Although there once was a time where Nolan North played everyone and everything, it's Troy Baker who has that honour these days. He seems to be in pretty much every major release, and so it was somewhat inevitable when his paths crossed with the Arkham series in 2013's Origins prequel.

Baker had big shoes to fill in that game as he took on the part of the Clown Prince of Crime. He delivered a fantastic performance though, aided by an equally fantastic script from Corey May, Ryan Galletta and Dooma Wendschuh. He was great, but here's the thing - Baker had already played two roles in the Arkham series before in Arkham City as Two-Face and Robin.

That in itself makes for a unique filmography, but Baker followed up his appearance in Origins as the Joker with one in Telltale's Batman game as the Dark Knight himself.

How many other actors have played both the Caped Crusader and his arch rival? Only a couple - but Baker is also the only one to voice Batman, Joker, Two-Face and Robin.
