Cullen is awesome, but I don't consider Transformers a Super Hero show, so I'm going to bypass that and GI Joe and just stick to comic adaptations:
5. Paul Soles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man (60s series). I still hear his voice in my head when I ready Spidey. When I used to read Spidey stories to my son, I mimiced his voice.
4. Arthur Pierce as Captain America (Marvel Super Heroes, 60s). He had the perfect heroic voice. It was stoic, but vulnerable.
3. Casey Kasem as Robin. Out of all the Super Friends, it was his voice that I think best suited the character.
2. Frank Welker as Darkseid (Super Friends/Super Powers). I liked Michael Ironside's take, but Welker's still sounds more correct to me.
1. Kevin Conroy as Batman. Honestly, this list could have consisted of nothing BUT BTAS actors, but I chose Conroy to represent them, the best animated cast ever assembled.
Three instantly come to mind without thinking hard about it.
Kevin Conroy is Batman, period.
Tim Daly is Superman without doubt.
I'd have to also include Peter Cullen, but I never really watched Transformers. A bunch of us comic exhibitors from the Motro City Con went out to a Chinese buffet after the Saturday show and he joined us. We forced him to recite the menu in Optimus' voice. He was cool about it, really nice guy. He looked like a mix of Burt Reynolds and Timothy Dalton.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
Danny Dark as Superman: To this today that is the voice I hear when I read Superman in the comics.
Dan Gilvezan asSpider-Man
Kevin Conroy as Batman: Nailed it, not much else to say there
Stanley Jones as Lex Luthor: Just engrained in my head. Years later he did Doc Ock on I think both the Spidey and Hulk cartoons and it was so wrong, that voice was Luthor and no one else!
Chris Latta as Cobra Commander: "Absolutetly Intolerable!"
Honorable mentions go to Casey Kasem as Robin, Dennis Marks as the Green Goblin (only one episode of Amazing Friends but I though the voice was perfect), Cathy Garver as Firestar, Shannon Farnon as Wonder Woman and last but but not least Vic Perrin as Sinestro: "You Green Fool!"
Let's see,I've got four more to pick.
I'm going with John DiMaggio as Aquaman.
John De Lancie as Sinestro.(Come on,you know he did a cool version on Duck Dodgers.)
Rene Auberjonois as Desaad(Heck,Bruce Timm brought him back for JLU)
Need to think of a fifth.
You know Man ..., I shoulda mentioned this . I agree.
When I read a Book these Days ..., and Luthor is in it ..., I do read His Lines as if Clancy's Voice Used them .
... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.
I love BAS and Kevin Conroy but Olan Soule is the voice of batman in my head probably because he was the voice of the 60's Filmation Show, a decade of superfriends, and the Scooby doo crossovers. all of which were large in my chidlhood. Batman has been blessed with 3 truly distinctive voices for Animation with Adam west, Olan and Kevin.
Superman is Budd Collyer all the way
Casey Casem for Robin (animated robin from 67-84 in Filmation, and superfriends
Paul Soles for spiderman - the sunbow casting may have done more animation because of spiderfriends but his voice is the one i hear in my head to this day
Tough to choose just 5, but in no particular order:
Alan Oppenheimer: Ming, Skeletor
Robert Ridgely: Thundarr, Flash, Tarzan
Paul Soles: Spider-Man (60s)
Keye Luke: Zoltar
Larry Kenney: Lion-O
Plus all these, and many more, from the cartoons of my childhood: John Erwin, Melendy Britt, Linda Gary, Jane Webb, Bud Collyer, Olan Soule, George DiCenzo, Peter Cullen, etc.!
