I worked with him briefly on a movie that filmed in town, and despite his gruff demeanour, he's actually a pretty nice guy (providing you don't do anything to tick him off, ha ha)

He's my favourite Darkseid and makes for a solid Ultra Magnus.

Happy Birthday Michael Ironside!

My top 5 favourite roles from him are:

1.) Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell)
2.) Darkseid (Superman: The Animated Series)
3.) Ultra Magnus (Transformers: Prime)
4.) Emperor Zanmoran (TMNT)
5.) Batman 80's (The New Batman Adventures)

Seriously I wish he'd get another shot as Batman or return as Darkseid. Or even just get a new role with DC or Marvel.

Overall he's a really great solid and underrated actor and VA.

Recently heard him as Darkseid for the first time, & I sort of thought he'd do a good Snake (after hearing his voice unaltered). Then I come here & see he played Sam Fisher...nice.

Happy birthday, Michael Ironside. I loved his work across the DCAU, between Batman & Darkseid. Wonderful Splinter Cell. It's also interesting that he voiced essentially the American counterpart to Solid Snake, & has a pretty similar natural voice to Snake's VA (his domestic one I mean).

I really want to hear him voice DKR Batman again.

He was awesome and got too little screen time.

Happy Birthday Michael Ironside.

One of the most bad@$$ voices ever which is perfect for Darkseid, Ultra Magnus and Sam Fisher.

It was interesting to hear him voice Emperor Zanmoran in TMNT, it's a nice change of pace for Ironside as he's more of a pompous dictator than his usual badass military esque type of roles.

He also did make for a good Dark Knight Returns Batman too and seeing him play Captain Cold's father on The Flash was rather cool.

Happy Birthday Michael Ironside!

Happy Birthday. I really hope DC gets him to play Darkseid at least one more time in the near future.
