Examples of Role Reprise where the actor returned to voice the role in animation - these include any cases where the role was originated in a different medium (e.g. video games or live action).
There is a minimum time gap for most examples. To qualify for the trope, the gap between appearances (based on release date) should be 5 years or more. There's no such waiting period for actors who return to a Historical Domain Character or Public Domain Character in a new, unrelated production - even if it's based on the same work.
For the purpose of this trope, variants such as Alternate Universe and Alternate Continuity versions are treated as the same character.
The following have been moved to a subpage due to their length:
- Albert the Fifth Musketeer: In the French version, Gérard Hernandez voices D'Artagnan. He previously dubbed a Funny Animal version of D'Artagnan, Dogtanian, in Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds.
- In the series finale of Arthur, Michael Yarmush, the original voice of Arthur, reprised his role in the final segment "All Grown Up". At the end of segment, the series fastfowards to 20 years later, with Yarmush potraying the adult version of Arthur. While Yarmush had already returned to show in Season 9 to voice the character Slink (after stepping down as Arthur's voice in Season 6), this coincidentally marked his return to his original role after 20 years.
- The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes has quite a few. While Fred Tatasciore as the Hulk and Steve Blum as Wolverine were no brainers, there are others...
- Eric Loomis reprises his role from the Iron Man 2 tie-in game as Iron Man.
- Gabriel Mann reprises his Wolverine and the X-Men role as Bruce Banner. Likewise, Alex Désert reprises his role from that show as Nick Fury (which makes sense since The Avengers: EMH and WATXM are set in the same continuity).
- David Kaufman reprises his role from the Ultimate Spider-Man video game as the Human Torch.
- In addition to voicing the Hulk, Fred Tatasciore also reprises his role from the bonus levels of the 2005 Fantastic Four video game as the Thing.
- Tom Kane reprises his Next Avengers role as Ultron and his Hulk Vs. and Wolverine and the X-Men role as Professor Thronton due to the fact that The Avengers: EMH is set in the same continuity as WATXM and Hulk Vs.
- In addition to Kane as Thronton, Graham McTavish and Kari Wahlgren reprise their respective role from Hulk Vs. as Loki and Enchantress since The Avengers: EMH and Hulk Vs. are set in the same continuity.
- In addition to Tatasciore as the Thing and Kaufman as the Human Torch, Wally Wingert reprises his role in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 as Hank Pym.
- Grey DeLisle reprises her role from The Spectacular Spider-Man as Betty Brant. Infamously, her costars Josh Keaton and Daran Norris reprised their respective roles from the same series as Spidey himself and J. Jonah Jameson before being redubbed by two more: respectively, Drake Bell (who voices Spidey in Ultimate Spider-Man) and J. K. Simmons (who played Jonah in the Spider-Man Trilogy and reprised the role in Ultimate).
- While a good chunk of the cast reprised their roles in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this also went the other way with Loren Lester and Greg Ellis reprising their respective roles as Iron Fist and Rocket Raccoon.
- In addition to voicing Thor and the Absorbing Man, Rick D. Wasserman reprised the role of Surtur, who he first voiced in the Thor tie-in game, God of Thunder.
- Thunderbirds Are Go features David Graham as Parker, fifty years after he originated the part.
- While it was obvious that Peter Cullen would once again voice Optimus Prime in Transformers: Prime, the biggest surprise was that they also got Frank Welker back as Megatron. This time, he did change the "iconic" G1 Megs voice, trading the "wheezy old man" voice for something sounding more rough and tough. "Minus One", much like Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon, also saw Welker reprise the role of Soundwave, who otherwise had no lines.
- Transformers: Animated brought an interesting perspective. While Corey Burton became the voice of Megatron, he would also reprise his role as Spike Witwicky (though in brief background cameos) and Shockwave. Another of his characters appeared (Brawn), though he went voiceless.
- Also joining him was Susan Blu as Arcee, John Moschitta as Blurr and Judd Nelson for Rodimus Prime.
- Every TF series brings back someone from series past to play characters they've played before, even when not connected by continuity. The Unicron Trilogy has the Beast Wars Optimus and Megs return.
- In the Italian dub of The Ultimate Battle (a DVD recap of the Unicron Trilogy included with a 2-pack of Classics Optimus Prime Vs Megatron toys), Marco Balzarotti voices Optimus Prime. Since then, he took the role of Optimus Prime in every piece of non-live action product up until Cyberverse.
- In the Italian dub of Prime, Gianluca Iacono reprises his role as Starscream from Transformers: War for Cybertron, while Tony Fuochi reprises the role of Megatron he had back in Beast Wars.
- In the Italian dub of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Gabriele Calindri reprises his role as Jazz from Transformers: Animated.
- In the Brazilian dub, José Santa Cruz and José Santanna voiced Megatron and Starscream, respectively, in G1, Transformers: Armada and Michael Bay's live-action films. Guilherme Briggs voiced Optimus Prime in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Transformers: Armada, and Bay's films, as well as his descendant Optimus Primal in Beast Machines.
- In the Italian dub of Transformers: Cyberverse, Alessandro Capra, Cristiana Rossi and Sergio Romanò reprise their roles as Bumblebee, Windblade and Grimlock from Transformers: Robots in Disguise, while Gianluca Iacono, Lorenzo Scattorin and Claudio Moneta reprise their roles as Starscream, Wheeljack and Ratchet from Prime.
- Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy had Optimus Prime initially voiced by Hiro Diaz before having Jake Tillman reprise his role as the character from Transformers: Cyberverse as of the episode "Rescue Promo". Also returning from Cyberverse are Jeremy Levy, who reprises his roles as Bumblebee and Perceptor, and Todd Perlmutter, who once again voices Ratchet.
- In the Italian dub of Transformers: EarthSpark, Antonio Angrisano, Antonella Baldini and Dario Oppido reprise their roles as Optimus Prime, Elita-1 and Megatron from Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy.
- Transformers: Animated brought an interesting perspective. While Corey Burton became the voice of Megatron, he would also reprise his role as Spike Witwicky (though in brief background cameos) and Shockwave. Another of his characters appeared (Brawn), though he went voiceless.
- In Voltron: The Third Dimension three actors reprise their roles from Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Neil Ross reprises his role as Keith, Michael Bell is once again Lance and B.J. Ward is Princess Allura.
- The Legend of Vox Machina brought back the cast of the Vox Machina campaign of Critical Role in their original roles: Travis Willingham as Grog, Laura Bailey as Vex, Liam O'Brien as Vax, Marisha Ray as Keyleth, Taliesin Jaffe as Percy, Sam Riegel as Scanlan, and Ashley Johnson as Pike. Amusingly, Matthew Mercer, the DM of Critical Role, does not reprise all of the roles of the NPCs and adversaries he voiced over the course of the campaign, but does portray Vex's pet bear Trinket, some incidental characters, and the main villain of the first season, Sylas Briarwood as well as the first season's Final Boss, Orthax.
- The Looney Tunes Show brought back Jeff Bergman from Tiny Toon Adventures and early 90s Looney Tunes shorts for Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn. Jim Cummings is back as Taz, Bob Bergen is back as Porky, and June Foray is back as Granny. She no longer voices Witch Hazel (now Witch Lezah), but this is most likely due to the character being completely revamped (it's unlikely Foray would be able to sound anything like Roz Ryan).
- Star Trek:
- Star Trek: The Animated Series brought back the entire original cast from Star Trek: The Original Series, with the exception of Walter Koenig (interestingly, his character, Chekov, doesn't show up at all). In addition, two new characters were added: Lt. Arex (voiced by James Doohan who played Scotty) and M'Ress (voiced by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, who voiced Nurse Chapel).
- To add to this, Walter Koenig wrote one episode for the series: The Infinite Vulcan.

- Star Trek: The Animated Series brought back the entire original cast from Star Trek: The Original Series, with the exception of Walter Koenig (interestingly, his character, Chekov, doesn't show up at all). In addition, two new characters were added: Lt. Arex (voiced by James Doohan who played Scotty) and M'Ress (voiced by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, who voiced Nurse Chapel).
- Batman: The Brave and the Bold:
- Tom Everret Scott, Billy West, and Jennifer Hale reprise their respective DC Animated Universe roles as Booster Gold, Skeets, and Zatanna (along with Killer Frost). Richard Moll also reprised his DCAU role of Two-Face for the episode "Chill of the Night," but only for that episode - all other times he was voiced by James Remar instead.
- "Bold Beginnings!" featured a pre-episode short called "Space Safari", which was a crossover between Batman and Space Ghost. To sweeten the deal, Gary Owens, the original voice of Space Ghost, returns to reprise his role.
- A very...unique example took place in "The Super Batman of Planet X!" Batman visits an alternate dimension that greatly resembles Metropolis, with a super-powered Batman voiced by Kevin Conroy, and differently named versions of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively voiced by Dana Delany and Clancy Brown.
- The third segment of the episode "Batmite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases" has a crossover with Scooby-Doo, with Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle, and Matthew Lillard returning to the roles of Fred and Scooby, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy.

- Sonic Boom featured the voice actors from the games since 2010 reprising their roles: Roger Craig Smith as Sonic, Travis Willingham as Knuckles, Cindy Robinson as Amy, and Mike Pollock as Dr. Eggman (this counts as Pollock's second reprise, since he was among the 4Kids voice actors and was the only one to retain his role after the voice actors were changed). Kate Higgins did not reprise Tails however, being replaced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who then took over as the character with the game series.
- In the Italian dub, Oreste and Antonella Baldini reprise their roles as Knuckles and Amy from the dub of Sonic X.
- In the Brazilian dubs of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, the main cast of Sonic X returned for Sonic Boom.
- In Season 2, there were two major changes. Isaac Bardavid (Dr. Robotnik/Eggman), who had voiced that character since Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, was replaced. Also, Tails was recast after his voice actress had issues with the dubbing studio.
- The cast of Sonic Boom also carried over to Sonic Prime, but Amy was instead voiced by Bia Menezes, who replaced her mother after her death.
- In the French dub, Alexandre Gillet, Marie-Eugénie Maréchal, Sébastien Desjours, Naïké Fauveau, Marc Bretonnière, and Benoît Du Pac respectively reprise their roles as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, and Shadow from both Sonic X and the various games made since Sonic Generations. Benjamin Pascal and Philippe Roullier also respectively reprise their roles as Cubot and Vector from the games.
- Captain N: The Game Master brought back Link and Zelda from The Legend of Zelda (1989) in a couple of episodes with Jonathan Potts reprising his role of Link and Cyndy Preston reprising her role of Zelda. Furthermore, Ganon also made one appearance in the series, all with Len Carlson reprising his role of the evil wizard.
- Larry Kenney and Lynne Lipton reprised their roles as Lion-O and Cheetara for a Family Guy Cutaway Gag.
- In the Italian dub of Family Guy, almost every cutaway gag has the original voice actors reprising their roles. Sandro Acerbo and Dario Penne as Marty McFly and Doc Brown? Check. Carlo Valli as Robin Williams? Check. Leonardo Graziano as Sheldon Cooper? Check.
- Because of a short amount of time for casting, George Newbern, Dana Delany, and Clancy Brown reprise their DC Animated Universe roles as Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor on The Batman. However, this is averted with Charlie Schlatter as the Flash as the Flash in S: TAS was Wally West and Word of God is the Flash on The Batman is Barry Allen.
- Over half a decade after the original cartoon ended, the cast from Teen Titans reprised their roles for a series of minute-long shorts as a part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation block, which later expanded into the full Teen Titans Go! series. This also dipped into returns of other series, including Strong as Batgirl and Billy Batson, Payton as the Kaldur'ahm Aqualad, Kevin Conroy as Batman and Eric Bauza as Commissioner Gordon for an episode, Larry Kenney as the original Lion-O, Alex Brightman as Beetlejuice, and Jason Spisak as the Joker.

- The revival of Johnny Bravo got all of the original cast (Johnny, his mom, and the neighbor Suzy) voiced by the same people.
- The Spectacular Spider-Man:
- Dee Bradley Baker originally voiced Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard in the early 2000s Spider-Man games for the PlayStation. He would reprise the role again in Spectacular.
- Bill Fagerbakke also reprises his role from The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man as Morris Bench, though much like the example of Olivia d'Abo as a pre-Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, in Green Lantern: First Flight and because the show was cut short, it features Bench before he becomes Hydro-Man.
- In the Italian dub, Marco Vivio reprises his role as Peter Parker from the Raimi movie trilogy.
- Ultimate Spider-Man:
- J. K. Simmons as the voice of J. Jonah Jameson, the character he portrayed in the live-action Spider-Man movies, and Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson from the MCU.

- Frank Welker has played Fred Jones from the Scooby-Doo series since its inception in 1969. But when Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island came out in 1998, it was the first time Fred had been featured in the series in close to 15 years, and he was the only one of the surviving original cast to reprise his role (starting with What's New, Scooby-Doo?, he would take up the role of Scooby-Doo as well).
- In the direct-to-video movies Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico and Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire, Heather North and Nicole Jaffe, the second voice (but first permanent voice) of Daphne and the original voice of Velma respectively, reprised their roles.
- What's New also saw the return of Casey Kasem as Shaggy, who had been absent from the role for several years following a dispute over the character appearing in a Burger King commercial (Kasem was a strict vegan and only returned under the condition that Shaggy no longer consume meat).note Unlike North and Jaffe, his reprise was permanent, and only came to an end with his retirement in 2009.
- Matthew Lillard has voiced Shaggy after Kasem's retirement from the role from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, reprising his role from the theatrical live-action films.
- "Scoobynatural", an animated episode of the otherwise live-action show Supernatural, has the then-current voice actors reprising their roles.

- The 2009 special "The Powerpuff Girls Rule" and the 2014 special "Dance Pantsed" both had every actor from the original show return to reprise their roles.
- While the Girls and Princess Morbucks have all been recast for the 2016 reboot, Tom Kenny reprises his roles as the Mayor of Townsville and the Narrator, Roger L. Jackson returns to play Mojo Jojo, Jennifer Hale reprises her role as Ms. Keane, Tom Kane returns as both HIM and Professor Utonium, Jeff Bennett returns as the voice of Ace of the Gangreen Gang, and Jim Cummings reprises his role as Fuzzy Lumpkins.

- All of the Recess voice actors reprised their roles for the 2003 Direct to Video films, Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade and Recess: All Growed Down, with the exceptions of T.J. and Becky, who were voiced by Myles Jeffrey and Tara Strong replacing Andrew Lawrence (who had replaced Ross Malinger in 1998) and Melissa Joan Hart.
- When the main characters from Recess all crossed over into the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "Lax" in 2006, Rickey D'Shon Collins, Pamela Adlon, Ashley Johnson, and April Winchell all reprised their roles of Vince, Spinelli, Gretchen, and Miss Finster, respectively. However, since Myles Jeffrey, Jason Davis, and Courtland Mead's voices had completely broke, their roles of T.J., Mikey, and Gus ended up going to Axel Alba, Zack Shada, and Zach Ewing.
- Speaking of Lilo & Stitch, the TV series had cast nearly all the VAs from the original film save Ving Rhamesnote and Jason Scott Lee. However, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch had a young Dakota Fanning subbing for Daveigh Chase as Lilo due to Chase being too busy voicing the same character in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, while Lee reprised his role for this film.
- Everyone apart from Danny DeVito and Rip Torn (plus Charlton Heston's narrator) returned for Hercules: The Animated Series - though Tate Donovan, who played adult Herc, voices the teenage one that protagonizes the series instead of Josh Keaton. This was caused by James Woods' return, and to show how he loves Hades, apart from a small scene in House of Mouse it's always him when Hades appears (such as in Kingdom Hearts). The crossover with Aladdin: The Series also has Aladdin, Jasmine, Abunote , and Jafar again voiced by the same actors.
- Sid Raymond returned to voice Baby Huey in the 1994 revival, 35 years after his last animated appearance (but only in the first season; for the second, Joe Alaskey took over the role).

JP Manoux reprises the role of Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove video game and House of Mouse.
- The Addams Family had this happen in nearly all animated incarnations:
- John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Ted Cassidy, and Jackie Coogan reprised their roles as Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, and Uncle Fester from the 1960's live-action series for the Addams Family's guest appearance on The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
- In The Addams Family (1973), most members of the family had been recast, but Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy again played Uncle Fester and Lurch.
- The Addams Family (1992) again recast nearly everyone, but had John Astin reprise his role as Gomez Addams once more.
- The Incredible Hulk (1996):
- The show featured the voice of Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk. Ferrigno famously portrayed the Hulk in the iconic 70s live-action show — which is notable since the Hulk didn't speak in the earlier series and his roars were dubbed over by Ted Cassidy and Charles Napier.
- As befitting the fact it's a spin-off of Fantastic Four: The Animated Series and Iron Man: The Animated Series, there's Matt Frewer as the Leader, Robert Hays as Iron Man, Dorian Harewood as War Machine, Tom Kane as H.O.M.E.R., Beau Weaver as Mister Fantastic, Chuck McCann as The Thing, Simon Templeman as Doctor Doom, John Rhys-Davies as The Mighty Thor, and Richard Grieco as Ghost Rider. Ironically, the Leader was the only Hulk character to carry over from the shows to TIH as the Hulk himself — and Rick Jones — underwent were The Other Darrin, with Ferringo and Neal McDonough replacing Ron Perlman in the respective roles of the Hulk and Bruce Banner, and the late Luke Perry replacing Benny Grant from FF as Rick Jones.
- The first season of Men in Black: The Series saw the return of Tony Shalhoub as the voice of Jeebs, his character from the movie. However, he was replaced by Billy West for the remainder of the series.
- Ben 10
- "T.G.I.S.", the Ben 10: Omniverse episode where The Secret Saturdays guest star, sees Corey Burton reprise his role as the resurrected V.V. Argost and "Store 23" features a gag where Charlie Adler reprise his roles as Cow and Chicken. Sadly, regarding the former, the Saturdays themselves were subject to the The Other Darrin with Burton replacing Diedrich Bader as Fiskerton.
- Tara Strong reprised her role as young Ben in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien episode "The Forge of Creation" and in flashbacks of Omniverse and also continues playing Ben in Ben 10 (2016).
- While many characters have been recast for the reboot (such as David Kaye replacing Paul Eiding as Max Tennyson), in addition to Tara Strong playing Ben Tennyson again, the show also has Dwight Schultz reprise his role as Dr. Animo, John DiMaggio return as Four-Arms and Zombozo, and Greg Cipes back as the voice of Kevin.
- The Italian dub of the reboot has Gabriele Patriarca play the titular character, reprising the role from Ben 10: Race Against Time. Also, Barbara Pitotti and Toni Orlandi reprise the roles of Gwen and Grandpa Max from the original series.
- The Jetsons brought back the entire cast 20 years later to produce another season of shows for first run syndication along with the classics. This was going to happen in Jetsons: The Movie as well, but for two things: First, Daws Butler died shortly before recording began, meaning Elroy had to be recast. Second, Executive Meddling resulted in Janet Waldo being replaced as Judy by pop idol Tiffany, who was originally just going to do her singing voice – to add insult to injury, Waldo had actually recorded all her lines for the movie; she had no idea she'd been replaced until she saw the movie's premiere. The movie also marked the final voice roles for both George O'Hanlon (George Jetson) and Mel Blanc: both died shortly after recording their parts.note
- Super Best Friends Forever, Teen Titans Go! (in addition to Raven), and Beware the Batman all see Tara Strong reprise her The New Batman Adventures role as Barbara Gordon, though BtB sees Barbara as Oracle, which Tara hadn't voiced before that point, whereas SBFF and Go once again see Barbara as Batgirl.
- Young Justice sees Bruce Greenwood reprise his Batman: Under the Red Hood role as Batman, Jeff Bennett reprise his Batman: The Brave and the Bold as Abra Kadabra, Gregg Rainwater reprise his Justice League Unlimited as Apache Chief Expy (Tye) Longshadow, and Steve Blum and Ariel Winter reprise their respective DC Showcase: Green Arrow roles as Count Vertigo and Perdita.
- In the Italian dub, Alessio De Filippis reprises his role as Robin from Teen Titans.
- Season 3 has Logan Grove replaced as Beast Boy by Greg Cipes, reprising the role from Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go!. The season also sees Donna Troy and Lois Lane appear, with Grey DeLisle reprising the respective roles from Super Best Friends Forever and Justice League: Doom. Another return to a role is in the form of Darkseid, with Michael Leon Wooley reprising the role from Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
- Phantoms sees Kari Wahlgren reprise her Legion of Super-Heroes role as Saturn Girl and Zehra Fazal reprises her DC Showcase – Batman: Death in the Family role as Talia al Ghul. Also, in a surprise bit of Canon Welding, "Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge!" has Kevin Michael Richardson and Jason Spisak reprise their Green Lantern: The Animated Series roles as Kilowog and Razer.
- Nearly a decade after the live action Batman series went off the air, Adam West and Burt Ward returned as the Dynamic Duo for Filmation's The New Adventures of Batman. West would again reprise his role as the Caped Crusader during the final two seasons of Super Friends, replacing Olan Soule.
- Legion of Super-Heroes sees Corey Burton reprise his Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League role as Brainiac.
- G.I. Joe
- The DiC Entertainment continuation of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero recast most of the characters that returned from the original Sunbow series, but the show did have Chris Latta reprise his role as Cobra Commander, Jerry Houser return to voice Sci-Fi, and Bob Remus return as Sgt. Slaughter. Morgan Lofting and Ed Gilbert also reprised their roles as the Baroness and General Hawk in the first season of the DiC series before being replaced in season two by Suzanne Errett-Balcome and David Kaye respectively.
- G.I. Joe: Renegades sees Charlie Adler reprise his role as Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe: Resolute. However, this is the only role he reprised (Gung-Ho didn't appear and Hard Master, Flint, and Stalker One had different voice actors).
- An animated episode of the otherwise live-action show Community takes place almost entirely in the G.I. Joe world. Michael Bell reprised his role as Duke and Bill Ratner reprised the voice of Flint, both from the original cartoon.
- Spider-Man: The Animated Series:
- Neil Ross and Linda Gary from the 80s solo Spider-Man cartoon reprised their respective roles as Norman Osborn and Aunt May (at least until Gary died, regarding the latter).
- It also saw reversal of The Other Darrins in other '90s Marvel cartoons as James Avery reprised his role from the first season of Iron Man: The Animated Series as War Machine (likely, in part, due to his replacement, Dorian Harewood voicing Tombstone) and Iona Morris reprised her role from the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series as Storm. That said, Storm is also an example of The Other Darrin in the series, as the X-Men's guest appearance earlier in the series had Storm voiced by her voice actress from Season 2 and onward of X-Men onwards, Alison Sealy-Smith.
- In the Italian dub, Stefano Onofri reprises the role of the titular character from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.
- Márcio Simões, who voiced the Joker in the Brazilian dub of The Dark Knight, returned to voice the Joker in the dub of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. He also voiced the Joker in the dubs of Batman: Arkham Origins and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
- The 2006 revival of Biker Mice from Mars recast most of the supporting characters, but some of the actors from the original 1993 series returned to reprise their roles.

- The Italian dub of every Batman cartoon since Batman: The Animated Series (excluding the movies) keeps the same voice actors for the main characters: Marco Balzarotti as Batman, Davide Garbolino as Robin (he actually voiced both Dick Grayson and Tim Drake during The New Batman Adventures, with the former getting a different voice actor once he grew up and became Nightwing), Enrico Bertorelli as Commissioner Gordon, Riccardo Peroni as Joker and Debora Magnaghi as Batgirl. Other characters were recast between various series, but some voice changes were later kept as the standard voices (Mario Zucca as Mr. Freeze, introduced first in TNBA) and some older voice actors came back in later series (Marina Thovez as Catwoman, replaced in The Batman but came back in Batman: The Brave and the Bold)
- Similarly, the French dub for the various DC animated adaptations (both movies and TV shows) regularly have the same voice actors reprise their roles whenever possible. Just to name a few examples, Emmanuel Jacomy voiced Superman in almost all of his animated appearances ever since Superman: The Animated Series; Adrien Antoine has been the voice of Batman in almost everything ever since The Batman; and Delphine Braillon has given her voice to Wonder Woman, with a few exceptions here and there, ever since Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
- Starting with Justice League vs. Teen Titans, when the French dubs of the animated films were recorded at Deluxe Media Paris, Antoine reprised his role as Superman from the live-action movies since Superman Returns while Jacomy was instead voicing Batman. This came to a halt ever since Justice Society: World War II and Batman: The Long Halloween.
