NEWS - Batman: Year One Voice Cast Revealed
Reported by Michael Nguyen at 2:21 AM on Thu Apr 21 2011
Batman: Year One is a straight adaption of Frank Miller's comic, that tells the story of a young Bruce Wayne as he starts out as Batman and also explores the initial relationship between Batman and Lieutenant James Gordan.
The main voice cast will be:
Batman / Bruce Wayne: Ben McKenzie (Southland)
Lieutenant James Gordon: Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Catwoman: Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse)
Detective Sara Essen: Katee Sackoff
Carmine Falcone: Alex Rocco
Cranston talks about how he initially turned down the role, not even bothering to look at the script, due to his lack of knowledge of animation, and how surprised he was at the quality level of storytelling.
DC animation veteran and executive producer Bruce-Timm says that the movie is a straight up adaption, where about 90% of the movie is right out of the comic, including dialogue.
Batman: Year One will be released late summer/early fall and will premiere at San Diego Comic Con in July.

In fact, I believe the next DCAU movie we're getting is Justice League: Doom (the story where Batman betrays the League), and the one after that is Frank Miller's famous Dark Knight Returns.
