Worried about whether you'll see Justice League in widescreen format or full frame? Cartoon Network has something that should ease your pain. According to the network, they will air Justice League in both widescreen and full frame formats. The pilot movie will be widescreen only, with a ratio of 1.85:1. The remaining episodes will be a mix of both. The show will air in the fullscreen format on Mondays and Fridays. The widescreen version will air on Sundays.
Despite rumor, the network will not be "placing" black bars to give the widescreen effect. Each episode, like Batman Beyond is storyboarded in widescreen format. Thus, the the full screen versions will be "cutting out" some of the images when aired. The widescreen format will show everything. Here's a run down:
<li>Mondays at 9:30pm - full frame (1.33:1)
<li>Fridays at 7:30pm - full frame (1.33:1)
<li>Sundays at 8:30pm - widescreen (1.85:1)

Also, the <a href="http://www.***************.com">Comics Continuum</a> has additional information on voice work for the series:
<li>Celebrity guest-voices in the first season will include Virginia Madsen as Dr. Corwin, Danica McKellar as Sapphire, Garrett Morris as Al McGee, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Cheetah, Tom Sizemore as Metamorpho and Lane Smith as Simon Stagg. Smith played Perry White in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
<li>Snapper Carr appears in the three-part opener as a television reporter. In the comic books, he was the team "sidekick".
<li>Eisenberg, the voice of Wonder Woman, has also done voice work for Jackie Chan Adventures, Max Steel, Extreme Ghostbusters and Life with Louie.
