(starting quiet, but eventually breaking) "After I buried my Mom, I stood there after everybody else left, and I thought...is this it? Is this all there is? Working in a cubicle six days a week until I'm too old to do it anymore, then I die?
(sobbing with anger) "When I graduated high school, I thought--we all thought--we were gonna go off and do great things. We're gonna change the world. Save the world. Shit… If somebody said, "Hey, you're gonna pump gas your whole life," or "Better get used to cleaning up after people, because THAT's going to be your whole life," we'd have laughed at them."
(running out of breath, like she's cried every bit of energy out of her body) Can we just…not talk about this anymore for a while? My head hurts. I've been crying all day. I just…I just want to rest for a bit.

(Superman has just asked, "What happened?") "Don't know. She hasn't said a word since she got up there."
"Don't suppose you'd like to fly up there and bring her down for us, would you?"
"Hey, one question before you fly off. Would you really have let her fall?"

(A mix of sentiment and anger) "Even after his death, I am still hearing Jor-El's naivety."
(Coldly, like he is ready to die) "I had just witnessed my home be wiped out by our own source of life and my own legion turned into bloodthirsty killers, Kal. I was ready to be welcomed by the Void."
(Beaten by life, filled with regret, but keeping a monotone) "The last time I fought for a planet, I was dishonored and banished. I won't fight just to see another world die."

(preparing to operate on something extraterrestrial, giving a false confidence) "Oh, it's only the fate of the entire universe resting on what we do here today. No pressure."
"Superman, something has come up and it will require your perspective."
(Wisely) "All puzzles have a solution, no matter how difficult. It just requires approaching from another angle."

Dr. Silas Stone is another scientist at STAR Labs, working alongside Emil Hamilton. He is less of an idealist. He can be cold, callous, and he cares little about the opinions and feelings of others. It can be hard to like him, but he's not a bad person either.
(Optional) Voice reference: Phil Lamarr, particularly his performance as Aquaman in the Injustice games: https://youtu.be/mTZDLsrhGiY

(Callously) "Considering how powerful you are, I don't think it's wise to have another Kryptonian here."
(Condescending) "And I'm sure you can build another lickity-split, correct? Or should you just let me do my job?"
(Filled with sorrow, yet still trying to keep a level head) "No matter the cost, son: I will fix you. I have to..."

Icicle Jr. (mid-20s) is a different kind of villain, a recovering one. He's left the Injustice Society and is trying to live a life on the straight and narrow, which is why he is appearing on Jimmy Olsen's podcast to share his story with the world. To prove that not all villains are pure evil.
(Optional) Voice reference: When I wrote the character, I imagined him with a more subtle Southern accent, akin to Joel Miller from The Last Of Us, but younger: https://youtu.be/dXifuZ7Ok3s

(Annoyed with a hint of regret) "Dad sic'd me on Superman like an attack dog. I thought if I could take out SUPERMAN of all people, Dad would finally be proud. But when I looked back, Dad was running away. I wasn't his valiant knight or a rook, I was his damned pawn to sacrifice."
(Proud of himself) "I could have escaped, probably still be on the run today, but I stood there, looked at myself in the mirror, then said to my Dad, "No…I'm done."
(Sincere) "I'm here because Superman gave me a chance. And I ain't planning to waste it."

Aquaman has a small but important role in one episode, which features his brother, Ocean Master, trying to lead a revolt on the surface world. Superman allies with Aquaman to stop Ocean Master. He looks like a king, but he still feels like someone who understands the average individual, hinting at his roots in a coastal town in Maine.
(Optional) Voice reference: Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, mixing deadpan seriousness with smartass remarks, yet still feels like someone who can rule a kingdom https://youtu.be/VILVJ_YFvaE?si=LJHwr9hdam5nJyTO

(Disappointed, scolding Ocean Master) "Your lust for war blinds you, brother. What would our mother say if she saw this atrocity?"
(Smirking, cocky) "I knew I couldn't talk you down. I only needed to get you to monologue enough to help HIM recover."
(Booming, kingly) "As Atlantis' true king, I will do everything in my power to guarantee peace is maintained between our peoples."

The half-brother of Aquaman, who despises the surface world for all it's done to the sea. He leads an extermination squad to the surface to start a war, until he meets Superman.

(Impressed, but with a smug tone) "Ah, the Kryptonian. Whispers of your existence reach even down to our civilization. The alien who flies through the air like a shark glides through the sea."
(Angrily, threatening surface dwellers while also inspiring his stormtroopers) "Now, Atlantis will rise like a tsunami and drag you all down to the depths!"
(Seething with hate) "It is too late for that. The oceans obey me! Not you. Nothing you can say will make this stop."

The iconic arch-nemesis of Superman. Superman pays Lex a visit at Stryker's Island, which results in an unlikely alliance between them. This is a Lex who's already been exposed as the criminal megalomaniac with a giant checkbook, yet there is a hint of honor in him.
(Optional) Voice reference: This one might be a strange choice, but I imagined him sounding like Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat 1. He's suave and slimy, making it hard to resist him https://youtu.be/Pm75sLcRBys

(smug) "You're not wrong. But something tells me you're here for more than just to chat with me, SUPERMAN." (emphasize the name "Superman", making it sound like he's mocking it)
(rolling his eyes) "I am the easy target. Public enemy of Metropolis using what little power he has left to strike a blow against his enemy. Believe it or not, ALIEN, even I'm not interested in that."
(pompous) "Do not get this twisted, alien. We are not friends. We have a common enemy. That is all."

This might be the smallest yet most important role of the series. In the final episode, Jimmy Olsen takes to the streets of Metropolis and asks a couple questions: "What does Superman mean to you?" "How has Superman affected your life?"
This is intended to be a love letter to the character of Superman, both as a fictional hero to people in the real world and as a public figure in Metropolis. We invite people from all heritages to audition, as we want to feature a diverse range of voices expressing their admiration for Superman.
