I ran into Batman today!
02/13/09 at 2:23am

At an audition today, I ran into Diedrich Bader, voice of Batman in The Brave and the Bold. The full story will be on Wally's Week next week, but he said he's loving being Batman because he's the father of a young child who thinks it's neat his daddy is Batman! Diedrich is the coolest of the cool...a fine actor to be portraying Batman!

On a side note, at today's recording of "Avengers," not only did I get to play Ant Man and Giant Man, but they had me do Modok as well! It was an awesome day. Particularly since this was the first time Ant Man got to utter the immortal words "Avengers Assemble!" I got goosebumps!

That is awesome. Diedrich seems like a really cool guy, loved his work on The Drew Carey Show. And I am totally digging his work on The Brave and The Bold.

Wally you mentioned The Avengers is this a new animated marvel project? Sorry if I am late on this one if its posted out there somewhere, but what are the details on this project?

Thank You

I expected you to say you ran into Adam...or Scott! Cheesy

I am IMPRESSED with "The Brave and the Bold" series...and ESPECIALLY with Diedrich's work! He's VERY good!...

...although, the way it's written, Adam could have EASILY done this role...AGAIN!

(Of course, there would be a certain segment of the audience out there that would not even consider watching the show then because they think Adam's Batman is "the worst version ever!"... Angry

...

...and then again, there would be a certain segment who would watch the show JUST to hear Adam do the voice of Batman again! We all know who "THEY" are! Cheesy

)

I hope Andrea Romano hires Adam for a cameo voice somewhere during the run of the show!

Congrats on doing the voices for Ant Man, Giant Man, and Modok! YOU DA ~~MAN~~ MEN!!! Wink

Reply #8 - 02/13/09 at 6:02pm Well, I have always liked Plastic Man, but that role's taken. I'm not sure. Maybe some villain that's coming up soon. That's a good question.

Reply #12 - 02/13/09 at 10:15pm I'm sorry Wally, every time I hear the words Ant Man, I think of the old SNL skit, with Garret Morris. Just thinking about it still gives me a chuckle, thanks I needed one

Very Cool, thanks Wally. 26 episodes that is awesome, and they are right it is definitely time they do an Avengers series with THE BIG GUNS
