BREAKING: Famous People to Voice DC Animated DVD Movie
 |
?DC just announced the voice cast for its Batman: Year One direct-to-DVD flick. As per usual, they have hired famous people, but not quite so famous that they can’t afford them. The cast includes:
? Ben McKenie of The OC as Bruce Wayne/Batman
? Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad as Jim Gordon
? Eliza Dushku as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
? Katee Sackhoff as Gordon’s gal pal Sarah Essen
Frankly, I don’t really give a shit, because this news is utterly irrelevant until we actually hear them voicing their characters, and because DC almost invariably hires celebs who do good-to-great voice acting jobs anyways with the notable exception of Billy Baldwin as Batman in Crisis on Two Earths). Still, it’s a slow news day anyways, and I figured maybe you’d want to see the first screenshot from the movie. Hey, it looks like the Batman: Year One graphic novel! Fucking amazing!
