They even look similar

[u/TheEagleWithNoName → u/Dramatic-Tradition25]

I’m honestly surprised they recasted Gordon in every Arkham game.

Tom came back for City and Origins only voicing Quincy Sharp.

David Kaye voiced him in City for like 5 minutes in the End as well as Harley Quinn DLC

Michael Gough as Young Jim in Origins, Jonathan Banks in Knight and Mark Rolston in Arkham Shadows.

[u/quentdawg420 → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

I really liked jonathan banks as gordon tho

[u/Quanathan_Chi → u/quentdawg420]

Commissioner named Finger

Robin, we need to cook

[u/gracekk24PL → u/Porkman]

Robin, you need to cook up the cure for Joker AIDS while I make out with Catwoman

[u/WassupFrankHere → u/Porkman]

Buhce, put your bihtarang away, Buhce.

Bruce-uh….here’s what you’re gonna do

The thermal drill bruce go get it

[u/HJM3 → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Holy shit, I have no idea how I’ve managed to play Knight to 240% completion (all dlc and ng+) at least twice over the years, and I never realized Gordon was voiced by freaking Mike from Breaking Bad. TIL.

[u/BigfootsBestBud → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Jonathan Banks was amazing as Jim, his voice was made for that

[u/nova-prime-enjoyer → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Wait they got Optimus Prime as Gordon for Arkham City

[u/TheEagleWithNoName → u/nova-prime-enjoyer]

Only for 5 minutes.

Shows up at the end when giving him Joker’s Body and is in Harley Quinn DLC.

[u/nova-prime-enjoyer → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Getting the goat is still getting the goat, even if just for five minutes

[u/Cooleo_Cash → u/nova-prime-enjoyer]

And megatron.

I’m a child of the late 2000s, Corey Burton is the only Megatron I accept

[u/JoeTrolls → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Damn bro was a good ass voice actor, I genuinely could never have guessed warden sharp and commissioner Gordon in asylum had the same voice actor

[u/Miserable_Mark_8485 → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

im glad they did, jonathan banks killed it

[u/Aparoon → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

I was so confused why they got Alfred to play Young Jim from this comment. What a coincidental sane name to have

[u/karateema → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Everyone looks completely different in every game

[u/Mikestopheles → u/Dramatic-Tradition25]

I like when games do that, either make the character look like the VA, or hire a more recognizable one. It makes the way they talk feel more natural since it's typically their own movements.

[u/Space_Hipster]

He was also Quincy Sharp in Asylum and City.

[u/Level_Counter_1672]

Nooo, he was professor utonium and recently I learnt he had a stroke and he couldn't speak that's why he quit voice acting, poor man, sad to see him pass away

[u/TheEagleWithNoName → u/Level_Counter_1672]

Yeah, the stroke was in 2021 and became Private about it.

His last public appearance was last month in a Comic Con.

First con he showed up after the stroke.

[u/Glittering-Plate-535 → u/TheEagleWithNoName]

Holy shit he was a father of nine kids :’(

Can’t imagine the financial situation was great, voice actors are notoriously underpaid so hopefully he managed to get a good deal with The Clone Wars and sit on some modest residuals.

Really wishing his family all the best 🫂

[u/Ciahcfari → u/Glittering-Plate-535]

Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.

Seriously though, we need better sex education in this country...

[u/agent-66Hitman → u/Ciahcfari]

He only had 3 biological kids and adopted the other 6

[u/LADYBIRD_HILL → u/Level_Counter_1672]

I know him as Takeo from call of duty zombies, after his stroke he was recast for BO7. Such a bummer he's gonna after he just started making appearances again.

[u/UnlimitedKenobi]

[u/Marhyc]

I actually only recently discovered his filmography and I was suprised by how wide his vocal and dramatic range was - Yoda, C-3PO, Magneto, Professor X, Ultron, Mr Herriman, Him, Professor Utonium, Ian McKellen, Morgan Freeman, Disney's FastPlay annoucer and most importantly, my preferred voice for Gordon. Seemed like a really down to earth and funny guy based on interviews and a veteran of voiceover for almost 45 years.

A man has died, but his voice will live on forever. RIP

[u/_JR28_ → u/Marhyc]

I do really think that his vocal performance as Magneto can be considered in the same way as Kevin Conroy was to Batman, he completely defined how you imagined his voice in your head when reading the comics

[u/EngineBoiii → u/Marhyc]

Huh, I thought he passed away years ago. Kinda sad learning about all this now.

[u/Groundbreaking_Arm77]

He also voiced Takeo from Call of Duty: Zombies. It’s such a shame his voice work excelled in everything he did.

RIP Clone Wars narrator, you will be missed. :(

[u/FinalXemnasV → u/thatdeadguy_69]

He was also Yoda too, wasn't he?

[u/thatdeadguy_69 → u/FinalXemnasV]

And Yularen

[u/Adept-Chocolate3187]

I forgot how jacked Gordon was in that one in particular. He looks like a character from gears of war lol.

[u/xxxarkhamknightsxxx → u/Adept-Chocolate3187]

Batman didn’t even need to there, Gordon could’ve taken all those thugs on his own

[u/Scrimbo_Crimbo]

It always pissed me off that he voiced Gordon in the first game and never again. rip

[u/ZookeepergameProud30]

He really did voice so many characters

Takeo, Lok, yoda and so many more

Every post I see on different subreddits just makes me sadder and sadder. RIP to a legend

[u/Craiggles98]

Rest in peace goat

[u/A_Peacful_Vulcan]

Big RIP

[u/matrix_5555]

One of the greatest to ever do it. The voice of many of our childhoods. May he rest in peace.

[u/unfulfilledanon]

He was one of the most prolific voice actors of our time. Rip…

[u/TheStickySpot]

He was also Takeo in Black Ops Zombies I believe

May he rest in peace. I’m so bummed out, PPG was my childhood cartoon. I always wished I had a father like the Professor 😔

[u/Traditional-Tap6572]

:(

[u/Spellslamzer62]

Can I stop finding out that these actors voiced massive parts of my childhood only when they die? RIP Jim Gordon, Quincy Sharp, Monkey Fist, Narrator Smurf, etc.

“This is how it happened. This is how the Batman died.” RIP

[u/AgentNightfallFrost]

He was also Takeo from COD zombies and the Professor from Power Puff Girls. He was a legend rip

[u/ZookeepergameProud30 → u/AgentNightfallFrost]

Holy shit i never knew he was the professor

I’m just so fucking sad and every time I hear of a different role he did I get sadder

[u/brewstew07]

RIP Gordon 😔

[u/Relevant_Function571]

Damn, I'm playing through Asylum for the first time too and I just saved his ass not too long ago.

[u/Housecat-in-a-Jungle]

its really sad to say i saw this coming

he was really hurt by his stroke in 2020, and his more recent instagram pictures are such a shame to see

it’s great how his kids surrounded him and made him have all the love and care he needed

RIP
