Kevin Conroy, Voice of Batman, Discusses Christian Bale’s Batman Voice
At a panel at last weekend’s C2E2, someone asked Kevin Controy — the voice of Batman during the wonderful Batman:TAS and much of the DCUC — asked Christian Bale’s “Batman voice” in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Suffice to say Kevin Conroy does not approve, although he doesn’t blame Bale as much as he does the many, many people around him who never told him he sounded like an idiot. Thanks to Zortt1 for the tip. (Via Screen Rant)
Oh! In other Batman voice news, Kotaku reports that Mr. Freeze and Talia al Ghul will be villains in Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, as accidentally mentioned on the twitters of actress Stana Katic and Maurice LaMarche. Exciting!
