Certain parts sounded like the scene from the first transformers 2007 movie where the transformers are racing to the dam. Also racing downtown for the finale battle
Batman: Under the Red Hood
- Thread starter Servo
- Start date
Works for me.
I like the idea of a couple different people doing Batman's voice, actually. I've always liked that idea.
I can't even recall if the Riddler actually said anything at all. Good flick, though, and a huge improvement on how Todd was brought back in the DCU.
Maybe it was just oofs and grunts in a fight scene. Sometimes folks like Timm or Andrea Romano will do a character's exertion noises or the like when the main actor isn't available or doesn't get the hang of it, or if it's a bit part where there's no main actor. (For instance, Romano did the crazed laughter of Tim Drake in the Return of the Joker flashbacks -- and she did an amazing job.)
I believe he does respond to Robin once as well as the grunts and oofs Christopher suggested. I will say that this seemed as close to TAS as we've seen from any of the Warner Animated films. I geeked out when I saw the Batmobile resembled the TAS/Tim Burton Batmobile and Batwing designs. I've watched it twice now and just love everything about it. I only hope that Superman/Batman II: Apocalypse is as good I dont' think it will be better.
Rather than dig up my old thread from last year that has an outdated title, what do people here think of all the animated DC straight-to-DVD titles? I've been looking at the reviews and they all seem to have as many positives and negatives to them.
I already own Wonder Woman, Justice League: The New Frontier and Superman: Doomsday, but am hesitating on opening them. I read that Public Enemies was pretty bad. Will definitely be getting Under the Red Hood.

Overall I think they've been average to good at best. I have the following:
-Superman: Doomsday
-Wonder Woman
-Green Lantern: First Flight
Have seen all of them. Unlike others I enjoyed "Public Enemies" but am really looking forward to "Apocalypse" more and hated "Crisis For Two earths". Under the Red Hood is my favorite with First Flight Second and Wonder Woman third.

Huh? The TAS Batmobile looked nothing like the Burton one.
It does to me...the TAS one is more streamlined and sleeker but it still has that same basic design as the first film's Batmobile. Wikipedia seems to agree with me as well.

I see an influence from the Burton films on the B:TAS Batmobile, too.
As for Batman: Under the Red Hood, I pre-ordered it on Blu-ray and it arrived yesterday in the mail. I watched it last night and I think it's the best of the DC Universe line to date. It has the best pacing of the movies and the story fits neatly into the confines of a 75-minute movie without feeling truncated. The animation, character designs, score, and voice acting are all top notch. Bruce Greenwood is excellent as Batman - even giving Kevin Conroy a run for his money in my opinion - and Jensen Ackles, Neil Patrick Harris, John DiMaggio, and Jason Isaacs all do great work. The movie also has a very strong emotional core to it. This is the creepiest version of the Joker to date in animation in my opinion.
The Jonah Hex short is very enjoyable, too, with Thomas Jane doing really good voice work. The short evokes classic westerns very effectively in its score and slightly sepia tone colors.

It says "vaguely resembled." That's not in agreement with "the same basic design."
Well, I can see some vague design similarities -- they're both long and black and have fins -- but they're drastically different for the most part. The Burton-movie Batmobile is curvilinear and complicated and maybe a little organic, while the TAS Batmobile is dominated by clean, straight lines, a sideways Art Deco skyscraper with wheels. The TAS Batmobile is emphatically a 1940s vision of a supercar, while the Burton-mobile is harder to pin down to an era, though the fins and the huge jet turbine evoke the '50s. The only place I see any significant similarity of design is the cockpit cowling.
Of course, it's subjective. I really like the TAS Batmobile -- I have a toy of it (and the TAS Batwing) sitting on top of my TV -- but the Burton one is too garish for me (though nowhere near as garish as the Schumacher versions, which are so far beyond "garish" that no suitable adjective exists).

The B:TAS Batmobile basically takes the one from the Burton movies and streamlines it, keeping the same basic design for the cockpit and big jet-like exhaust.
Either way my point was that I'm glad that a version of that Batmobile appeared in the film as it's my favorite version of the Batmobile.
^See, and that confuses me, because to my eye they're two radically different Batmobiles. So which one, specifically, does the one in this movie resemble? Not trying to be argumentative, I just genuinely don't understand what you're describing.
The movie Batmobile from specifically the first Burton film is what I was referring to from Under the Red Hood. It's possible I phrased my comment incoherently.
Oh. Too bad. I never really cared for that design, or for the Burton version of Batman.
