Batman: Under the Red Hood

[katikat]

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 have never really been what you could call a comic geek but I do love Batman and I'm considering getting this, too, to see how Jensen does with only voice work. It's something different in a way than "regular" acting. Besides, I love his voice. :)

well if it's half as good as return of the joker or mask of the phantasm I'm sold
have you seen the crisis on infinite earths film yet with james woods? That's really good but Mark Harmon is superman - talk about messing with your head.....
it's one of the best movies I've seen this year, that's geeky

there's this fantastic line in it where Batman faces down his evil alterego, James Woods, and says "there is a difference between us, we both looked into the abyss, but you blinked" or something very similar and it was like BATMAN ROCKS!!!!!

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'm considering it, Jason/Red Hood is one of my favorite characters in DC. I'm not sure about Jensen as Jason though, actually all the casting is... interesting to say the least. But I think it's one of those things that's either going to be fantastic or just avert your eyes bad (that being said the original arc is flippin' fantastic, love that so much).
