When the news broke that Warner Bros. Animation was developing a three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, the response from fans was largely positive.
While the Tomorrowverse hasn't been perfect, it has given us a lot of very good movies and the prospect of mixing DC characters from that world with so many other animated franchises was undeniably exciting.
Unfortunately, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One and Part Two proved to be largely underwhelming, with the only noteworthy cameo being Batman Beyond in the second instalment. As exciting as that may sound, he had no more than a couple of lines in the movie and failed to make much of an impact.
There may, however, be a chance the final instalment redeems itself.
We've been hearing rumblings for a while about the late Kevin Conroy's final Batman performance being in Part Three instead of the divisive Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game, and both his and Mark Hamill's Joker have been spotted in a newly surfaced teaser.
Hamill has made it clear that he doesn't want to play The Joker without Conroy's Batman, so we're guessing he was convinced to return for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three because it meant he could share the screen with his old friend one final time.
It's previously been reported that the movie will add the following actors to its cast:
- Corey Stoll - Lex Luthor
- Brian Bloom - Adam Strange & Sidewinder
- Elysia Rotaru - Black Canary
- Armen Taylor - Jay Garrick
- Cynthia Kaye McWilliams - Dr. Beth Chapel/Cheetah
- Dean Winters - Captain Storm
- Jason Spisak - Blue Lantern Razer, Hayseed
- Brett Halton - Batlash & Captain Atom
- Ashly Burch - Nightshade, Queen Mera
- Katee Sackhoff - Poison Ivy
Luthor takes on a big role in this sneak peek, so we're now inclined to believe the cast list above is accurate. Batman: The Animated Series fans will rejoice at this reunion and we're hoping the final chapter can make up for what have proved to be mostly uneventful opening chapters.
