Here are some ideas if Affleck signs on for the directing gig. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling they're going to recast GL if they use him (either use John or recast Hal), since that movie was hated by so many people. I liked it, but I know I'm in the minority.

Superman: Henry Cavill
Batman: Tyler Hoechlin
Wonder Woman: Eva Green
The Flash: Mark-Paul Gossalaar
GL John Stewart: Brian White
GL Hal Jordan: Sullivan Stapleton
Aquaman: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Martian Manhunter: Giancarlo Esposito
Maxwell Lord: Ben Affleck
Lex Luthor: Jon Hamm
Despero: Christopher Heyerdahl

Superman: Henry Cavill
Good choice, I can see it
Batman: Tyler Hoechlin

Wonder Woman: Eva Green
Ehh... I can't really see it but Eva is always good
The Flash: Mark-Paul Gossalaar
No. Just no.
GL John Stewart: Brian White
I dig this
GL Hal Jordan: Sullivan Stapleton
Dunno who that is... and we need recognizable faces for this project imo
Aquaman: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Kickass choice
Martian Manhunter: Giancarlo Esposito
Kinda short but that can be changed, good choice
Maxwell Lord: Ben Affleck
I guess i can see it
Lex Luthor: Jon Hamm
Have you seen that video where Jon Hamm plays Luthor? Anyways he could do it but he looks dead on Bruce Wayne
Despero: Christopher Heyerdahl
Dont know him

My feedback in bold

Rowsdower! · 08-08-2012, 09:36 PM

Thanks for the feedback. I'll post some photos. Hoechlin might not be any good, I'm not sure... I've only seen him in Road to Perdition and Hall Pass, but he looks dead on for a young Bruce Wayne. Stapleton is on Strike Back and will be appearing in the 300 sequel... he plays a very convincing Han Solo type on SB and could look like Hal. Heyerdahl is on Hell on Wheels (and delivers probably the best performance among a very strong cast) and also appeared on True Blood recently.

shauner111 · 08-08-2012, 09:37 PM

Eva Green and Jessica Biel are SOOOO wrong for Wonder Woman.

HighFivingMF · 08-08-2012, 09:38 PM

I suggested Gus for Martian Manhunter a while back. He just seems so perfect!

LibidoLoca · 08-08-2012, 09:38 PM

Zack Morris as The Flash? Well he did have the ability to freeze time, maybe it was just him going so fast everyone else seemed frozen.

I'll think about it.

Obviously I love the Superman.
With Batman, if they can fix Tyler's eyebrows, I'll be happy.
Hell no to Green, horrible choice for the role; especially since Green dislikes physically demanding roles.
I'm good with the Flash choice, though I much prefer him to be Hank Pym/Ant Man at Marvel Studios.
I'm good with the John Stewart suggestion, do not like the Hal Jordan recast at all.
Don't really know Nikolaj, but visually not how I'd see Aquaman.
Not digging MM suggestion.
I'd actually be okay with Affleck as Maxwell, but again, I don't see him taking a part in the movie should he be hired as director.
I like Hamm as Luthor, but I prefer him as Batman.
I'm good with the Despero suggestion.

His face would be under a mask for most of the time if that's any consolation.

Changeling · 08-08-2012, 09:47 PM

Tyler Hoechlin is WAY too young for Batman. Nightwing maaaaybe...

I thought that too, but I also thought that whoever they'd cast as Batman in JL would most likely be the one playing the role in the reboot.

As for his age, I don't think it'd be an issue honestly, he's only 4 years younger than our Superman.

Changeling · 08-08-2012, 09:48 PM

Eddie Dean- you always have good casts too, I remember loving your casting sheet for Superman before Cavill was cast, you had Jon Hamm as Superman. If you have the link to that, link me dude

Thats the thing tho, I want my Superman younger than Batman, I like that dynamic way better with Batman being around way longer than Superman so that hes a bitter veteran kinda.

Cavill and Hamm dammit!!!

Your Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash and Hal all do not seem like good fits I'd be upset if they were cast... Sorry just being honest

Changeling · 08-08-2012, 09:57 PM

I feel like Flash is really hard to cast. I do really like the choice of Aaron Paul as Barry Allen... He might be too badass to be a smart forensic scientist

lol Well seeing how close in age they are, Cavill can still act as the younger of the two.

Changeling · 08-08-2012, 10:00 PM

Yeah I guess it just depends on how its portrayed but that guy looks pretty young imo, and if the audience is jumping into a new Batman dont we need a recognizable face under tha mask? Christian Bale to Tyler Hoechlin...leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

shauner111 · 08-08-2012, 10:02 PM

Cavill and Hamm would actually be pretty intense.

Majik1387 · 08-08-2012, 10:05 PM

When Cavill was cast, I originally wanted Hamm to play Jor El, but he's still my dream choice for an older established Batman for a reboot.

TheWatcher · 08-08-2012, 10:08 PM

Hamm is just too old. You can compare the situation to Marvels casting of RDJ but Iron Man does not have a physical component to the role. All RDJ has to do is stay in normal shape. Batman has to be around peak physical condition. You can't ask a 41 year old man to do that for the next 6-8 years.

shauner111 · 08-08-2012, 10:11 PM

Hamm or Fassbender announced for Batman would make me do jumping jacks from my house through the next 4 blocks.

Wes Bentley wouldnt make me jump for joy but it's a verrrry solid choice. And wouldnt surprise me.

Majik1387 · 08-08-2012, 10:12 PM

I'm not gonna get in the age debate or the RDJ comparison, that's overdone around here. Simply put, I want an older established Batman.
I can deal with another younger Batman, but Im over the origin and mopeyness of the character.

Despite their horrible movies, Kilmer and Clooney were both mid-30's when they were cast, and in the non-campy sections(as few as there were), they did just fine.

Michael Keaton was 38 when he first played Batman.

Jon Hamm isnt some cripple, hes 41... He can do this role
