These are all spectacular picks! Personaly, I'd have liked to see Thomas Gibson from criminal minds play Batman, he had the height, the face, and the acting ability. Unfortunatly, I think he may be a bit too old now.
You know, I wouldn't have thought about Gregory Peck in this role, but now that you mention it, that might have worked out. He had a smoldering depth to him that he could tap into...
As for a new Batman voice I’ll like see Vin Diesel reprise the role of Batman. Kevin Conroy will forever be LEGENDARY, but he’s gone now, and someone needs to keep immortalizing the Batman, and I genuine believe Vin Diesel has what it takes. Just imagine Batman with Riddick’s voice and y’all get the idea. 😉
I think he is too big of a star and wouldn't do small animated projects, and while is is likeable, I don't think he has enough acting chops to subtly convey the emotions. I think the possible successors to Kevin Conroy would either be Troy Baker or Roger Craig Smith. Personally I lean more towards Baker.
I agree with Sigma Armstrong that Vin Diesel doesn’t have the acting ability (not to say he’s bad) to play the role. While he might bring the intimidation and anger factor for the voice. But Batman not only has to be intimidating but also compassionate (enough to the to the point where he isn’t like Punisher). Plus Vin Diesel’s voice just wouldn’t fit for the Bruce Wayne personality or tone of voice. Bruce’s voice has always been higher pitched while Batman’s is lower. It’s all about subtlety which Vin Diesel sadly lacks.
I always thought Clint Eastwood would have been great in the 60s-70s. Rugged good looks, tall, and was believable as badass tough guy and ladies' man. If Keaton hadn't played Batman, I think Mel Gibson would have been great for similar reasons. If Hugh Jackman hadn't played Wolverine, I think he would have been a fantastic choice. Or another idea. I even think Kevin Conroy could have been Batman in the 70s and 80s. Dye his hair black and probably could have been Batman's equivalent to Christopher Reeve.
🦖: Sup Schizofenik. I recently picked up the NECA Jungle Hunter from the first Predator. He looks dope standing on my desk. I mess around with him every now and then, because he's so cool looking.~ 👀👀 I just can't wait for even more Predator content. 👍🏻
