326. David Giuntoli on Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

David Guintoli joins the show for the second time after his second animated film role as Batman/Bruce Wayne was recently released. Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham was released on Digital, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray on March 28th, 2023. Giuntoli previously played Batman in the 2021 release Batman: Soul of the Dragon.

Inspired by the comic book series by Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, and Troy Nixey, Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham is a 1920s-based tale that finds explorer Bruce Wayne accidentally unleashing an ancient evil, expediting his return to Gotham City after a two-decade hiatus. The logic/science-driven Batman must battle Lovecraftian supernatural forces threatening the sheer existence of Gotham, along the way being aided and confronted by reimagined versions of his well-known allies and enemies, including Green Arrow, Ra’s al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Two-Face, James Gordon, and Bruce’s beloved wards.

In this episode, Guintoli talks about getting the role to play Batman a second time, and the feedback he received after Soul of the Dragon was released. He talks about the mystical nature of this movie, and the ties to the work of H.P. Lovecraft.
