Why did you say 'no' to all of my suggestions when we picked the same person for Aquaman?

I didn't mean to say no to all of them just 99.9% lol. I like who you picked for Aquaman, but also think a british actor would do good in the role.

As for Worthington I can't really see him as anyone, but maybe aqua man, Green arrow, or possibly Batman....possibly.

I like Timothy Olyphant, he has grown on me. However, I would rather he play a villain, maybe Joker. He always came off as Jokerish to me until I saw him in Justified.

[Jake Cassidy]

Charlie Hunnam is British.

I really can't see Worthington as any character.

Olyphant would be an awesome Lex, imo.

[Midnight Black]

Wow, Charlie's British? I didn't know that. He pulls off the American accent really well on SoA and his mannerisms are really convincing.

I really can't see Worthington as anyone either, but if I had to pick those would be my choices.

Olyphant would make a great Lex and was actually a choice I threw out years ago before MOS was even announced lol.

I think Olyphant would make a great Lex or Joker, dude was crazy early in his career.

I always thought Billy Zane would make the best Lex, but now that he is getting older I think Olyphant would be best at taking the role.

As far as Batman goes google all my suggestions, if you care to. Karl Urban is my first choice. Someone mentioned Anson Mount from Hell on Wheels on the boards and since then he has been a favorite of mine; he's good on that show. Colin Egglesfield would be my third choice cause he does have the look. Justin Bruenig has the build and height, but if they have Cavill who is 6'1-6'3 with boots plays Supes in a JL movie then Justin would be too tall to play Bats.

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, Mount would be good too. He's great in 'Hell on Wheels'.

My favourite pick for Batman is Michael Fassbender, but I've come to accept that, unfortunately, it's never gonna happen. Same with Jaimie Alexander as Wonder Woman.

[Jake Cassidy]

Other suggestions, which I've probably done a couple of times before already :

Wonder Woman - Lauren Cohan


Flash - Ryan Kwanten

[Midnight Black]

I could see Ryan as Barry Allen. I see we are both going for that young hipster type of guy for Barry Allen Flash. So really anyone of that type works for me.

I don't like Lauren's mouth when she talks. Although I like her on TWD, I still don't like her mouth lol. Weird of me I know.

Google Susan Ward, Jenna Dewan, and Kim Smith. Out of the three I like Susan Ward the best.

I agree with you on Jaime Alexander though and feel your pain lol. How about Hayley Atwell that was in Capt. America TFA

I know who they are and I don't like any of them for WW.

Atwell is a really good choice.

[Jake Cassidy]

Hal Jordan - Logan Marshall-Green


Black Canary - Katheryn Winnick


J'onn J'onzz - Lance Reddick

[Midnight Black]

Not bad choices. Lance Reddick isn't that tall though and I want a big Martian Manhunter; however, I do like him as an actor and he does have that demeanor of J'onn.

I like Susan Ward Girl looks good and deserves a big break.

[Jake Cassidy]

Lance Reddick is 6'4". Henry Cavill is 6'1". If they were in the same movie it'd work out fine. He's also got an awesome voice for J'onn.

Katheryn Winnick is absolutely perfect for Black Canary. I'm going to keep saying it until it happens.

No he wouldn't Movie magic would be used to make Cavill look taller.

He looks more like Bruce Wayne in that picture.

Wow, this is twice in one night lol. Lance is 6'4? He doesn't even look it, probably cause he has a small frame. Well then I think he would do good although he is a bit on the skinny naturally and a bit old to be building muscle, but they may go the Doug Jones route and make him look muscular through prosthetics. His voice is awesome for the role though.

Winnick would make a good Black Canary.

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, even if it's just his voice, it would be awesome.

Perfect. Not good. Perfect.

[Midnight Black]

Well if she get's a perfect then my choices for Batman, John GL, and Susan Ward as Wonder Woman are perfect. Not good. Perfect.

[Jake Cassidy]

OK. Maybe not perfect, but it is 1 of the suggestions that most people around here seem to agree on.

Why didn't I pick up on this before? Hipster? He's not a hipster. He's ****ing Australian. We don't have ****ing hipsters.

If you didn't know he was an Aussie, there's 3 things I taught you today.

[Jake Cassidy]

Another suggestion for Wonder Woman:

Jessica Pare

Oh boy! This thread just went malignant!

Some really good suggestions out there... best of which has to be Logan Marshall Green for Hal...




He just works perfectly in that formula DC are usually looking to employ in there castings... Actors on their way up surrounded by proven actors! TDK, MoS... did it... admittedly GL didn't and paid the prize but that wasn't necessarily because they didn't follow the "formula"... I still love to see Ryan Reynolds return. But Logan Green is a beautiful suggestion and has made my no. 2 for Hal (To be truthful and at the risk of sounding vain, I thought of him sometime ago and then he slipped out of my mind and I could never remembered to share).

I'd prefer "European sense of Aristocracy" and suggest Bean's co-star on GoT-Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.


I know fanboys would kill me for that, but I think Giancarlo Esposito would make an excellent Lex Luthor!



Though I still think my one-time favourite for the role- Chris Meloni- has indeed bagged that role... speculation on my part, don't go around trying to find any substance in this...in the DC Universe.

I don't particularly like any of the WW suggestions though.

Reddick has always been an awesome fit for MM. My first choice right now is Lennie James. Though he may indeed be a tad short for the role!



(Its not really my fault I'm choosing TWD stars. Its just a coincidence!)

[J'adore]

Speaking of Canary...how would you feel if she showed up in the movie? After all, in the second original JL line up, they added Dinah so that Wonder Woman wasn't the sole female. Who knows if they'll do that again? (Even though Zatanna seems to fill that role now)

If so then yes, Katheryn Winnick. Or Mini Anden.

Aussies can be hipsters, it's just they think they are too cool to call themselves that lol.

I guess you did teach me three things. I think Logan Marshall would be good in a comic film, not sure JL though. Was he one of the scientists in Prometheus? If so, I hated his character, he was so stupid as a scientist.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is also not a bad choice for Aquaman. "European sense of aristocracy" lol, I guess.

[DRCDarkKnight]

Ok just to clarify flash is a forensice scientist right? Like CSI? So how would justin timberlake be a good fit for that? Green Lantern is military? Yes? sorry I'm not as caught up as i should be. So isnt he someone that should be able to have an aura of authority.... like a military trained man. And Wonder Woman is Woman. By definition an amazon is a tall aggressive strong willed woman. So she should have a strong facial structure not soft features. More Lucy Lawless less Katy Perry types. And cyborg is high school athlete right. So he would be pretty young maybe freshman in college age. Larger build not talk with a slender muscular build. So i can better understand would you guys/girls say these are pretty good assumptions of the character types?
