Voice actor Kevin Conroy recently said at Dallas Comic Con he was Batman once again, which led everyone more or less to believe he was reviving his role in Batman: Arkham Origins due out this fall. Not so.

Capcom may very well be announcing Resident Evil 7 next month at E3 in California if an alleged promotional poster still in the design phase is to be believed. It's best you keep that rumour-mill salt lick nearby.
