    Jason O'Mara is a pretty decent Batman from what I can tell. But did anyone else notice a serious issue with long pauses during the movie clip? Where Batman or Damian would say something, there would be a pause that is just a bit too long, and then whoever was speaking would finish their thought? I hope that I'm just imagining it or that it only happens in this scene, because if there is constant pauses in dialogue throughout the film I don't know if I can sit through it.

    On a more positive note, the animation looks pretty great. And Bruce and Alfred both have pretty good voices. Not sure about Damian yet, but I guess I have to hear more from him before I can say how I feel about it. Looking forward to May.

    I dont like Damian(as a character,but anyway,we're talking voices here... :P ) ...his voice is too generic,and the kid who voices himapparently doesn't take it seriously.

    O'Mara is indeed good,and delivers.
    The pauses are a thing,yeah.

    @punyparker: Can't say I agree about the character, 'cuz Damian's one of my favorites. But the voice does seem a tad generic from the clips we've seen. I was expecting a more...distinct voice. But again, I'm willing to give the kid his fair chance.

    Glad I'm not the only one know noticed the pausing. Hopefully editing will clean it up before the movie hits shelves.

    Looks pretty cool (animation is really good from what I've seen so far), can't wait for the movie!

    I too think Jason O'Mara as Batman was a fantastic choice, lol at that part where he was interviewing and saying the grocery list in the Batman voice, it just cracked me up

    As for the pauses, I think it might be just that scene. It was right after Bruce met Damian for the first time so I think it might have been more than a little awkward between the two

    I think pauses works, Bruce is meeting his newly announced son, you think it would be hard getting through one conversation.

    No he doesn't,he might have an accent but which one is anyone's guess,it has also been mentioned that he can mimic voices and he is multilingual,what Damian needs is an aristocratic attitude,the tendency to act like an adult despite only being a kid,those are Damian's core characteristics. People just like to generalize and make things up,then they complain when the story doesn't go the way of their own fan fics.

    First before I go further lets clear up a myth, everyone has an accent. But why in the world should Damian not have a foreign/non-american accent (I honestly don't care which one). By not providing him one it denies the complexities and depth of this characters multi-ethnic heritage. He did NOT grow up in the US, and there isn't a place in the world outside of the United States that shares our accent. And sure he can mimic accents, and by all means that would be a cool thing for him to do as Robin to separate him from his alter ego. But why hide his natural accent to his father and everyone else. To assume he should have an american accent is an ethnocentric view that hero's should have white American accents. And if the counter argument is that he could have been raised to speak in an American accent, then its problematic that most other international heroes that isn't white (german and russian being the main exceptions), is depicted with their foreign accents.

    Just pointing out that Damians character would be far deeper if he was actually depicted as he was raised. Otherwise why does every depiction of Talia and Ra's always have an accent. Are evil characters foreigners?

    The world isn't divided between Americans and non Americans,you cant just give Damian any accent and say "ok look it's foreign"

    @batshrine: I think since he is trained to be perfect at almost everything, he won't have an accent, like if he's speaking in German, he'll talk like he's a German.

    @entropy_aegis: Reason why I didn't specify what foreign accent is because Ra's and Talia's own ethnicity and background is still very vague. And the world is a vast place, so why in the world would he have an American accent...let's be inclusive of other parts of the world too.

    And sure that makes sense, so when he is taught English...why is it that he is taught to speak like an American and not like an Australian, Indian, British, South African, or any accent of English...Unless you are saying an American accent is the perfect accent...

    The most popular English accents are British and American, maybe he was taught to speak in both accents, or maybe he was taught to speak in American accent because his father is Batman and Batman is American. Anyways you are just nitpicking.

    Most popular accent I would say is actually an Indian accent since there are more of them that speak english than Americans or Brits ;). And ya I would say I am nitpicking, and he may have been taught to speak in an American accent. I just personally would have enjoyed him having a separate one to make the Batfamily seem more inclusive and that its members don't have to be white american people. Just a wish. I am sure the move will still be amazing

    Well, he seems to have a darker skin tone than the others so that counts I guess.

    Good point, but I'd like to know why you volunteered to take over the BatWatch blog and then disappeared. It's certainly your right to back out if you felt you could not handle it or didn't want to commit to the project, but I find it disappointing that you made a promise and then wasted my time as I set up an account for you and shared my methods. A note explaining yourself would be the least you could do.
