It was expected and sort of already confirmed anyway, but it's good to see this clearly won't be a 7 member JL team. Seems like even from the start this would have a lot more members than we usually get in animation. As someone who's long been tired of the usual "Big 7" approach, I'd gladly welcome a JL roster that's more reminiscent of Young Justice rather than the first 2 seasons of Justice League.
5-7 is usually the ideal number of characters for a group. JLU and YJ can get away with massive rosters because they are serialized shows. A movie would have trouble juggling 10-15 characters and doing right by all of them.
Most of those animated movies don't try to do right by all of the heroes or tell more personal stories unless it's about a standalone character anyway, plus they've been doing the 7 member thing pretty much from the get-go so it's no surprise if they'd want to have a bit of a different approach now.
I don't mind a different approach just pointing out why 7 is the go-to number.
Winston Duke (M'baku from Black Panther) will voice Batman/Bruce Wayne is David S Goyer's 'Batman Unburied' podcast along with Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy, General Zhao) as Alfred.
More details here:

Duke will star as Bruce Wayne, with Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs joining as Alfred, Batman’s trusty butler. No other castings have yet been announced, but Spotify is sharing new plot details about the podcast, which is described as a psychological thriller that dives into the mind of Bruce Wayne and features dark twists and classic Batman villains.
Here’s the logline: “When audiences meet Bruce Wayne he is a forensic pathologist, working in the bowels of Gotham Hospital and tasked with examining the victims of The Harvester, a gruesome serial killer preying on Gotham’s citizens. Not only will the superhero be forced to face his own mental demons, but he will also have to overcome them in order to save the citizens of Gotham as his alter-ego Batman.”
Reminds me of this cool Elseworlds 'Batman of Arkham Asylum' set in 1900 where Bruce Wayne worked as a psychiatrist trying to rehabilitate the criminals of Gotham:
Its a cool story and I wish they would adapt it one of these days.
Part of Sneak Peek of Injustice has already leaked
Justin Hartley (Former Aquaman and Green Arrow), interesting.
Some folks posted pics of Selina from the Injustice sneak peek, and seems like you were right, she isn't.

Anika Noni Rose is most famous for voicing Princess Tiana in Disney's The Princess and the Frog. This isn't her first DC role. She previously voiced Kuasa, Mari's older sister (who seeks to obtain the Totem for herself) in the Vixen animated web series on the CW Seed.
Her voices as Tiana are Kuasa are different. In Kuasa's case, she uses an African accent, while in Tiana's case she uses a Southern African-American accent. I'm impressed. I can't wait to hear her voice as Selina. She will probably even use her own voice.
