#the people they pull aren't necessarily super major and they've been capable of giving some great performances

Seeing the cast list for 'bcc' makes me sad because it's continuing this trend of hiring celebrities instead of trained voice actors.

I'm trying to keep an open mind about it, because even if some of these actors are well known for in-person performances, they've given decent stuff in their voice work. Reid Scott isn't just Dan from VEEP, he's also playing Pa Kent in My Adventures with Superman right now and doing a pretty good job, and back when B:TAS was happening, Mark Hamill definitely would have been considered a celebrity grab rather than a trained voice actor, but now he just is the Joker. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of stunt casting, the most famous name attached to it so far seems to be Christina Ricci, maybe followed by McKenna Grace afterwards. Plus, MAWS is being helmed by Jack Quaid as Clark despite him not being a trained voice actor and I'm of the opinion he's doing a stellar job (he's not my fave performance that honor goes to Chris Parnell's Slade Wilson but anyone who's been on this blog in the past year already knows that). So I'm trying not to be too down about it.
