Conroy confirmed this weekend at Dallas Comic-Con that he will return as the dark knight detective in the game but has simply been under an NDA for the past few months (via Batman-News). With Conroy officially onboard for the game, does this change your perception? Are you more excited to take on Batman’s early years? Sound off below!
