‘Sonic 3’s Ben Schwartz Is Desperate to Play Plastic Man in the DCU
As a dedicated cinephile, I can’t help but notice the occasional resemblance between some beloved characters in the comic book world. For instance, Marvel’s Deadpool bears a striking similarity to DC’s Deathstroke and G.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes. Now, it seems that Ben Schwartz, who lends his voice to Sonic the Hedgehog in the third installment, is considering a leap into the DC Universe. This might lead some to think it’s another case of copying a copy. But let me clarify, Schwartz’s character in Sonic and his potential new role are not identical; rather, he aims to bring his unique, rapid-fire wit to one of DC’s most hilarious characters – Plastic Man.
