Superman - Superman
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Superman with sound clips and images.
He was an alien that was sent to Earth by his parents before Krypton was destroyed. His Kryptonian name is Kal-El and his adopted human name is Clark Kent. To the world he is Superman, The Last Son of Krypton, The Man of Steel, The Man of Tomorrow but his alter-ego is Clark Kent; a journalist for the Daily Planet.
Raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville, Clark was taught the difference between right and wrong from a young age and grew up with strong values and morals.
Under a yellow sun Clark developed abilities that would continue to grow as he matured. Superman is one of the World's greatest super heroes and with his various abilities it's not hard to see why.
Some of Superman's powers include: Flight, Super Strength, Super Speed, Invulnerability, Heat Vision, X-Ray Vision, Freeze Breath, and Super Hearing. Superman is one of the most powerful super heroes of all time but he does have some weaknesses like any hero does.
Some of these weaknesses are: kryptonite (radioactive remains of Krypton), magic, extreme amounts of force/impact from even more powerful beings than himself and if exposed to a red sun he will lose all Kryptonian powers.

mike said at 8:49 AM on Wed Apr 1 2009The thing about Yuri, at least from that particular clip, his Superman was more of a Superboy. I'd have to double check my Legion DVDs but I don't think Superman's 18 yet.
thomas said at 7:43 PM on Wed Apr 1 2009And as for Crispin Freeman, well... Crispin makes superman sound like one of those characters you'd here on Kingdom Hearts or Halo Wars or Whatever.
satam55 said at 12:25 AM on Sun Apr 5 2009LOL at Kyle MacLachlan A.K.A. Orson Hodge from Desperate Housewives, playing Superman in Justice League The New Frontier Movie. He sucks at it.
satam55 said at 5:38 PM on Sun Apr 5 2009#1 Tim Daly
#2 George Newbern
thomas said at 6:01 PM on Sun Apr 5 2009#2 George Newbern
Exactly. And as for those two well, Im just used to Tim and George the most.
thomas said at 7:06 PM on Sun Apr 5 2009Wait then, Why is Yuri Lowenthal here? In Technical terms he voices a different Character.
foxwolf said at 8:55 PM on Sun Apr 5 2009well, unlike wen i added Will Friedle to Batman, Yuri's Superman is still Clark Kent, albeit the youngest one of the bunch :P

dtemplar said at 9:18 PM on Wed Apr 22 2009You forgot to add:
Bud Collyer (Fleischer Superman, 60s Superman)
Danny Dark (Superfriends)
Beau Weaver (Ruby-Spears Superman)
oy said at 11:44 PM on Wed May 6 2009Bud Collyer (Fleischer Superman, 60s Superman)

Even though George Newborn is already there...he did also voice Superman in The Batman.

George Newborn
Tim Daly
Adam Baldwin
jimd said at 4:55 PM on Tue May 26 2009George Newborn
Tim Daly

Tim Daley did the best voice over as Supes just as Kevin Conroy did for the Dark knight.
jeremy said at 3:02 AM on Wed May 27 2009forgot brandon routh who do the voice in the superman returns game and michael dangerfield from krypto the superdog series.
ggjjgjg said at 12:46 PM on Wed Jun 24 2009Hmm, the Legion Superman is practically Superboy; he should be compared with other Superboys. Same problem with the Robins - they're not all the same age, regardless of identity (Grayson or Drake).
optimussolo said at 4:01 PM on Sun Jun 28 2009Glad you stopped by Chris let us know if we can do anything to make the site better!
optimussolo said at 4:06 PM on Sun Jun 28 2009that daly clip has too much luthor and not enough daly...
voicemaster71 said at 4:35 PM on Thu Jul 23 2009While George Newbern is a good contender for the best Superman voice over, I have to go with Tim Daly. He is my ultimate favorite.
I agree with Dtemplar. Bud Collyer was the definitive Superman voice during the Golden and Silver Ages of Superman in the media. And my sentimental favorite is Danny Dark from the SuperFriends and yes, even Beau Weaver deserves to be included.

Needs more Bud Collyer. Seriously.
dtemplar said at 3:38 PM on Thu Aug 6 2009preferably with him saying:
"This is a job... For SUPERMAN."

beau weaver and brandon routh now added :)
jackson said at 12:41 PM on Wed Nov 11 2009ALL SUPERMAN VA NOW ADDED!
Just added Michael Daingerfield Hall and Bud Collyer.
Now we just wait until Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths for a new one. :)

Awesome! nice job
tfg1mike said at 7:28 AM on Sat Nov 28 2009the JL Crisis On Two Earths movie voice will be Mark Harmon of NCIS.
I never got the change from Daly to Newbern so I think of the,m both as the #1 superman animated voice.
jackson said at 12:18 PM on Sat Nov 28 2009I never got the change from Daly to Newbern so I think of the,m both as the #1 superman animated voice.
I think Daly was suppose to reprise his role for Justice League/Justice League Unlimited but also had the chance to star in a TV series (Private Practice - spinoff of Grey's Anatomy). He would get more $ and overall better exposure for his career so he took it. Then George Newbern auditioned and got the role for Superman.
foxwolf said at 4:37 PM on Sun Nov 29 2009actually, Daly starred in the lead role of short lived "The Fugitive" series, based off the Harrison Ford movie.
tfg1mike said at 4:06 AM on Sun Dec 20 2009Yeah I remember the fugiive TV series Daly also starred opposite his mother Tyne Daly in Jusging Amy on CBS ... honestly like I said for the DCAU Superman voices Daly and Newbern are best ever. Adam Baldwin was a joke in Superman Doomsday. then again if I had huge cracks in my face I'd be funny. (Superman Doomsday model)
jackson said at 5:34 PM on Mon Feb 22 2010Jeff Kramer now added!
jonhardwick said at 4:37 PM on Tue Feb 23 2010tim daily is the best superman bradon routh and george newburn are at a close second
fluxgate said at 8:23 PM on Sun Jul 11 2010Satam55, Kyle MacLachlin's been in amazing productions such as Dune, Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet for David Lynch. He's a good actor and it was sad to see him have to do that piece of crap Desperate Housewives so I'm delighted such a fine (and unknown amongst idiots who only know him from Desperate Housewives) actor got a shot at Superman and I thought his voice was great for it.
