believe Patton Oswald is voicing him, which should work.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Looks a little less serious than the other Justice League series that I used to watch. Not sure I like it when they do that but I will watch and see. I know their main audience is kids .. but we all know that's not true really

Yeah, the previous cartoon justice league was NOT for kids. Kids could enjoy it, but...when you have jokes flying around like Flash bragging about being the fastest man alive, and Wonder Woman deadpanning in with "oh, so that's why you can't keep a girlfriend"....I mean, wow. Heh. Some of the sexual jokes that got thrown around definitely made me appreciate watching it as an adult so I could catch them and have a good laugh.
That SOUNDED kinda like Hamill as Joker, but I thought his final hurrah was Killing Joke. I know the dude who plays Joker in The Batman was able to mimic Hamill's Joker fairly well, is he the one playing the part? Also sounds like Conroy's Batman.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

According to IMDB, it's' John DiMaggio's Joker, he was very good in Under The Red Hood so I've no problem with that. Conroy Bats, Tara Strong Harley as well. Weirdly, Hamill is on the cast list, but as Alec Holland, whoever he is!
This does look worth a go, do we know who's showing it in the UK yet?

The one episode with a cast list on IMDB also features Booster Gold, Zatanna and Green Lantern alongside Batman and Swamp Thing... that's an unorthodox teamup, to say the least!
I'm a little wary due to the "Action" part of the name, it for me evoking the same kind of mediocrity as the portion of "Go!" is for the Teen Titans Go! show.
I'll give it a shot since it's the justice league, but I'm hoping it's just a sign of it being closer to Batman The Brave and the Bold as another poster mentioned.

Agreed on the Teen Titans-looking approach.
I know it's super heroes and they're the province of the young but that bizarre (to me) giant head, surreal thing very other scene animation, isn't my style.
To be fair, the animation here is a lot more natural than Titans Go, I think, proportions are accentuated, but no more than the old Batman or JL animated series.
From what I've read around, the 'Action' part is in reference to the fact that this series won't be bothered with a ton of exposition or overriding plot threads, each episode will simply present a situation, the JL will resolve it, on with the next one. While I do love a good arc in this type of thing, like Young Justice had for instance, I think the idea here is to make it easy to dip in and out.

Can't believe I missed that; that was my favorite Batman animated movie so far!! I'm not even 100% sure I want Killing Joke to take its place at the top of the pile, since UtRH was basically perfect.

The synopsis for the pilot episode of “Justice League Action” reads:
In “Shazam Slam,” the villainous Black Adam battles Batman on the Rock of Eternity and unleashes a horde of Djinn determined to turn the Earth back to its pre-human, volcanic state. Affected by the otherworldly powers of these primordial monsters, Batman becomes possessed and is turned into a giant flying Batmonster laying waste to the Hall of Justice, with only Superman capable of taking the fight to the Dark Knight. One by one, the Justice League – with the help of Shazam (voiced by Sean Astin) and The Wizard (voiced by Carl Reiner) – must hunt down and defeat each Djinn in order to yet again save the world from destruction.

Not so weird. Hamill is on record saying Killing Joke would be his last turn as the Joker. That voice, wonderful as it is, just thrashes his throat. He'd already quit doing Mr. J, but had always said he'd come back just to do KJ.
Sky put a couple of episodes up early on their app, gave one a quick watch (they're only 10 mins each) and basically, it's just fun. Style aside the animation is very slick, the writing is funny without being absurd, voice performances are all pretty good (not sure on their version of Martian Manhunter, though) and the pace is as advertised, just a brief setup, a good 8 minutes of punching stuff and a little wrap-up at the end.
It's not of the same calibre as JLTAS/JLU/Young Justice, but it's good fun for what it is.
