Batman: Under the Red Hood

So, Amazon US is taking pre-orders for Batman: Under the Red Hood, you know, the animated movie with Jensen Ackles' voicing Red Hood?



Well, does it make me a geek that I'm actually considering buying this? I actually have three good reasons, you know?

a) I used to love the Batman animated series, though I hated the Batman Beyond one where Bruce Wayne was an old, rickety guy and the new Batman looked kinda ridiculous.
b) Jensen Ackles! \o/
c) I started reading comic books lately - right now, I'm reading "Lex Luthor: Man of Steel" - and I'm loving it...

Anyone else considering giving this one a go?

Man, I feel geeky! And I'm lovin' it! *dances*

ETA: Man, I love this vid: Andrea Romano talks about Jensen's work on the movie!

I'm going to track it down, certainly. Under the Hood is one of the classic batfamily stories.

I'm unsure about the casting for Nightwing, NPH is too tenor for me, but we'll see, I could be wrong.

And Andrea Romano (the voice casting director) is a goddess in voice casting. If she says Jensen is good (and she has been very complimentary) then jensen is GOOD.

I tracked down a vid where Andrea Romano talks about Jensen, how this one emotional scene moved her to tears, how awesome he was... Now I really need to get my hands on the movie!

And in the promo, Batman holding... who was it?... in his arms. Wow! Need it! Batman is hands down my favorite comic hero!
