With the news earlier this week that a Hush two-part animated movie was in the works at DC, we now have the news that one of the most famous Elseworlds tales, Superman: Red Son, is the next to get the animated treatment.
According to RTF the classic Mark Millar Cold War-set tale of what would happen had Kal-El’s ship landed in the Soviet Union rather than Smallville and what might this mean for earth’s greatest hero has already got its cast signed on.
Now, this is being reported as rumour but we saw the now deleted tweet by actor Diedrich Bader that said he was ‘excited to be part of this,’ so while nothing is confirmed, it’s pretty much, well, confirmed:
“Imagine a reality where the world’s most powerful super-being does not grow up in Smallville, Kansas – or even America, for that matter…”
Here’s the voice cast:
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)

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)

Jason Isaacs? Amy Acker? Phil Lamarr? Tara Strong?! This has nerdy goodness written all over it.
As for who is voicing who, well, that will all come later, but for now, just be excited that the Red Son is coming…
