@ThatAlexDude -
If they go full CGI with Darkseid in the DCEU, he needs to be voiced by Ironside. He's the definitive Darkseid voice, and it's impossible to read the comic without hearing his voice IMO.

@Darkknight2149 - Yeah! He's one of those characters who sounds the best with the greatest voice, like Conroy for Batman, Sorkin for Harley, etc.

James Earl Jones may have the voice of a god, but Michael Ironside has the voice of the devil.

Whenever I read Darkseid in comics, this is the voice in my mind. It’s been great hearing him as Sam Fisher again, and now this? Just perfect.

"I am many things, Kal-El. You couldn't even begin to imagine half of them. But for now, I shall take the role of the executioner. A final gift, my wayward son: A fast death, infinitely preferable to the shame of returning to Earth. There, your legacy would be one of fear and distrust - a pariah desperately seeking the favor of a world that cursed your name."

@SmokingMan - My favorite one's:

Supes: "Who are you?"
Darkseid: *unleashes Omega Beams and burns Clark*
Darkseid: "THAT is who I am..."

As well as:

Darkseid: "Savor your moment of triumph, Superman, but remember... victory has its price..." Then proceeds to annihilate Dan Turpin with Omega Beams right before he retreats.

Finally! It's about time that he returned to voice the character. He's the definitive Darkseid. If they go full CGI with Darkseid in the DCEU, he really needs to be voiced by Ironside.
