I mean Conroy is still untouchable but someone else is going to cover that so I had to pick one of the others.

I hate the current voice actor though. Jason something I think?

@Lord Wraith

I had a sneaking suspicion that not mentioning Conroy would bring an influx of TAS gifs whenever MB came back around. Had to cover my bases.

Jason O'Mara. He's not terrible, I guess. It's gritty enough that I don't despise everything about his voice, but it feeeelss...lifeless? Dull? He plays Batman straighter than you write a sex scene. Read: not nearly gay enough.

Well considering my favorite character already has the perfect voice, I don't really need to speak my piece.

@Simple Unicycle

God. What a good show. I don't think I'd be nearly as into superheroes without Justice League. The Question's arc was one of my favorites in Unlimited, too; he's so fuckin' funny.

I really enjoy Ben McKenzie's go at voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne. On that note for fun, I'd love Adam Brody to voice a Nightwing alongside McKenzie's Batman.

@Lord Wraith

Oh yeah, he did a great job in Year One.

Similarly, I really enjoyed Peter Weller's older, more grizzled Batman.

Kevin Conroy's amazing, but damn if there isn't a lot of great competition in the Batman department.

As we have some incredibly healthy discussion going, I'm going to regret this when I wake up.... but since the question was tabled. Who would you choose to voice your favourite characters?

@Sep

George Newbern is the voice of Superman. Definitively. Without question. It's him.

@Superboy I dunno I just didn't find him that menacing.

@Sep

That's fair. I personally really enjoyed that sort of quiet, barely contained anger he gave the role. Seeing him just explode gave me goosebumps the first two times I watched through the series. I love him. Probably my favorite Marvel villain, if I'm totally honest; Thanos is a close second, though.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of how Snyder directs Affleck's Batman- in action scenes. Outside of the whole murdering people in the Batmobile fiasco, I love the physicality and power behind New Batman's fighting prowess. He's fast, strong and fucking terrifying. I vastly prefer it to the much slower and more methodical style of Bale's Batman, though obviously there's the caviat that they were going for two polar opposite portrayals.

On a similar note, I'm confident that Henry Cavill will make one of the best Supermen yet if somebody hands him a decent script. He's a great actor that's trapped in terrible movies, imo, and somebody just needs to come along and let him loose.

I agree with both Triple J and Aunt May but I think I enjoyed Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben more.

Likewise, I enjoy Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin more than I do Vincent D'Onofrio.

I Wanna Hear Your Opinions On The Different Wrting Levels/Forums.

<Snipped quote by Superboy>

Hang on do you even know what I'm referring to? This thread is about opinions on sub forums, in response to the earlier post made I'm saying its very ignorant and straight up discrimination to refuse to RP someone purely based on the fact they frequent a certain sub-forum. I would hope that you would either judge them as what they write as an individual poster, not the places they post.

Let me know which part of my statement is controversial.

@Dynamo Frokane

I believe I do know what you're referring to, yes. You frequent the Arena sub-forum and certain users hold less than savory views on that sub-forum.

As dumb as it may be to judge someone based on what they enjoy, discrimination is a loaded as hell word, dude. I think it's a little ridiculous to compare having your hobby judged negatively to being discriminated against, like you're a second class citizen that's having their rights squashed by the majority group.

Yeah, no, I think you're entirely correct in that you shouldn't have to deal with preconceived notions like that. But if someone's so immature that they can't see passed the fact that you played in a certain type of game, then just...ignore them. They were never worth your time to begin with.

Edit:

<Snipped quote by Superboy>

i mean sure there's like a limit, but just because you have the time doesn't mean you should force yourself to do it. sometimes you're just not in the mood, you know? i think so long as your get your post in within the week, that should be fine.

if you force it, it can very well be bad writing because it's forced, or phoned in. once someone has taken 2+ weeks to post? then i would complain about it. but i think giving your fellow writers the time to write a quality response is important.

@Universorum

I'm with you on that, for the most part. Though sometimes I'd rather get a phoned in post on time than wait an extra four or five days for someone to find their mood. It's especially heinous in a group setting, where everyone has to specifically wait for that one person to post. That kind of thing contributes fairly heavily to RPs that lose steam and results in people losing interest and dropping.

I don't think putting up a post should ever be prioritized before taking care of work/yourself, but there are times when it's best to just buckle down and get on with it for the good of the whole group, y'know?

<Snipped quote by tex>

why? why can't someone just opt to post later? sometimes people get busy or don't feel like writing. it ain't a job, it's a hobby.

@Universorum

While you're completely correct in that regard, Tex has a point. While you can always choose to do it later, the longer you hold off, the more you're dragging everyone else down and slowing the RP to a crawl by refusing to post. If the 'later' goes from just being a few days later to a week or two, it starts to become a problem.

If someone finds themselves so disinterested in an RP that they'll keep from posting despite having the time for several weeks, they should just bite the bullet and drop out instead of wasting the other players' time. It's all a matter of relativity, of course; 'too long' is a totally subjective time frame.
