    Brian Bloom: Captain America
    Edward Albert: Daredevil
    Steve Blum: Wolverine
    Kevin Conroy: Batman

        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!"

              Robert Ridgely's probably my favorite. He was Tarzan, Flash Gordon, Thunderbolt Ross, Kraven the Hunter, Ka-Zar, and Thundarr the Barbarian.

                  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.

                    Petter Cullen } Prime
                    Kevin Conroy } Batman
                    Mark Hamill } Joker

                    Those 3 are the Best ..., But Sgt Slaughter, as Sgt. Slaughter on The Old RAH Toon was great.
                    ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

                      Kevin Conroy as Batman

                      Clancy Brown as Luthor

                      Michael Rosenbaum as Wally west Flash

                      Worst was whoever did Green Lantern's voice on the Super Friends

                        ^No. Kevin Smith doing Hal Jordan's voice is worst.

                          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 .

                            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.!
