SAN FRANCISCO, CA, March 3, 2007 – Warner Home Video, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release an all-new original movie Superman Doomsday on September 18, 2007.

Utilizing the vast history and tradition of DC Comic’s classic comic book stories along with a more provocative and action-packed story line for avid comic fans as well as kids and their parents, Superman Doomsday features the voices of Adam Baldwin (“Independence Day”) as Superman, Anne Heche (“Men in Trees”) as Lois Lane and James Marsters (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) as Lex Luthor, and will be available for $19.98. Order due date is August 14, 2007.

So James has been promoted from Brainiac to Lex Luthor. Sweet. Bet Adam and James are both geeking out over this in true fanboy fashion.

This sounds very interesting. I might have to actually pick this up.

Better have Bruce Timm's character designs...the new DC shows are garbage compared to BtAS and JL!

Speaking of Bruce...he's still casting Joss actors...Gina, Nathan, Amy, Morena, and Adam have all been voices on Justice Leauge!

And Alexis Denisof, who also did a voice on Batman Beyond. And looking through the Justice League episode cast page on IMDB, I also spot Juliet Landau in several episodes, and Armin Shimerman in at least one.

Wow, seasons four and five of Justice League are just rife with Jossverse actors.

I had also heard the David Boreanaz will voice Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the upcoming JL:New Frontier DTV.
Timm is producing I believe. In the commentary track on "this little piggy" he talks about Joss's willingness to defy the standard set of expectations that led to that episode. Timm said he'd been going through a serious Buffy phase, watching it obsessively or some such. That could explain the stacked deck of Whedonverse actors in the voice ranks.
Seth Green was a regular character voice on Batman Beyond btw, (as well as a few voices on there that should up on the other Timmverse shows like Michael "LL" Rosenbaum.
