Owlman in the film is voiced by James Woods. Batman is voiced by William Baldwin.
The answer to why they aren't voiced by the same person, despite being each other's alternate incarnation from opposing universes, is very simple.
Because they aren't the same person.
In Owlman's appearance in The Brave And The Bold cartoon, he was merely an evil version of Batman (and both were voiced by Diedrich Bader), as were all the other counterparts to their respective personas.
In the comics, Owlman is Thomas Wayne Jr., the older brother of his universe's Bruce Wayne. In this universe, it is Bruce and his mother Martha who are killed (by a corrupt cop). Thomas Jr. blamed his father for their deaths and escaped the crime scene with Joe Chill, who, in the main universe, is the thug who killed Bruce Wayne's parents. He later grew up to be the masked criminal Owlman (implied to have used drugs to speed up his training), providing assistance against the Gotham Police to Boss Gordon (the criminal counterpart to Commissioner Gordon) and fighting against his father, who had become the Commissioner of the Gotham Police in his universe in order to stop his son.
Owlman, like Batman, is the brains behind his group, the Crime Syndicate. Cold and calculating, he even manages an affair with Superwoman (the alternate version of Mary Marvel) who is married to Ultraman (the alternate version of Superman).
It is also worthy to note that he is not the only alternate universe member who has a differing backstory and character with his own counterpart. The Earth-2 comic version of Superwoman is an Amazon like Wonder Woman, only she is also her universe's Lois Lane in her civilian identity. The Earth-2 Ultraman, despite having virtually the same powers, is not a Kryptonian like Superman. He was originally a human astronaut (the Clark Kent of his universe) who was thought to have been killed in deep space, but whose body was repaired by an alien race (presumably Kryptonians) and sent back to Earth, where he proceeded to conquer the planet. Many other Justice League members (or any others from the 'main' universe) do not have modern counterparts at all, most notably the villains of the Justice League; most of their heroic counterparts from the Crime Syndicate's universe have all been killed, due to facing opponents with no moral conflict about doing so. In the film itself, the good Lex Luthor stated that he is the only surviving hero from his world, the rest having been killed by the Syndicate.
The only character with a counterpart in the film who is voiced by the same actor is Green Lantern (Hal Jordan); he and his counterpart, Power Ring, are both voiced by Nolan North.

Only green kryptonite. Blue Kryptonite kills Bizarros, and this appearance may have been a reference to them.
