Fans of the DC Universe animated films, the comics or TV stars Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) and Tim Daly (Wings, Private Practice) will be happy to know that the reigning voices behind Green Lantern and Superman will be reprising their roles in Justice League: Doom, arriving in early 2012 from Warner Home Video.
Justice League: Doom finds Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg and Batman on their heels when a team of super villains discover and implement the Dark Knight’s “contingency plans” for stopping any rogue Justice League member. The story is inspired by Mark Waid’s much-heralded JLA: Tower of Babel.
This will be the second time that Nathan Fillion will voice Hal Jordan in a DCU release. He previously lent his voice to Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (read our review). He was also the voice of Steve Trevor in 2008’s Wonder Woman.
Tim Daly has been the voice of Superman since the days of Superman: The Animated Series, and has two DCU credits to his name, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (review) and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (review).
Also reprising their roles are Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Batman, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) as Flash, Susan Eisenberg (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse) as Wonder Woman and Carl Lumbly (Alias) as J’onn J’onzz/Martian Manhunter.
Bumper Robinson (A Different World) joins the cast as Cyborg. And David Kaufman (Danny Phantom) reprises his role of Jimmy Olsen.
The Justice League faces two sets of villainous teams in the film – The Royal Flush Gang and a sextet of notable evildoers. The latter group includes three voice acting alumni of the Justice League animated series: Phil Morris (Smallville, Seinfeld) as Vandal Savage, Olivia d’Abo (The Wonder Years) as Star Sapphire, and Alexis Denisof (Angel) as Mirror Master. Also opposing our heroes are Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911) as Bane, Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files) as Metallo, and Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate SG-1) as Cheetah.
Lauren Montgomery, who helmed the DCU release Batman: Year One, directs JL: Doom with Bruce Timm attached as executive producer.
