He got cut off from the part of himself that had a good heart. He became very rich by killing and robbing people to do that. He feels like he doesn`t really have anything and he goes back home to connect.
When you`re doing a voice for an animated project, you don`t have the props and the different visual things that make it a bit easier for an actor to make a scene real for you. So you`re stuck in a booth alone and you`re kind of forced to use your imagination a little bit more.
[Discussing the character of Batman]: Batman is a bit of a loner. He`s very intuitive and, while the rest of the Justice League are using their super powers, he uses his detective skills to get to the heart of the matter and, in this case, help save the world. Throughout the course of the story, though, I think he learns that it`s not such a bad thing to have friends.
[On the Batman character]: I think Batman is a great character in that he has a lot of internalization, and his heroics come from a dark place. You can have fun with that side of him, sort of showing his dislike for people and yet, at the same time, he`s all about helping people and doing good for society.
I tend to (get cast) as dark characters, and I`m more drawn to those characters anyway - they`re usually more interesting. Plus, I got this deep voice from my father, and the combination of the timbre of my voice and my inflections tends to make people feel that there`s some darkness there.
