The Justice League Casting Thread

[shauner111]

^Yup!

[Rockstar]

I'd prefer Christina Hendricks as Mera.


An Aquaman film with Edgerton as King Orin, Hendricks as Mera and Idris Elba as Black Manta would be epic.

[Llama_Shepherd]

Hendricks is too soft spoken for Mera. I haven't seen her in anything that would make me think she could play the character.

[Rockstar]

The JLU version seemed pretty passive. She was basically Orin's wife and the mother to his children.

[TheWatcher]

Cavill, Bentley, Atwell, Reynolds,Gordon-Levitt.

The Justice League. Coming in 2015.

[Jake Cassidy]

Cavill, Bentley, Atwell, Reynolds,Gordon-Levitt, Skarsgard, Mensah.

The Justice League. Coming in 2015.

:yay:

[TheWatcher]

^You know what's funny about that? I had those two actors originally on the end but I thought five would be enough :P

[Jake Cassidy]

That's some freaky ****.

[TheWatcher]

Indeed.

[Jake Cassidy]

That, or we're both awesome.

[Rockstar]

Just for fun. Casting Alex Ross' Justice.

Two movies of this and then Kingdom Come.

Yeah, but that's a crap version o Mera, the modern (superior) version is a freaking badass and literally one of the angriest beings in the universe.

[DoomsdayApex]

Paul Bettany as Aquaman is actually a pick I had in mind too. I was watching Legion the other day (terrible film) and upon witnessing Bettany kick some Angel ass, I am convinced that he would make a stellar superhero.

I also got Hawkman vibes from Durand's Arcangel Gabriel. :hehe:

[protocida]

Gabriel in Legion was a rather obvious rip-off of Hawkman. The mace, the chestplate, the attitude, even Kevin Durand looks like how Carter Hall if often portrayed.

[TheWatcher]

I still think Momoa would be a great Hawkman.

[Superhero 101]

I like the idea of Momoa as Hawkman But he would need to really bring his A game in terms of acting?
Anyone think Armie Hammer could be a good Batman/Bruce Wayne?

[TheWatcher]

Hawkman would be nothing more than a supporting role. If they make a Hawkman movie they would need to go with a better actor.

And no. Hammer is a weak actor.

[Eddie Dean]

Anyone think Armie Hammer could be a good Batman/Bruce Wayne?
George Miller did.

[Majik1387]

And no one else with power at WB.:up:

[TheWatcher]

^Exactly

[batman44]

Anyone think Armie Hammer could be a good Batman/Bruce Wayne?

I would give him a chance, I think he's a pretty good actor.

I think he may get an audition when the time comes given that he was cast before, one of the finalist for Superman, and the talent he's work with thus far.

[HighFivingMF]

Anyone think Armie Hammer could be a good Batman/Bruce Wayne?

I think he'd make a better Aquaman.

[Changeling]

Rockstar- Justice isn't that great of a story, I don't think it'd translate that well on the big screen. That story doesn't compare to the Avengers story. Gina Carano is also a very very bad choice, we need a respectable actress. Bradley Cooper as flash isn't bad, but we def can do much better. Jon Hamm I support for sure, not a fan of your Superman choice. I'm so glad you aren't in charge at wb lol sorry we agree on certain things but the idea of separating Henry cavill's superman from the justice league movie makes no ****ing sense, I don't know why anyone would support that idea, there's no reason to seperate those universes, it just makes things way more complicated than they Should be. Your reasons make no sense from a financial standpoint, if mos is a hit there is NO reason why he shouldnt be in justice league. wtf would anyone think that, after avengers made a billion dollars after introucing their characters beforehand. Im sorry but your ideas are not marketable at all, your ideal movie I don't think would make much money and that's what wb is about, making money

[Rockstar]

You don't understand the financial aspect at all.

And what characters has JL introduced beforehand?

Man of Steel isn't even out yet. You can't gage it's supposed financial success yet and what it could bring to JL.

JL is targeted for 2015. They aren't introducing the cast in solo films beforehand. It isn't the Avengers model.


I'll copy my reply from the other thread, it's relevant here:


The problem is you guys are assuming the WB/DC plan for these characters will fold out like Marvel when clearly no evidence exists that this is the case.


Justice League will very likely be a self-contained franchise driven by the studio, especially given by the fact that they're rushing it for a 2015 release.


In fact, I'm willing to bet this question will be raised today at the Man of Steel panel with Snyder and Cavill.... whether Man of Steel will be tied to Justice League (willing to bet Man of Steel will be a self-contained franchise).


Don't forget Snyder's previous response:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uEgIONT2vo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uEgIONT2vo)


The odds aren't really in the favor of a 'shared universe.' WB, in it's current state, isn't even set up to pull it off logistically. It's not Marvel Studios.

Nolan was really the only chance of pulling the franchises together under one direction, and that's over now.





Rockstar- Justice isn't that great of a story, I don't think it'd translate that well on the big screen.

I never said anything about translating the story, but just keeping the essense of the Ross artwork and interpretation.

It's very much the antithesis of the grounded, and gritty approach used in BB-TDKR and Man of Steel, so it makes the separation more defined.

[Joeyjojo72]

If they're really doing a JL movie, Henry Cavill will have to play Superman. If MoS is a success, they arent gonna have ANOTHER actor play him, especially since the MoS sequel will likely be coming out within a year or two of JL. No way they have two actors playing the same iconic character more or less simultaneously.

And there will be other characters introduced, either in their own movies or as cameos, before JL. You dont invest that kind of money (300 million +) in a movie without testing the waters first.

[Rockstar]

And back in reality it's confirmed they're aiming to release Justice League in 2015 and there's no DC films planned until then.

There's not gonna be any solo films. The evidence is mounting that JL will be self-contained.

They aren't going to wait around till next summer to see how MoS does. If they want JL out by 2015, the movement begins now.

And there will be other characters introduced, either in their own movies or as cameos, before JL. You dont invest that kind of money (300 million +) in a movie without testing the waters first .


Test the waters like they did before releasing Green Lantern and almost doing Justice League:Mortal.

[Majik1387]

There's not evidence making it seem self-contained, only it being number one priority.

[shauner111]

You're saying it like it's confirmed. It isn't. They're aiming for a 2015 release just like they "confirmed" Nolans involvement in both the Batman reboot and JL. They like to talk. It may come out later than that.


Also i still stand by the idea of just using Cavill after MOS. 2 Supermans make no sense. Until Snyder announces that his Superman is seperate, i will believe Cavills doing it.


Even if they don't have their solo films beforehand, it's still not confirmed. Plans change frequently with WB and we may see a couple of those movies first.

[Rockstar]

I'll give you that plans do change from time to time. Nolan leaving was a huge change.


But trying to shoehorn the Man of Steel franchise into Justice League could be a mess without Christopher Nolan involved.

Check out the Man of Steel comic-con footage. It's very Nolan-esque.



Before Chris walked off the Justice League project, I could believe Man of Steel could be shoehorned in with his direction... but now?

It could be very problematic.

[TheWatcher]

Yes it's Nolan-esque, but the story is about an alien. Not a man in a suit. It can fit better than Nolans Batman.

" After a few other fairly familiar questions, Snyder is asked about the possibility of Justice League and Superman/Batman. "We know that Superman is the jewel in the DC crown and what we're really trying to do is get his house in order - and then, who knows what's possible?"

Quote from CC

[combocaz]

Well Cavill may very well end up in the JLA movie if MoS does really well but snyder hasnt confirmed or denied it. So its very much up to how well MoS will do in the box office which may mean if MoS bombs then jla may be put on the shelf for the time being and another fail for DC. Im really hoping MoS kills the box office.
Will Superman get into a Batman movie or Justice League at some point? Snyder says that Superman is the jewel in the DC crown and they are just making sure to keep the house in order. But after that who knows what’s possible.

No.


And stop watching Teen Wolf.

[TheWatcher]

There is no evidence supporting either theory. We get it. Get back to casting.

Oh God I sound like an admin.

[Rockstar]

If they intend for it to connect from Man of Steel, they're really screwing themselves by not having the MoS writers doing the script.

MoS sets up some major storylines; the world's fear of someone superpowered, the Govt VS superpowered beings, and the approach is very grounded through the lense of what if this happened today in our real world.

Justice League would really need to maintain that and build on it if they want it to stem from MoS.

The loss of Chris Nolan from the JL project is troublesome though. MoS is very much his style, in writing, story, characterization and approach.

JL can't be like Green Lantern in tone and approach and still connect with MoS without it being a complete mess.


If they want a connection, they really need to keep the same creative team on both projects.

Your being ridiculous, do you honestly think the writer of JL hasnt had access to the man of steel script or watched the nolan films.

The avengers didnt even necessarily need those easter eggs in the individual films in order to succeed. Which, looking at the box office will tell you, a lot more people showed up to that film than any of the solo films. In fact all those cameo's were nothing more than fan service.

You gave a story point yourself that a writer could build upon, the gov't vs superpowered beings. WB is high on this realistic approach right now, I don't see how that would be any different when it comes to JL.

[Rockstar]

WB is set on it?

More like Chris Nolan was set on it.

WB gave us Green Lantern.

Without Chris or anyone from MoS involved in JL, there's no reason to assume the approach, tone and style will be consistent and connecting.

[solidsnake86]

There is also no reason to say that it wont be, see how that works?

Look no further than the Green Arrow tv show for the "realistic" take. Hollywood has plenty of capable writers. Hell marvel goes through them like a person changes there clothes.

You just have this fixation with it not being possible without Nolan's involvement, when really, anyone has the ability to look at his work, and for lack of a better term, copy it.

You also have no way of knowing whether WB wants to get Goyer or Snyder involved. I could see Snyder jumping at the chance to direct justice league if offered.

[Rockstar]

If they wanted Goyer involved in developing the script, he would have been. Instead they went with Will Beall.

Logically, Goyer would have to be attached on the treatment from the start to develop the approach and conceptualize it, as he did for MoS with Chris.


Look no further than the Green Arrow tv show for the "realistic" take. Hollywood has plenty of capable writers. Hell marvel goes through them like a person changes there clothes.

"Arrow" has nothing to do with anyone at the Warners Film Division. It doesn't prove anything about the studio's preferences.

how? he didn't write mos. david goyer did, and nolan pitched it to wb for him, then jona nolan did a few rewrites before handing the script over to snyder. nolan's a good facilitator of these movies. he was a fan of donner superman, and used that methodology for the dark knight trilogy, so it's fitting that he's godfathering the project. he's even gone on record saying its snyder's project, and he's just there to help.

plus it doesn't really matter about solo movie creative teams being on board jl. avengers didn't do that and they had much success. put the project into the right hands and they'll do it justice(no pun intended :D).

here's my fancast. nothing to write home about, or original, but would be cool if it happened:

superman: henry cavill
batman:josh brolin if bale doesn't do it.
wonder woman: taylor cole
flash:ryan gosling
green lantern:joshua jackson
aquaman:charlie hunnam
martian manhunter: cgi with the voice of lance henriksen

[Rockstar]

Goyer conceptualized the style and approach for MoS with Nolan's guidance, they developed it together

Snyder even had several meeting with Nolan and his wife during the pre-production stages on how to handle this project.


This is why the film looks and feels less like a typical Snyder film and more like Batman Begins.

WB said from day one of this project that Christopher Nolan would 'mentor' the director's approach, and it shows.

[protocida]

This thread took a nosedive, huh?

Anyway, my take on the cast.

Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent.

Michael Fassbender as Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Olga Kurylenko as Wonder Woman/Diana.

Chris Pine as Flash/Barry Allen.

Ryan Reynolds (if sequel) or Bradley Cooper (if reboot) as Green Lantern Hal Jordan.

Thats bull actually. Joss Whedon was not incharge of the screenplay except for Avengers.
They're not screwing themselves as long as they get a good writer like Will Beall to set a tone that would fit into the universe it would be fine.
Obviously if they want to have the film lead into Justice League they would have to make sure it fits the canon in Man of Steel. I don't believe in the in Nolans we trust mentality. Sure it might make WB a little more hesitant about going forth but judging from the reactions of MOS and Green Arrow, its giving WB alot of confidence on the upcoming projects.
Kevin Feige was the only one involved in being the same creative team for avengers and you can tell he had very little input in all the films because all of the films looks so different tonally. Captain America, Thor and Ironman are all vastly different in their tone. Each of the film's director set a specific tone for that film.

And sure why not, give Christopher Nolans all the credit and give Zack Snyder no credit at all.

Just certain few individuals leading the thread into chaos.

[TheWatcher]

AHEMRockstarAHEM :oldrazz:

[batman44]

Lol!!

[Rockstar]

Marvel Studios is structured completely differently than Warner Bros. You can't compare this to them.

MS had a lot of internal connection between their projects and Kevin Feige.


The relationship between Man of Steel and this Justice League project is nowhere close to that. It should be, but it's not. They are two completely separate projects with different creative teams thus far.

It's still early in the game, but the setup isn't promising Unless they gave Beall orders to specifically write Cavill's Superman (in that specific world) and have contact with the MoS creative team, JL will have a different Superman.

[Llama_Shepherd]

We don't know about Cavill. If execs want Cavill, they'll get him.

But Rockstar is right, a report from one of SHH's resident WB insiders, Gillberg, confirmed that, at the time of his report, WB is in no way prepared to pull off a structure cinematic universe, Man of Steel, Justice League and the Batman reboot franchises are all being developed very separately.

[Majik1387]

They're going to use Cavill because they don't want to recast the role again when they already have an actor as said character.q

[sethypants]

Yes but I dont see a need for them to use the same writers for all the movies. If they are developed seperately they will use another Superman. If WB wants Will Beall to use the same Superman, they will pass him MOS's script and ask him to write one that honors the MOS script.

[TheWatcher]

It just doesn't make any sense NOT to use Cavill.

[Rockstar]

You could say the same about them not using Bale and Routh in Justice League: Mortal.

What it came down to was each of their projects were meant to be kept separate.

[Majik1387]

They're not going to do what they tried with Justice League Mortals because of all the backlash it got, part of it was them not using Bale and Routh when they were the established DC heroes on film.

I'm beginning to think that you just don't like WB as a studio unless Nolan is working with them.

[Rockstar]

They're not going to do what they tried with Justice League Mortals because of all the backlash it got, part of it was them not using Bale and Routh when they were the established DC heroes on film..

I'd be surprised if they were even aware of the backlash. I think the bigger backlash was on the weak casting choices they came up with.

It wasn't that Bale was being replaced by another Batman, it was that it would be Armie Hammer of all people.


I'm beginning to think that you just don't like WB as a studio unless Nolan is working with them..

When it comes to their DC properties, absolutely. Aside from Chris, there's no one who knows how to properly handle these characters in cinematic form over there.

Bale and Routh were being replaced by Hammer and Cotrona while the former two's movies were no more than 5 years old. There was more backlash obviously than just the recasting, but their JL casting mindset has definitely changed since then I'm sure. A bad cast can crash a movie if it has horrible word of mouth.
When it comes to their DC properties, absolutely. Aside from Chris, there's no one who knows how to properly handle these characters in cinematic form over there.
See, I knew it. They do just fine with their DC properties. Nolan does not need to be involved for them to be hits.
I think you need to lay off the Nolan Koolaid for a bit.

[batman44]

Lol, Nolan is not the only filmaker capable of doing DC characters justice.

I'm not sure they even thought the new cast was a problem. The film got really far into preproduction before the no Tax-breaks cost killed it.

There's no evidence they've changed their casting mindset.

Even last summer, you had Snyder saying Warners would have Justice League with a separate Superman and doing their own thing. Many outlets reported that.

Perhaps Avengers could have changed things, but realistically Warners isn't Marvel Studios.

Producing Justice League as a separate self-contained project is much easier for them, especially with a targeted 2015 release.


See, I knew it. They do just fine with their DC properties. Nolan does not need to be involved for them to be hits.
I think you need to lay off the Nolan Koolaid for a bit.

Aside from Nolan's projects, the vast majority of their DC stuff in the last decade has turned out to be failures or disapointments.

And 90% of their DC projects or more are still in development hell, and have been for over a decade.


I suppose we have different definitions of 'doing fine.'

[protocida]

We get it, Rockstar.

We. Get. It.

[sethypants]

Snyder also hinted that there could be a cinematic universe starting with MOS. He never denied it.

[Rockstar]

He didn't hint at anything. He said they need to get Superman's house in order first and directed the focus back to MoS.

He basically said 'who knows.'

I don't think even WB has a working plan yet. Didn't Robinov say in an interview last week that they're going to work out the plan next month hopefully? The same interview where they asked him about Nolan's rejection of the JL offer.

[sethypants]

yes. but its likely that they have talked about things and likely will have a cinematic universe. But only if there are good responses for the MOS footage.

[Rockstar]

It's not 'likely.'

It's just what you want to see happen.

[Llama_Shepherd]

None of us here have any actual working knowledge of what is going on at WB. All we know that is concrete so far is that:

As of a few months ago WB is in no shape to make a DCCU (Source: Gillberg).
Robinov wants to change that (Source: Robinov).
Chris Nolan is not attached (Source: C.Nolan).
Man of Steel is a possible start point for a DCCU (Source: Snyder).

EDIT-

Forgot to add, a Batman reboot is in the works styled like the "Arkham" series. (Source: Gillberg)

That's it. Anyone who is saying anything else on the subject is lying. Simple as. Move along now children, and get back to casting.

[shauner111]

Yeah it wasn't hinted at or denied. Just a "we'll see". It could very well happen, and i think it will but now id rather see MOS be seperate with WB pushing JLA to about 2020. It's enough to give Marvel Studios time to deliver a couple of more Avengers movies while wrapping up all their solo films in the process.

Perhaps the smart choice for WB when it comes to setting things up would be to use Cavill and introduce the new Batman, etc in a JLA in a few years. But i hope they keep delaying it. Snyder should do his Man Of Steel trilogy, give Batman a break til around 2016 or 17 and launch his reboot. Do at least 1 WW origin, and 1 Flash origin in the meantime. Then leave the other "heroes" like Martian, Lantern, Aquaman for the team-up.

At the start of the next decade, you introduce the new Superman who is exclusive to Justice League. Leading the team. The rebooted Batman will be established with 1 to 2 films under their belt, in a more fantastical world, so you use him. Wonder Woman and Flash will have had their starting points and can ease their way into the big movie. It gives Hal Jordan a break, you re-cast and bring the others along with him.

Post-JLA you can launch the Green Lantern or Aquaman movies if they wish or if WB doesn't want to put the money out, you keep it exclusive like my suggested Superman.

This way Nolan & Snyder can have their vision of where their Bale/Batman trilogy exists in his own universe. As well as their Cavill/Superman trilogy in his own universe. It won't be a greedy move where they rush a script, trying to bank on Avengers' success right away. Let them have their time in the limelight, DC/WB will have there's.

It would be nice if Genesis Rodriguez was 4-5 inches taller, she would be perfect.
She definitely has the look though, but not the height. Who knows though. Knowing Snyder though, he could pick somebody he already knows and has worked with before.

As if Snider was already chosen by WB to be Justice League's director.

[Lone]

For those who have seen TDKR, it's implied that JGL's character takes up the mantle of Batman. How would you feel if he was Batman in a JL movie?

[protocida]

I'd be fine with it, though I'm sure people would complain.

[Rockstar]

John Blake won't become Batman. Batman is exclusive to Bruce. The ending implied Blake would have to become his own superhero. Possibly Robin.

[protocida]

Batman is not exclusive to Bruce. Several other people have been Batman. Including the character in which Blake is based, Robin.

Besides, the new Bat-signal leaves nothing to the imagination.

[Rockstar]

Within the context of Nolan's world, Batman is exclusive to Bruce. It's very much a reflection of his own psyche and personal struggles. He faces that in TDKR.

Nolan wouldn't have put in that 'Robin' easter egg in if he expected Blake to just be Batman

You are wrong.

John Blake for all intents and purposes, is an amalgamation of all the Robins. Tim Drake's detective skills, Dick Grayson's personality and I personally thought the hot headedness was a nod to Jason Todd.

Bruce specifically states that anyone can be Batman. Hell, Bruce was even giving him tips. And as protocida mentioned, the new Bat-signal backs this up. The final shot with Blake inheriting the Batcave and the Batsuit armory rising further reinforces this. And like Tim Drake, he wants to honor and take up the mantle of his childhood hero, The Batman.

In Nolan's world, there is no other hero than Batman.

It's pretty clear.

[sethypants]

omg omg omg

[combocaz]

For those who have seen TDKR, it's implied that JGL's character takes up the mantle of Batman. How would you feel if he was Batman in a JL movie?

Wouldnt happen and if it did i dont think anyone would take the movie seriously. I certainly wouldnt. Bruce Wayne is batman. Not robin john blake

[Rockstar]

Okay after seeing TDKR twice, I see your point Lone.


But to be fair, it's left completely vague.


Unfortunately the plot elements from TDKR and the evolution of the Bruce character make it incredibly counterproductive for him to return as Batman, as I suspected. Bruce Wayne as Batman is over. He got his happy ending.

[shauner111]

Yeah i think it's vague. But i have a question for you Rockstar, i saw it last night and im wondering something. (It's a little off-topic but whatever). After seeing it a second time..what do you make of the "different" vocals for Bane in the prologue. Because it caught me off guard BIG TIME, and i enjoyed the original prologue vocals from back in December. It was more in line with how Bane sounds for the rest of the movie. So seeing it a second time, you getting used to it?

[HighFivingMF]

If my name were Robin, I wouldn't be going out and fighting crime under the name Robin. That, the bat-signal, and the batcave point to Batman for me.

[Rockstar]

I actually never saw the first prologue.

I didn't mind the voice actually. It seemed so obviously ADR at times though.

I really enjoyed this version of Bane, moreso than the comics.

[shauner111]

Oh ok. I would of enjoyed the prologue voice more if i hadn't seen the original. You should check it out.

The rest of the movie was in my opinion in line with that original voice from December. The new ADR for the first 5 minutes or so was waaay too different. Too clear, the delivery in each spoken word was stretched out a lot more. But i gotta see it again soon. Hopefully it grows on me.

Love his damn voice though. And this version stomps all over the comics in my opinion. If anyones doubting Banes size. Just watch that first scene with his shirt off in TDKR.

[Sub-Zero]

pretty sure nolan has said time and time again, that in his dark knight universe batman is the only hero, meaning there are no superpowered beings assisting him.

that being said it's ridiculous to not have bruce wayne as batman in a justice league movie. he's a founding member according to the modern jl origins. that's like saying we shouldn't have clark as superman, "steel should be the superman of the justice league movie." people say they're ok with someone else under the cowl, but i highly doubt that. nolan would probably say its not a good idea.

superman/clark kent: henry cavill
batman/bruce wayne: josh brolin
wonder woman/diana: taylor cole
the flash/barry allen: ryan gosling
green lantern/hal jordan:joshua jackson or bradley cooper
aquaman/arthur curry/orin:charlie hunnam
martiain manhunter: the voice of lance reddick

We agree on Gosling, Reddick and Cavill. Hunnam would be a good Aquaman, but i think he looks like Green Arrow more. Thats why i lean towards Joel Edgerton. But its still good. I gotta look into what Joshua Jackson has been up to lately for me to decide on that one.

[Project862006]

^edgerton is my hawkman!!


for Aquaman Armie Hammer seem like fine choices he is 26 years old and a good young up and comer
http://latimesphoto.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/hammer.jpg

[psylockolussus]

Armie Hammer would be a great choice for Aquaman :D

Plus he look would sexy in his costume.

[Llama_Shepherd]

Am I the only one who doesn't really see Armie Hammer as a superhero?

[Project862006]

i dont see him as batman or superman lol

but he is perfect for aquaman imo

[combocaz]

I rather he be in That Green Hornet movie, He looks goofy.

[Majik1387]

Am I the only one who doesn't really see Armie Hammer as a superhero?
You are not alone at all.
I rather he be in That Green Hornet movie, He looks goofy.
Even I would rather keep Seth Rogen in the role than have Hammer.

[J'adore]

I think if they use Robin John Blake (JGL) as Batman that would make it easier for them to appeal to the mass market, as non-comic book fans are definitely more appealed to the Nolanverse Batman than any other Batman movie....

[Majik1387]

Never gonna happen. :o

[protocida]

Never say "Never", is what they say.

[Majik1387]

Yet they say it twice. :cwink:

[louiebling$]

And yet we thought Robin would never happen in the nolanverse :o

[Majik1387]

And to technical, he didn't happen. :o

[J'adore]

Umm...

Nolan and Marion went on record to flat out deny Talia was in the film. So....Never say never ;)

[Majik1387]

Umm...

Nolan and Marion went on record to flat out deny Talia was in the film. So....Never say never ;)
He was never Robin in the film. So yeah.

[louiebling$]

Yea your annoying...about every thread I encounter with you in it your annoying as hell and it's literally nauseating reading your posts ..... So your the first to ever go on my ignore list... Haha dueces

[J'adore]

He was never Robin in the film. So yeah.

Well he was called Robin and inherited the bat cave....Nolan didn't just do that for fun, it was obvious that he's going to take up his legacy.

[Majik1387]

Yea your annoying...about every thread I encounter with you in it your annoying as hell and it's literally nauseating reading your posts ..... So your the first to ever go on my ignore list... Haha dueces
Good for you. Enjoy the sheep-minded posters.
Well he was called Robin and inherited the bat cave....Nolan didn't just do that for fun, it was obvious that he's going to take up his legacy.
And Mr. Reese was Riddler. :cwink:

But seriously, JGL is not gonna be Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie.

[J'adore]

I know. I was just saying if they did then it'd let the non-comic book fans easier to identify with it.

[Majik1387]

I don't think you're giving the general audience fans much credit with that though. They still went to BB, TDK, Iron Man 1 and 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, comic movies before them, etc. and they fared just fine.

[Project862006]

You are not alone at all.

Even I would rather keep Seth Rogen in the role than have Hammer.
:dry:wow you got some horrible tats in actors

but we already knew that:woot:

[J'adore]

Lol trust me some people are dumb. Stay away from twitter so you don't have to experience that first hand

[Majik1387]

I'm avoiding Twitter until I'm famous. :oldrazz:

But yeah I know, some audiences can be dumb; after seeing TASM, one of the audience members said now Gwen is going to become Black Cat and marry Peter, and that Carnage was going to be the villain. :dry:

However, I find those audience members to be the minority of the general audience.

[TheWatcher]

Henry Cavill-Superman
Wes Bentley-Batman
Haley Atwell-Wonder Woman
Ryan Reynolds-Green Lantern
Bradley Cooper-The Flash(Barry)
Alexander Skarsgard-Aquaman
Idris Elba-Martian Manhunter

[Sub-Zero]

i hate to defend anyone, especially those that annoy, but people aren't that dumb about comics. everyone knows bruce wayne is batman.

aside from the media, who are morons, the general audience knew that batman begins wasn't connected to the burton/schumacher movies. for us to have a new bruce wayne in jl, and it not be jgl or bale, wouldn't blow everyone's minds. maybe some.

to continue the nolan verse it could work, but not having bruce wayne/batman as a founding member of the justice league is beyond comprehension.

i liked dark knight rises quite a lot, but to me, and to nolan, it existed in its own universe, void of superpowers.

[HighFivingMF]

Henry Cavill-Superman
Wes Bentley-Batman
Haley Atwell-Wonder Woman
Ryan Reynolds-Green Lantern
Bradley Cooper-The Flash(Barry)
Alexander Skarsgard-Aquaman
Idris Elba-Martian Manhunter

Never seen Bentley in anything but I'm down with the rest.

[shauner111]

Justice League needs to be seperate from Nolans universe obviously.

I really want Cavills to be its own thing as well, and for a Batman reboot with a new Bruce to not happen for a very long time. Which means JLA would have to be delayed quite a bit. But i know it's not happening this way. So ill suck it up.

Bentley only works as Batman if they indeed release the movie in a few years with a solo bat film coming directly after. Otherwise even Bentley might end up getting too old for the role.

It seems to me that WB has no bloody idea on what to do with the next Batman. Ive seen TDKR and my opinion on when i would like to see Batman rebooted? It's completely changed. And the ending has made me want a little bit of something else for the character, that i never thought id want.

[combocaz]

I want as many films WB can make. We only live once.

Are you saying u want this to happen still? Because those awful plans were scrapped like 4 years ago.

[TheWatcher]

Never seen Bentley in anything but I'm down with the rest.
You're lucky you've never seen Ghost Rider:oldrazz:

But I have changed a few of suggestions. I did an article over at CBM but I might as well post my changes here.

Zachary Levi as Barry

http://s3.amazonaws.com/pizap_gallery/072312/medium/pizap.com10.386350437998771671343053185948.jpg

Yvonne Strahovski as Wonder Woman



Yes, my love of Chuck had something to do with this. I have always enjoyed the chemistry between Barry and Diana, so this move would help.

As far as Bentley being too old, I have worried about this as well but Bentley does look young for his age. Besides, it has worked for RDJ and he is much older than Bentley.

[combocaz]

Oliver Jackson-Cohen - Flash

[aNarcHy2day]

Ah, TheWatcher!!!

I thought your article at CBM was too SHHish!

Now I know!

[Project862006]

He was never Robin in the film. So yeah.
but he was technically he was just a nolanized realistic take on the character much like bane and scarecrow
name is robin,was an orphan like robin,and took on the bat cave to likely take up his legacy

he was'nt gonna be from the circus in nolan's universe

[RoughNTumble]

hayley atwell is one of my favorite people

but if they wouldn't see jamie alexander at all because she was in thor

they might not give hayley a chance

of course they did cast ryan reynolds as green lantern though

[Majik1387]

He never dressed up in the role, it wasn't a title, it was a first name and a stupid nod, nothing more. Mr. Reese as Riddler has more credibility.
Bane and Scarecrow were more like their respected characters than the over-bastardization of JGL's.

Which makes me sadder that Heath died because they could definitely adapt "A Death In The Family". The only reason for Bruce to return as Batman would be a storyline where Blake is killed. That no matter how hard he tries, the darkness will always come back for him and The Batman is his demon to bear alone.

But that would cheapen everything that happened in TDKR though..I dunno.

[combocaz]

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g58/combocaz/justiceleague.jpg

back on topic.

[FVD]

I just had the idea of Michael C. Hall as Barry Allen/The Flash come up. The guy is in good shape and while he's already playing a Blood Spatter Analyst on Dexter, that in a way is close to being a Crime Scene Investigator I suppose. And he sure knows how to be funny too. :)

http://blog.al.com/entertainment-press-register/2009/08/large_Michael%20CHall.JPG

[protocida]

I don't see it.

[DamionDL]

My picks would probably be:

Superman - Henry Caville

Batman - Jensen Ackles. Based on his Jason Todd in Under the Red Hood I think he could pull off Bruce/Batman.

Wonder Woman - Charisma Carpenter. I honestly think she could pull it off. Although I do understand if she may be too old for some people to consider her.

Hal Jordan - Ryan Reynolds. I think he did good with what he was given.


Barry Allen - Neil Patrick Harris. After someone else in the early pages mentioned him I thought about it and I think he could do a good job. Plus, I think him and Ryan could portray the Hal/Barry friendship quite well.

I'm not sure on an Aquaman or Martian Manhunter and I think they should save Cyborg for a Teen Titans movie.

[J'adore]

I could see Tyler Hoechlin as Batman actually...Well, a bit brushed up on acting but yeah he'd be quite suitable.

[TheWatcher]

I've never seen Hoechlin in anything. His look is fine for Batman.

[Batman Returns]

I really hope they don't make Justice League so white-washed and a predominately sausage fest.

If they can take tips from the FLAWLESS Cartoon Network show about how the team should be, then we're in for the home stretch.

[Doctor Jones]

Who the hell is this Hoechlin and other than his looks, why should he play Batman?

EDIT: Apparently, he played Batman in the Arkham games...

Yes, this makes him qualify to take on a live action version of a major franchise.

[TheWatcher]

Maybe he means mo-cap?

[Artistsean]

John Blake won't become Batman. Batman is exclusive to Bruce. The ending implied Blake would have to become his own superhero. Possibly Robin.
Nolan, at the MTV movie awards last year (I think) said that he wanted to give BRUCE's story an ending. He went out of his way to say that Bruce Wayne was a great character and it was nice to give his story an ending.
Sort of implying without saying anything that Batman's story hasn't ended. And the movie went out of its way to explain that Batman could be anyone. Bruce told Blake that.

Tyler Hoechlin played alongside Tom Hanks in "Road to Perdition" as the character's son. He was also a supporting cast member in "7th Heaven" and "Teen Wolf". Although he is 25 now, most people would argue that he is too young to play Batman. Now, Nightwing one the other hand...

[Llama_Shepherd]

Who could make a good Superman, provided Henry Cavill chooses not to reprise the role?

[Majik1387]

I can tell you who wouldn't, Armie Hammer.

[Llama_Shepherd]

cosigned.

[TheWatcher]

I have a feeling Cavill will definitely be in the JLA movie. It makes too much sense.

[Lobo]

I'm going to say that when it is made, Cavill will most certainly be wearing the red cape. Also as for the roster, I feel that they will go with the DCnU roster which includes Cyborg in the place of Martian Manhunter.

I'm working on my cast now, based on that line up with Cavill and Reynolds reprising their respective roles.

[Aethea]

I just hope that they invest in the characters. I want to be able to care about them and see a personality. I personally do not want Ryan Reynolds as GL. He struggles with serious dialogue. It's hard to believe what he says. I would have liked a Wonder Woman movie before this movie. It's truly sad that WB has not been proficient enough to take that movie off the ground.

[Majik1387]

I don't think Ryan struggles with serious dialogue, I mean he was great in the Amityville Horror remake, and say what you will about horror movies, but he played the role well. I just think he needs a better script and director.

[ThePowerCosmic]

I have a feeling Cavill will definitely be in the JLA movie. It makes too much sense.

Of course it makes sense. They're not going to get a different actor to play Superman in the JL movie. It's just pointless and causes unnecessary confusion.

[Superman Lives]

Cavill is possible. Reynolds is not. His ship as sailed.

[Bruce_Begins]

Who could make a good Superman, provided Henry Cavill chooses not to reprise the role?

I want Cavill to continue as Superman for JL movie, though if he is not allowed then Routh would be a acceptable though some fans will not want that, it would be best to find someone new.

[Majik1387]

They're not going to recast Superman.

[TheWatcher]

Superman-Henry Cavill
Batman-Ryan Gosling(Yes I've been convinced and I haven't even watched Drive yet)
Wonder Woman-Yvonne Strahovski
Green Lantern(Hal)-Ryan Reynolds
The Flash(Barry)-Chris Pine
Aquaman-Alexander Skarsgard
Martian Manhunter-Idris Elba

Cadmus Program
Emil Hamilton-Richard Schiff
Amanda Waller-Angela Bassett
Wade Eiling-J.K. Simmons(I know he voiced him in the show but I didn't know that until after I cast him in this role)

White Martians as the villain,Maxwell Lord/Omacs/Cadmus villains for the sequel, and all of this leads up to Darkseid finishing the trilogy. They could do them normally or they could film them LOTR/Hobbit style.

[Changeling]

White Martians? It worked in the animated series but do people just want to see another alien invasion?

Lol I wouldn't have been convinced of Ryan Gosling as Batman before Drive...

Yvonne Strahovski is a decent Wonder Woman choice, I wouldn't be dissapointed.

I don't particularly want Ryan Reynolds back as Green Lantern, I'd rather have John Stewart or a recast Hal... But if he returns I guess I can deal with it because he's a decent actor, I just would hate for this movie to be associated with that POS Green Lantern movie.

I understood the love for Pine as Hal Jordan before Reynolds was cast, but I don't understand the love for him as Barry Allen, nothing about him to me is Barry Allen esque. Definitely Hal Jordan though, I could see him replacing Reynolds as Hal.

Skarsgard as Aquaman is a great idea. I support it.

I definitely don't want Amanda Waller- at least Angela Basset's version of her- in a JL movie, her scenes were so ****ing horrible in Green Lantern, and like I said I don't want JL to be associated with GL.

[TheWatcher]

I think they would be a good device to introduce MM. The true villains would be Cadmus. It would also involve a young Victor Stone and his father, a scientist for Waller and Eiling.

I don't really want JL associated with GL either. My first draft actually had Pine as Hal and CCH Pounder as Waller. I'm still stumped on Barry.

And your avatar :up:

Very true about MM, i struggle to find a good way of introducing MM without the White Martian.

I'm definitely cool with Victor Stone being in Justice League but idk about wasting precious screen time on his origin.

Pine as Hal is still a great idea, and CCH Pounder is the PERFECT Waller, absolutely perfect.

And Barry is definitely a hard one to cast.

Dude thanks :woot: my favorite band

[TheWatcher]

His origin would be in the second movie with the OMACs and such.

I agree with mostly everything you've said, especially Skarsgard as Aquaman. Gosling as Batman was a choice I've never heard of before, but the more I think about it the more I like the idea. Not sure about Strahovski, because I'm not quite familiar with her work.

I think an Alien invasion in the first movie could work against the JL in a sequel. With two aliens on the team, Superman and J'onn, the public would be wary of them after the White Martian problem. That could enable the Maxwell Lord/Omacs/Cadmus conflict.

[ThePowerCosmic]

GL should just be protecting his sector. Naturally aligning himself with the League because of the White Martian invasion, but not as a full-on member. He has other duties with the Corps, until he'll be needed for the sequel. Maybe John Stewart should be the GL instead, to not be too connected to the GL movie and have to recast Hal so soon.

:up: Agreed with everything you said.

It's too bad Marvel nabbed Anthony Mackie (The Falcon) & Idris Elba (Heimdall) either of them would have been a PERFECT John Stewart

[Changeling]

His origin would be in the second movie with the OMACs and such.
Thanks man!

I could dig that. The first movie's lineup imo should definitely be (in order of importance):
Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Flash
Green Lantern

John Stewart is the way to go though so its not all white people on the team. John and Cyborg could be interesting too, but honestly if WB only gives us one black superhero I'd want it to be John Stewart. Why not have a Justice League movie setup a Teen Titans franchise? Cy is first and foremost a Teen Titans member, and if a TT movie came along I'd be disappointed if Cyborg wasn't part of the team due to being in a JL movie.

-The Watcher, nice sig dude, Alice in Chains is one of the greatest bands of all time hands down :up:

[ThePowerCosmic]

:up: Agreed with everything you said.

I think the GA would rather see John Stewart instead of Hal as well. I like them both, but giving John the spotlight would be great.

In response to your other post: While not technically true, I've always imagined J'onn as a Black character.

[Changeling]

I think they would too! Before GL came out i remember people asking me why he wasn't black. He was such a damn good character in the animated series..

And I imagine J'onn as black too also because of the animated series, the voice actor Carl Lumbly is black.

Lance Reddick for Martian Manhunter!!

[ThePowerCosmic]

I would like Reddick as MM.

I want Brian White as John Stewart

So far...

Superman - Channing Tatum
Batman - Sam Worthington
Wonder Woman - Gina Carano

And with that I destroyed the entire integrity of my post. :p

This is so awesome, I need to think -:o

[Majik1387]

Why does everyone hate Worthington so much to compare him with Tatum and Carano?

[Superman Lives]

Cavill as Superman
Bentley as Batman
Atwell as Wonder Woman
Gyllenhaal as Green Lantern
Cooper as Flash I
Redmayne as Flash II
Edgerton as Aquaman
Hounsou as Martian Manhunter


Cavill, Bentley, Atwell, Gyllenhaal, Cooper, Redmayne, Edgerton, Hounsou.

Good mix of big names and rising film stars in Hollywood.

[Majik1387]

Cooper is your only horrible choice. The rest are good. :up:

[Llama_Shepherd]

I can't ever wrap my head around the Bentley hype.

[Majik1387]

I find him underrated, but he'd be a solid candidate for Bruce/Batman.

[Superman Lives]

Cooper is your only horrible choice. The rest are good. :up:

Well Barry Allen dies anyway. ;)

I just wanted a recognizable name. He's a tough one to cast.

[Project862006]

I can't ever wrap my head around the Bentley hype.
same here this guy was on shortlist for spiderman for a reason

[Superman Lives]

I find him underrated, but he'd be a solid candidate for Bruce/Batman.

He's got potential from a Hollywood standpoint. His new movie "The Time Being" with Frost/Nixon's Frank Langella is debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival in a few weeks. Should be a good representation on whether he can handle a serious lead role.

I know I'll get flamed for this but I think James Van Der Beek would make for a decent Barry Allen

[Majik1387]

I know I'll get flamed for this but I think James Van Der Beek would make for a decent Barry Allen
I actually fully support this. :up:

[Superman Lives]

The thing about Wes Bentley is, I actually prefer him for the Batman reboot franchise over JL. It wouldn't be right to introduce him in JL (2015) to audiences so soon after Bale, it would be jarring.

Batman is the most marketable, popular and recognizable member of JL. I really think WB should just play it safe and cast Jon Hamm as the Batman in this.

He could easily be the 'RDJ' of this cast. He has that likeability factor that audiences will accept him in JL without him being Christian Bale.

[Lobo]

I actually fully support this. :up:

Thanks :)

Here's what I have so far (I will add pics later)

Superman-Henry Cavill

Batman-Still Deciding

Wonder Woman-Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Green Lantern-Ryan Reynolds

The Flash-James Van Der Beek

Aquaman-Liam Hemsworth (I wanted Chris before he got cast as Thor)

Cyborg-Gaius Charles (To me he fits this like Stewart fits Prof X)

[Majik1387]

I just really dislike MEW for WW. She's way too waify, and I don't think any amount of training will help her out.

[Lobo]

I'm not 100%sold on her, but I think she's in the right range to get an audition. I'm thinking Biel will get it this time around. She turned it down last time, and lost out on the roles of Catwoman and Lois, this time it might be her time, like it was/is with Cavill

[Majik1387]

It will all depend on how she's received in the upcoming Total Recall, but I definitely see Biel being a front runner.

[Superman Lives]

Biel is a safe studio choice. I was hoping they'd cast Wonder Woman with the same level of emphasis that went into the Superman casting and get someone who's a close visual match to the role. But because this is an ensemble film, I don't know.

I don't like her for the role and don't think she looks the part facially, but she seems like a name that will certainly be a front runner.

[TheWatcher]

I agree with mostly everything you've said, especially Skarsgard as Aquaman. Gosling as Batman was a choice I've never heard of before, but the more I think about it the more I like the idea. Not sure about Strahovski, because I'm not quite familiar with her work.

I think an Alien invasion in the first movie could work against the JL in a sequel. With two aliens on the team, Superman and J'onn, the public would be wary of them after the White Martian problem. That could enable the Maxwell Lord/Omacs/Cadmus conflict.
I've always thought Arthur should be tall and king-like. Considering, you know, he's a king.

I hadn't thought of that last part before. Good idea!

[LibidoLoca]

Why does everyone hate Worthington so much to compare him with Tatum and Carano?
I don't hate him as much as I used to, but still he's craptastic actor. It was just my way of adding injury to insult.

[DE LA LUNA]

Maybe, but if they are going to cast a well-known actress as Wonder Woman it might as well be Jessica Biel. Another good choice would have been Angelina Jolie a few years back, but not any more.

However, Jessica does resemble Wonder Woman in my opinion. She also has the strong body for the role as well.

Her look is workable with the right hair and makeup. There are other actresses that look the part more, but she is passable. She has the star power and recognition going for her.

Her name on a poster would be recognized by the general public, and easy to market.

[Superman Lives]

If WB is fast-tracking Justice League for 2015, I think they should go with some big established Hollywood names for the leads.

Starring:

Jon Hamm as Batman
Henry Cavill as Superman
Jake Gyllenhaal as Green Lantern
Bradley Cooper as Flash
Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman
Joel Edgerton as Aquaman
Djimon Hounsou as Martian Manhunter


It's their best chance of matching the caliber of the Avengers cast, without a series of solo films preceding JL.

[Bruce_Begins]

No to Jon Hamm, will he be able to do three movie (one JL and Two Bat movies) while bulking up and training and then do fight scenes and stunts ? RDJ as IM is a bad example as IM is 90 % CGI.

Not sure about Biel either, she did not get the Selina Kyle (Catwoman in TDKR) role, besides, the last two women that were cast as WW (Megan Gale and Adrianne Palicki) were 5' 10 " tall.

[Majik1387]

Not sure about Biel either, she did not get the Selina Kyle (Catwoman in TDKR) role,
Neither did Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Blake Lively. It just means she's available.
besides, the last two women that were cast as WW (Megan Gale and Adrianne Palicki) were 5' 10 " tall.
And they never were good candidates. Thinking outside the box is awesome.

[DE LA LUNA]

That simply means that she was not good for Catwoman; Wonder Woman is another story. I think Anne Hathaway did an excellent job as Selina Kyle, but that does not mean that she will be an outstanding Wonder Woman.

[Superman Lives]

Two Bat movies? For all purposes, I'm assuming Justice League will be a franchise on it's own. A JL trilogy.

Hamm can definitely do it. You don't need to be ripped to play Batman.

Bale needed it because his Batman was grounded in our real world and the point of that film was to show how a real man could become that character.

Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney on the other hand.. their builds aren't significantly different than Hamm.

Fight sequences also involve CG and stunt doubles.

You're using the examples from JL:M and the failed TV pilot as good casting? Haha.

[Bruce_Begins]

I don't see Jon Hamm as Batman, he has already declined playing Superman and other comic book Heroes.

" But no, I think that's a young man's game now. I think I've been aged out of that one by now, but that's fine with me. There are plenty of other people available to put on tights."

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1656054/jon-hamm-calls-playing-superman-young-mans-game.jhtml

You're using the examples from JL:M and the failed TV pilot as good casting? Haha.

Yes, the JL:M was a failed attempt but when they did the casting it was a project that had been in the pre production stage, there was a producer, a director a Script and WETA had even designed and created costumes and the casting was completed.

That shows what type of candidate they were looking for WW, same for the TV pilot show, the fact that it was not picked up for season on does not mean that casting was wrong.

[Majik1387]

I don't see Jon Hamm as Btman, he has alredy declined playing Superman and other comic book Heroes.

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1656054/jon-hamm-calls-playing-superman-young-mans-game.jhtml

What other comicbook heroes?

Casting Superman is completely different from casting Batman. There's a huge physical component with Superman, always.


Yes, the JL:M was a failed attempt but when they did the casting it was a project that had been in the pre production stage, there was a producer, a director a Script and WETA had even designed and created costumes and the casting was completed.

By 'failure,' I'm referring to the casting for JL:M as a whole. None of the casting calls they made for JL:M were received well. It was a different time.

That shows what type of candidate they were looking for WW, same for the TV pilot show, the fact that it was not picked up for season on does not mean that casting was wrong.

The show had nothing to do with the Warners Features Division.

Secondly, the pilot demonstrated a complete lack of understanding about how to handle Wonder Woman. That is why it's a failure. The casting for that project is in alignment with that lack of understanding.

The studio wanted Biel (badly) for Wonder Woman before. She turned them down because the script showed a misunderstanding of the character.

I just don't see the love and support Jon Hamm and Jessica Biel get among the fans, If they get cast, I guess some will be happy but I won't be seeing any movie with them, It would be the first time I did not go to a movie featuring Batman.

Edit: If Jon Hamm and Jessica Biel are soo good, then why they are not in any DC or Marvel movies ? yeah..

I remember a rumor a while back that Biel tested for a role in Man of Steel. Everyone assumed at the time that it was Lois Lane (and it probably was) but... with the rumors of a Wonder Woman cameo in MOS cropping up and the hints that the film will provide a lead-in to a JL movie... perhaps Biel was secretly cast as WW.

I know it's a long shot, but it is possible.

Biel almost was, she dropped out on her end, she wasn't dropped by WB.
Hamm apparently doesn't want to be a superhero, that's why he isn't in DC or Marvel movies.

Now come on, think of a better mindframe than that. Going by that I can say right back to you why Gosling or Jolie or any other of the numerous fancasted actors aren't in DC or Marvel movies.

I'm confident she's on the backburner in preparation for a WW movie, unless they find another actress they feel is better for the part.

Hamm and Biel will get general audience support, that's the biggest factor. They are popular.

It's a tough sell to introduce a new Batman in 2015's JL to audiences so soon after Bale. The film's best bet is to get someone like Hamm who would be well accepted by the GA, and play it safe. He could be the 'RDJ' of this film.

Biel was actually just cast in The Wolverine as the main villain, but she recently turned it down due to scheduling.

I don't think there's any validity to those 'rumors.' Didn't they come from CBN or one of those shady sites that makes everything up?

[Bruce_Begins]

Question: Would you ever consider playing a female super hero?
Jessica Biel: That would be great, where are they, where is that one, they’re really hard to find.

Question:What about Wonder Woman?
Jessica Biel: I think Wonder Woman is a tough one, I think people have had a really hard time adapting it.

Question: Is there a character in the back of your head you wouldn’t mind playing?
Jessica Biel: No because I really don’t know much about comic books. I know the classic characters but I think the female characters you are talking about are probably a little bit more obscure.

OK, Can you provide any proof that WB are thinking about Biel for WW as you speak about their "actions" ?

[Superman Lives]

WB wanted Biel. Biel was the one who turned down WB on her end. She wasn't pleased with how halfassed WB were handling the character.

But she said this in a recent interview:

"If Wonder Woman had the right script and it was really powerful and emotional and interesting, I would be into that kind of thing," she said. "I feel that sometimes the character development gets thrown to the wayside in those movies, and I’m really interested in that kind of thing … So if both the elements could be there — the physicality and a real developed character, whether it’s a Wonder Woman thing or a Justice League thing — I’m open to it."

WB likely thinks otherwise. There aren't many other recognizable names that would fit this role.

If Biel becomes WW, I pray her acting skills improve.

She would basically be the 'Scarlett Johansson' of this movie. She's sufficient, and really in the same talent bracket as ScarJo.

But Wonder Woman is much more iconic character than Black Widow, nobody will be angry if Marvel fail to portray Black Widow accurately not so with Wonder Woman, all critics, fans and general audience will start giving angry reactions if something is not done correctly, that includes casting.

[Bruce_Begins]

As my final comments on this particular subject matter, I say -

Hell No to Jon Hamm as batman and Hell No toJessica Biel as Wonder Woman.

I just cannot accept either of them, no matter what arguments you make, if they do cast either I will just avoid that movie.

You're exaggerating big time. Biel is actually a popular choice for Wonder Woman on the web with general audiences.

If anything will fail to portray the character 'correctly,' it would be the script. According to Jaimie Alexander when she turned down WW and joined Marvel, WB/DC basically portrayed WW as the T+A of the film. WW is a character the studio doesn't know how to handle yet.


Honestly, if they are able to portray WW as respectable as ScarJo's Black Widow, I'd be fine with that.

I agree, especially in regard to Hamm. He's old and looks even older, and has already said that superheroes should be played by younger men than himself. I wouldn't boycott any Batman movie he was the star of, but I'm also tired of seeing his name brought up here all the time.

You should at least be humble enough to give it a chance. Don't be so closed minded, because they could surprise you. Remember, this is just a movie and you should enjoy it - don't take any personal grudges against actors/actresses.

I never thought about her. I think she has the right face for Wonder Woman, and she could get into shape if she wanted to for the part. However, she was kind of whiny in Prince of Persia. I'd give her a chance however.

Again, he said that with regards to a Superman question specifically.

There are actors older than him playing superheroes. Not to mention Batman wears a mask.

I think the reason his name is brought up so often here is that he's the safest choice to replace Bale so soon after TDKR.


Justice League (2015) will have no rebooted Batman solo films leading into it, and will introduce this new Batman within JL instead. It needs to be someone audiences can immediately connect with, otherwise it would be a very jarring transition.

He can do it. Jeremy Renner is the same age as John Hamm and is kicking ass as Hawkeye, and will be for several more years.

I've seen her in Clash of the Titans also and she came off as very 'sweet' and girly. She's almost like Mary Elizabeth Winstead in that regard.

She doesn't strike me as Wonder Woman material, but she's well cast for the love interest roles she usually plays.

[LibidoLoca]

Are you using The Avengers cast names for comparisons or is that how you want to cast this film, or both?

[Superman Lives]

I'm using it for casting purposes, for the sake of building a JL cast on par with the caliber of Marvel's Avengers cast.

IMO they should go with established Hollywood actors who are rising in popularity right now.

[TheWatcher]

I think our Batman needs to be younger so we can build a universe around him. I know RDJ is getting old but he looks much younger, Hamm doesn't. Besides that I love it.

[Superman Lives]

I'd rather keep this Batman self contained in Justice League, and reboot the solo Batman franchise as a separate thing years from now.

It's too soon to relaunch the solo Batman films right now. Whenever it does happen I want them to be self-contained and of the same grounded Oscar quality of Chris' films.

[Llama_Shepherd]

If Batman isn't connected, I don't want Superman to be connected. In fact, I'd rather they wait until after Justice League is cancelled/flopped/successfully created a trilogy before they reboot Batman.

[Superman Lives]

Yeah Batman is the hottest DC property at Warners. Thanks to Nolan it really transcended the comicbook genre into an Oscar-worthy motion picture series.

Batman deserves it's own separate new film series, but it's way too soon for that now.

Superman? We'll see how financially successful Man of Steel is. It's iffy. It has a lot going against it with that June release date. With it's inevitable 200+ Mil budget, I hope it doesn't underperform below WB's expectations... but it's possible.

[The Vafrous]

I'm a huge Batman fan, so naturally I put more thought into casting him.
This is my cast:

Superman
-Alexander Skarsgaard: with more muscle and dyed hair (unless they decide to use MOS to set up the JLA movie)

Batman
Fassbender and Hardy are perfect for this role, but obviously they're unlikely to get it. Joe Manganiello recently expressed interest in the role, but I think that he is better suited as Hawkman or Bane or whatever.
-Logan Marshall Green: He's an intense actor, who's name you'll obviously see more often after starring in Prometheus
-Garrett Hedlund: He's a great actor, just watch Death Sentence
-Shane West: Great actor, who happens to have a voice simmilar to Kevin Conroys
-Luke Evans: Great actor, who's been suggested like a million times on here (for a good reason). He'd have to bulk up like hell though
-Desmond Harrington: He plays Quinn on Dexter, and he appeared in TDKR.

Wonder Woman
-Charlotte Riley: She was great in The Take and Wuthering Heights, with her husband Tom Hardy. She'll obviously have to put on some weight.
-Berenice
Marlohe: She looks the part, but I'll have to wait to see Skyfall to make up my mind
-Gemma Arterton

The Flash
-Joel Kinnaman
: He's a great up and coming actor.
-Lee Pace: If he isn't going to be used as Ray Palmer, he should be cast in this role. The guys a great actor...

Aquaman
-Joe Edgerton: Another great up and comer, who would play the scruffy Aquaman to perfection. Hell, I even considered him for Batman

Green Lantern (Hal)
-Chris Pine: Do I need to explain myself?
-Channing Tatum: I know if going to get pissed on for this, but he's acting has gotten better, I think...

Martian Manhunter:
-Anthony Mackie or Benedict Cumberbatch: Honestly, both of these guys are great actors. If Mackie isn't accepted as MM, he should be cast as John Stewart

Green Arrow (the goatee is crucial)
-Charlie Hunnam: I actually considered this guy for Batman. He's also an up and coming actor, who's a great actor (you'll know this if you've watched SOA)
-Travis Fimmel: He was great in The Beast. He's next going to be seen alongside Gabriel Byrne in some viking tv show

I'm still thinking about who to cast as Black Canary,
both the Hawks etc...

Sorry for not putting up pictures, I'm using my phone...

[Superman Lives]

Anthony Mackie is taken by Marvel. Isn't he the Falcon?

Either way he'd be completely wrong for MM.


Luke Evans as Batman is good though. He's bound to skyrocket in popularity from the upcoming Hobbit film trilogy. He wouldn't need to bulk up that much. Just give him armor like Keaton.

Mackie hasn't officially cast him yet, so who knows...

[ThePowerCosmic]

Still, he doesn't seem like a good fit for MM or John Stewart.

Sigh, if only. :(

Definitely not for MM. MM should be an older mentor type. Think Morpheus in the Matrix.


And John Stewart isn't in this script, our GL for Justice League is Hal.

[LibidoLoca]

Which reminds I wanted Laurence Fishburne for MM, before he became Perry White.

[Project862006]

i know john is'nt in the script but i would prefer it since to GA john stewart is GL and it would give some diversity to the main cast

[Eddie Dean]

When did we get this info?

[Majik1387]

We didn't.

[LibidoLoca]

So it's just conjecture?

[HighFivingMF]

So it's just conjecture?

I asked El Mayimbe on Latino Review, who has a copy of the treatment, who the Green Lantern was. It's Hal.

[HighFivingMF]

to GA john stewart is GL

Not anymore. Despite the movie's underperforming, more people still saw the movie than ever saw the Justice League cartoon. Plus, Hal's been in everything lately.

Oh, okay then.

[TheWatcher]

I would definitely get behind Arterton.


Oh, I would also support her playing Wonder Woman, too.

[MarvelKnight]

Whether or not they use RR as Hal and/or keep it connected to GL, I would hope Bassett comes back as Waller.

I'd like to see John Slattery play Agent Faraday.
