Best VOCAL performances in comic book movies?

[Chris Wallace]

Here we're talking strictly their voices, nothing else.

 

[The Joker]

Ian McKellan as Magneto.

He has such a suave and commanding voice. It really helps when he's delivering his slick lines.

 

[Max J Power]

Hugo Weaving
Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellan
Mickey Rourke
Clive Owen
Bruce Willis
Christian Bale
Willem Dafoe

 

[Chris Wallace]

Hugo Weaving
Kelsey Grammer
Michael Keaton
Willem Dafoe
Christopher Reeve
Ian Mckellan
Patrick Stewart

 

[CConn]

Do animated movies count?

 

[Chris Wallace]

Why Not? They have good & bad voices like any other.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Michael Chiklis
Michael Clarke Duncan
Rosemary Harris
Cliff Robertson
Liam Neeson
Cillian Murphy (particularly in the asylum)

 

[Chris Wallace]

And pretty much everybody in Sin City, especially Mickey Rourke.

 

[Kable24]

Ian McKellan - Magneto
Patrick Stewart - Prof. X
Tom Jane - The Punisher (I now think of his voice whenever I read the Punisher)
Hugo Weaving - V
Kelsey Grammer - Beast
Keith David - Spawn

 

[CConn]

Why Not? They have good & bad voices like any other.

In that case...

Kevin Conroy - Batman
Mark Hamill - Joker
Hugo Weaving - V
Mickey Rourke - Marv
Willem Dafoe - Green Goblin
Abe Vigoda - Sal Valestra
Stacy Keach - Voice of The Phantasm

 

[Flexo]

Ron Perlman.

 

[co2]

Lot's of good choices, but Hugo Weaving as V just can't be topped

 

[Chris Wallace]

That's partly because it was all he had. Take away an actor's face & see how hard he has to work.

 

[Chris Wallace]

And while we're giving animated voices their due, I loved everybody in Ultimate Avengers 1 & 2.

 

[Parker]

James Earl Jones. Darth Vader? HELLO?!

 

[Chris Wallace]

Star Wars isn't a comic book movie. Hello?

 

[Kable24]

I can't believe I'm the only one who gave credit to Keith David. That guy was Spawn man!!!

 

[Spider-Fan]

Easily Mark Hamill as the Joker. No other vocal performance is even close.

 

[Parker]

Star Wars isn't a comic book movie. Hello?

There are Star Wars comic books published by Dark Horse. Close enough.

 

[Chris Wallace]

No. Because lots of movies have inspired comic book titles & I don't want this thread cluttered with them. The move must be based on a comic & not the other way around.

 

[Parker]

Fine, how about James Earl Jones for the Snake King in Conan the Barbarian? I'm pretty sure Robert E. Howard featured illustrations in his Conan books. In fact, I think his books were a precursor to comics.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'm not trying to be uptight; I just don't want a bunch of posts for T2, Dragonheart, Street Fighter or anything else that just happened to spawn a comic at some point.

 

[3dman27]

Michael Chiklis

ah yes as the ever loving blue eyed thing his voice was perfect

 

[Chris Wallace]

Easily Mark Hamill as the Joker. No other vocal performance is even close.

Kevin Conroy's is.

 

[Chris Wallace]

In that case...

Kevin Conroy - Batman
Mark Hamill - Joker
Hugo Weaving - V
Mickey Rourke - Marv
Willem Dafoe - Green Goblin
Abe Vigoda - Sal Valestra
Stacy Keach - Voice of The Phantasm

Stacey Keach? As in Papa Titus? Mike Hammer?
