    Default Actor's voice you hear when reading a DC comic

    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

    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.”

    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.

    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

    Similar here.

    My one addition would be Jensen Ackles as Jason Todd. Guy nailed it in the animated film, and has been a fan of the character ever since.

    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.
