An Elseworlds tale, Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham presents an alt-universe horror tale set in the 20’s, and with an altered Bat-family.
Tawde?
We’ve already seen some heavy alterations to the Bat-mythos, thanks to the Elseworlds story that is The Doom That Came to Gotham. But there are some pretty interesting changes in store for Batman’s surrogate family as well.
The horror-tinged tale takes place in an alternate version of 1920’s Gotham City, infused with some hefty Lovecraftian overtones. And with that, comes the likes of Sanjay “Jay” Tawde and Kai Li Cain. Or, as you probably best know them, Jason Todd and Cassandra Cain.
But it’s not just those two Batman allies that get a makeover, as both Oliver Queen and Oracle will too. And in the case of Barbara Gordon’s alter ego, it seems it’s a bit more supernatural than she’s ever been.
In preparing to take on supernatural forces, Batman turns to his own mystical ally – Oracle – to help prepare for battle in a key scene from Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham. David Giuntoli (Grimm, A Million Little Things) and Gideon Adlon (Pacific Rim: The Black) give voice to Batman and an Elseworlds-altered Oracle, respectively. Bruce Wayne and his wards make their final stop on a 20-year journey – at Professor Cobblepot’s frozen encampment – in one of the opening scenes of Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham. David Giuntoli (Grimm, A Million Little Things) portrays Bruce Wayne, while Jason Marsden (Young Justice, A Goofy Movie) plays Dick Grayson and Karan Brar (Jessie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise) gives voice to the Elseworlds version of Jason Todd, Sanjay “Jay” Tawde. Bruce Wayne, Kai Li Cain and James Gordon stand graveside pondering their next move during one of the more somber moments of Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham. David Giuntoli (Grimm, A Million Little Things) reprises his Batman: Soul of the Dragon role as the voice of Bruce Wayne & the Dark Knight, while Tati Gabrielle (Kaleidoscope, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Uncharted) voices Kai Li Cain – an Elseworlds interpretation of Cassandra Cain – and longtime DC Animated Movies veteran John DiMaggio (Futurama, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire) plays James Gordon. The great Gotham City triumvirate of Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen and Harvey Dent come together at a dinner hosted by the famed archer as the action begins to heat up in Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham. Wayne, Queen and Dent are voiced by DC Animated Movies standards David Giuntoli (Grimm, A Million Little Things), Christopher Gorham (The Lincoln Lawyer, Insatiable) and Patrick Fabian (Better Call Saul), respectively.
