Despite recent reports to the contrary, longtime Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy has confirmed he will return for the upcoming prequel video game Batman: Arkham Origins.

Batman News reports that while appearing over the weekend at Dallas Comic-Con, Conroy revealed he has been working on the game for the past nine or 10 months but has been prevented by a non-disclosure agreement from talking about the project.

"It's an unbelievable game," he told the crowd. "I still can't say anything about it [...] but it's amazing. It's a huge, huge cast, and a big story, and it took almost a year to write and put together. They've been working on it for a long time."

Update (8:21 a.m.): A Warner Bros. spokesman tells IGN.com that "Roger Craig Smith is confirmed as the voice of Batman and Troy Baker is confirmed as the voice of The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins," which could mean, as the site suggests, that Conroy is lending his voice for a framing sequence, playing another character entirely, or working on another Arkham game.

Arriving Oct. 25 from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Warner Bros. Games Montreal, Arkham Origins takes place before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, when eight of the world's greatest assassins come to Gotham City on Christmas Eve to kill Batman. According to Joystiq, Deathstroke will be a playable character available to those who pre-order the game through Amazon.
