Justice League Stars Celebrate 15th Anniversary

The Justice League may be coming together in live-action for the first in 2017's Justice League movie, but that will hardly be the first time fans have seen DC Comics' greatest hero team jump off the comics page and come to life.

With one year left until the Justice League movie hits theaters, Nov. 17, 2016, marked the 15th anniversary of the premiere of Justice League the animated series. Building on the success of Batman: The Animated Series and expanding on the shared universe begun with Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League brought together the DC Animated Universe' sown "big seven" Justice League team – Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Flash (Wally West), Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl.

The members of Justice League's all-star voice cast took to Twitter to mark the special occasion. Kevin Conroy, the actor who began voicing Batman in Batman: The Animated Series and still lends his voice to the character today, remarked on the camaraderie between himself and the other Justice League cast members.

Justice League's Superman voice actor, George Newbern, retweeted Conroy's tweet with a firm thumbs up.

Susan Eisenberg, who voiced Wonder Woman in Justice League and currently continues in that role in the DC Universe Online video game, thanked fans and everyone involved with the show for their support.

Green Lantern voice actor Phil LaMarr paid homage to Justice League co-creator and producer Bruce Timm with some reworked lyrics from the Beatles' song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Michael Rosenbaum, who voiced the Flash (fans may also recognize him as Lex Luthor on Smallville), tweeted his appreciation, noting how much he enjoyed working with the Justice League cast.

Justice League's Hawkgirl voice actress, Maria Canals-Barrera, retweeted the celebratory tweets of several Justice League fans. Carly Lumbly, who voiced Martian Manhunter, did not note the anniversary. Lumbly is an infrequent Twitter user at best, his most recent tweet is from July, so fans probably shouldn't take it personally.
