John C. McGinley voicing Metallo in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

With the animated feature being released rather soon, the villain Metallo will be voiced by actor John C. McGinley, who is no beginner in the world of voice acting.

According to MTV news, the actor voicing Metallo will be John C. McGinley who also starred in such animated features as "Clone High," "Spider-Man: The New Animated Series," "Justice League Unlimited," "The Boondocks," etc.

John is pretty excited about his portrayal because as a father, his children will be able to get a glimpse of dad in an animated release. "My son is old enough to hear and recognize my voice coming out of the characters, but it doesn't resonate with him yet," McGinley said. "My daughter will, and that is pretty cool. Not necessarily to be a killer robot, but we will see how things evolve."

With Metallo being featured in "Smallville," played by Brian Austin Green, it'll be interesting to see the representation McGinley can bring to the animated feature being released on September 29th.

I feel a good voice actor/actress can truly bring out a character so I'm waiting to see how Metallo comes across vocally through McGinley.

John C. McGinley is hilarious and yet still very diverse in his range of abilities. I look forward to this. He is credible and convincing in all his voice performances. Also in all his live-acting roles for that matter.

He was awesome in The Rock and Platoon!

But his best role is in Scrubs. Dr Cox is so funny, he truly makes me laugh.

Dr. Cox: Newbie, the only way you could be less productive right now is if you were in fact, the wall on which you're leaning against. Of course, then you'd be providing some jackass with a wall on which to lean against and reflect on what a jackass he truly is. I know, here it's a conundrum, but don't you worry about it. I'll tackle that one right upstairs [points to his head]. In the meantime, you could at least pretend to be doing some work. And right about now, even though you don't have your basket, oh it's just a terrific time for you to skip away, Shirley.
[J.D. walks away slowly]
Dr. Cox: Skip away, skip away, skip away [J.D. skips a little], skip, skip, skip to my lou, whoo hoo!

Pity he isnt going to voice one of Wolverine's enemies, as Dr Cox, he hates Hugh Jackman so much! lol

Malcolm McDowell is Metallo in my book.

It will be strange to hear someone else, even though I like McGinley. I wonder why they didn't get him considering they pulled everyone else together? At least Clancy's back.

Clancy Brown should voice everyone for ever!

It will be funny to see Cox as Metallo. "Superman you are a lo hoo hoo hoo hoooser"

@Ror
is Inglorious Basterds worth the full admission price? I like both Brad and Quentin...but I had to ask
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 8/20/2009, 6:23 AM
Ah yeah. It has it problems but definitely worth seeing. Just don't expect too much action, its quite talky.
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 8/20/2009, 9:01 AM
woah. Talky. I didn't expect that.

Well is it talky in the boring, pointless, superflous banter way of Death Proof?

Or is it talky in the clever, fun way of Pulp Fiction?

Yohon-Tell me one thing: How can you say the animation looks like trash when you're basing your opinion on still pics? Animation = moving pictures.

Monique Lhuillier's model from Gothic church out of the set, makeup and hair are emphasized an Celebrity Wedding Dresses atmosphere of cool fantasy, simplicity is not the focus of this release, but there is also excellent Cheap Bridal Dresses for making, such as opening the first thing. Fabric surface decoration is the focus of Monique Lhuillier, including small decorative frills Cheap Designer Wedding Dressesdesign, but also create a large volume of scallops, more ivory yellow complex surface decoration that section, showing the beauty of contrast changes.
