Batman is known to work alone, but the Caped Crusader will be putting his aversion to teamwork aside when he recruits the Justice League for the first time on film next year. Actor Kevin Conroy, who has voiced the character over 250 times, had a little bit of advice when it came to playing Batman as part of a team, drawing from his own experience in the Justice League animated series. "In Justice League, there are often episodes where I’ll have four or five lines, where in Batman: The Animated Series I was used to having the entire script to create a portrait of the character," he said in an interview with IGN. "When you only have a few lines it’s much more difficult."

Conroy continued on to say that it's important to have confidence in the delivery and performance as opposed to over-acting to compensate for the diminished amount of dialog. "The temptation is to over-act because you feel such an obligation to completely flesh out the character in just the two or three lines you have," he said, "and you have to resist that temptation and trust the fact that you know the character so well. That if you just inhabit him, and speak truthfully, it will resonate with the audience. But it is harder to do because the temptation is push it when you’re sharing the stage with lots of other actors."

Good advice, I guess. But I thought Ben was convincing as Batman.

@kylo0607 - Man, I still love that warehouse scene. Despite the grudge I hold with that amount of Bat-murder....that scene was just too cool.

@MattBellissimo - The warehouse scene is simply awesome. As for the killing, I think people are getting way too crazy about it. Batman has killed in the previous films as well.

@kylo0607 - Batman has killed in the previous films as well.

And I've shaken my head at every single one of them. Especially Batman Begins.

@MattBellissimo - What murder?

@SidDaAstroSloth - Batman blows up Ace Chemicals with a bunch of the Joker's men in it. He shoots rockets and machine gun at the Joker with hundreds of people around him in the 89 film. He throws a clown down a hole with TNT strapped to his chest. The list goes on and on. I think Mr.Sundaymovies even did a video on it.
