The Robot Chicken gang is entering the superhero world.
Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are teaming with DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation for a one-time special taking place within the universe that features the likes of Superman, Batman and Lois Lane.
Set to air in the fall on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, the voice cast includes Green as Batman, Robin and Aquaman; Paul Reubens as the Riddler; Neil Patrick Harris as Two-Face, Alfred Molina as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern; Megan Fox as Lois Lane; and Breckin Meyer as Superman. Additional voice cast includes Abe Benrubi, Alex Borstein, Clare Grant, Tara Strong, Senreich, Tom Root and Zeb Wells.
"Working with Seth and Matthew and the rest of theRobot Chickencrew has always been nothing short of insanity over the years. DC, Warner Bros. Animation and Adult Swim together? How could anyone resist?" DC Entertainment chief creative officer Geoff Johns said.
The Robot Chicken DC Comics Special becomes the latest effort for the Emmy-winning series to skewer another universe and follows the series' popular Star Wars installments.
"Having been raised on DC Comics and the Super Friends vs. Legion of Doom, it's exciting to tell a whole Robot Chicken story within this awesome universe," Green said in a statement announcing the news.
Added Senreich: "We've been working with Johns for over 15 years, so playing together on this special only made it more fun to work in the worlds we all love so dearly."
The special comes shortly after Green and Senreich's Stoopid Monkey and Buddy Systems united in December to form Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
UTA brokered the deal.
