How Do Certain Comic Book Characters Sound In Your Heads?

**The Cheap-Arse Film Critic** · 10-13-2005, 05:46 PM

I got to thinking about this in another thread, when Travis said Emma Frost sounded like Madonna in his head, whereas she sounds like a young Margaret Thatcher in mine. I thought it would be cool to compare notes and see how we read different characters voices differently.

Here are a few examples...

SPIDER-MAN: High pitched, slightly whiney twang to it.

SUPERMAN: Deep but warm.

BATMAN: As though it were funnled from the depths of Hell.

GREEN ARROW: Basically speaking through his nose.

DAREDEVIL: Soft spoken yet authoritive.

Thanks to a shitty cartoon I saw when I was a kid, Wolverine always has an Australian accent.

I always here the 90's cartoon voice for pretty much all the x-men characters that were on that show. Which is pretty much why I can't take Storm seriously anymore.
