People say Kevin Conroy is overrated?

My problem with JL: War wasn't the voice acting. It was the attitude of Superman. It should not have taken long at all to figure out Batman was human, and yet he went fairly all out trying to maim him. That, and he was pretty cavalier about throwing Batman and Green Lantern THROUGH occupied buildings. I expect it of the version of Wonder Woman they used, but never of Superman (also, I'm guessing the two of them knocked down a few buildings having celebratory sex, based on how they were portrayed in this movie). War!Superman gets something of a pass in that his characterization is based off of the character of the New52!Superman, who started out very cocky and, like you said, cavalier, comfortable in the fact that he was basically invincible. Plus, with the exception of his heat vision and a slap, Superman seemed pretty content to let Batman tire himself out uselessly using his fists and toys. Green Lantern, though, was absolutely abysmal. Wait, THAT'S what Superman is like in the New 52? No wonder people hate it. It's one thing for Guy Gardner to act like that, but he usually got his ass handed to him regularly enough that it dulled that.

You have to remember that it's been almost a decade (I know, right?) since the reboot. In that time, Superman grew up and matured. Until he died.

It's been 4 years, and New 52 Superman is dead and they have basically undid the New 52 with Rebirth.

And I already said he was dead, so I dunno why you felt the need to reiterate that.

It would have been 5 later this year (September I believe) ... but as they started undoing it last month it didn't make it 5 years.

other than Kevin Conroy my favorite Batman is Diedrich Bader. Yeah he did a good job... and honestly I can't really picture Conroy doing Brave and the Bold so a change their was at least a good idea. I kinda didn't like the concept of Brave And The Bold when it was announced, and then they did the Mayhem Of The Music Meister episode...
