Sorry had to do it. Now who wants to be we hear Batman or Nightwing say "Shut up Robin!"?
And to think, until I first found a thread like this I wondered why Wil's old page had a front-page disclaimer where you had to basically state that you understood that the site owner was an actor who played a character as written by various authors, not the 'actual' Wesley.John Funk said:
Now, I wonder why his page doesn't STILL have it.
(C'mon folks. You call yourselves gamers? You've heard of PAX, right? You know what a keynote is, right? You know who's repeatedly given the keynote to great acclaim? It wasn't Wesley bloody Crusher, that's for sure.)
Potential for great voice acting after Wil Wheaton was announced as Robin: 87%
Potential for great voice acting with Corey Burton as Braniac: 107%
Potential for great voice acting with Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn: IT'S OVER 9000!! ZOH MY GOD!

Don't forget Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres, James Marsters, and other Whedonverse actors as well as the teen titans cartoon voice cast reprising their roles and Mark Hamill's penultimate appearance as The Joker. I think the potential for great voice acting just broke the charts.The Great JT said:
Hate the character, not the actor buddy. It's not his the character was written that way. And if you're a trekkie you know he hates wesley just as much as you do.Metzeten said:
I was about to suggest the exact same thing. NPH for Nightwing all the way! Now if we can just get them to bring back Phil Lamar to voice (my favorite green lantern) John Stewart; though I think as of now all we've got is the Hal Jordan green lantern.AbsoluteVirtue18 said:

Meh, I knew about this when Wil Wheaton posted this on his Twitter. He also confirmed he did some voice acting in New Vegas as well.
It's interesting to see the cast they are assembling.
I'm not sure how well Wil Wheaton will be able to voice Robin though given that the picture shows a very young Robin which isn't in keeping with the current comics continuity where Tim Drake is college age at least (it's been a while).
I get that they are going for stereotypical portrayals and all of that, but I'm not sure if Wil Wheaton despite playing a brain kid years ago when he's younger, can still sound like a little kid for purposes of voice acting.
I'm not a big Wesley Crusher fan, that much is true, but this has me wondering about this casting choice for other reasons.
Of course I suppose with the rest of the people they are bringing on board, if he didn't fit, they probably wouldn't use him.
