Fans convinced legendary Batman actor is voicing Jason in GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto fans have been trying to figure out who the actors behind our two new protagonists are, and some reckon they've cracked it.
The trailer for GTA 6 just released, thanks to someone leaking it and Rockstar quickly publishing the real thing early, and we got our first big look at protagonists Lucia and Jason.
Watch the trailer:

While it all looks lovely we'll have to wait until 2025 until the game actually releases, but between then and now we can engage in all the delicious speculation we like.
One point fans are wondering is just who is lending their voices to Lucia and Jason, and plenty reckon they've already figured out the latter.
After hearing just a few words from Jason in the trailer some gamers are convinced he'll be played by Troy Baker, who has appeared in just so many games over the years.
Fans of Batman will recognise him as having played Batman, Robin, a different Robin, Joker and Two-Face over the course of several games and animated films.
Beyond that he's one of the most prolific voice actors in gaming, having played Joel in The Last of Us (and made a cameo in the TV series too), Talion in Shadow of Mordor and Revolver Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain among many other roles.

PEOPLE THINK THEY'VE FIGURED OUT GTA 6 RELEASE DATE
He certainly has a recognisable voice and the experience in taking a leading role in video games, which has meant some GTA fans are now convinced that Baker is Jason.
Fans have said the character 'sure sounds like Troy Baker' and that his voice 'definitely sounded very very familiar'.
Jason barely speaks in the GTA 6 trailer, which mainly focuses on Lucia, but from just a few words plenty are convinced they can tell who it is.
Not everyone is sure it's him, and there have been rumours swirling around that it might be Bryan Zampella instead.
Many have said that Rockstar tends to cast lesser known actors they 'think will be the best for the job', as while there have been some big name stars in the cast they have tended not to be the player characters.
Fans suggested that a voice actor as in-demand as Troy Baker might be 'too busy to commit to a five year mocap shoot'.
Others said Baker's voice was 'too recognisable' and would go against the grain of Rockstar's usual casting decisions.
Since it's such early days in getting a drip-feed of GTA 6 content we'll likely learn who's giving voice to Jason in due course and whether those fans who made their minds up after the trailer dropped were right.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release in 2025.
