The Batman
The new Kids WB series The Batman is going to (a) suck and (b) be completely worthless. How can I say this about a show I have never seen, you ask? Three simple words: no Kevin Conroy. If you are animating Batman, there is only one man to voice the Dark Knight and his secret identity Bruce Wayne, and that is Mr. Conroy, voice of Batman in Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's unparalleled Batman: The Animated Series and its various successors, up to and including the current Justice League Unlimited.

The voice of Batman in The Batman is some twerp named Rino Romano; the best he can hope for is to be Val Kilmer to Conroy's Michael Keaton, a pale and uninspired imitation.
