In what I feel is a horrible example of miscasting, film director and rabid Batman fan Kevin Smith has been tapped to voice film director and rabid Batman fan Kevin Smith in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
I probably would have gone with someone younger, maybe mixed things up and had him voiced by the ever-charming Tara Strong, but I’m not the voice director for the game. If I were, this post would be even more confusing than it already is.
Along with Kevin as Kevin, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has also announced DC Entertainment chief creative officer Geoff Johns as DC Entertainment chief creative officer Geoff Johns, which I think is a brilliant choice.
Fans of the hit TV show Arrow will be happy to know that brooding stubble-face Stephen Amell will be taking on the role of Green Arrow. guaranteeing I’ll spend every second playing him in the game moaning about “The Island”.
Oh, and Troy Baker will be portraying both Batman and Bruce Wayne, who are completely separate people and not the same guy at all.
All four of these fine fellows — including Kevin Smith — will be making an appearance at the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham panel at next weekend’s New York Comic-Con. If you happen to be at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Saturday, October 11, you’ll be able to see them talk about LEGO Batman things. As an added bonus, Smith will probably be completely baked.

Fingers crossed KS has a Silent Bob alternate outfit!
The only logical choice is for Jay Mewes to make an appearance for a Bluntman and Chronic cameo.
Oh man. Could you imagine a set of Bluntman/Chronic/C*ck Knocker side missions? That would be rad!
The fatman in batman! I’m getting it now for sure
I’m fairly sure that it would have made Ol’ Fat Kev’s day when he was approached about this cameo.
Needs more Adam West.
I was just about to mention this. I did read a few months ago that West was voicing an alternate version of Batman…?
and yes I’m stoked as hell for Kev Smith to be in the game… now he just needs a cameo in an upcoming star wars film and I’m sure he will die a happy man.
