00:00You are taking on a pretty iconic role and obviously Kevin Connery is so beloved in the
00:05fandom. Did you take inspiration from his performance in looking to how you would bring
00:11Batman to life? Well I said this before but his voice was really the voice of my god growing up
00:18so it's it was in there but when I made my feverish audition tapes in the back of a Subaru
00:26in Minneapolis I didn't like go back and study it I was like too scared to to to refresh my memory
00:37but then when I finally heard sort of the results of it it was quite I hope close to him I hope
00:45it doesn't give the viewer a bump I mean I think there's wonderful reimaginings of so many
00:51characters in this series but but I hope that that the that I don't know I'm just desperate
01:00to honor the amazing legacy that Kevin left behind and so you do sound like Batman oh good
01:09well that's good yeah
