Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is very nearly here, and while there's been some controversy surrounding the fact Task Force X is going to, well, kill the Justice League, many DC fans are intrigued to see where this story takes us.
The Rocksteady game will feature Kevin Conroy's final performance as Batman and word recently leaked that Uncharted star Nolan North is going to lend his voice to Superman. He first played the Man of Steel in Young Justice and, based on a clip which has gone viral on X, the actor has been perfectly cast.
Last week, we caught up with North to discuss his roles as Amazo and Green Lantern in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC's Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths.
During our conversation, we asked how it felt to step back into the shoes of the world's most iconic superhero.
"Suicide Squad, I was able to do Superman and Penguin. That’s one of my longtime collaborations with Warner Bros. and Rocksteady. It’s one of my favourites. You know, again, anytime you ask to be Superman, you jump at it."
"I remember when we did Young Justice and I was originally cast as Superboy. The first day we were recording, Greg Weisman came up and said, ‘Hey, you know, we realised Superboy is a clone of Superman and -’ he actually said these words ‘- would you mind playing Superman in the show as well?’ What am I gonna say? ‘No, I don’t wanna do that!’ No."
"Superboy was a youthful, energetic voice and Superman is just…it’s how I sound when I tell my dogs to stop barking. It’s that more formal Clark Kent kind of deal. It’s always great fun to play him."
"There are some really…it all goes back to good writing and there are some really cool scenes in Suicide Squad that were fun to play as Superman. I hope people enjoy that."
Any actor we've spoken to who has played Superman seems similarly blown away that they're getting to lend their voices to the DC Comics icon. In North's case, it's a role he's all too familiar with and it sounds like he relished exploring a new side of the hero in the upcoming video game.
