First off, it's Michael Rosenbaum, with an "N".

Secondly, he PLAYED Lex Luthor, not just voiced him. Smallville is a live-action series.

"Tara Strong, the voice of the sweet and innocent Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls will be actor in charge of bringing the ditzy and sadistic Juliet Starling to life in the chemically x-treme zombie slasher Lollipop Chainsaw. Sugar and spice and everything sliced, that's what killer cheerleaders are made of."

I think of all the roles they could've listed, Bubbles would've been the funniest one to link her to.

Oddly enough when I think of Lex Luthor I see Rosenbaum but hear Clancy Brown.

This is going to be either awesome or completely horrible. No middle ground.

I concur, but either way it's gonna be a hit with big boobs and chainsaws on the front cover.

I love Tara Strong, but there is only ONE Harley Quinn and that is Arleen Sorkin.

I like Tara Strong's work in pretty much everything she does that I've seen. Loved her voice work as Raven on Teen Titans.

Well, she is named after her (Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel). Laughing

Too bad they didn't do the Judas Contract. Laughing

They will never do the Judas Contract with current DC editorial regime (Johns, Didio, Lee, Carlin, etc.).

The current regime is against fun and quality.

The 80's Titans era has been over for 20 years and corporate/current editorial thinking is that the fanbase isn't there to support a film based in that era. Their thinking is that for many kids the anime-ized/manga-ized Teen Titans ARE the real Teen Titans ignoring the reality of an older fanbase in favor of the "sure thing."

Heh... The Titans (1980s) that actually LIFTED DC out of its creative malaise and got it some serious attention and sales from fans in how many years gets shafted for today's colorless print version???? The only Titans series that's worth a damn in my opinion and about the only thing DC produced that was as good as the Claremont/Byrne X-Men run! What a slap in the face to the creators (Wolfman and Perez) who were the most important DC creators of the 1980s! But that's entertainment -- they remember what you last did for them but forget how you saved the company!

Haven't you noticed all the latest films have picked on stories that are at the most maybe 10-12 years old? This is from a different group of creators -- mostly buddies of the current editorial regime or editorially driven stories that amount to mush in many cases. At least we got DC: Final Frontier and a GOOD GL story (Emerald Knights anthology) before the door closed on anything but Batman and Superman stories from the shlock era.

(Dark Knight's overrated; half-good but the ending half was really tacked on. DC shoulda thought longer and harder before hiring Miller to do DK2!)

There's a lot of stuff from the Silver Age of DC I would love to see adapted that would just be funner and much more exciting instead of another morose Batman story or Superman story that I've never heard of or cared to read. There are tons of really good Justice League stories that could be adapted. The Flash of Two Worlds hasn't been done by anyone yet let alone any of the better JLA/JSA team-ups!

The last bone tossed to older fans really was Batman: The Brave and the Bold - the TV series. There were so many homages and tosses to classic storylines and characters that it's impossible to list them all here. (It was also apparently too smart for its own good. After the first season, Cartoon Network pretty much stopped commercial support for the show and fans had to look online half the time to see when shows aired and which new/repeats were being shown!) It was done with so much respect and love that is missing from the monthly DC Comics. It really was the last good-bye to an era before the 1990s when everything became dark and gritty and every character seemed to be either killed (for real) or altered with little reason other than it could be done! B&B is probably the last time we'll get to see the original Justice Society, The first Flash with his Mercury helmet, the Doom Patrol, and so forth before they were tinkered with to death and turned into soulless clones that have very little to do with the heroic characters they were.

DC editorial has gone into a mode that ignores virtually everything before Flashpoint (one of the most pitiful POS DC has released) and are taking out all the kooky wonderful things and characters that made DC special.

It's a shame that speculators and DC Dorks continue to eat this shit up... It's not going to be healthy for DC publishing in the long run and has spelled the end for a lot of long-time readers including me. It's a jumping off point for many of us that are just tired of being led in circles and lied to.

I was sick of a lot of DC's nonsense by the Darkest Day crossover event (I haven't bought crossovers in over 10 years out of principle that they generally suck; a conclusion borne out 95% of the time!) but Flashpoint was just too much. If I buy anything more from DC OR Marvel, it'll be hardcover reprints and trades of stories before the mess the current editorial regimes created.

From what I've seen of the recent Teen Titans comics, they're nothing like the kiddy cartoon on Cartoon Network. Actual violence and sex and what not. Seems comics are always targeting the older people rather than the younger cartoon demographic.

Naw, the comics were always like that, pretty much.

During Marv Wolfman's run, Terra chainsmoked and had a sexual relationship with Slade/Deathstroke.

This was way back in the 80s

Yup.

as for voice-work, he is the voice of The Flash (both the funny Wally West in JL/JLU and the mature Barry Allen in JL:Doom).

fwiw...

Whoa. It feels weird seeing Michael Rosenbaum with hair after knowing him as Lex Luthor in Smallville.
