   Voice acting by Jason O'Mara is not bad. I think he's decent. He's not one of the best Batman voice actors but at least he's improved a lot since "War".

   Nitpick Time: I'm not liking Killer Croc's tail. It makes him look like a rip-off of the Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. Despite whatever explanation the movie gives for him having one (apparently it's an "upgrade") I'm not for it.

   EDIT: I rewatched the clip a second time, Batman acts pretty stupid here, seriously. His plan to take down Killer Croc was to throw away the element of surprise by giving exposition and then throwing two ineffective Batarangs at Croc (which Batman should've known would be ineffective) and then kicking Croc onto the ground and punching him in the face as much as possible? That in now way is Batman. I hope there's a good explanation as to why Batman acts like he has no training here because if they don't, I'm going to face palm.

      yeah its improved but he sounds like an….old man! i hope they arent trying to make him the new voice of batman. i actually really liked Roger Craig Smith but no one beats Conroy.

      I think the "upgrade" is part of his change from half man-half beast into more of a beast. However, I agree with you on the point of it being a rip-off. I like his voice though!

      What do you mean ripoff? There's dozens of versions of Croc in which he has a tail. It's nothing new, actually. It's rather common, and it most certainly didn't happen recently. The Animated Series was one of the few I know of Croc without a tail, and honestly, I am most distasteful about that particular version of him. I do understand that they had to take him down a notch for the kids, but I always favored the more bestial Killer Croc, a nine to eleven feet tall man eater, an utter tank, armed to the bone with limb crushing jaws and flesh ripping razors for nails. Now that's a monster worthy of fear.

         Dozens of versions of Croc have tails? I must really not know much about Killer Croc then if that's true, especially if there's only few versions that don't have a tail like you said. The only Killer Croc I know that has a tail (aside from "Son of Batman") is the one from "The Batman" TV Series. May I ask which "dozens of versions of Croc" have tails?

   First Deathstroke, now Killer Croc. What story is this based on again??

      As much as I like the original arc I've got no problems with them putting their own spin on things, it no doubt needs a few tweaks and changes to translate to a movie, and I mean what film based on a book/comic has stuck 100% true to the original?

         I think there's a pretty big difference between staying 100% true and making up a completely different story.

         What is the point of adapting famous stories if you're not going to stick to the story? If you want to do your own thing then just do your own thing and then there's nothing to complain about.

            We don't know enough about this movies plot to say just how far they're straying from the original Batman and Son though, this clip might not be in the original but it could still just be a side encounter with KC that has no actual bearing on the main story at all. Hell, it could happen months before in a prologue scenario. I can see why people can get upset that they're altering what is regarded as a pretty famous Batman arc but the transition onscreen is never smooth, there's going to be scenes missing, scenes added as well as some slight twists on the plot, I doubt anyone expected them to follow the comic word-to-word. You might as well take a positive look at it, at least their will be some surprises.

   I wonder if this PG-13 animated movie, will show the "actual creation process" of Damian.

   I was initially turned off by O'Mara voicing Batman again. However, after seeing more clips and watching the trailer his voice has vastly improved and I like it. It is a nice balance of Bale growl and calm sternness of Conroy.
