Rino Romano the voice of Batman?

[Marvel_Knight]

Now read my post closely. No offense to Rino or anything, but could he really be the voice of the Dark Knight? I mean, he was an awesome voice for Spider-Man, but Batman? If you listen REALLLLLY closley to "The Batman" preview, (I downloaded it) you can hear him saying, "I'm the Batman" and it sounded like...well...Spider-Man. I'm doing this because he was Spider-Man or anything, just he didn't sound like Batman IMO. But maybe he could surprise me throughout the show?

I keep listening to it, too, and he sounds really good for the part. It doesn't really sound like Spider-man to me. Sure, we heard Kevin Conroy do a good young Bruce Wayne voice, but Rino is pretty good, too. We only heard one line, "I'm the Batman," so we can't really judge 'im yet.

I never said he was bad for the part just that I'm not really sure Great job on Spidey though

Oh, okay. Sometimes I mis-interpret things, because I'm weird.

Yeah, I agree. Didn't he play Mamoru Chiba/Darien, on Sailor Moon's first English season?

 

[Sketch]

Yeah... I don't think I'll be able to think of him as any other super hero than Spider-Man and he and Spidey are just too different. Now if it had been Batman Beyond then it may have worked out... since Spidey and BB are kinda the same in how they trash talk and what not.

now is Rino Romano related to Christy Carlson Romano or comedian Ray Romano?

Yeah, I agree. Didn't he play Mamoru Chiba/Darien, on Sailor Moon's first English season?

Yup. According to Rino's page on IMDB.com, he played Darien/Tuxedo Mask for the first 11 episodes of the Sailor Moon dub. He also appeared on Teen Titans, playing Kai ("Sisters").

I'm having a hard time picturing him as Batman, but then again, I've recently been watching Spider-Man: Unlimited, so his voice for Spidey is fresh in my mind. I'm looking forward to seeing The Batman in the fall, and I wait until then to make a decision on whether I feel he makes a good Batman.

Don't know, and unfortunately the IMDB.com page isn't much help.

Rino is the son of WBA Voice Director, Andrea Romano.

They're no relation to Christy or Ray.

Woah, he's her son?! No wonder he got into the animation business!

uh, sorry, but, no, he isn't.

It seems like whenever people in Hollywood have the same last name, people assume they HAVE to be related. It's not like Romano is an obscure family name.

I thought he was terrible as Spider-Man I have to say.

However, this is WBA. When have you ever heard a dodgy voice production in a recent WB cartoon? They excel in voice over production. They seem to be putting a lot of faith in this cartoon, either they think it'll be a big hit...or they hope it sells a lot of toys.

I'm waiting to hear him before I judge. From the tiny scene with Batman in the Batmobile, I'm to see more.

Yup. According to Rino's page on IMDB.com, he played Darien/Tuxedo Mask for the first 11 episodes of the Sailor Moon dub.

Yes he did and I have some of his episodes (I don't have all of them. I have some featuring all of Serena's voice actresses, too, as well as both of Mina's voice actresses and Raye. Yes, she has two voice actresses. Katie wasn't her first) as well as some of Toby Proctor's episodes. I have more of Vincent as Darien than I have of the other two. Mwha!! Guess which is my favourite.

Last I heard Rino was when he was the narrator for some show about American pop culture about commercials. That was a WHILE ago.

Could someone be a dear and one day, provide me with a .wav file of him as Batman? I'm curious. He was Spider-Man, too? I must MUST HEAR THAT!! *ahem*

NO WAY (That monster just doesn't give up!!)!! He was Carlos in "NASCAR Racers"??

I like it when the victims of these rumors try to play along with them. Michael Keaton used to joke about going with his sister Diane out to visit Uncle Buster's grave.

 

[Marvel_Knight]

What? Michael Keaton has absoleutly nothing to do with Batman!

 

[BeastBoyWonder]

In Batman Beyond's "Rebirth", Rino voices the thug that was assaulting Batman the last time he was out on patrol... I think he sounded plenty menacing enough to play the part.

Rino Romano is also the voice of the promos for the all the WB comedies. I've heard that the voice actors have all been told to be dark and subdued and that Rino is loving every minute of it. Also, I heard that the voice of The Penguin came down to a choice between Tom Kenny and...Wayne Knight!
