Nathan Fillion Joins Justice League: Doom, The New DC Animated Movie

• Phil Morris -- Vandal Savage
• Olivia d’Abo -- Star Sapphire
• Alexis Denisof -- Mirror Master
• Carlos Alazraqui -- Bane
• Paul Blackthorne -- Metallo
• Claudia Black -- Cheetah

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum... gotta admit I'm not overly keen on the characters chosen... it's the Legion of Doom... they should have gone with the Nemeses (Luthor, Joker, Sinestro, etc)

Why replace aquaman if hes in the JL of DCnU??

This looks awesome though very excited

Hell to the yes. Definitely picking this up. Been falling behind on picking up the DC Animated stuff, so this'll get me back on the horse.

Also, the amount of JLU voices returning (specifically Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash) makes me smile.

this...this just made my day...i seriously need to sit down now...

I thought Arkham City was Kevin Conroy's last voicing of Batman ever. Or was that Mark Hamill as Joker?

i wonder if this is the apocalypse of 09 that they mentioned in batman beyond cartoon sometimes i would love to see that story.

P.S.

It's not really a "complete" reunion when Phil LaMarr (John Stewart) and Maria Canals (Hawkgirl) aren't there.

@Jordanstine: The only problem with John Stewart - and Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner - is that he carries the "not my GL" stigma. DC seems to have some sorta Hal Jordan-fetish these days, and as far as 'token black' picks go, Cyborg is the next best (if not the best) choice they have. People know who he is, but he's not too important of a character (unlike Static, who isn't that important universe-wise, but is the face of Milestone...) and he doesn't have the word 'Black' in his superhero name.

I kinda wish they just brought the Tangent stuff back. I haven't read any of it (yet) but the characters sound super diverse and genuinely interesting too.

True dat, Cyborg is the next more popular black DC superhero.

Your comment made me laugh since I was thinking, "how about Black Lightning..."!

First reaction- YES! NATHAN FILLION!!!!!!! <3333333

Second reaction- Kevin Conroy, Tim Daley, and Flash from the Justice League. :DDDDDD

Third reaction- Tower of Babel! :D

Fourth reaction- Cyborg... Ok, cool I guess :)

Fifth reaction- No Aquaman or Plastic Man?! F*CK YOU CYBORG!!!

Sixth and final reaction- ...Where's my Flash solo movie, DC?

Please excuse me while I go fangirl the f*ck out.

Nice, Fillion did a great job with Emerald Knights. He should be portraying Hal Jordan in the live-action movies.

The movie's taken inspiration from a brilliant story, adapted by an exceptional writer (RIP Dwayne Mcduffie) and has a well known (well at least in our circle) cast of voice actors. I literally cannot wait!

Wow, this sounds awesome! I'm actually really excited about the inclusion of Cyborg as well, since I'm a huge Titans fan.

#1 Why is Superman wearing girly eye-liner?

#2 Wait what? Cyborg? What happened to Plastic Man?

Okay wow, couple of things: First of all this is like the 3rd time or so that DC shafted John Stewart in their latest animated feature film (Crisis of Two Earths, now Doom, and even Emerald Knights).

I grew up a Hal Jordan fan, but I'm literally sick of the fact that since John Stewart is not going to be the featured Green Lantern, that DC feels like they need to throw in another "token black character" into the mix by adding Cyborg now to appease the masses which...

"DC: Dear John Stewart fans,

Sorry for all the John Stewart fans out there of the original Justice League cartoon who do not read the comic books but grew up watching John Stewart as the original Justice League's Green Lantern on TV. The truth is we honestly really wanted Hal Jordan to be in JL cartoon in the first place, but our DC Exec Producer - Bruce Timm needed a black token character to appeal to the masses (which he explained so in JL Season 1's Special Features or you can read it HERE) so we ended up with John Stewart. But with our recent Hal Jordan film, I hope you understand why you won't be seeing the Green Lantern you grew up watching since 2000 anymore; the comic book fans at least understand. But to make it up to you, we'll give you the fans, Cyborg, which you all know from Teen Titans since we're assuming, you, the John Stewart fans are indeed of all diversities including white, asian, hispanic, but mostly black."

^ Hurts, but it's the unspoken truth.

Secondly, they already did this in the comic books first at the expense of replacing Martian Manhunter. And now they're doing it here at the expense of Plastic Man? The original Tower of Babel storyline didn't even have Cyborg in it!

Damn you!

sounds interesting

Must...see it! I'm absolutely looking forward to this. Anything JLA I will watch, 'nuff said!

As much as I like Kevin Conroy as Batman, I would like to see a new actor play the character or at least have Bruce Greenwood do this Batman as well or have Jeremy Sisto reprise the role which he played in The New Frontier. I'm still disappointed that there is no Kyle Rayner in this and that it won't have Ra's Al Ghul.

While MARVEL dominates the big screen, DC does an amazing job (typically) with their animated features. I thought MARVEL had great potential in the animated area, but they just haven't excelled (though Avengers:EMH is still my favorite comic series so far in terms of animated).

they should make an animated film based on the new 52 JL

Looking forward to this.

I remember that Ra's once used a virus called Ebola Gulf-A (aka The Clench). Maybe that could be the Legion of Doom's master plan...

So Kevin Conroy as Batman... instant buy.

SO EXCITED!!!

Yeah Baby, another movie from Dc comics!!!!

awesome.

League roster is great -although i wish they hadnt left out Aquaman

LOD roster is pretty good- I now officially declare Olivia D'abo as the go to voice for Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire. She's been doing it since the Justice League cartoon and rocking it the whole way

Voice Cast: two words.......DROOL DROOL

Sounds great and a very interesting choice in terms of story line for the animated movie. The Tower of Babal was indeed a fun ride, especially giving insight on Batman's somewhat questionable relationship with the Justice League, it was well done. These DC animated movies are usually top notch, hopefully this will be as well.

I cannot stress how much I am looking forward to this movie!

...that said, I'm disappointed that Ra's al Ghul involvement isn't included, and I'm not liking the replacement of Aquaman!

can't wait to see it, I hope they honor dwayne mcduffie in the film
