    Also for people who didn't know he voice Shazam in "Superman/Shazam the return of Black Adam"

    Well I can't say I'm thrill, I could understand him voicing Flash, GL, and Shazam. But not Superman :(

    I like Wonder Woman change though :)

    Update:

    Hey guys I stand corrected on Jerry o'connell voicing Superman because what I heard so far is pretty good and having a talent like this on Superman could probably open doors for a solo movie?!?

    As long as it pays the bills for BvS, I don't care if Kevin Conroy plays Supes.

    People can (and actors usually do) adjust their voice while acting – we will see how it goes.

    He was good as Shazam but... eh. Not a lot of faith in O'Connell, after watching his whole run on Sliders I'm just not impressed with him as an actor/person.

    Well that's one way to think about it lol

    Anyways I suppose he'll be fine, but they couldn't just get the guy from Justice League: War, you know for some consistency?

    I like him. He sounds the right age for this new 52 Superman. He sounds better than the last guy from War. New 52 Supes is not just out of school but not mid 30ties either. Some folks seem to to forget this is supposed to be a Superman in his mid to late 20ties. Jerry sounds more mature than Aquaman .

    This will be the first animated movie I'll be buying. It's not that I hate the other ones I just haven't ever gotten around to doing it. I'll be getting it for two reasons

    1- Aquaman

    Dang, looks like they left the same animation style like in JL War. Oh well, it’s still better than what we got in Flashpoint Paradox. Definitely getting this animated movie.

    @saint_wildcard:

    Simply put, in JL War I didn’t like Superman’s built. Of course it wasn’t abomination like in Paradox, but still, he was way too massive, with too big jaw for my taste (flying tank, literally). Even in original JL comic by Johns and Lee he had way more proportionate figure and face.

    …Now that I think about it, maybe they did change animation style a bit for this next movie.

    Awesome! Can't wait for this. With the let down of assault on arkham, I am counting the days for this film. O'connel sounds like a competent superman and his captain marvel was pretty good. Also happy to see the superman/wonder woman relationship being implemented into the animated movie verse. Although with the return of Bruce Timm i'm ready to see that destroyed and replaced with batman/wonder woman. Sign.

    dc's so incredibly self-adulatory, it's like they're teaching us to love what they've done instead of doing what we love. Superman's voice is a little juvenile but they can just about get away with it, I think.

    @mightus:

    I'm willing to be wonderfully surprised but Timm has proven that he likes the whole wonder woman/batman relationship. He nerfed wonder woman to beyond insane levels on justice league and then made her prance around batman like some weak willed teenage girl. And since the justice league film he's making is pre 52 we can be sure to enjoy 76 minutes of the justice league being helpless morons until batman comes to save the day. Lovely.

    Well, Rosario Dawson voiced Diana in Wonder Woman, so I'll be okay :)

    Still, my only complaint is Wonder Woman's costume. I don't know what possessed Phil Bourassa to change it, but I can't fully enjoy these movies because of him. *Sigh*

    I forgot about that.....Ehh I am not really bothered. Sucks that its apparently doing bad though. even if Supes is with Diana I just hope they got his character better, not so "Justice League War punch everything in sight" attitude. As long as Supes acts a little calmer, and Oceanmaster can somehow come up with a less PISy way of beating the League I'll be good.

    I think they will. From what I hear the reason he was that way in the comic was cus that's what Geoff Johns thought Grant was going for. Even in Pak's first meet, Superman wasn't as arrogant and was more funny to see them but heads. And also judging by the little that was said in this sneak peak, I think they are fixing it,

    I also hope they fix the reason why they kiss and make it feel more natural than "Im lonely you're lonely, lets kiss"

    Sucks that its apparently doing bad though.

    And what is that suppose to mean?!?!

    What's wrong with the costume? I think the contrast of the silver/platinum against the dark colors.

    @scouterv: It hasn't anything to do with the colors, the New 52 costume is my favorite. What I don't like is that he didn't use that costume, he changed it and covered her up. I don't like the ponytail either.

    Ya know...looking at it, I have a problem in that it looks more like fabric, as opposed to armor. However, when I look at it, I honestly like the WAR costume as opposed to New 52. This is one of those scenarios, where I'd say more is a good thing. I just think she looks more like a fighter (not that New 52 WW doesn't look like a fighter, but she doesn't look as tough in that costume.) As for the ponytail, my only gripe is I would have made it somewhat shorter.

    It's not perfect, but I would say aside from those small things, it's the better costume to me.

    They retained Wondy's costume and they will show the romance between her and Supes!
