Look One at Year One Results in Complaint One


Now than Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is out, so is the preview for DC’s next straight-to-DVD animated feature, Batman: Year One. Now, there’s not any really footage, just a few character designs and the normal assorted talking heads of Bruce Timm, Andrea Romano, Dan Didio, and the voice actors. But those voice actors… Bryan Cranston is going to make a perfect Jim Gordon, I have no doubt, but I think Eliza Dushku as Selina Kyle is just going to sound like Eliza Dushku. But my real problem is Ben McKenzie of Southland and The O.C. as Batman. I think McKenzie a decent actor, but listen to him in this video — he sounds horrible. He sounds utter devoid of personality as Bruce Wayne, and his Batman sounds like he’s doing a shitty impression of Christian Bale’s already ridiculous Batman voice. He may actually be worse than Billy Baldwin from Crisis on Two Earths, and I didn’t even think that was possible.(Via The Daily What)
