Is there an actor/actress so identified with a DC character that you hear their voice in your head when reading a DC comic?

First one that comes to mind for me is Jackie Cooper Perry White.
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
Superman will always sound like Christopher Reeve to me, Batman like Kevin Conroy, and Wonder Woman like Susan Eisenberg.
Yea, these for me. Old original early BTAS Conroy for Batman I must stress.
Joker is original early BTAS Mark Hamill (not Hamill of recent years) of course. David Warner (RIP) is Ra's. Michael Rosenbaum for Lex.
Clancy Brown is Two-Face actually, not Richard Moll (who did a fine job and Clancy sounds a lot like Moll of course). Clancy's Kurgan voice (see Highlander) is more the Two-Face side of Harvey/Face dynamic, and regular ole Clancy does the Harvey side. Of course, both sides sound similar enough, Kurgan Clancy is just more raspy (since the Kurgan nearly lost his head and his neck/throat was scarred bad). This odd switch to Clancy is driven a lot by my love of Clancy Brown roles, I just have watched an eff ton of his work, and so his voice has infected my head and resistance is futile.

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I hear Lane Smith when I read Perry White
I hear Terry Hatcher when I read Lois
For the heroes, I hear:
Superman - Crispin Freeman
Batman - Ron Perlman
Wonder Woman - Courtenay Taylor
Green Lantern - Michael Jai White
Zatanna - Kari Wahlgren
Huntress - Vanessa Marshall
Aquaman - sometimes Bryce Johnson, sometimes Phil LaMar ("Almighty Neptune!"
Back when Superfriends was on the air, no doubt their voices would be in my head while reading the comics. These days, it's the more recent voice actors.
The voices from the Superman/Aquaman Hour, and New Adventures of Batman.
Zatanna - Lacey Chabert, so far I think the one who really have a lot of chances to enchant backward spell and deliver it astonishingly. Etativel just roll nicely on tongue
Wally - Jason Spisak
Young hot-headed Supergirl - Nicole Sullivan
Wonder Woman - Mix of Eisenberg and Gadot
Zatanna - Lacey Chabert
Spectre - Gary Cole for Jim Corrigan, Mark Hamil for the Spectre
Green Lantern - Josh Keaton
I hear the cast of JLU
The DCAU, Teen Titans and Young Justice casts for the most part. GLTAS too.
The cast of The Adventures of Superman.
The cast of Batman.
The cast of Super Friends.
Pretty much this. Superman is a little more ambiguous for me but Reeve's charisma shines through. (Don't really like when they draw him like Reeve though).
I don't hear Rosenbaum for Wally unless he's cracking a joke. Barry is probably pretty close to what NPH did in New Frontier, maybe a little softer.
