@Mr.Fennoy93 I Think Steve Blum As Two Face
Is Better

@B.A.Alcantra Why not both? XD

@TheVengeanceKnight This guy's got the right idea!

@TylerMirage Who Has The Right Idea

@B.A.Alcantra TheVengeance Knight does. ;)

@Curt Unfortunately, The Powers That Be seem to prefer casting new actors as opposed to bringing back the ones the fans want. =(

@TheVengeanceKnight "What fans want" is one of the most subjective and vague statements present in any fandom. You and Curt are both fans that want Michael Ironside. I too am a fan, but I didn't want Michael Ironside. So tell me, which "fan" is correct? Which "fan" should The Powers That Be listen to? They, having creative control that you and I lack, have made a decision. It's their decision, not ours. :)

@TylerMirage ...what about Kevin Conroy?

@TheVengeanceKnight Again, it doesn't matter WHO the voice-actor is. Many fans want Conroy back (for obvious reason), and many are happy with getting someone fresh to have a new take on the character's voice. One fan's opinion on who should be cast holds no more or less weight than another fan's. It's the 'producers' choice. Conroy is great as Batman, don't get me wrong. But things get stale when you have the same VA doing the same thing for too long. There's different Megatrons (despite Frank Welker's popularity), there's different Iron Mans, different Optimus', etc..

It goes back to the whole "what fans want"-thing. That statement is holds different value from every. individual. fan. :)

@TylerMirage "But things get stale when you have the same VA doing the same thing for too long."

A lot of people will disagree.

@TheVengeanceKnight And a lot of people will agree as well. Hence why actors play a multitude of characters in their career, hence why authors write different books, why directors try different genres, why people get different jobs after extended periods of time, etc., etc., etc..

What was the original point of this discussion again? Oh yes, "what fans want" is a completely subjective statement based on each. individual. person's. opinions and tastes. If the casting director didn't go with Conroy or Ironside, it doesn't matter. It's THEIR choice. "What fans want" =/= equal "everybody wants Conroy to always be Batman". :)

*For the record I do thoroughly enjoy Conroy's work as Batman. :)

@Curt Unfortunately Michael Ironside is most likely not doing voice-over anymore, seeing how he recently left his claim-to-fame as the role of Sam Fisher. It's a shame, really; he's really awesome and I've always thought he could contribute much much more to the industry.

@TheVenganceKnight,TylerMirage Kevin Conroy IS extremely well-reowned by a vast majority of the DC fanbase and there's no saying that there are only a select few who don't enjoy his work. Still, I'm willing to give a stand-in a fair chance, which is something we've all had to do for the past few decades, given how many different incarnations there are of Batman.

@Music Meister Well, if Superman can PUNCH FIRE WITH HIS FISTS, then Batman can certainly fight lightning. ;)

@Music Meister It's based on the cover of the original comic.

@TheVengeanceKnight His chin is bigger than his face

@Music Meister As TVK pointed out, not only is the image based on TDKR cover, but even Batman's physical appearance here is heavily based on his stocky, 'square-ish' design. He's very buff in the comic. Heck, wait until we see what Superman might look like (if he appears in this movie). He'll have a head built like an office-building. ;)

@TylerMirage His chin is wider then his head. It's like he injected Venom into it.

@Music Meister Ever seen Transformers Animated? ;) Now *those* are chins.

Or heck, Bruce Campbell and Jay Leno have similar (if less cartoony) features. ;) It's the particular style of the comic. It's not uncommon to have big, square jaws.

@pete I'm not a TF fan at all, but I saw that too. XD

@pete I wasn't a fan of his Black Mask in Red Hood. He sounded to caricature-ish to me, esp amongst a cast that sounded real and believable.

@pete No offense to Greenwood, but I really don't think Young Justice is taking *too* much time away from his schedule. They probably just wanted a different VA for Batman just to keep things interesting.

@Foxwolf Not saying I liked or hatd it but I prefer James Remar as Black Msk. I hope Wade does an original performance no Black Mask voice or going for a Richard Moll inspired voice easier.

@TheVengeanceKnight The prospect of Steve Blum as Batman is really cool! :D I wonder if that's ever gonna' happen.

@TylerMirage He voiced both Bats and Joker in the Lego Batman game, though that was just grunts and groans. Maybe he'll get some actual dialogue for both those guys in the second game.

@TheVengeanceKnight How old are you? Peter Weller was Robocop.

@Caley 17

@Caley Way to be condescending.

@Sokka2Me I think Bruce Greenwood would be better. Conroy is awesome and all but he needs to move on. Playing Batman has typecasted him too much.

@pete He is typecast, but I don't think it's the producers fault. I think they fans did that successfully. I mean even Hamill has a diversity in the universe. It's probably also the reason he retired from Joker as well.

@pete Blasphemy.

@Aquafox84 Yeah DCAU fanboys wanting more,more, more of Hamill as Joker must hve wore him down.

@Aquafox84 @pete Hamill retired because he wanted to end on a high note (Arkham City), not because of the fans. If anything, the fans are probably what will convince Hamill to return as Joker, because of his interest in doing an adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke.

@TheVengeanceKnight really? look at Conroy's page. He has only ever done 2 that AREN'T tied to Batman. Hamill was Ozai, Red Skull, Hobgoblin, Klaw, and a couple other roles BESIDES Joker. He probably did want to end on a high note with Arkham City, but if you read all of that article. he also mentioned not being remembered just for Joker.

@Aquafox84 Yes really.

@pete Greenwood is actually a good batman, I can see that.

@pete

Kevin Conroy doesn't "need" to do anything he doesn't want to. If he wants to keep voicing Batman, let him! And anyone who has a problem with that needs to deal with it.

@ninjinister lol. when we add the ability to "like" comments, I'm totally coming back and liking this one.

@Foxwolf Count me in on that 'liking' action too, Fox. :)

@ninjinister Well, it appears that I 'Shout This Out!' *does* work, Fox. :D

@PurpleWarrior13 I thought the name sounded familiar! XD

And yeah, I hate how they keep changing actors for these characters, especially since we already have people who nail them 150%. If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

@PurpleWarrior13 The Joker was in the comic if that helps you assume he'll be in this. Not a fan of the comic but his part was pretty good.

@TheVengeanceKnight If there's one thing that DC animated productions is well-known for, it isn't consistency. Even though both Conroy and Hamill have firmly established themselves in the roles of Batman and Joker, respectively, they've still went through at least a dozen other VAs.

@Music Meister I think you might be thinking of the upcoming CG television series, 'Beware the Batman', which has a very stylistic design aesthetic (where Batman has a sort of triangle-face, as you describe). 'The Dark Knight Returns' Batman face is very large and blocky; pretty much a square, as seen in this pic:

@Music Meister Darn link. Thought it would hyperlink.

Also, forgot to point out as well, this is an new animated MOVIE, not a series. :)

@TylerMirage
My bad

@Music Meister No worries.

@AMT me too. maybe they'll have cameos.

@Foxwolf Well I know Williams and McKean have voiced in at least one batman show, but I wouldn't really call them veterans just yet... They were usually playing minor one-episode characters, but hey, like you said, maybe the more core ones will have cameos! =D

@AMT Mckean is a veteran TV actor though. He has had more than a few roles by that route. He should voice atleast one MIB game though. He is a Man in Black.
