Warner Home Video Announces Voice Cast For "Justice League: Doom" Animated Film

Warner Home Video has issued a press release for the voice cast of the upcoming Justice League: Doom animated feature, set for an early 2012 release. Check that and two new images below.

DC Universe Animated Original Movie in early 2012;
Eight Justice League TV series alums featured in voice cast

Primetime television stars Nathan Fillion and Tim Daly, the reigning voices of Green Lantern and Superman, respectively, join an exciting group of actors reprising their famed cartoon roles in Justice League: Doom, an all-new entry in the popular series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies due 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.

Fillion, the star of ABC’s hit TV drama Castle, made his debut as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan in the recent Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Fillion made his initial DCU bow as the voice of Steve Trevor in the 2008 hit Wonder Woman.

Currently headlining the cast of ABC’s popular Private Practice, Daly originated the title character’s voice in the landmark cartoon, Superman: The Animated Series. He has reprised the role in two DCU films: the 2009 extravaganza Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and the 2010 thriller Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.

In addition to current primetime stars Fillion and Daly, the cast is a grand reunion of the original group of actors who provided the voices of the Justice League for the cartoon of the same name and its follow-up, Justice League Unlimited. Reprising their roles are Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Batman, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville, Breaking In) 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, Transformers: Animated) joins the cast as Cyborg.

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.

David Kaufman (Danny Phantom) also reprises his Justice League role of Jimmy Olsen.

The film is executive produced by Bruce Timm (Batman: Year One), and directed by Lauren Montgomery (Batman: Year One), who is also credited as producer alongside Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series). Justice League: Doom is the final script from the late Dwayne McDuffie (All-Star Superman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths). Casting and dialogue direction is once again in the capable hands of Andrea Romano (Batman: Year One, SpongeBob SquarePants).

Warner Home Video will premiere the Justice League: Doom trailer during its presentation at New York Comic Con on Friday, October 14 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the IGN Theater. Also premiering during that session will be the Catwoman animated short that is attached to Batman: Year One, the next DC Universe Animated Movie (streeting October 18).

Kick ass! Tower of Babel is one of my favorite JLA stories. I will definitely be looking forward to this! Glad to hear most of the original JL/JLU cast are reprising their roles.

It looks like Vandal Savage is going to be the mastermind behind the plot instead of Ras' Al Ghul in this version.

I'm not too crazy about the two stills. They look a bit too cartoony.

I wonder what Batman's plan to take out Hal is? In Tower of Babel it was derived from Kyle's visual nature as an artist. Sure making Hal blind would cause problems, too, but it wouldn't be as tailored to Hal. I'm hoping something more Hal-specific is in the cards. (Though truth be told I would much rather they had stuck with Kyle as the GL in this.)

I'm surprised there isn't more backlash for the switch.

I was wondering about the GL switch too. To add, Wally was featured in the original story, not Barry, but since Wally no longer exists...

I was assuming, with Rosenbaum as Flash, that it WOULD be Wally. Isn't it?

Yes, but that's not surprising. Barry hasn't been used since New Frontier and even that was a period piece of sorts.

Yeah, same here. I'm okay with it as someone who prefers Hal, but it is kind of annoying considering Kyle was originally in the story. I know a lot of people prefer Kyle as well, wouldn't blame them for being super pissed.
