In 1997, two years later Batman: the animated series was canceled from Fox Kids !, DC fans young and old were able to return to this continuity thanks to Kids WB’s The new adventures of Batman. In addition to featuring a radically new animation style, this sequel also brought in a handful of new voice actors, including Tara Strong, who played the role of Barbara Gordon aka Melissa Gilbert’s Batgirl. This gave him the opportunity to work alongside Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, aka Batman and Joker of the DC Animated Universe, respectively, and Strong reflected on that period in her career while talking to Gossipify.
These days, Tara Strong is voicing a comedic version of Batgirl on the DC TV show. DC superhero girlsbut while chatting with me about the related movie that was recently released The Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse (as well as sharing your thoughts on others bad girl film), the actress expressed interest in someday shooting a more serious version of the superheroine. She then talked about what it was like to work The new adventures of Batmansaid:
Booking this part was also really exciting as I was a Batgirl fan growing up. The idea of ​​giving her a voice actually, the audition room was full of great talent, and I was like, ‘I don’t know. When my agent called, he was like, ‘You’re the girl, you’re the girl! You’re Batgirl! ” I said, “Oh my God!” Even that moment of opening and then filming the show was like filming a show in front of the camera. We would do a table reading with Andrea Romano in the lead. And truly prolific and incredible actors; like, sitting next to Mark Hamill as the Joker and Kevin Conroy as Batman, those people are those characters. If you imagined you were there, you would pinch yourself. It was, it really was. And we had tremendous talent there and some really great acting moments that of course I’d love to go back to. It was fun to see him back in The Killing Joke, but I think it would be really fun to do a whole new show and bring Mark and Kevin back. It would be great to do it again.
following The new adventures of Batman concluding in 1999, Tara Strong took over the DCAU version of Barbara Gordon in gothic girls Web series. Then, as the actress pointed out, she played a different version of Barbara in the 2016 animated film. Batman: The killing joke, who faithfully adapted the eponymous story by Alan Moore and Bolland in which Barbara was shot and paralyzed by the Joker. Although Strong made it clear to me that he had a lot of fun playing DC superhero girls‘version of Batgirl, is also willing to revisit some serious territory with the character, especially if that meant reuniting with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.
Like Tara Strong, these two have been able to maintain their respective careers as Batman and Joker in various DC projects over the years, including the actress’s union in Batman: The killing joke. As for the DCAU, although the continuity has been revised in animated films. Batman and Harley Quinn Yes Justice League vs. The Fatal Five (along with several comedy tie-ins and an upcoming podcast featuring Conroy and John Glover), his television series wrapped up in 2006 with the conclusion of Unlimited Justice League. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any plans to launch another DCAU series, despite what Strong wants. Yet, just like her, Conroy and Hamill played the killer joke, there may be another possibility in the future for these three to reunite for a DC project set in a different continuity. Personally, even if they don’t collect Batgirl, Batman and Joker, I would love to see Strong, Conroy and Hamill in the upcoming HBO Max series. Batman: Hooded Crusader somehow.
For those of you who want to take a walk in memory The new adventures of Batman, can be streamed with an HBO Max membership along with all other DCAU related shows and movies. HBO Max will also be the home of streaming for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment this is The Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse from June 28th, although it is already available for purchase on Blu-ray, DVD and digital.
