@cleanlined.bsky.social Did you intentionally base your Bruce Wayne design on british actor Tom Brittney? The resemblance is kinda uncanny!

His voice is perfect for Batman too as shown in this edit; and I think voice is REALLY important for him. It has similar qualities to Kevin Conroy's without sounding like him. Strong, theatrical, smooth baritone. Any comic dialogue I can imagine with Lee.

And some clips of him raging too, just for fun. The visual at the end of this one is so Batman!

Also just for fun I'm putting this clip of him fighting ninjas while naked in Foundation Season 2, which reminded me of this Arkham Unhinged issue where Bruce also fought ninjas naked.

Recently this scene uploaded by @emmatolkin.bsky.social went viral on Twitter and man he can play cold and ruthless like no other. Cleon isn't really like Bruce Wayne but that darkness he shows here? Easily transferable in terms of acting.

Other very short clips that showcase what I am talking about, how intimidating he can be with just his eyes and tiny movements and gestures. (Also good showcase on how good he looks on armor and a cape!) He'd be a Batman that can COMMAND a room, so much presence.

And then he's able to play very small, just sing his eyes, his head, little movements in his face. Because of the cowl and how stoic the character is you need an actor with a lot of control over how they can show emotions in tiny ways like that. Lee can do that too, as shown here.

I think it's important for Batman actors is for them to be able to play things really, really small but also really really big. Batman has /a lot/ of emotions pent up. Sometimes they can simmer and just explode. Lee can explode.

The resentment, the sadness, the anger, the way he still tries to keep some semblance of control even though he's emotionally at his weakest.

I love this scene too. I think it showcases a lot of Lee's best qualities as an actor and why he'd make such a perfect Batman.

Can easily imagine him giving big Bruce Wayne speeches too. Very easy to imagine Lee's voice in a speech like the one in "Cold Days".

So good, can easily imagine him in those Wayne Enterprises business meetings!

One thing I love about Lee is his elegance. He gets cast all the time as high society people and for good reason. Adam West also had that elegance in his Bruce Wayne performance, and I think that part held up really well and would love to see it in a serious take.

Would advice against watching this clip without seeing the film first but I had to put it as it cracks me up he even has his own Robin here.

And as shown by "The Fall", he can let that vulnerability out in ways that are even /more/ raw and blatant. (Would advice for spoilers!)

As a side note that scene reminded me of this moment from @tomking.bsky.social's and @claymann.bsky.social's Batman/Catwoman comic!

And of course he can play heartbroken really well too. Again, his eyes, especially as he listens to her towards the end.

Those moments when he lets his vulnerability out in more mature, realized ways, with gentleness, trying to teach something to someone are great too. Putting context aside I can see this demeanor in a convo between Bruce and his protegés: "You'll live or die by who you really are."

And beneath that darkness there is a profound loneliness, a profound sadness. And when it comes pouring out man does Lee do such a good job at showcasing it. 6'5 man with a deep voice and you can see him going back into his childhood from just his looks, his face.
