    Default Favorite non-DCAU animated Superman voice?

    Barring Daly/Newbern from the discussion because they'd dominate (DCAU!), who are your favorite Superman voices? Just thought of this because someone mentioned Darren Criss' performance in MoT and I couldn't really think of which voice I've liked best over all these animated movies. They've all been serviceable, I think they all nailed the Superman voice, which I think might be why it's so hard for me to pick a favorite so far.

    My top 5 would be
    1. Daly
    2. Criss (he nails the “young unsure of himself Superman”) in my opinion
    3. O’Connell
    4. Nolan North
    5. Isaacs (I loved his take in Red Son)

    Huh? I was thinking maybe I didn't understand the topic, because Bud Collyer is the obvious answer. I don't need to be slapped in the face with a wet fish. Collyer was the voice of Superman on the radio, in the Fleischer Brothers cartoons and in the 1966 Filmation THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN cartoons. That last one is the Superman I heard, before I started reading the comic books. So that to me has always been the voice of Superman and Clark Kent (who sounds distinctly different, even though it's still Collyer).

    But Collyer was hosting TO TELL THE TRUTH at that time--which is something we always watched in our house--so I had a hard time wrapping my young brain around the fact that that guy who hosted the game show was also Superman.

    Bud Collyer, he just EXUDES justice in an old-fashioned way.

    Also, Lennie Weinrib, because he was the voice of Superman in quite possibly the first time I ever saw the character: the old Sesame Street sketches animated by Filmation. I remember seeing the one where he battles a giant ape on one of the Old School DVDs, and I didn't know it at the time, but that was a hint at my future. I just needed a rooster hat and a major theme park chain to get there.

    Bud Collyer.

    No matter how many reboots, new origins, reinterpretations or suit redesigns. In the end, he will always be SUPERMAN

    Janes Denton in All Star Superman is the only voice that I find iconic, and the one that best represents the feel of Superman (I have no love for the DCAU voice).

    Superman/ Clark, Kal should be a steady introvert with a thoughtful voice. That's James Denton to me. Plus you can feel the midwestern accent.
