Yep, ...Yeah, so that made my day when I found out.<br /><br />Yep, I'm awesome. And Nightwing is so much faster than Bats it's ridiculous, he may even be faster than Selina. And yeah, that's the one thing that bothers me, I wanted him to talk and crack jokes, but whatever. I'll make my own jokes. :PJason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-31644787526072136332011-11-01T23:15:53.151-04:002011-11-01T23:15:53.151-04:00Awesome on both fronts, JT!

I was impressed with myself when I got a 53 hitter with Bats! I dled NW but didn't get around to playing as him yet. I didn't see him in the PSN until like 8:30, and by that time I was working on the computer and didn't feel like playing. I am a bit annoyed that supposedly NW doesn't talk at all... If that's true that's kind of lame... Like Spidey, one of NW's most powerful weapons is his one-liners!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-86802295737064953202011-11-01T23:09:26.067-04:002011-11-01T23:09:26.067-04:00Yeah, although Mark Hamill recently said he'd ...Yeah, although Mark Hamill recently said he'd still voice Joker for the Arkham games if they wanted him, as well as if they ever do a Killing Joke animated film.<br /><br />Speaking of Arkham City, Nightwing is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet, I just got a 112 hit combo with him...Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-8893511670850678922011-11-01T23:07:09.332-04:002011-11-01T23:07:09.332-04:00I recall hearing(from JT I believe) that Hamill sa...I recall hearing(from JT I believe) that Hamill said he wasn't going to do Joker anymore after Arkham City, so I can imagine that it must be a tough one to pull off, Jermox. I mean just the laughter alone must be a bitch to pull off, let alone the voice itself. <br /><br />Yeah, I didn't realize going in it was going to be such a direct adaption of the comic story... It's like I said, I'm fine with a comic story ending in an open fashion, because you know it can easily be revisited down the road. But I like my movies to either have a guaranteed sequel(like Cap) or a definitive ending. They changed the beginning for the better, I just wished they'd have changed up the ending as well...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-16941353551873195292011-11-01T01:46:09.798-04:002011-11-01T01:46:09.798-04:00If it makes a difference, I remember in a intervie...If it makes a difference, I remember in a interview Hamill stating that doing the Joker voice is exhausting. And, after having found a video of him doing the Joker voice, it looked exhausting. I figure the Joker voice is harder, it just annoys me how many people can screw up the Batman voice.<br /><br />I pretty much figured this movie would be open ended like this. They have been doing adaptation of arcs as movies for awhile so I half expected that this movie would end without Jason Tood being redeemed or captured.jermoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260256232935630988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-64630705684018165542011-10-31T22:54:23.783-04:002011-10-31T22:54:23.783-04:00Cool.

Do you think...Let me put it a different way, JT... Do you think it's easier doing Batman or Joker? I think that's the point I was(badly!) trying to make. I feel you can find more actors who can do a good to great Batman than actors who can do a good to great Joker. Being able to act Joker-crazy is something that's GOT to be tough to do! Bats is more moody/dark, Joker is just nuts! You've got to be a superb actor to act THAT crazy!<br /><br />I can forgive it because we KNOW it's leading into the Avengers movie(it even says so after the last scene!). Yeah, it DID annoy me how this one ended(I said as much in the post), but since we know we're DEFINITELY getting a continuation of the story, I can live with it. If we knew for SURE that we were gonna get a sequel to this film, I'd definitely be more forgiving.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-92018457897478708452011-10-31T15:15:20.079-04:002011-10-31T15:15:20.079-04:00"So wait, are you saying that the guy who pla..."So wait, are you saying that the guy who played Bats in Dark Knight didn't do a good job, JT?"<br /><br />Nope, I didn't say that. His Batman voice was growly though, and not clearly not as good as Conroy or Greenwood's in Under the Red Hood and Young Justice. And like Jermox mentioned, the guy in Batman: Year One also shows that it's not easy to do a convincing Batman voice..<br /><br />I'm not even gonna comment on the irony of you hating movies that have open endings, then giving Captain America a 9/10 when it ends with him in the middle of NYC wondering how he got there and being confused beyond all reason.

Cause that would surprise me! But honestly, I'd think doing Bats would be WAY easier to do than Joker. Granted, I doubt everybody could do Batman's voice, but I'd think more actors could convincingly pull that voice off as opposed to Joker.<br /><br />I guess I was the only one who was bothered by the way this one ended? :P I understand why they'd end the movie as they did, but I've always hated movies that don't REALLY end... I guess it could have been worse, if they really wanted to keep it close to the comics, it could have ended with Chemo falling from the sky!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-15239506378705558032011-10-31T05:46:02.612-04:002011-10-31T05:46:02.612-04:00I like to watch the DCAU videos so after just watc...I like to watch the DCAU videos so after just watching Batman: Year One I can easily say that the Batman voice doesn't come off as easy (although I guess the guy who voiced Batman here is also doing it for Young Justice).

Come on, JT, you should be impressed enough that I actually managed to watch THIS movie! :D<br /><br />I think that's what bugged me... What if there IS no sequel? I mean it's not like DC sat down and decided, "Hey, let's make this story a trilogy of animated flicks!" or something like that. It was probably more along the lines of, "If this movie does well, maybe we'll do another..." With the comics an open-ended finish is okay, because you can always revisit it down the road, but for a movie, where there's no guarantee of a second film, I'd have liked to see something(Bats letting Jason get away, Jason digging Bats out and then leaving on his own accord, etc) to give me some closure... I'd have added another 1/2 if that had happened. <br /><br />Yeah, the thing with Nightwing WAS weird, because he was there for absolutely NO reason... Seriously, why was he there? To establish that Bats isn't a fuck-up with all of his Robins, and that some make it past 15? Couldn't they have done that through a quick flashback? I mean being a NW mark you KNOW I was happy to see him here, but you are 100% correct, there was literally no reason for him to be in this... He did NOTHING!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-28724544247256390832011-10-31T00:34:16.440-04:002011-10-31T00:34:16.440-04:00You clearly still haven't seen Dark Knight... ...You clearly still haven't seen Dark Knight... or you'd take that comment back.<br /><br />I enjoyed it, it was ambiguous and since there was no body it opens a return for a sequel.

After playing Arkham City for almost two weeks now, and hearing so much of Hamill doing Joker, everything else just sounds like a WAY lesser version. Who knows, if I'd have watched this back when it first came out, the Joker voice thing may not have even bugged me. But hearing Hamill voicing Mistah J earlier in the day and then watching this made me really notice that Joker's voicing wasn't up to Hamill's impossibly high standards.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-40568649933296406432011-10-30T23:44:23.884-04:002011-10-30T23:44:23.884-04:00An 8/10?!
