Anyone know if it's in the DCAU?

Thinking back to how Batman: Arkham Asylum used a lot of the original voices from the DCAU Batman series, do you think this game will follow the same path for the major NPCs (Superman, etc.) by getting the voices from the Justice League series? Yes, I realize having the same voices doesn't automatically put it in the same continuity as the series- but it would be a cool nod to the fans, and give it somewhat of the same feel.

I know it's a dirty game, but it's the only one The Man left us to play.

I haven't played the game yet and it doesn't look all that interesting...

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a direct continuation of the series which is nice.

Fact: 31.5% of IMDb users wanted Avatar to win Best Picture.

Of Batman: The Animated Series? No, it isn't.
It uses some of the same voice actors and has Paul Dini on writing duties... that's it.
There's no continuity between them.

Otherwise, the backstory is more or less based on that of the comics.

And the sequel, Arkham City, establishes that the games are set in their own universe entirely (the game will be the first time Batman has ever encountered Hugo Strange, according to the crew behind it).
