Batman: Gotham By Gaslight - 10 Ways It Could Save DC's Animated Films
7. Bruce Greenwood Back As Batman
Warner Bros.
The last time we saw Bruce Greenwood under the cowl, it was in the prematurely cancelled (though thankfully revived) Young Justice. He had, of course, made a trailblazing appearance as the character in Under the Red Hood, but we've not heard from his Batman since, in part because WB are keen on experimenting with different voice actors for different kinds of Batmen.
He's back again, however, and so you can see why we're feeling optimistic. Greenwood is yet to lend his voice to a bad DC project (granted he's only done two, but still), and he certainly makes for a great Dark Knight. Better yet, we're going to get the chance to hear his rendition of Bruce Wayne this time too, departing from his previous appearances where the duality of the character was somewhat shirked.
It must be fun for Greenwood, especially in this kind of setting. And while we are, of course, hoping that more actors get a stab at the Dark Knight at some point in the future, it's nice to have the Star Trek actor back in the role.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
