nicholson's Joker... er... um... no comment.
"Conroy's voice might be a bit cheesy at times..."
Just out of curiosity, at what times does his voice come off as cheesy to you, sky? I will admit there were plenty of cheesy things about Batman TAS throughout its run, but Kevin Conroy's portrayal of the character would have been one of the last things I'd have expected to see given that label. Perhaps it has just been a really long time since I have really sat down and watched through some of the episodes.

I like the Marvel VS Capcom franchise better, but to each their own as they say,lol.
Actually the First Marvel VS Street Fighter arcade was my favorite, i kicked ass as RYU and Wolverine.
I'd happen to agree regarding Marvel vs. Capcom, the whole idea behind that game is brilliant. Besides being a much bigger fan of Marvel than of DC, I have always been a Street Fighter guy as opposed to a Mortal Kombat guy. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is an obvious ripoff of Marvel vs. Capcom, though it is not at all original I still like the concept. And hey, fifteen bucks is fifteen bucks, that is still less than half the price of a used copy of MK vs DC from gamestop.
