Best of the Batman: The Brave and The Bold voice-cast

Batman: The Brave And The Bold is starting its third and final season this week, and really, that's a damn shame. It started as very much skewed towards a younger audience, even by adults-who-still-watch-cartoon standards; something of a preschool Silver Age primer. However, even then it had a certain absurdist charm that, along with its penchant for dragging up some of the most obscure or forgotten DC characters, it brought in an older audience and seemed to adapt itself in that regard. Somewhere in the second season, it had become a genuinely great, at times completely insane superhero show.

I could look at the episodes, or the characters they've dragged up, or the fact that the Batmobile has on several occasions turned into a giant bat-mech (that is somehow inexplicably not a toy yet) but one of the things that has most impressed me about the show has been the cast. If you look at the talent assembled, it's basically a list of the best voice-over talent working today, plus some random stars from elsewhere such as Alan Tudyk, Wil Wheaton, J.K. Simmons, et al. Today I'm going to look at some of my favorites who worked on the show (turns out most of the clips available on YouTube are not embeddable anymore so I changed it to a link where needed).

All-Star Superman

All-Star Superman came out this week, and while the trailers didn't exactly fill with me confidence about the project, I still rushed out to grab a copy based solely on how much I loved the books. And so I'm a little surprised to say I ended up far happier with the movie than I expected. Telling the story of Superman's last acts before his death, I loved it but have a hard time separating it from the original source material, hopefully managed to look at it both as an adaptation and its own merits.
