The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 2

[Majik1387]

Ah, missed that link; thought it was referring back to the crappy suggestion of JGL in JL.

[Project862006]

they should of done justice league in the 1970's

WW


superman


green lantern


Batman

[Airwings]

^this... and Redford or Moore for Aquaman.

[Deathstroke]

Funny how all the names auditioning for Marvel (see the mainpage) were suggested in this thread for DC characters.

[TheWatcher]

They should have done it in the 80s.

Reeve,Keaton,Carter,Tom Cruise as Hal, and Matthew Broderick as Barry.

[J'adore]

Saw this suggestion and thought I'd share. It seems obvious this is the roster they are campaigning for.

That would have been awesome.

[Edguy]

Hope they save Aquaman for later, and Cyborg.. I hadn't really even heard about him before I read the first issues of new 52 JL, and joined this forum.. And damn, those KIAs in the the link above were awesome! Gi'mme that Batman one!

Really!? Cyborg's been around for years!!!

[shauner111]

Yeah he's been around since the 80's but the first time i heard of him was indeed the new 52 Justice League lineup. i never payed attention to Teen Titans or anything like that beforehand.

Aquaman needs to be saved for later, even though i can care less if he ever appears. My opinion has changed a little for him but im not sure if ill ever care about the character until a solo movie wins me over. And that's a big maybe. A great director, great actor in the lead, huge budget, a more serious script and a MOS esque update on the suit...then my opinion might do a '180'. But im not sure i trust WB in doing that. And the comic or animated versions of the character do nothing for me personally.

What actually happened to Martian Manhunter in the new 52?

[UmbilicalNoose]

The team will be Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Hal Jordan, Cyborg, and MAYBE Aquaman. Id rather have Aquaman than Cyborg though.

[DRCDarkKnight]

Read an article that says MOS will lead into JL movie (says Zach Snyder). And it will only consist of Batman Superman and Wonder Woman. He said that he is not resposible for where JL goes with his storyline but it will definitely begin in MOS.

You can't have a team full of white people. Avengers was bad enough!

That's what Martian Manhunter is for, if necessary. I'd like John Stewart over Hal Jordan, but sigh, too unlikely.

So are you saying its fine to show an inaccurate representation of the modern world based on a work of fiction?

[Majik1387]

I'm saying it's fine to show an accurate presentation of the comics of which they're based.

[UmbilicalNoose]

Superman Henry Cavill Batman Michael Fassbender Wonder Woman Emily Blunt Flash Joshua Jackson Aquaman Alexander Skarsgard

Boo!!! How dare they make a film about pre-existing visually based characters and make them look like said pre-existing visual characters.

But seriously if an actor happens to be best for a role (like Phil Morris as MM), cast them, don't try to force "diversity". Because then it's not diversity.

How does one know who exactly would be best for the role?

[NosfeRomas]

Doug Jones, i think, is perfect for MM. Cast him and have the voice done by a Black Voice Actor if you picture MM as a Black guy.

Cyborg is a good character and a good choice because he got a lot more popular with the New 52 but the Robocop Remake is coming out and the GA will complain like always about how Cyborg is a Ripoff of Robocop.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

There are plenty of Black Superheroes, i hate when people ***** about movies being racist for not having a black or an asian guy in them. Teams need ethnical diversity but not for the sake of being pseudo politicaly correct, but for the sake of being awesome and accurate to the source material. If people circa 2012 (almost 2013) feel bad or offended by the absence of other than white characters then wtf !

Any actor who can embody the roles characteristics and traits without necessarily looking like them.
