Kevin Conroy was a dear friend for over 30 years whose kindness and generous spirit knew no boundaries. His warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with us forever.
It’s a staple in the DCAU. Andrea Romano always does group recordings (sometimes she can’t get everyone but most of the time she can, including Mark Hamill)
The way George Newbern was able to act his speeches and dialogue throughout the animated series and really showcased how perfectly suited he was for the role of Superman.
Carl Lumbly brilliantly captures the alien nature of the Martian Manhunter, and his slower speech and deep voice sold him as one of DC's brightest heroes.
For the entire run of Superman: The Animated Series, Clark Kent's voice was performed by actor Tim Daly. With Justice League, the reigns were given to actor George Newbern. Since then, these two have gone back and forth voicing Superman and Clark Kent.

He later said he underestimated just how difficult voice acting for a superhero, especially one of Superman's stature, would be.
George Newbern completely embodied and supplemented the strength and optimism of the late Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Superman with the intensity of his Post Crisis roots, conjuring a modern Man of Tomorrow for an equally modern audience.
Every once in a while I catch an old episode and hearing their voices is like visiting with old friends. They've given us such authentic and earnest portrayals that the characters feel like real people. Its one of those rare creations where their work has transcended the medium.
The Black Green Lantern John Stewart was created in the early 1970s until the 2000s, when the Justice League animated series used John Stewart as their sole Green Lantern, that he gained the recognition he deserved.
Other than starring as Theresa Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place for 5 Years, voicing Hawkgirl was the only other thing (that I recall) Maria Canals being known for !!!

The Justice League cartoons were absolutely amazing, as we got to see ongoing team-ups of familiar faces alongside characters. These cartoons remain the benchmark for doing an animated ensemble correctly.
yes, until jl unlimited appeared. It really changed the characters and had a very absurd plot, specially on third season. Feels like it happened after a crisis or in a parallel world. I even wonder if it is cannon.
Whenever Superman shows his true kindness, it makes the viewers smile, and whenever he goes dark, it feels one hundred percent earned, proving a cartoon intended for kids struck the right balance with the Man of Steel.
George Newbern voiced Superman for five years in the early 2000s on Justice League, earning additional credits for The Batman a few years later and Superman videos in the 2010s.
The pairing of Shayera Hol and John Stewart holds a special place in our hearts, especially since we got to see the relationship gradually blossom. The reveal in the Once and Future Thing that they could eventually give birth to Batman Beyond character Warhawk was icing on the cake.
Combine iconic characters with spectacular pacing, animation, villains and thrilling adventures, Justice League is arguably the best series in the DC Animated Universe that every comic book fan needs to witness.
The Justice League animated series has the recurring themes of relationships and trauma, but the writers seem aware that audiences expect action more than anything else. There are numerous fight scenes in the Justice League animated series, most of which give every member of the group a chance to shine.
one of the many perks of UA-cam...of course I looked for this after Kevin passed away... its nice to know they worked together, I thought they dubbed individually. its great to see the real people behind our heroes.
The Justice League animated series was a special treat for viewers of all ages. For fans who grew up watching Super Friends in the 1970s, they were able to see their favorite characters on the screen once again, but this time with deeper and continuing storylines. Newer fans were introduced to heroes like the Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl.
In many ways, George Newbern provides the same stellar performance of Superman that Tim Daly did, but simply expanded upon the performance to make it even better.
Kevin Conroy is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the Batman voice acting crew, and the pinnacle upon which all past, current and future talent will be measured against.

The Justice League animated series, which first aired in 2001, follows iconic superheroes as they fight crime and protect the earth from powerful threats. Justice League works as the perfect introduction to the DC Comics Universe and features some of the team's most exciting and memorable adventures.
Jennifer Hale is truly in a class all her own, having voiced an innumerable amount of characters over the years that made their respective franchises major hits.
For five seasons, John Stewart was given center stage, gaining his own rogues gallery, love interests and storylines that rocked the foundations of the Justice League and the series.
George Newbern has the youthful and energetic voice befitting of a dynamic action hero in the form of Superman on the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited.
The DC Animated Universe was incredibly influential so the adaptation did help to introduce countless children to DC and had a huge impact on the comics themselves as it introduced several new characters into the wider DC canon.
After years of solo series, it was time to bring together the world's finest with the Justice League animated series. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini amped things up by having stories that would last up to four episodes that allows them to fully tell a story and develop characters over time.
Justice League had several great character arcs. Chief among these was Hawkgirl, brought to life by the voice work of Maria Canals, who was the perfect fit for the Thanagarian warrior. The expert voice acting brought a range of emotions to the winged hero throughout her appearances.
This surprisingly mature take on superhero tales was impressive in how the Justice League animated series loved reinvention, completely shifting the show's format after the second season to incorporate even more of the great wide weirdness of the DC Comics universe.
George Newbern as Superman Throughout the Justice League franchise as well as animated flicks such as Superman vs. The Elite, the Man of Tomorrow was shown to be a character of unequivocal calibre, always willing to risk himself for the greater good and forever believing in the ideals past down by his parents.
With its even deeper bench of heroes, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited earned the right to take bigger creative swings and essentially tackle the type of ensemble storytelling in animation that Marvel Studios has been doing in live-action. These shows are one of the best depictions of Superman among the greatest animated series.
This series helped make John Stewart's Green Lantern a hugely popular character, eclipsing for some the runs of Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner, and brought Hawkgirl to the forefront. The show was extremely popular and made the Justice League a hot commodity again before giving way to an even better show two years later.
George Newbern gives a deep sense of moral complexity and emotional nuance as the voice of the Man of Steel during both the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited.
Star Crossed, the grand finale of the Justice League animated series, felt comparatively fresher, bringing the Thanagarian army into the DC Animated Universe for the first time. Star Crossed felt even more epic as it features only seven Justice Leaguers against an entire armada, but the character moments that really set the grand finale apart from the Justice League revealing their identities to each other to the sad resolution of Green Lantern and Hawkgirl's love story.
Across the two seasons of the Justice League animated series, each main character is given ample individual time and arcs, all while showcasing all the different intricate relationships and groupings as well as the villains served an important purpose and some even served as protagonists periodically.
George Newbern found his footing during the second season of Justice League and was then embraced by fans as being a perfectly good Superman in his own right.
The heroes in the Justice League animated series represent humankind's best attributes and the actors imbued their characters with naturalism, humanism, strength and nobility without sounding fraudulent or stiff.
Kevin Conroy was kind, smart, talented and deeply appreciative of a career that spanned decades. He leaves behind a legacy that will never be matched or forgotten to his legion of fans.
After the success of Batman: The Animated Series, there came a new Superman animated series, starring Tim Daly's tones. George Newbern took over for the team-up shows Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. The pair have been alternating the role in straight to DVD movies ever since.
George Newbern gets to play the traditional personification of Truth, Justice and the American Way, portraying a superhero of such great character phenomenally.
Whether it is voicing original characters or ones that fans have a very firm idea of what they should sound like, Phil LaMarr reliably delivers memorable performances.
The DC Animated Universe had lasting and impressive villains. In addition to the Joker and Lex Luthor who frequently appeared in the Justice League animated series, there was Darkseid, Brainiac and Vandal Savage who all made appearances in the show, becoming part of memorable and long-running storylines in the process.
The animated series that brought together the other DC shows that Bruce Timm had created, Justice League was the first time since Super Friends that Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman all shared the screen together. Adding in Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Flash, and Hawkgirl to round out the team, Justice League was an instant hit with critics and fans. The show only ran for two seasons, but it spun off into an even more ambitious series where the seven heroes were joined by dozens of other DC characters looking to make their mark in the animated universe.
Since voicing Killer Frost in Justice League, Jennifer Hale has become the default voice for the ice-themed female supervillain, reprising the role in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and Batman: Assault on Arkham. Her cool, restrained but cutting delivery fits the role of Killer Frost like a glove in the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited.
As the individual animated adventures of Batman and Superman began to wind down, it was time for a new animated version of the Justice League. While Tim Daly won praise for his take of Superman, scheduling conflicts led to the casting of George Newbern to take over for Tim Daly. George Newbern's take of Superman was similar to Tim Daly's take, but in time, George Newbern became just as popular on the back of the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited to lead to even more voice work as the Man of Steel in both animated films and video games.
There is something deeply rich and sympathetic about George Newbern's performance as Superman because he brings out an element of humanity that was always missing in the various iterations of the Superman character.
In most of his voice acting, Phil LaMarr has a very distinguishable bass that makes his voice distinctive in his roles. His voice lends more humor to his comedic roles.
Tim Daly originally portrayed the Man of Steel in Superman: The Animated Series before George Newbern took over during the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited. George Newbern's heroic voice has been a worthy follow up to Tim Daly's performance and has continued to be used throughout other incarnations of Superman. His voice portrays a type of leader that was necessary to lead the Justice League against the world's biggest threats.
George Newbern's Superman shared a lot of the strengths of Tim Daly's version, but he also introduced a level of emotional vulnerability that was absent from that previous version. Superman's relationships with his fellow Justice Leaguers ended up being richer and more rewarding than those from his solo show, and George Newbern made those connections feel authentic. His speech to Darkseid in the series finale about living in a cardboard world is some of the very best acting DC Animation has ever given us. Superman has been blessed with a deep bench of voice acting talent, but George Newbern is the essential Man of Steel.
This solid animated series is an excellent entry point into the deeper DC Comics Universe. The writing is excellent, the animation comic-book perfect, and a classic "getting the gang together" story unfolds at just the right pace. Viewers will catch on quickly enough to enjoy this tale of good versus evil. While Superman and Batman still get the most attention, the rest of the team do their share of fighting and coming up with plans to foil the villains for good.
Those relationships from the first two seasons of Justice League receive further attention in Justice League Unlimited, but the influx of new characters creates a wealth of new connections within the group.
The Justice League animated series was critically acclaimed for its heartfelt faithfulness to each character's source materials while crafting renditions that stand proudly on their own terms as well.
The result was every Justice League episode felt like a movie, with the biggest characters taking on the biggest threats in their universe. Justice League is easily one of the most beloved series that would get a sequel series in the same universe in the form of Justice League Unlimited.
The Justice League animated television series found a way to straddle a number of different lines, telling amazing stories while still highlighting the humanity of the characters.
Kevin Conroy was a dear friend for over 30 years whose kindness and generous spirit knew no boundaries. His warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with us forever.
