January 29, 2001: JLA: The Animated Series - No Tim Daly

According to World's Finest News, a source inside WB reports that Kevin Conroy is back as Batman, while a new unnamed voice actor will be doing Superman, because Tim Daly is busy with his CBS show 'The Fugitive'. The show will probably, though it's too early to tell, consist of big story arcs, lasting 2-3 episodes. There will be huge, intense, action, as well as indepth characterization. The voice actors have just finished recording their second episode. Stan Berkowitz and Rich Fogel have written episodes so far, but since production has just begun, it's too early to tell who else will be joining the fray. The show will air this September/October on the Cartoon Network action block called Toonami.

It is reported that the up-coming Writers strike shouldn't effect the show, but there's a chance the Actors strike will.

One current story that is being written for JLA revolves around Green Lantern John Stewart, which is based on an old Hal Jordon story about him being accused of a crime he didn't commit , which leads to chaos. This whole series will be action oriented, but will have alot of characterization because of the story arc length. Majority of the episodes will likely be multi-part episodes. Censorship should not be heavy because of the different age focus. There will be various celebrity voices, including James Remar.
