I know, I know, it’s not Mark Hamill, but Hamill appears to be sticking to his guns saying he is done with the character. Troy Baker voiced Booker DeWitt in [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link], Joel in [amazon_link id=”B007CM0K86″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Last of Us[/amazon_link] and also Robin and Two-Face in [amazon_link id=”B002I0F5M8″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Batman: Arkham City[/amazon_link], so he definitely has the chops to pull this off.
