For me TDK is a fantastic pin with deep rules and a lot of fun to play. Stacking MBs, collecting 'doublers' and especially the Bat Signal Challenge where you can build up the Jackpot before starting the MB is a brilliant rule. Although in the BS-MB you have the mentioned problem with the scarecrow but this can be seen as an additional challenge.
Concerning voices I have no problems as I am German and saw the Movies translated with other voices anyway
Concerning the amount of shots for the gadgets: This can simply be reduced in the settings
Compared to the ST I would say: ST is of course brighter, faster and much shorter/game. But toys and rules are much better (TDK), which might change due to code updates. Luckily I have not to choose
Three mods are very important for the TDK: Shaker, invisible glas and BB lightning
