Few individuals understand the intricacies of the voice of Batman better than Andrea Romano.
Arguably the top animation voiceover director in the business today, Romano has been instrumental in orchestrating the vocal tones behind the character’s non-live appearances for more than two decades. From Kevin Conroy and Rino Romano to Jeremy Sisto and William Baldwin, Romano knows precisely what voice will best fit the tones of a particular story or series.

 Batman: Under the Hood Vol #1 TPB In July 2010, DC Comics and Warner Home Video will be releasing an animated version of the story line in the Batman – Under the Hood TPB. This is the review of the source material.
There is no way for to effectively talk about these two books without discussing whom the Red Hood is. If you’re the type that likes to read a story fresh, without any prior knowledge, this is not the article for you. I do recommend the books but again, this review will blatantly talk about the Red Hood’s identity.

John DiMaggio Undertakes a Villainous Icon as The Joker in “Batman: Under the Red Hood”
Known to adults as “Bender” in Futurama and tweens as “Dr. Drakken” in Kim Possible, John DiMaggio takes an iconic step forward as the voice of The Joker, the pivotal villain in the all-new DC Universe animated original movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood.
In the film, Batman faces his ultimate challenge as the mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. And when The Joker falls in the balance between the two forces of justice, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened.

 Batman and Robin #6 concludes the Revenge of the Red Hood storyline and marks the departure of artist Phillip Tan from the title. I, for one, am glad this chapter of Batman and Robin is over. The majority of this issue is spent on a fight sequence involving the flamboyantly dressed, and undeniably lame villain, the Flamingo. Given Grant Morrison’s track record, I expected a lot more from this villain. Apart from some mildly interesting setup, the Flamingo comes across as completely one-dimensional. It does not help that he does not speak either. I cannot figure out why Morrison decided to use him. His presence feels unnecessary and contrived, and unfortunately, I do not think we have seen the last of him.
