I'm back from Comic-Con... and OH, how amazing it was! Firstly, I'd like to report some amazing surprises involving voice-casting. The Everywhere Man will be voiced by none other than Superman himself, Brandon Routh!!!! Not only that, but Dick Grayson's father will be voiced by, for most people the definitive Batman (brace yourselves) ... KEVIN CONROY!! I have video footage of the upcoming season that I will provide a link to later, but the quality is quite bad (though most of it should be fairly easy to make out). Amoung appearances, in video form, we have; Harley Quinn (who looks amazing), Killer Moth, Black Mask, The Everywhere Man, and Clayface II (Matt Hagen). We're also treated to futuristic (the year 2027 to be exact) looks at Batman (think huge, like in Dark Knight Returns), Barbara (or should i say Oracle? That's right! She's in a wheel-chair), Dick Grayson (Nightwing, anyone?), Mr. Freeze, and the new, tank-like Batmobile (once again, think DKR). After this, we are shown footage of the actual show, which starts off with Dick spending some time with his parents and then goes into a funeral scene where Bruce explains that he is going to take Dick in as a foster son. Some training scenes follow (Bane, Killer Croc, Firefly, and a giant robot are among the fights that Robin is shown taking part in), along with a scene that has Robin capturing who is, I assume, his parents' killer (his actual name is not mentioned). A final dramatic scene of Batman standing with both Robin and Batgirl on a rooftop is topped off with the revealing of this JLA member we've all been wondering about. Are you ready? ...are you sure? Brace yourself. the JLA member that appears in season four of The Batman is... ... MARTIAN MANHUNTER! It will apparently happen in the season finale two-parter. So anyway, that is all for now. I'll have the video footage and some pics of new toys online later tonight. Hooray for Comic Con. hope you all are happy about the news! I know i was!!!!! **EDIT Jeff Matsuda has posted a response on page two of this thread! legionsofgotham.proboards70.com/index.cgi?board=bringonthebatman&action=display&thread=1153700361&page=2

[shadow=green,left,300] If Mark Hammil's going to be on the show I'll faint Is he really Matt? That would be awesome, this is great with all the new characters and such I just hope we can still see some of the past ones as well. ;D I am happy that Riddler is going to be in the Season with all the new stuff happening. Martian Manhunter is a BIG surprise I would have never thought of it. Man I wish it was September. [/shadow]

I already found out about Routh before this. As for the Kevin Conroy part, its close to what I wanted him to be if he appeared in the show. I wanted him to play Thomas Wayne, it would've been like passign the torch. Don't get me wrong, I still like him playing Robin's dad. Here's hoping for Bale to play Thomas Wayne. As long as we see it, we won't care. Oh god "breathes heavily" thank you, thank you. After I watched TBvD, I knew they wanted their show to be darker than what it is (or was, as of now). .....did they what I wanted and wishing for in this season??? HIM?! Hmm, he's not Black Canary, nor The Question. But his human form helps Batman with cases. Man, the TB-haters will now love this show like they do with BTAS/TNBA. Thank you Matsuda. BTW, a message to Matsuda, I have an idea if you want to do a Superman show. It'll help you guys. ...unless.... Matt: is what I'm thinking now gonna be in the season finale? You can PM me.

My mind is totally blown away. Oracle, Battank, Bane's return, Routh as Everywhere Man, Martian, Conroy's back, IT'S ALL TOO MUCH FOR ONE TO HANDLE! This will be the greatest season EVER!!!!

OH, and one other thing i forgot to mention... supposedly, at some point, the Mad Hatter will have somewhat of a cameo appearance. I heard nothing of Mark Hammill's involvement... any chance you could give a hint as to who he might be portraying? and even if you cannot release the info publicly, Matt, is there any chance you could slip me the news as a bit of an insider's secret? eh? eh!? haha, j/k. anyway, i'm gonna try to get the video on as soon as possible... in fact, i'm gonna start workin' on it right after i post this message keep in mind, it will be hard to make out some of it due to the low quality of the video, but if you follow the description i gave, you might find it easier to figure some of it out even with the overly dark portions of the capture.

Haha, no problem.. they brought it up, but it was nothing more than a simple mention of the fact that they are creating an "origin episode" for him.

PM me Russ...I'll tell you about Hammil.
I probably shouldn't say anything without asking Jeff first...in fact, I probably shouldn't even have said his name! whoops.
I just figured the news about him was told when they talked about Kevin Conroy's involvement.
See...SEE...do you know now why I was so excited in my earlier posts guys!

Harley looked great, IMO. And i think most everyone else will like her new design. it feels very classic, but with some updates to make it fresh. It definitely got quite a cheer out of the audience!

I'm just getting back from the con and Ruseri already beat me to it! His breakdown of the trailer was perfect. I'm glad you enjoyed it Ruseri. I look forward to hearing all of your reactions after the trailer is posted. I told all of this to Matt awhile ago and I'm impressed he was able to keep it in! I'm really excited about this season alot more than the previous ones and you can all see why, we are seriously trying to kick much booty this season. There are still some crazy episodes that we haven't even mentioned yet, including Riddler and another one, which is one of my favorites of the season, but you guys are going to have to wait for it to air, don't want to ruin any surprises!

Hey Jeff, blinker here (you can tell), if it weren't from the trailer and what we just learned from the Con thx to Ruseri, I would've said the wait would eb similar to Season 3 and now that season, by many, see that season ranked lower than the first two.
List of questions:
- Will we see Thomas and/or Martha Wayne speak?
- If I ask yoo that "whats on my mind" via PM, would you be honest on the answer?
- I have a pitch of mind, that I don't want to say publicly, on a Superman series. Woudl you like to hear it?
