Love Bader by Darth Busey	Jul 25th, 2008 11:57:55 AM
He brings something great to every project he's part of.
Conroy? by OBSD	Jul 25th, 2008 12:43:53 PM
I still don't understand the decision to not cast Kevin Conroy as Batman in these things. Also, "A lighter tone" for Batman? Really? Why does Warner Brothers have this need to shift Batman towards the campy side? It's as if everytime some critic says "Batman's too dark for 3 year olds", WB says "No, wait! He can be goofy too, see?"
Bader was the voice of Zeta by themikejonas	Jul 25th, 2008 12:45:14 PM
You know, the android fugitive from that spinoff from Batman Beyond (more precisely, Bill Lumbergh originated the character, but Bader took over the role in a subsequent episode and in the spinoff TV series).
any links to the animation yet? by shogunshin	Jul 25th, 2008 12:46:02 PM

Danger Theater!!! by Jarek	Jul 25th, 2008 04:50:04 PM
Now there is a series that needs a DVD. I have no idea how many episodes they made, I only got to see a few when it first premiered. I remember a very Zucker-esque feel and a ton of great sight gags. I hope it doesn't suck if I do get to see it now that I'm older, but I still remember wishing there was more.
I like Bader by lord_zedd	Jul 25th, 2008 06:11:34 PM
But God save us...

Nice
NOOOOO! by Baked	Jul 25th, 2008 06:20:57 PM
I didn't even read the entire interview. I got hooked on the DARK Batman when I was 6 and a couple of years earlier I was watching 60's reruns on Nick at Nite. STOP TALKING DOWN TO CHILDREN!
Nothing but patronizing garbage by Cannabis Holocaust	Jul 25th, 2008 07:17:44 PM

Get any more kid friendly than "The Batman" and by Cannabis Holocaust	Jul 25th, 2008 07:20:00 PM
you'll basically have Dora the Explorer in a cape and cowl.
Kids deserve better than this shit by Cannabis Holocaust	Jul 25th, 2008 07:20:40 PM

We were lucky to have Batman: TAS at that age by Cannabis Holocaust	Jul 25th, 2008 07:26:11 PM
It doesn't matter if you're 5 or 50, it was an amazing show that ANYBODY can watch and enjoy. It's too bad no one seems to have enough respect for children's intelligence these days to give them quality programming instead of this patronizing bullshit. Peace.
This has SUCK written all over it. by Optimus Primal	Jul 25th, 2008 07:32:29 PM
No Kevin Conroy, a "lighter" Batman spouting jokes and one liners. No thank you.
YES DANGER THEATRE RULES!! by the milf lover	Jul 25th, 2008 08:39:17 PM
Bader was great as The Searcher! "you dont have to thank a man for doing his job!" There was only 7 episodes and they do need to put it out on dvd! How much would it fucking cost? Its one disc, 12$ should cover it!
Well if this is going to be on Cartoon network by Rufferto	Jul 25th, 2008 10:35:40 PM
It will get canceled in 2 to 3 years tops like anything else that cost them any money at all. So that's the good news.
WB is messing up the crown jewels by wowsah156	Jul 26th, 2008 01:15:19 AM
Therte is noly ONE way to portray The Batman. Dark and grim. Making Batman out to be "humerous" and "friendly" is going to confuse the bat property and weaken the character. Whoever greenlit this show at WB needs sacked. The Bat is a scary bastard who beats up killers for SPORT, and here we have the WB attempting to make it a fun show. WB fucks up again.
by MikeTheSpike	Jul 26th, 2008 10:25:44 AM
Ha, you nerds, this show sounds fine. Quit acting like it's the end of the world and lighten up. At least it doesn't appear to be the Poochiefied pander that The Batman was.
Conroy IS Batman, accept no others by Chief Joseph	Jul 26th, 2008 01:26:10 PM
I don't know why they keep recasting the role all the time. For me, and I suspect most others my age, he IS Batman. Accept no substitutions. Thank you to the producers of Gotham Knight for hiring Conroy and jeers to these new guys.
DIEDRICH FUCKING BADER AS BATMAN?! by Nasty In The Pasty	Jul 26th, 2008 01:41:04 PM
Why not just cast Adam West again?
yeah, sucks to be Bader by ciroslive	Jul 26th, 2008 02:14:09 PM
because there is NO other animated Batman than Kevin Conroy. He should be under contract to choose to voice Batman for all new properties...
and the ComicCon footage sucks too by filmfanatic1	Jul 26th, 2008 04:23:34 PM
As much as Bader is a good guy, this project looks so campy that it makes Super Friends look dark. http://tinyurl.com/6h6t5b
