- You must have a mic with good audio quality. You by no means need anything professional, but it should be good enough that there isn't a bunch of white noise in the background.

If you were cast, be sure to join our discord server here!: https://discord.gg/eycvdhp You by no means have to be active in the server, but it's a good way to get to know the rest of the cast and that's how I'll be sharing important things like the script. Even if you weren't cast, feel free to join the server. Not that there will be other roles made available for this project in the future!

I hope that all of you enjoy this project! -
First Casting Completed
The first bit of casting for the project has just ended! Congrats to everyone who was casted and if you weren't casted, I can promise you that it wasn't because your audition was bad because I enjoyed listening to every single audition. There are several characters who I'm not casting yet because there either weren't very many auditions and I'd like more or I'm still deciding who I want to cast for a character. For the remaining characters, I won't be casting at a set deadline, it will be based entirely on when I make a decision for the characters casting. This casting call will remain open until every single character has been cast and I plan to add several characters who make their first appearances later in the series that will need auditions. Thank you all so much for over a hundred auditions, I hope that you all enjoy this project!
Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Industries, leads a secret double life as Batman, the protector of Gotham City. Though he lacks any superpowers, he's one of the smartest men in the world and an adept fighter. A founding member of the Justice League, his physical prowess and technical skill allow him to hold his own against almost any threat.
(As Batman, determined) Please, Alfred. I'm too close to the answers and we're running out of time. The false energy signatures I left behind won't fool the League for long. I need to protect them. I need to protect everyone.
(As Batman, softer tone, mournful) Just, please. Watch over my family. All of them... and Damian... help him become a better man than I ever was.
(as Bruce Wayne, sincere, struggling to express his gratitude) The war we just fought, it brought my worst fears to life, and you all... When I couldn't see past them... what I'm trying to say is... I just want you to know...
(as Bruce Wayne, reminiscing) My... my children. I look at them and I... I feel such wonder. They are better than I'll ever be, aren't they? Maybe I'm a failure, but... nothing I find down here will change how I feel about... my family.
The last son of Krypton, Kal-El was sent to Earth as the planet's last hope. Raised in Kansas by the Kents, Clark would become the planet's guardian- Superman. While Clark Kent works as a reporter for the Daily Planet, Superman fights super villains alongside the other members of the Justice League, using his incredible powers for the good of the people.
(kind, friendly) Hey, listen. I know you've been going through a lot lately. If you want to--
(horrified) My God, there are people in there. Five of them. And they're alive. In some kind of cryo...
(determined) All right then. If you're all Bruce... that means there has to be some good in you... somewhere.
Prince Diana of Themyscira is the daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and Zeus, the most powerful Olympian. Leaving the island home of the Amazons, Diana came to the United States, where her heroic actions would earn her the name of Wonder Woman. A founding member of the Justice League, often acting as the team's leader.
(commanding, loud) League! Aegea Formation! Now!
(sympathetic) We're all tapped into the Watchtower's warning system, Bruce. Whatever this is, there's no way you could have known. There were no signs.
(pained, refusing to admit defeat) No... no, it will not end this way. It's a lie. It's manipulation!
The leader of the Blackhawks, a covert anti-apocalyptic team. She's been reincarnated through thousands of lives along with her partner, Carter Hall. Now hoping to prevent the coming of Barbatos, she's working alongside the Justice League to stop him from destroying the multiverse.
(starts off bitter, shifting to solemn at the third sentence) Proof? Ha. You sound like I did. Carter sent a team to prove me wrong. The entire mountain was ripped out of reality. The last transmissions we got from them were screams.
(reluctant, but well aware of what needs to be done) I'm sorry, Batman, but after Carter's mistake, I destroyed my wings and devoted my life to ending Nth metal. It's my mission.
(low, intimidating) No, not Kendra. I am, Lady Blackhawk. And all roads lead back to darkness.
Acting for the most part as the narrator of Dark Nights: Metal, Carter Hall is the partner of Kendra who was similarly locked in a cycle of reincarnation. A skilled detective, he gathered a team to investigate the dark multiverse, though he himself succumbed to the darkness. His journal is all that remains of the man he once was, now acting as the Dragon of Barbatos.
(narrating) The end will begin with a shot fired from the dark, something to tear a hole in reality.
(narrating, remorseful) I give this journal to you for a simple reason... to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was wrong. And I'm sorry for everything coming.
(Dragon of Barbatos, intimidating, booming) I am Carter Hall, Dragon of Barbatos, Keeper of the Dark Forge. And there are only endings here.
The first human to join the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan is former member of the air force, now working as a member of the Justice League. Using his ring, Hal is capable of creating just about any construct that he can imagine.
(annoyed/exasperated, last two lines dismissive) Let me get this straight... you brought us here, did all this, so you could trap Batman? That was your plan? You obviously didn't know him very well. Guy probably had a ride ready the moment we landed here.
(midfight, "whoa" should sound surprised) Aquaman, we need these wheel chocks off! This gauntlet's micro black hole is killing my ring's- whoa!
(focused) Well, I've been a space cop for years. And if I've learned anything it's that the best answers lead to results. And the result we need is a crap ton of Nth metal.
Capable of tapping into the Speed Force, Barry Allen is also known as the Flash. The fastest man alive, he can run at speeds so high he's only seen as a blur, even being capable of approaching the speed of light and creating time rifts. He's a friendly guy that's good at bringing people together and often making dorky jokes.
(insistent) Either we help him. or he's gonna need your old harpoon hand-- we have to move, now!
(correcting, last part should be considering) I've studied the multiverse for years. And that's all there is. There's nowhere else for it to come from... is there?
(bragging) So yeah, you're smart as hell... but I literally move faster than you can think.
(annoyed, forcing it out) I'm at half strength too, Green Lantern. These blasted sleeves... some kind of pit glass from the fires of Apokolips... the heat...
(dismissive) No weapons, Wonder Woman. Just bait.
(barely controlling anger, but rage is still clear) And one of those things took Mera. You still know nothing of--
Caught in an explosion at STAR Labs as a high schooler, Victor Stone was saved by experimental cybernetics. Now a cyborg, he uses his incredible new powers to help people as a member of the Justice League, having increased strength and the ability to interface with other technology.
(thoughtful) If you think that's strange... GL is right. This whole place is crackling with some kind of energy my sensors can't quantify. It's like... of the electromagnetic spectrum...
(quiet, concerned) That energy. It's even worse here. Something's getting closer.
(excited, then focused) We found him! I have eyes on him now.
Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred is the closest thing to a father Bruce has. He cares deeply for Bruce, assisting him in his job as Batman.
(in shock, speaking quickly) Sir! Thank God. I've been using every possible line of communication--
(mortified) How are we ever going to... the devastation...
(pleading, concerned) Sir, I'm begging you. Tell them--
An alien tyrant, Mongul was a ruler of Warworld. After fighting with General Zod, he was monitored by the Barralians, however, he was able to escape and create a new War Moon.
(mocking) "Mighty". Ha! What death design should they face next? Something special, eh?
(announcing, excited) Now let the battle... BEGIN!
(scared) No... not now!
A teenage genius, Hiro Okamura is a talented inventor
(quiet, a little nervous) I call it Fulcum Abominus.
A member of the team that followed Carter Hall into the dark multiverse, Red Tornado gave the Blackhawks a grim warning of the horrors on the other side.
(angered) THE DOOR! YOU OPENED THE DOOR!
(yelling, terrified) *He's* coming! He's coming for us all!
Capable of sensing Nth Metal, Dr. Fate is one of the people sent to track down the remaining deposits. He has a minor role in the first issue (with only one line), however his role is more important in later issues.
(surprised, confused) What are these? These... premonitions?
(slightly confused) I do not know... they should be welcoming us, given our current mission. Something is not right!
(yelling) No! You could end up killing everything! Please!
Another person that's sensitive to Nth Metal, Steel admittedly has the least lines of the sensitive characters.
(shocked) What in...? I don't understand... something getting... closer?
(commanding, yelling) Do it now!
(friendly, confident) I'm a man of science, Clark, but I took my name from a steel driver. And no machine is going to get the best of me. So all that's left to say is ready... set... go!
One of the Endless, Dream is a lord and personification of dreams and stories, ruling over the Dreaming.
(warning) I am Dream of the Endless, and I have come to tell you that this nightmare... has only just begun.
(neutral, drifting away) If the nightmare army succeeds, if the world goes dark, call to me in the place of the black sun. I wish you luck...
(wistful) And with those words, this book, and all hope, burns to ash.
Damian Wayne is the child of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul as well as the current bearer of the title of Robin. He can be rather arrogant, but he's skilled at helping his father.
(childish, excited) Listen, lady, I'm thirteen years old and driving a bat-hog through the Amazon on a Tuesday morning... I am already winning!
(bragging) It's basic strategy, Father. Separate, distract, and regroup.
(yelling, about to start playing a song) All right, you philistines, in three, two, one...
(reporting in) Nope. His heartbeat was a transmitter. Just monkey business!
(calling over his shoulder) No offense back there!
(neutral) This stops them. Nth Metal. It hurts them. We saw it in Gotham.
One of the most powerful magic users in the multiverse, Zatanna is a member of the Justice League sent to search for Batman.
(reporting in) Just another sleight of hand, Superman.
(casting a spell) Nerdlihc fo eht evarg, eb enog.
An occult detective and skilled sorcerer, John Constantine is one of the people sent on the hunt for Batman.
(confused) How the bloody hell did he hide a transmitter in walls made of souls?
Yet another hero searching for Batman, Blue Beetle was turned into a hero when the Blue Beetle Scarab attached itself to him.
(apologetic, the questioning) Sorry, no luck here! But so I'm clear, why are we hunting Batman again?!
(slight joking tone) You're looking for the deadliest weapon on the planet. This is... to plants.
(neutral) Which roughly translates to "the terrible green beat-down". Why, I couldn't guess.
(slight edge to voice) No! We don't. We save him by doing what he'd want us to do-- fight here and now!
Born millenia ago, Vandal Savage is an immortal and one of the members of the Immortal Men.
(slight cryptic tone at the beginning, more neutral at the end) Pardon the decor, Kendra, I'm building this place for... another purpose, but with our need for secrecy, it's the best there is.
(dismissive, somewhat patronizing) There is no time. We are the oldest beings on the planet, immortals, many of us descended from the original tribes, We have faced this threat before, and we must use the ultimate option if necessary.
(dismissive) Oh, hiding in history has been the greatest talent of the Court of Owls.
(mocking) Stories so often rhyme in the most interesting ways. We should have known the final metal would be forged in the heat of the cosmos beneath Gotham City.
(excited, in awe) He will chain the world, and we shall rule with him!
The Strigydae are the high priests of Barbatos who work to bring their dark god from the dark multiverse through Batman.
(quietly, longing) It has been so long...
(overjoyed) So long have we Strigydae waited for this day. For the Mantling. And now it is upon us!
The Bat God Barbatos has had his sights set on destroying the multiverse for centuries. Worshipped by the Judas Tribe and with the help of the Dark Knights, Barbatos plans to turn Batman into a portal that he can use to come to the regular multiverse.
(cold, almost taunting) You want Bruce Wayne? Look around.
(menacing) The only truth is in the end. All roads lead back to darkness.
(slightest hint of concern) Superman escaped the battery. If the heroes find the metal they seek...
(commanding) That's right... heel, boys.
(excited) *laugh* This is gonna be fun.
(fake friendly for first two sentences, blunt for last sentence) Gotham City, buddy. Crime Alley, to be specific. Where my parents died. I'm over it.
The Batman Who Laughs keeps a group of feral, Jokerized Robins on chain leashes, unleashing them like dogs that follow his every command.
*animalistic screeching*
(feral) Crow crow crow
A Bruce Wayne from the dark multiverse, when his parents were killed by Joe Chill, Bruce received the power of a green ring, overriding the ring's protests and killing Joe Chill. He brings justice to criminals with deadly force, but both the GCPD and the Green Lanterns questioning his morality. He killed James Gordon and defeated the Green Lanterns with the darkness in his ring, creating a new name for himself as the Dawnbreaker.
(neutral) I'm right here.
(agreeing somewhat reluctantly) Okay, but the flames...
(slight happiness) So bright...
(growling) I'm right here.
(aggressive) Same thing as always with you. Less talking, more punching!
(about to kill Superman) Now, for the good times, I'll let you choose... eyes open or closed?
(neutral) I'm right here.
(taunting) Oh, Arthur... we wouldn't want it any other way.
Batman and Wonder Woman fought side-by-side to stop Ares, who had created a helmet that greatly amplified his powers. They were able to stop Ares, but at the supposed cost of Wonder Woman's life. Batman put on the helmet to take down Ares, but he lost control and killed the god to avenge his fallen friend. However, Wonder Woman was still alive, and she attempted to remove the helmet from Bruce, but he was so addicted to the power he killed her himself. With unlimited power and no morality, he began a war that would result in countless deaths.
(neutral) I'm right here.
(dryly) All part of the battle plan, Lantern.
After Bane ambushed the Batcave and killed Alfred, Batman came to cyborg for help in bringing back his surrogate father in some way. Having already copied Alfred's mind, all he needed was help in turning him into a full AI. The AI they created, the Alfred Protocol, became a virus, killing the rogues gallery and then moving on to take Batman as well. The AI fused with him, erasing his humanity and cybernetically enhancing him. The newly made Murder Machine would then proceed to kill the Justice League of his Earth, joining the Dark Knights not long after.
(neutral) I'm right here.
As Gotham claimed the lives of his various Robins, Batman sought more and more extreme ways to fight the crimes he thought he wasn't fast enough to stop. To gain the speed he deemed necessary to prevent crimes, he determined that he would need to kill the Flash, taking out his rogues and using their weapons to defeat Barry. Using the Batmobile to drive the two of them into the Speed Force, merging with the Cosmic Treadmill and absorbing the Flash and his powers. With his new powers, he would kill the various members of his own rogues gallery, later joining the Dark Knights.
(neutral) I'm right here.
(slight sadistic tone) Thank you, Manta, for a speed delivery.
