Batman: “All men have limits, they learn what they are and try not to exceed them, I ignore mine.”
Bruce Wayne: "Barry, those scars we have make us who we are. We're not meant to go back and fix them. And there's nothing broken with you that needs to be fixed. Take it from an old guy who's made plenty of mistakes."
Batman: "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"
VA with a raspy, almost chain smoking, middled age new jersey accent, that can pull off a talking pattern similar to Tony Soprano from The Sopranos.

"I will not in good conscience allow you to go. You're out-matched and out-numbered."
"You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger. You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end."
"Endure, Master Wayne. Endure. They’ll hate you for it, but that’s the point of Batman, he can be the outcast."

"I don't ask questions alright, I dont wanna be on boss' bad side."
"Yo 6ix, you down there? Threw the bag of money and I ain't heard counting!"
The right hand man to Black Mask that is extremely quiet, however when he does speak, it's usually not savoury. A calm but gravelly voice.

"Hmph, i'll enjoy this."
"The soothing sound of their screams is the best part..."
Background Characters These three characters appear within the same scene.
Crowe can be described as a very perceptive officer.
Forrester is by the book respectful, but only speaks when he thinks is necessary. This character's lines aren't open to improv.

CROWE "“I noticed something particularly interesting about the footage. He doesn’t seem motivated by money.”"
FORRESTER "We should investigate the wealthy families whose profile matches our suspects. "
Supporting Character
Bullock is the corrupt and cocky officer going under the radar with his sometimes insulting quips. While his lines are fully fleshed out, if chosen as the VA for these three characters, Bullock's lines would be the most adjustable.

"C’mon Jim, don't be such a hard ass. My guys'll take care of 'em. Won't even let 'em know its our work."
"Who else would jump off a building to save your sorry ass?"
"Son of a bitch. You caught'im. How'd you do it?"
Background Characters These characters all show up in the same scene along with the other set of GCPD officers.
Sanchez An officer who prefers to crack a joke than a case. A similar character to Michael Peña's in "End of Watch"
Takahata Skeptical of most, if not all, information he receives, but is generally professional.
Brenden A corrupt officer who is head of the SWAT team in GCPD. A reserved and extremely observant character who enjoys the crime in his area. After all, it IS filling his pockets.
- male adult
- all american accents
- animation/character
SANCHEZ “Based on the CCTV footage, he’s got a fragile ego…”
TAKAHATA "So let me get this straight... You think there’s a group of guys dressing up to go rob banks... for show?”"
BRENDEN "I'll handle it. [I'll] Round up SWAT and get you your report."
Bit Part Character This character is a painfully unaware journalist who is more known as a sensationalist for his trash articles and hyper-dramatic stories. Very much in love with Vicki Vale, but is socially awkward when interacting with women.

"Gosh, you're so- uh, um- so huge. IN THE JOURNALISM WORLD, I mean. Not huge like... Like, uh, size."
"I couldn't help notice you were sitting here all alone- oh, oh! Your date JUST arrived? As I was making my way to you?"
*your original line here*
Supporting Character A VA who can convey the indomitable spirit of a hostage who, while scared of the gun pointed at him, firmly believes that Batman will avenge him. A civilian whose actions prevent the villain from focusing on anyone else.
For inspiration, think Gi-hun in Squid Game and Walter White after realizing he has cancer.
- confident

“You don’t scare me; None of you do”
"Thugs, all of you, destroying our city; But it's okay, because now we have someone on our side,"”
"Me! I said it! Don't hurt her!"
Bit Part/ Featured Extras Looking for a VA who can switch between an annoying and insistent paparazzo to your morning news journalist with that anchor-esque voice.
This part would be overall about 8 lines, spread across 5 different characters
- male adult
- paparazzi
- female adult
- news anchor
- Journalist

"Is this an official statement on the rumoured relationship between you two? How serious is it?"
"Mr. Wayne, who are you wearing tonight?"
"What would you like to say to the people of Gotham who think your presence at these events encourage their unnecessarily extravagant nature?"
Looking for an original Batman theme that is reminiscent of "Arkham city" with the choir style and background vocals of "Mask of The Phantasm" theme. Additionally, if you can include the ending of "Batman: The Animated Series" with the piece, that'd be a 10/10.
