and thank you kindly flickchick

Not to be a dick but, likewise for some of your choices. Although I do like your Brainiac, Superman, and Jor-El (Which is pretty much a given at this point since the choices for Kal & Jor-El are actually cast). Different strokes for different folks.

[TheWatcher]

^ I love them except for Dick Grayson. He just isn't intimidating enough IMO.

What about Aaron Johnson?(Kick-Ass, Savages)
He's 22, 5'11 and has a good look for a 19 yr old Robin/Nightwing.

 

[Jordacar]

My Batman TV-show cast:

You're telling me Kick-Ass is more intimidating than this guy?:

[Webley]

I think Ellen Page would make a good Donna Troy.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

Omari Hardwick: J'onn J'onzz/John Jones/The Martian Manhunter

Nate Parker: John Stewart/Green Lantern

I can't say I know anything about these two, so idk if you cast them in those role based on their acting or something (that makes them more fitting for those roles)

but (based on looks alone) I'd switch them

 

[Artistsean]

Shawn Ashmore as Jericho of the Teen Titans

 

[DrCosmic]

Hmmm...

So, a WW movie:

Jamie Alexander as Princess Diana, Wonder Woman

There are better actresses, I'm sure, and even more attractive ones, but as far as having a solid choice, I think Jamie brings the most to the table, and would be most enthusiastic to do it. She is quite attractive, she does action, and she's a pretty good actress, with some respectable wide-ranging experience.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Steve Trevor, Air Force Intelligence

You want to put Diana across from a male lead who is not only uber-talented, but makes the ladies swoon, and is of appropriate age. That pretty much brings us to Gyllenhaal. He's an okay lead by himself, but he needs a love interest to play off of to shine, really, and he'll always have that here, as he'll double as the buddy/sidekick as well as the love interest.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Ares, the God of War

Now the natural inclination would be to go with a character actor who does a lot of bad guys, and that's usually the easiest way to go. But, every once in a while you can get someone who is a viable leading man themselves, like Liam Nesson, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy, to play your baddie and it takes things to a brand new level. DiCaprio is obviously talented, and can definitely play dark, and with Django Unchained, he's started doing villain roles now. Playing the ultimate Warlord would be nice for all involved.

Lucy Lawless as Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons

I understand everyone wants everyone here, from 'supposed to be ageless' 30 year olds to 60 year olds that have played Diana before, but honestly... Lucy Lawless is an incredible actress, who is hot, who played a character that might as well have been Diana before, she's still a popular actress and she's used to working in the ancient-y era. No disrespect to anyone else, but I have a great deal of trouble imagining anyone else doing a better job that Lawless.

Other Assorted Castings:
Young/Teenage Diana: Ariel Winter (Modern Family)
Chancellor Phillipus: Gina Torres (Firefly, Suits)
General Artemis: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy, Ringer)
Etta Candy: Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray, Huge)
Julia Kapetalis: Lynda Carter (70's Wonder Woman)
General Phil Darnell: James Cromwell
Detective Ed Indelicato: Nathan Fillion
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love: Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Firefly)

Cate Blanchett as Baronness Paula Von Gunther

If a sequel for WW ever comes around you want a villain who captivates, who elevates the character beyond what the writer or director could hope for. Cate is that person, every day of the week, every set she steps on. She's young enough to give Diana a run for her money on pure attractiveness but old enough to seem superior intellectually and experientially. Blanchett herself takes a wide variety of roles, so there's little doubt that she'd get in on a quality superhero script. She is of such importance that the other villains in the film are basically her pawns/supporting cast.

Other Wondy2 Castings:
Trevor "Tre" Barnes: Laz Alonso (Breakout Kings, Jumping the Broom, Avatar(Tsu'tey))
Barbara Minerva, Museum Curator: Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil Series, Fifth Element)
Diana Troy, Dark Angel/Wondergirl: Ariel Winter
Captain Nazi: someone almost purely physical, say, Jason David Frank (UFC fighter, Power Rangers)
US President Alvarez: Edward James Olmos
Hades, Lord of the Underworld: Benedict Cumberbauch

Charlize Theron as Circe

At the risk of her playing one too many wicked witches, Theron is really good, and she's definitely up for superhero movies, and she definitely would bring this home in a big way.

Milla Jovovich as Cheetah

Cheetah has some menace in her, and some cunning intelligence, but mainly, this is a very physical part for an actress with a very intense physicality. That's Milla, and always has been. Perhaps someone else will get in the female action game soon, but for now, Milla has it down to a science.

 

[Young Superman]

If a Teen Titans/Young Justice move was made 8-10 years ago, Kaley Cuoco would have made a great Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark).

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

Kevin Conroy as bruce wayne in live adaptation of Batman Beyond. boom.

 

[Lobo]

The Question-Christopher Gorham

Batman-Ian Somerhalder (I know people will say he is better for Nightwing, but if the rumor was true that the next Batman film would start off with him already being in his second year, I think Ian could do well)

Wonder Woman-Lauren Cohan

Hawkgirl-Erin Cummings

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

i like Patrick wilson for barry allen.

and

Dennis Haysbert for MMH

 

[Boosted]

Superman: Henry Cavill

Batman/Flash: Chris Pine

Flash/Batman: Ryan Gosling

Batman: Armie Hammer

Green Lantern: Idris Elba

Aquaman: Taylor Kitsch

 

[Young Superman]

Elizabeth Gillies for Wonder Girl {Donna Troy}

 

[Young Superman]

How about Mila Kunis as Zatanna?

 

[TheWatcher]

I can dig it.

 

[TheWatcher]

I want him as Jim Gordon but what about Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor?
