Finally I had me some quality down time for the first time in over 2 weeks now so I was chillin a bit with Youtube. I just want to start off by saying that there are a lot of these videos for Young Justice as well as other animated shows featuring the voice actors and I'm working on trying to watch them all when I have time. But this one makes for a nice introduction for those of you who haven't scene any of them so far. It just blows me away which actors turned out to be the voice of some of the characters on YJ.
In some cases I knew it right away such as with Bruce Greenwood (Batman) or Marina Sirtis (Queen Bee) and in other cases I would have never guessed it in a million years such as Lex Luther who's voice is done by Mark Rolston who played Drake in ALIENS and you probably also know him from The Shawshank Redemption. In regards to this video what totally caught me off guard was which actors did the voices of Bane, Kobra, Sportsmaster and King Farady. Still miss this show so much fuck you CN!
I've been getting around to watching more of these voice actor videos and I'm luvin em so far. I especially love those "I thought that's who that was" moments as i watch them. So I think I'll keep posting the youtube vids for the DC animated movies I've seen that I thought were good.
These DC animated movies are really the only thing from DC worth spending money on these days. With both Young Justice and Green Lantern off the air now these movies are as good as it gets when you want something to watch.
Almost forgot this one. That rounds out all the DC animated movies I've seen in full that I thought were good I was able to find these voice actor vids for.
I really loved Ron Perlman as Deathstroke. Of course, I love Mr. Perlman in anything, but he really fit this character. I keep seeing Flashpoint for sale and have to hold myself off from buying it. I might fail one of these days, because I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI could see Ron Perlman as Deathstroke, especially the Pirate Flashpoint version. The voice just fits the look.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it's always interesting to find out who voiced who. I remember when I found out the same guy who played Lex on Smallville, was the same guy who did the Flash's voice and Deadshot's voice(who didn't think it was Kevin Spacey that did it at first?) Just cool.
I was in a mixed group of folks Fri. And you know how small talk goes to kind of break the ice. Anyway the cancellation of Young Justice got mentioned and everything went nuts!
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take with a quiet grin as I listened to how real fans of the show are still upset and confounded, dazed even at the cancellation of one of the greatest animated shows ever.
cool little story brother, thanks for sharing.
