An animated take on Mark Millar's Superman: Red Son is reportedly in the works, and the adaptation has seemingly attracted a heck of a voice cast.

Revenge of the Fans recently brought us the news that DC Animation was developing a 2-part Batman: The Long Halloween movie, and now they reckon the studio is also moving forward with an adaptation of the classic Elseworlds tale, which asks "what if" baby Kal-El's ship had crashed in the Soviet Union instead of the United States?

ROTF has also shared the cast list, and though they're not sure which characters each actor will be playing in this movie, they do mention if any of them have voiced any DC heroes or villains before now.

Amy Acker (Has voiced The Huntress in the past)
Anna Vocino (Has voiced Oracle several times)
Diedrich Bader (Has voiced several DC characters, But Is Best known for Batman)
Greg Chun
Jim Ward (Has voiced Commissioner Gordon various times)
Jason Isaacs (Has voiced Lex Luthor, Sinestro, and Ra’s Al Ghul)
Jason Spisak (Has frequently voiced Wally West)
Jim Meskimen (Has voiced Batman and Victor Fries)
Paul Williams (Has frequently voiced Oswald Cobblepott, aka The Penguin)
Phil Lamarr (Has voiced a wide variety of DC characters)
Phil Morris (Has voiced a wide variety of DC characters)
Roger Craig Smith (Voiced Batman in Batman Ninja)
Sasha Roiz
Tara Strong (Best known for voicing Harley Quinn, has also done Raven and Batgirl)
Travis Willingham (Has voiced Superman in several Lego DC projects)
Vanessa Marshall (She’s Black Canary on Young Justice, has also been Poison Ivy)
William Salyers (Has voiced both The Penguin and Hugo Strange)
Winter Zoli

Pending an official announcement we'll have to take this as a rumor, but it is worth pointing out that Diedrich Bader shared this report on Twitter along with the caption “Excited be a part of this!” before deleting. So yeah, it's probably on the level!

I’ve always wished they did more with this universe. I’d like a more expanded Red Son universe like maybe a few more books for like Batman or the Flash bc it’s a really cool premise

I never liked Red Son

Hell I really never liked a majority of Mark Millar’s work

@LEVITIKUZ - My only real issue with it (it’s one of my favorite Superman stories) is that they like a lot of the early comics make him wayyyy too powerful for my taste. The guy can do basically anything, he’s a genius, and can be everywhere at once it just kinda cheapens him for me personally knowing he’s that much of a god as opposed to like a Man of Steel or 90’s comics power level where he’s the strongest but not practically god

@Ha1frican - My biggest issue is I just don’t care about Russian Superman. Like it’s a story where Superman is evil & I just don’t care for it. Sure he turns good in the end somewhat but I get tired of stories with evil Superman

The only time I ever liked it is Injustice mostly due to the comics where Tom Taylor took his time showing the downfall of Superman

But yea it’s just a story where I’m not interested in. Idk I just think ideas like “what if Superman landed in Russia or Nazi Germany” are just dull. I always preferred ones with a different sort of environment. Stuff like Superman 23 where that Superman was raised in New Orleans or the Gods & Monsters Superman who was raised by illegal immigrants. I’ve often wanted to see a story where what if Superman landed in a city or like a suburbs & was raised there. Stuff where the environment & people is different than a farmer in Kansas but not overly dramatic like Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany

@LEVITIKUZ - see I never took him as evil in that story, he was always a good guy with a good heart he just protected the interests of the soviets as well. He actually knew that by taking control he would make the world a better place and he was right except lex got in his way

So I don’t know if you would ever post this @rormachine but it is something interesting

Ok so I know for the past few years, I’ve been wrong on the Superman video game rumors with the amount of rumors I posted about in articles & comments

Having said that I got some real evidence on what the next Batman game is

This is a photo for a Christmas party at WB Games Montreal.... in 2017



It’s pretty much 100% guaranteed the next Batman game they make will be a Court of Owls game
