Nathan Fillion, Kevin Conroy Lead Cast Of Justice League: Doom

He’s been in both the JSA and the JLA.

Everything about this just sounds great. 

Yet another clue that DC might not really committing to the New 52 long term. Instead of coming up with a new story with the new versions of the characters – and let’s face it, the timing will never be more perfect – they push yet another adaptation of an old JL story featuring the characters from the previous DCU.

The clues are all around – they’re setting themselves up to return to the old DCU if sales don’t stay up on the New 52 titles. It’s emblematic of a remarkable lack of faith in what they’re doing.

And production lead time is no excuse. They knew they were going to do the New 52 years ago, it wasn’t exactly a spur of the moment thing. They could have made the first movie release of 2012 something that fit the new universe – or done something that isn’t so blatantly old, like maybe a Swamp Thing flick, to buy them some time to get a New 52 movie together.

None of their animated movies have used versions of the character that exactly “fit into” the current comic universe, even before the relaunch, and they’ve already done several adaptations of comic stories. No reason why that should change now. And, as noted, part of the reason for the change in team members from the comic is to make it more closely parallel the current League, even if it’s not precisely the same.

Someone brought that up in a twitter-based Q&A, and he said something about Arkham City not necessarily being his last appearance as the Joker, only that it would be hard to top. So there is hope he’ll reprise it again down the line.

I wish you were right dude.  the simple fact is that the heads at DC are so full of themselves right now.. they think this DCnU  mega disaster will be ahuge sucess. For some reason they cant see how this is going to blow up in their faces  by early spring when the sales are lower across the board than when they were in 2011

Really? Sales are better than they’ve been in years. Even after the initial hype wears off, they’ll still be high. There’s a crap load of new readers, many of whom are expressing interest in coming back for #2′s. Most of the books are pretty good (and more than a few are downright amazing). DC just revitalized the industry in a single month. Face it, this worked.

Honestly, I didn’t even remember Plastic Man being in the story.

Yet…they aren’t using the old versions of the characters.  Note Cyborg, Hal Jordan and a secret ID-less Flash, so that viewers can pretend it’s either Wally or Barry.
So it’s updated.  And as others have said, DC only began making plans for a reboot in late 2010.  The plan wasn’t approved until early 2011, which is why so many creative changes started taking place in February/March.

McDuffie wrote the script for this.
