What was the reason for the downvote? I hope it's not because this is a self-answered question, since they are encouraged on this site. If it's something else, please let me know so that I can improve the question.– ThunderforgeOct 14, 2016 at 3:39

How can this be too broad @AJ?– user33741Oct 14, 2016 at 5:53

@AJ Not sure how that means there are too many possible answers if one answer contains all the actors.– ThunderforgeOct 14, 2016 at 13:18

@Thunderforge Never mind. BTW +1 for the efforts in answer.– A J ♦Oct 14, 2016 at 13:21

@Thunderforge - your answer (currently) doesn't contain all the actors, e.g. Victor Garber voiced Sinestro in Green Lantern: First Flight and Summer Glau voiced Supergirl in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse - But instead of "too broad" I'd rather categorize this question as a "list question" and/or "Trivia".– Oliver_COct 14, 2016 at 21:15

Yes, there's lots!
Amanda Pays
Dr. Christina "Tina" McGee in both the the 1990 version of The Flash
…and the 2014 The Flash series
It's fun seeing her interested in Henry Allen, since her character and John Wesley Shipp's character had romantic feelings in the 1990s show.
Alex Désert
Julio Mendez, Barry Allen's coworker and close friend, in the 1990 The Flash TV series.
And Captain Julio Mendez in the "Flashpoint" timeline of the 2014 The Flash:
Brandon Routh
Superman in Superman Returns
And Ray Palmer (The Atom) in Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow
Clancy Brown
The voice of Lex Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series and the rest of the DC animated universe (as well as other voice roles)
And General Wade Eiling in the 2014 The Flash
John Wesley Shipp
The Flash himself in the 1990 The Flash series.
And Barry Allen's father, Henry Allen, in the 2014 The Flash, as well as Earth-3 Jay Garrick
Mark Hamill
As the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series
And as the Trickster in the 2014 The Flash
In his first episode, he also dramatically tells another guest character "I am your father!"
Neal McDonough
Voiced Oliver Queen in DC Showcase: Green Arrow, then fought against him as Damien Dahrk in Arrow
He has also done video game voice work as Barry Allen/The Flash in Injustice: Gods Among Us and Floyd Lawton/Deadshot in Batman: Assault on Arkham.
Tara Strong
As the voice of Harley Quinn in many Batman-related media:
She has a one-line voiceover role as Harley Quinn in Arrow
"Do you cuties need some counseling? I'm a trained therapist."

1Don't know about the question; but I liked the answer. +1.– user33741Oct 14, 2016 at 5:39

Great answer, Mark Hamel was also the Trickster in the 90's Flash. Then there is Laura Vandermoot (?) who was Supergirl on Smallville and a Brainiac type villain on Supergirl. Plus Dean Caine and Helen Slater who played Superman and Supergirl in previous roles and are now Supergirls adoptive parents.– Jason KOct 15, 2016 at 2:33

@JasonK I'll see about adding Mark Hamill in the 90s Flash. As for the others, Supergirl isn't officially part of the Arrowverse although there are plenty of fans that do consider it to be. Perhaps I'll add it as an addendum. Oct 17, 2016 at 4:13

@Thunderforge Well, Flash does cross over to her world in Supergirl season 1 and I hear there will be a Flash/Arrow/Legends/Supergirl 4 way crossover this year but yeah, it is the most loosely connected one for sure.– Jason KOct 17, 2016 at 15:01
