Batman: Under The Red Hood

[Goufunaki]

I don't remember seeing this here, but just saw a commercial and thought it popped out of of nowhere. Comes out on the 27th.

Looks neat.

Bruce Greenwood as Batman. John DiMaggio as The Joker. Jensen Ackles as Red Hood. Jason Isaacs as Ra's Al Gul. Aaaaaand Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing!

Batman sounds a lot like Solid Snake to me.

JOHN DIMAGGIO???

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

I have a very hard time taking anything Jensen Ackles does seriously. He's a fuggin soap opera pretty boy.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

I can deal with it.

I thought Hamil said doing that voice put a strain on his vocal chords.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

Tough titty. I just played through Arkham Asylum and I demand more Hamill as Joker, and if it hurts he just needs to be a man and suck it up. Heck, I had always liked the idea of him playing the role in Dark Knight, until actually seeing how well Ledger did with it.

Edit: Watched the video, he wasn't bad. He had the laugh down (probably part of what got him the job), but low-pitched Joker sticks out a bit. High-pitched is better to give an extra manic edge to the delivery.

It might be in poor taste, but I've heard people do Hamil's Joker before and some of them sound really good. I kinda wish they would hire someone to do it like him.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

Well, that'd be acceptable only if Hamill was turning it down outright, possibly due to the voice strain or something. If they hired a soundalike just to cut costs, it'd be dirty pool. It's not like Hamill can be that expensive, after all.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

Hamill's still doing Joker in DCU Online :V

Though that game has been in development for so long he could've done that years ago.

Hes also going to do Joker in the Arkahm Asylum 2. I dunno. I keep hearing about how its always the last time he'll do it, but then a new thing shows up with him doing Joker again.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

I just can't help but hear his previous... er... villainous role. Ahem.

As much as I want to see that game, I can't quite figure how they'll set it up. Will it be literally another romp through Arkham? Seems a bit too Bioshock 2-ish. Certainly there's tons of room for interesting villains to show up who didn't before (Mr. Freeze is a boss, I'm calling it right here; seems only fitting for a game so reliant on the 90's animated series to bring out the villain who was saved from lameness and obscurity by that cartoon), but the basic story behind whatever happens will have to be written carefully in order to avoid seeming unbelievable, even by comic standards.

But him coming back, that's good news.

Teaser suggests Arkham is busted open and the city is flooded with the inmates/patients.

Re: Batman: Under The Red Hood

I like the sound of that.
