If you could create your own animated Batman, Superman, or Justice League series what type of style would you go with? Frank Miller, Tim Burton, Chris Nolan, Bruce Timm, etc. Who would your cast of voices be? Kevin Conroy, Adam West, Christian Bale? On this thread you can post your voice cast, style, and even pictures of your version of an animated Batman series.
I would go with Christopher Nolan and twist it a bit. Anyways I made this for fun and what is kind of like a sequal to the other popualar thread, My ideal casting for the future movies!!!

B:TAS pretty much nailed it for me.
I only wish the writing on the revamp retained the visual look of the original.
Of course, I am a HUGE fan of the streamlined look of industrial designers of the late 1930s. I even have a small library of books on the designers of that period.
FYI: many of the designs on that show are based closely on REAL designs from the late 1930s. For example, the plane at the end of the first Zartana episode (the one the magician/crook takes off in) is based directly on one proposed by Norman Bel Geddes. They even made full-scale mock ups and full plans for it. http://flickr.com...472624053
I'd like to see a Batman anime series. I'd want it to be in the same style as the Deadshot short in Gotham Knight. I'd still keep Kevin Conroy and I enjoyed David McCallum's Alfred. I would change the voice of Gordon back to Bob Hastings though.
The only thing stopping you from success is doubt.

That'd be really cool. One of the things I think would be cool would be to have a show with Batman well into his career, like have a large Bat-Family around him, Nightwing, Huntress, Time Drake Robin, etc.

God I thought McCallum's Alfred was horrible. Just a hack posh English voice with nothing more to it than that.
Plus I don't care much for Conroy. I realise he's popular with a lot of fans and all, he just sounds like a generic super-hero to me, again not much depth. Plus I'm firmly ensconced in the camp that says Batman disguises his voice, this is really important in the comics as well - partly to conceal his identity, and partly because Bruce loses himself in an animalistic persona.
This guy goes into the hospital, okay?...
His wife's just had a baby and he can't wait to see them both.
So he meets the doctor and he says, "Oh, Doc, I've been so worried. How are they?"
And the Doctor smiles and says, "They're fine, just fine. Your wife's delivered a healthy baby boy and they're both in tip-top form.
"You're one lucky guy."
So the guy rushes into the maternity ward with his flowers.
But it's empty.
His wife's bed is empty.
"Doc?" he says and turns around and the doctor and all the nurses wave their arms and scream in his face.
"APRIL FOOL! YOU'RE WIFE'S DEAD AND THE BABY'S A SPASTIC!!"

I've not seen much of Gotham Knight, but I know in BTAS Conroy had drastically different voices for Bruce Wayne and Batman. In fact, while Michael Keaton was the first actor to change his voice for the dual roles, Conroy was the one who pioneered it not just being a whisper, but a full on change in voice.

You reckon? Never sounded that different to me, but I haven't seen a great deal of it since it was first out.
Either way I always imagined in the comics pretty much what Bale does, actually what most Death Metal vocalists do, naturally but dramatically distorting the voice.
But that's not my main gripe, I just find Conroy et al too one-dimensional and cartoony in the DCAU, which is fair enough I guess given it is a cartoon. But I still thing it lets down the otherwise edgier/grittier/more adult tone of Gotham Knight.
