Batman: Year One - RECAST
Toby J Smith for Bruce Wayne/Batman
Billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham after being away for over a decade with a newfound mission of honoring the vow he made to his parents. Now as the mysterious vigilante known as Batman, he's begun to understand that this mission is going to more difficult than he realistically anticipated. (Looking for a voice range between Kevin Conroy and Roger Craig Smith, I'm not asking you to do an impression, but if you have a voice in that range and have always wanted a shot to play Batman, then please give me your best shot)
Bruce: (narration) She knows how to walk in heels, I’ll give her that. She seems pretty good at running in them too. She also knows how to scream, I could hear it from nearly three blocks over. It almost had me convinced to jump into action when I realized who she was and what side of town this is...
Batman: You know what I find funny? You punk gangsters think you know what real pain is just because you inflict it upon others, but you don't. Not really. (pause) But I do.
Bruce: Oh, wait a minute! This wouldn’t happen to be about that Bat-man fellow I've been reading about in the press, would it? I had some friends of mine tell me about how you interviewed Harvey Dent a short while ago. (Pause) Meaning...I'm considered a suspect? (Pause followed by laughter) I'm sorry, but you really think there’s a possibility I could be The Batman? (calming down) Oh my...a very lovely fairy tale indeed, Lieutenant, but unfortunately I feel I may leave you bitterly disappointed.
