OK, this confirmed an English dub was made for this film (as it should be), but we still don't have the English dub cast, so when are we going to know who voice who? Did the English cast from the 1st Batman Ninja film reprise their role?

This dub follows the trend of Warner Bros anime productions (most of which have Sola Entertainment attached) sending their dubs to Sentai. Ninja Kamui, Suicide Squad Isekai, Rick & Morty The Anime and now Lazarus show this trajactory (LOTR:WotR was presumably prelay and Uzumaki was a union dub, possibly due to Production IG USA handling it). This likely is too the same as well as I heard Bryson Baugus and John Swasey in a previous trailer.

As for why, its pretty obviously being done on the cheap and it couldn't be more clear on a sequel to a film that featured a lot of union actors who wouldn't work on this otherwise. Also shows in the product itself. It is kinda absurd for a large production group like Warner Brothers to cheap out like this, even for something like Batman.

Kind of bummed they recast everybody. I guess any "anime" by WB will now go through Sentai and be non-Union.

I'm torn between loving the Discowing nod and not jiving with watching the JL lose to the Batfamily.

If this is just going to be the Batfamily beating the Justice League thats pretty boring.

I take it you never read an Elseworlds title before, have you? Also there was a review for that movie in case you missed it.
