Casting Rumor Suggests Robin in Arkham Asylum 2
If the rumor does pan out, it makes one wonder which Robin he would be playing. Dick Grayson has long since become Nightwing, so Arkham Asylum 2 would have to take place in the past for it to be the first Robin. Martella could be playing Jason Todd, as he is in the movie, but Todd was killed by the Joker. That could lend itself to flashbacks or Scarecrow sequences, but likely not an active role. If Martella is a playable Robin, the smart money is on Tim Drake, who is both age-appropriate and alive.
In other casting news, many of the familiar voices from Arkham Asylum are said to return on the IMDb page, along with the inclusion of Bruce Greenwood as Two-Face. You may recall Greenwood as Christopher Pike from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. He is also credited for a role in the upcoming Batman cartoon, as the Bat himself.
Could this be the voice of the the Boy Wonder? The IMDb listing for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 has kicked up rumors of Robin appearing in the game. Actor Vincent Martella (above) is credited to play the role. IMDb isn't always reliable for casting notes, but surrounding information suggests this one could be accurate. Martella has experience in game voice acting, having lent his voice to Hope in Final Fantasy XIII. He's also listed to play "Young Jason Todd / Robin" in the upcoming direct-to-DVD movie Batman: Under the Red Hood.
