BILLY BALDWIN TALKS ABOUT BATMAN IN JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS!
Voices from Krypton.com have posted a world exclusive behind the scenes look at Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Showing some animation sketches and talking with the actors who will be playing some of our favorite characters, including Billy Baldwin who will be voicing "Batman"...
Here is a snippet of what he had to say:
“I was mostly influenced by a classic interpretation of who I perceive Batman to be, with the possible exception that I think sometimes I allow a certain sensitivity or an emotional dynamic to give (the character) maybe a like ability or an accessibility. That's almost an insecurity of mine as an actor – to want to breathe a little bit of those types of emotions into characters, to make them more human.”
“There are a number of things that make playing Batman special. Certainly the history of the character is important. The people that have been lucky enough to portray Batman on screen, or provide his voice, is a short list and it's pretty cool. I'm in good company. I enjoyed it as a child, and the character still resonates for me. Plus I'm the father of an 8-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 4-year-old – my boy is sandwiched between his sisters, and he just loves super heroes. We watch Justice League together. I try not to let him overdo it too much with television, but there's great, wholesome messages that come out of that series. When I told him that I was playing Batman, his jaw dropped. I almost took him out of school to have him come down to see the recording.”
Writer Dwayne McDuffie also spoke about the relationship between Batman and the rest of the JL:
“For me, probably the interesting part about this is the rift between Batman and the rest of the group about the responsibilities of the Justice League on our earth,” he continues. “Our Justice League immediately charges over to the parallel earth to help out, and Batman stays here, because he feels his primary mission is to protect the world he lives in. That was interesting. I like setting up conflicts in the group where both sides actually have a point.”
