Tomocast 29: Batman records this Thursday and we need your questions! photo


Who's afraid of the big bad bat? Not us, that's for sure! We, in fact, love Batman so much that we're going to make him the topic of our next Tomocast. We'll be talking about his various TV, movie and animated adaptations as well as the multitude of toys that have his logo across their chest. As per usual, we need your questions, so please drop them into the comments and we'll read them on air!

What is your favorite version of the Batman costume?
Who's YOUR definitive Batman 'voice', and why?

e.g. there's Christian Bale's throat-cancer Bat-voice, Adam West's ultra camp-voice and then there's the iconic Kevin Conroy (personal fave) from the Batman Animated Series and there's the one from 'The Batman' cartoon as well as from 'The Brave and the Bold'... :)
Why is it that Batman Beyond gets no love in the figure department despite being the best batman series ever?

Seriously, what the hell.
Best Batman partner/ team-up? Any of the Robins, Terry from Batman Beyond, villan, or superhero.
Hmmm, questions, eh? Well, for starters, when can we expect this Tomocast to actually be released? =p

Otherwise, do you prefer that Batman have a side-kick (other than Alfred) or that he go without? And how do you feel about Batman and teams? And why do people keep trying to pair Wonder Woman with Superman when she so obviously belongs with Batman?

And, I shouldn't even need to ask this but, if you guys don't answer this in the opening preamble, who's your fave Batman rogue? (A hero is only as cool as the villains he fights!) And how do you feel about the more recent Batman rogues like Hush, Simon Hurt, and Professor Pyg? Do these villains have enough charm to be additions to Batman's lovable rogues' gallery or are they gaudy/tasteless?

===="Why is it that Batman Beyond gets no love in the figure department despite being the best batman series ever? "

He's had DCUC figure + unnecessary unmasked variant, at least two releases in JLU (same mold, I think), and some DC Directs >_> I think that's plenty o' love. His rogues, on the other hand, aren't so lucky. Can't recall one Beyond rogue (barring Mr. Freeze who was cross-continuity and arguably Joker if we count the the movie) that's received a figure. Plus he's DEFINITELY had much more love than Static.

At any rate, everything in the future is just so much cooler. Loved Marvel's 2099 imprints.
Dark Knight Returns- Love it or Hate it?
Who is your favorite Batman villain and why?
Which of the insane Kenner Batman suit variations was your favorite? I think he was looking kinda pimp in that Artic camo getup, but as a kid I always wanted Tec Shield Bats because somehow it made sense that wearing a gold batsuit would protect him from heat and chemicals...
Here's another!
What's your favourite RETAIL (non-high end awesome HOT TOYS) line of Batman toys?
Yarg! Finished last Tomocast and you guys really jumped through the reader questions =x That's no fun!

Question attack time! Try dodging all these, if you can!
Wanna know how I got these scars?
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
What kind of man has bats on the brain?
Why so serious?
How was I to know they'd have a can of shark- repellent Bat-spray handy?
What is it that no man wants to have but no man wants to lose?

And who can forget the classic: Bruce Wayne, why are you dressed up like Batman?

Do you enjoy Nolan's Batman films or Schumacher's?

There's a Batman comic series ongoing right now called Batman Incorporated. What would your Bat related superhero alias be?
Did any of you have or played with the many Batman toys from the 90s and if so, what were your favorite ones?

Do you like the 90s Batman logo or the new one?

And Finally, an off topic question. Will you be doing the Toy Story podcast again?
