10 Actors Who Appeared In Star Trek AND Batman: The Animated Series
Wouldn't a mash-up of the theme tunes be great? To Boldly Go - where no Bat has gone before!
If, like me, you were a child growing up in the '90s, then you were lucky. The calibre of Saturday morning cartoons was on par with the '80s, with neither having been equalled since. Amid this golden era of cartoon programming came what is still arguably the best iteration of a certain Dark Knight - Batman: The Animated Series.
The series debuted in September 1992, capitalising on the then-showing Batman Returns; it met with enormous acclaim from new and old fans. It spawned several spin-off films, with Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm receiving a theatrical release.
Many Star Trek alum lent their voices to the production, from its earliest days to its final seasons. Batman: The Animated Series, as well as a certain other animated show that will be explored on another list, provided a fresh stomping ground for many of Trek's most recognisable names and even more recognisable voices in the '90s.
How many of these names made you suddenly go - 'Oh! That's who that was!'
10. Brock Peters - Lucius Fox
For Star Trek fans, Brock Peters needs little introduction. He first appeared in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home as Admiral Cartwright, the (then) upstanding Starfleet commander. His return in the sixth film flipped the script on his (b)admiral, though he stole hearts as Joseph Sisko in Deep Space Nine.
In Batman, he voiced Lucius Fox, then CEO of Wayne Enterprises. Though fans more familiar with Christopher Nolan's trilogy may assume Fox was always aware of Bruce Wayne's double life, Peters' version didn't present any certain knowledge of what his employer gets up to at night.
Peters' brought a gravitas to the role, appearing in eight episodes of the show.
