For longtime fans of DC’s animated offerings, one project that many have been hugely looking forward to is the upcoming adaptation of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Hush. And now, we have confirmation on what the voice cast will be for that movie.

We’ve previously heard rumours of who’ll be lending their vocals to the picture, but now it’s been made official by Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment.

To break it down, the confirmed cast reads like:

Jason O’Mara – Bruce Wayne/Batman

Sean Maher – Dick Grayson/Nightwing

Peyton List – Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy

Stuart Allan – Damian Wayne/Robin

James Garrett – Alfred Pennyworth

Jennifer Morrison – Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Bruce Thomas – Commissioner Gordon

Jerry O’Connell – Clark Kent/Superman

Rebecca Romijn – Lois Lane

Rainn Wilson – Lex Luthor

Vanessa Williams – Amanda Waller

Jason Spisak – The Joker

Geoffrey Arend – The Riddler

Adam Gifford – Bane

Dachie Alessio – Lady Shiva

Maury Sterling – Thomas Elliot

Tara Strong – A reporter

For those not familiar with the Hush arc, it’s a twelve-part 2003 story from the beloved pairing of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. A who’s who of Batman, the tale features a ridiculous amount of heroes and villains within its pages and introduces a brand new villain in the form of the mysterious Hush. A rogue who seemingly knows everything there is to know about Batman – including his identity as Bruce Wayne – Hush is forever one step ahead of the Caped Crusader as this story unravels in a truly stunning way. Oh, and then there’s that tease that left readers absolutely shell-shocked!

In terms of modern-day arcs – hell, does 2003 really even count as modern by this point? – Hush is one of the very best, and, in case you hadn’t guessed, your humble scribe counts this as arguably his favourite ever Batman story. Heavy praise indeed, right? So now, let’s just hope the marvellous source material can be successfully translated to a feature film.

To be directed by Justin Copeland, Batman: Hush is set to be released at a to-be-confirmed date later this year.
