4Claudio Serrano is a veteran Spaniard voice actor, and one of the most recognizable voices in the Spanish voice acting industry. He's been a prominent actor since the 80s and 90s, and is the regular voice actor for multiple Hollywood stars. But if there is one single role he's famous for, especially in geek culture, that's undoubtedly Franchise/{{Batman}}. After dubbing Creator/ChristianBale in the ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', Claudio Serrano became the new Spaniard voice for the Cape Crusader from that moment on, substituting Fernando de Luis as the official voice. Claudio is in a position similar to Creator/RogerCraigSmith, a much younger voice than Creator/KevinConroy, but the fandom has accepted him as such. Something he wears as a badge of honor, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs since he is a huge comic book fan himself]].

6Also, when Creator/BenAffleck was chosen to play Batman instead of Christian Bale in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', there was little doubt that he would be the Cape Crusader again. Specially considering he had already dubbed Affleck in multiple movies before.

8Aside from Batman, you will also hear him in lots of TV-radio commercials and as the voice of many of Hollywood's most handsome actors. But Claudio's voice is full of personality and will give presence even to the most hated actors. Pay special attention whenever he voices Creator/PaulRudd.

10Other roles he's famous for are Brandon Walsh from ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'' (his StarMakingRole in the Spanish voice acting industry), Otto from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Altair from the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' series, Tommy Miller in both entries of ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'', Desmond Hume from ''Series/{{Lost}}'' (his performance was praised by Creator/HenryIanCusick himself), Dean Winchester from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' (he met Creator/JensenAckles in real life, and they got along really well), [[Series/DoctorWho the 9th Doctor]], and Dr. Derek Shepard from ''Series/GreysAnatomy''.

12He has a Twitter account, and he's pretty active. For those who can write Spanish, you can follow him [[https://twitter.com/claudiosensasao here]].

96!!Tropes:
97* PigeonholedVoiceActor: You will hear him voicing handsome actors and... ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''.
98* StarMakingRole: He had two, which gave him a star status at two different levels. First, Brandon Walsh in ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'', the role that put him on the A-list of the Spaniard voice acting industry. Also the role that made him to be normally type-cast [[PigeonholedVoiceActor for voicing handsome actors]]. Fast forward a decade and a half and you have Batman in ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', which made his name became fairly known for mainstream audiences. Keep in mind that the profession is still very obscure, so very few voice actors manage to get their faces known unless they do live action acting or become TV hosts.
