Watchmen Chapter 1 Might Have this Summer's Most Underrated Cast - Main Image

It's a shame that a lot of Watchmen fans seemingly aren't giving the upcoming animated DC flick a chance, especially considering how underrated the voice cast of Watchmen: Chapter 1 is.

Without further ado, check out the stellar cast and meet the voices behind the animated outlaw vigilantes that brought them to life!

Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs

Set in 1985, outlaw superhero Rorschach was the first of the bunch to discover the death of one of their former members and began his investigation as to who could be conspiring behind their deaths.

Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs is voiced by Titus Welliver, who previously lent his voice to both Marvel and DC: Agent Felix Blake in Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carmine Falcone in Batman: The Long Halloween Parts One and Two.

The Tomorrowverse offers fresh takes on DC heroes. The Tomorrowverse movies are best watched in order for a complete story with connecting tissue. The Tomorrowverse ended with its adaptation of Crisis On Infinite Earths.

The DC Animated Universe has had a long run as the top dog of DC's prestigious animation branch, but the advent of the Tomorrowverse offers a promising new take on the heroics of the beloved characters. Debuting with Superman: Man of Tomorrow in 2020, fans dubbed the new animated universe the Tomorrowverse in honor of this title. Featuring a consistent art style, returning voice actors and a shared continuity, the Tomorrowverse has outdone the Dceu as a valuable franchise within the DC's cinematic portfolio.

The fresh franchise released its first feature film the same year its predecessor, the Dcamu, released its final film, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Since 2020, the Tomorrowverse steadily put out animated feature films...

Batman and Joker will always be the most iconic hero-villain duo in the superhero universe and there is no one out there who can say otherwise. Whether it is Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy or the unmatched duo of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, the two characters are like fine wine and expensive cheese. Classic.

A personal favorite, though, is Troy Baker’s Joker and Jensen Ackles’ Batman in Batman: The Long Halloween. Now, Troy Baker is probably the most experienced in voicing Joker since he has given his voice to the character plenty of times. Needless to say, he understands the villain better than anyone. He opened up about how he looks at Joker and his words might put things in perspective for you.

Time and tide wait for none, even if you are an extremely overpowered speedster with the ability to transcend the barriers of different dimensions and universes. As DC’s present animated cinematic universe, dubbed Tomorrowverse, reaches the end of its journey with the adaptation of one of comics’ most important series, Crisis on Infinite Earths, in trilogy form, the first part focuses on the scarlet speedster Barry Allen, aka Flash, and his seminal role in the overarching narrative. In a sense, it’s a befitting conclusion (not even mentioning the key role Flash played in all the DC “Crisis”) given that Barry was the only surviving member of the previous cinematic universe Dcamu and also the one who introduced viewers to Tomorrowverse, acting as a link to tie in different iterations of characters, universes, and realities.

As a modernized adaptation of the classic storyline, Justice League: Crisis on the Infinite Earths,...

The official trailer for DC Universe Animated Original Movie Justice League: Warworld just dropped, giving fans their first glimpse at the upcoming film's Conan the Barbarian-like take on Batman.

The trailer comes courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment. It sees Batman (Jensen Ackles), Wonder Woman (Stana Katic) and Superman (Darren Criss) marooned on Warworld, where each member of the trio is somehow trapped in an environment based on a different era from Earth's history. The Dark Knight finds himself in prehistoric times (hence his caveman attire), while Wonder Woman becomes a gunslinger in the Wild West and Superman assumes the identity of a 1940s detective. The Justice League: Warworld trailer also teases the animated epic's various DC cameos, including fan-favorite bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Troy Baker).
