Voice actors Kevin Conroy (Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Mark Hamill (The Joker), award-winning writer Paul Dini, and Rocksteady Studios game developer Sefton Hill were present to discuss the highly-anticipated video game “Batman: Arkham Asylum”. Dini talked about the new, darker design for Harley Quinn and how they imagined the character to have smeared dirt across her eyes for her mask. With Croc, they didn’t want to just portray him as a man with a skin disease, but more of an actual monster. Dini then mentioned that there would be a few surprise villains which have not yet been revealed.

Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill threw quotes at one another as their characters, to much applause from the crowd. Hamill also did the his evil Joker laugh a couple of times.
