Hell No.
Lobo was put to shame in the cartoon. He deserves a dark and gritty voice.
But Tim Daly is good.
I would definitely approve the DC Cartoon VAs to the the voicework for the characters ingame; however, I think that's unlikely. Most of the recent DC game or cartoon projects haven't featured those voices. With the exception of Gotham Night which had Kevin Conroy (and only him) reprising his role, the other recent games and films (JL Heroes, the New Frontier, and Superman: Doomsday) have all had new VAs. I wouldn't be suprised if Ron Perlman shows up, since apparently every DC project requiring voice acting hires him sooner or later (Clayface, Slade Wilson, Jax Ur, Orion, and Killer Croc).
I do love the fact that everyone is getting their own VA this time. It was really annoying how everybody seemed to share a group of three or four voices.

Personally, I'm hoping to high heaven Ron Perlman plays SOMEONE in the game. I really don't care who. Hell, he even played Batman himself in Justice League Heroes, so there's really no reason why he shouldn't be here outside of schedule limitations.
I'd like nothing more than hear Kevin Conroy speak in his Bat-voice once more,but let's face it,Midway probably can't afford to hire him or any of the other high-profile DCAU VAs.
Replacements are definitely possible,though.
I mean,as fail as The Batman was 75% of the time,Rino Romano made a pretty decent Bats. His playboy Bruce voice was pretty spot-on,and his Goddamn Batman voice became much better in season 2 and onwards,since he could now afford to sound all gruff and menacing,because it was now contrasted by the other members of the Bat-family and the JCAfags. Mind you,he's no Kevin motherfucking Conroy,but I though he did a damn good job.
I also managed to catch JLA:The New Frontier a couple weeks ago. I would have never expected to hear Jeremy Sisto (!) as the Goddamn Batman,but there he was. And he did pretty damn well. Of course,you have to consider that he was voicing a 60s Batman,but still,not bad.

If Lobo is in I'd like to see either the guy who did Spawn's voice in the animated series or the guy who did Kratos' voice in God of War
I think Stephen Jay Blum would be a good Hal Jordan for some reason. Maybe it's just because he seems to be in every goddamn videogame. Jennifer Hale would be good as Wonder Woman; she can sound pretty regal (Bastila in KOTOR), and she also is in everything ever. And I know this is a fucking longshot from hell and back, but if Dave Hayter voiced Batman...

I just want REAL voice actors in this game. The MK teams VOs in MKD and MKA were terrible.
Using non-DCAU voice actors:
Matt McKenzie as Bruce Wayne
Auron, need I say more?
Crispin Freeman as Clark Kent
He's got a great prototypical hero voice.
Quinton Flynn as Wally West
He's already played two red heads with joking, sarcastic personalities, why not add one more?
Sally Cahill as Selina Kyle
I liked Ada Wong's voice, and think a similar one would fit Selina Kyle.
Michael McConnohie as Captain Marvel (I didn't say Billy Batson since he'd require a different voice.)
The reason I chose him is because of the voice he did for Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth, in Disgaea. Captain Marvel always seemed like the type who would speak in an overly heroic voice, what with being kid passing himself off as an adult hero.
TBA as Hal Jordan
TBA as The Joker

I just hope they go get whoever is necessary to make them sound at least close to correct. Don't let say, Carlos do all the males like has happened in the past. We need them to get really specific.
Actually, with a few exceptions on the MK side of things Carlos Pesina is pretty much the voice of MK males.
1. Scorpion: Ed Boon needs to do all of Scorpions stuff. Mainip his voice.
2. Sub-Zero: Have Pesina do all of Sub-Zero's stuff. Slight manip his voice.
3. Jax: Someone new. Go get an actual black dude with a deep voice to do Jax. Slight manip his voice. Michael Jai White wouldn't be a bad choice for his voice, or as an actor on the big screen.
4. Shang Tsung: Someone new. See what Bruce Locke is doing since this Shang still kinda looks like that guy. Slightly manip his voice.
5. Liu Kang: Just get like he sounded in MK2. I'd probably have someone different though. Cuz I think that was also Carlos back then.
6. Kitana: Someone who sounds similar to Talisa Soto.
7. Sonya: Whoever the lead female voice in MK games are, should do Sonya. She's the voice of the MK females. MK3-T female voice. Whoever that was needs to only be Sonya from here on out.
and if Raiden gets confirmed for this game...
8. Raiden: Someone who sounds like the movie Raiden, do Raidens stuff. Go see if Jeff Meeks is doing anything. I think he was Raiden in a previous MK game already. MKSM I think it was.
I don't know the DC characters voice actors by name, but I know when they don't sound right. As of right now the Jokers laugh is better than when we first heard it in the MKast #4. They changed something(or let us preview a different sample) in this latest MKast #5. The first one was terrible, the second one sounds alright.
======
Point overall here is yea, everyone is going to have a manipulated voice in the end. But less of it is necessary now.
Also note, that again yea, with todays technologies, you can pretty much make anyone sound like anything. I just think it'd be better invested if they just went ahead and got the people who naturally sound right.
You start heavily manipulating a persons natural voice and that's when it starts to get farther and farther away from how convincing things are supposed to sound. And that's even considering the fantasy element in the game.
Natural voices + small technological enhancements is the way to go.

If you're talking about the animated series Spawn,it's Keith David. He also voiced Goliath from Gargoyles,among other things. One of the absolute best actors in the business.
Can't recall him ever voicing any games,though.

Freeman generally sounds a bit... I dunno,wily and mildly threatening,for lack of a better description. I mean,listen to his Alucard. If he tries really hard,he can occasionally pull off a bit lighthearted and goofy (lol Cougar),but that's not exactly it. I don't think he'd make a good Supes,but hey,feel free to prove me wrong.

McConnohie? As an overly heroic goody two-shoes boyscout? Hell no,man.
When I think McConnohie,the first thing that springs to my mind is Big O's Schwarzwald:

Listen to it. Deep,gruff,menacing baritone. I honestly have trouble thinking of any roles of his that aren't villains or anti-heroes. Captain Marvel is just...no.
Cap's JLU voice voice was pretty much spot on,though.

I'm thinking along the lines of a softened Regal from Tales of Symphonia when I suggest Freeman for Supes. As for McConnohie, play the first Disgaea or watch some scenes of Captain Gordon, defender of Earth, you'll see what I mean. Actually, the first person that came to mind for the Big Red Cheese was Cam Clarke (a voice somewhat combining his Simba with his Kratos would be perfect).

Now this is closer to what I was thinking. I haven't really heard Clarke as Simba or Kratos (wait,he's Kratos? FUCK YEAH),but I'm pretty sure he did Leonardo back in the day. That might work. A bit less extreme teenage ninja rebel,and we got a winner.
In b4 IT'S BEEN A WHILE,BROTHER
He's not the Kratos you're thinking of (Pronounced Kraytos). He's the voice for the character from tales of Symphonia that is named Kratos (Pronounced Krahtos).
Kratos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1FR47gaG1E
Simba: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqeZ8WH3S6Y&feature;=related (At least I think he talks in this video, I don't know for sure as I am using a 56k connection and can't watch it).
Anyways, what do you think of the rest of my list?

I can definitely see Quinton Flynn as the Flash.
As for Sally Cahill, I wasn't much of a fan of Ada's voice. I'd prefer Jen Taylor (Cortana/Cate Archer), or Kim Guest (Mei Ling/Isabella from Dead Rising). Just personal preference really.
And to keep up the random MGS quotes
"I can't believe I'm being hit on by the famous Solid Snake..."
