10. Isaac C. Singleton Jr./Thanos:
Like I said, I'm not including live-action movies into this, so Josh Brolin as Thanos in the M.C.U doesn't count. I would put him here if I was but for me, the best person to voice Thanos in a cartoon is Isaac C. Singleton Jr. in the Avengers Assemble cartoon. He gives a really creepy and really intimidating voice performance of Thanos that I think is so great and so convincing. And I loved it.
9. Cathal J. Dodd/Wolverine:
At number 9 is the actor who played Wolverine in the original 90's X-Men cartoon. At the time, this was Wolverine and even now, it's still a great voice for Wolverine. It almost kinda seems goofy but it still sounds awesome. And especially for back then, it's incredible in my opinion.
8. Travis Willingham/Thor:
Coming in at number 8 is Travis Willingham as Thor in the Avengers Assemble. Whenever I think of the character of Thor, this is the voice I always imagine him having. I think this is the best voice for him. I absolutely think he is great as this character. And I think it gets really good in the action scenes. This is actually the second actor for an Avengers show on Disney XD the first was Avenger: Earths Mightiest heroes. And every actor was replaced and this is one of the best changes in my opinion.
7. Adrian Pasdar/Iron Man:
While Travis Willingham is great as Thor in the Avengers Assemble show, the best one in my opinion is Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man. Is he better than Robert Downey Jr? No. But I still like this performance as Iron Man too and I think he's the best voice actor in all of the Avengers Assemble show and the best replacement. He manages to do the same thing as Robert Downey Jr. at times and he does a great job as Iron Man.
6. Susan Eisenberg/Wonder Woman:
When it comes to female comic book actresses, in my opinion, Susan Eisenberg is the best as Wonder Woman. In my opinion, she's the best Wonder Woman actress across all versions, if you know what I mean. I think she works off of the other Justice League characters great. She really manages to capture this characters personality and it was a lot of fun to listen to her and the other characters talk. There really isn't much to say except this a great voice for Wonder Woman and the best actress to play her.
5. George Newbern/Superman:
George Newbern is the actor who played Superman in the animated Superman cartoon from the 90's and the animated Justice League show. When it comes to the real portrayal of Superman in animation, this is the best in my opinion. George manages to have a voice for Superman that really fits this character perfectly in my opinion. It all works out great for me and this might be my favourite performance of Superman ever.
4. Steve Blum/Wolverine:
While Cathal J. Dodd is great as Wolverine in the original animated X-Men show, in my opinion, Steve Blum from the Wolverine and the X-Men show is the best Wolverine performance ever. Say what you will, Hugh Jackman is fantastic as Wolverine, but this is my favourite and the best in my opinion. And he has the perfect voice for him as well. He also did the voice for Wolverine in the Deadpool video game and he was great there too. Overall, I think this is the best Wolverine performance ever.
3. Drake Bell/Spider-Man:
I would like to make an honourable mention for the other actors who have voiced Spider-Man before like the actors for the original animated series and the actor for the Spectacular Spider-Man. But in my opinion, Drake Bell is the best Spider-Man when it comes to voice acting. Is he the best ever? No. I'd still give that to Tom Holland. Drake manages to deliver a really funny performance od Spider-Man in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. And it was incredible to see and hear him in the Avengers Assemble show for a few episodes. And seeing him interacting with other Marvel characters, especially Deadpool, was just incredible and so hilarious. I think Drake Bell is a great Spider-Man.
2. Mark Hamill/Joker:
While everyone says Heath Ledger is the best Joker ever, and I do acknowledge that his performance is very good, in my opinion, Mark Hamill is the best Joker ever. He's done the voice for the Joker for a ton if stuff, especially the animated Batman series, the Arkham games and this year's Batman: The Killing Joke. The voice he uses for the Joker is also fantastic. And what he does with this voice, especially when he laughing, is perfect. I honestly think he is incredible as this supervillain. And I do think he is better than every other Joker performance ever. And it was a lot of fun to hear him as the Joker in the Arkham games. I overall think that Mark Hamill is fantastic as the Joker.
And my number 1 favourite comic book character voice actor is... Kevin Conroy/Batman:
Was there any doubt? Kevin Conroy has been the epitome of Batman for over twenty years. Having voiced the Dark Knight for four seasons of the animated series, several straight to video movies, this year's Batman: The Killing Joke, three of the Arkham games, Justice League the animated series, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. His portrayal not only encompasses the perfect voice for Batman, but it also shows the best toned performance of him with only his voice. Yes, others like Christian Bale and Ben Affleck are fantastic as Batman, but none of them are as good as Kevin Conroy. And of course, him and Mark Hamill play off each other brilliantly. And he did an absolutely fantastic job in the three Arkham games he was in. I actually have played three of the Arkham games. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Origins. He didn't do the voice for Batman in Origins but he did do those first two and Arkham Knight, which I'm hoping to get soon. And no matter what your thoughts on this year's the Killing Joke, you can't deny the best part was Kevin Conroy as Batman. And I can't wait to see what he does next for Batman. And so those are my top 10 comic book voice portrayals. Please comment to tell me what yours are and thanks for reading.
