[OwlBoy]

My Superman cast

Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman - Matthew Bomer
Lois Lane - Rashida Jones
Lex Luthor - Toby Stephens
Johnathan Kent - Chris Cooper
Martha Kent - Imelda Staunton
Jor-El - Tim Daly
Lara Lor-Van - Elizabeth Mitchell
Jimmy Olsen - Kevin McHale
Perry White - Beau Bridges
Kara Zor-El/Linda Lang/Supergirl - Ashley Benson
Dr. John Henry Irons/Steel III - Henry Simmons
General Zod - Henry Cavill
Vril Dox/Brainiac I - Jason Issacs
Lana Lang - Joanna Garcia
Pete Ross - TJ Thyne

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'd replace Toby Stephens with, either, Damian Lewis or Michael Fassbender. Other than that, good job.

 

[Webhead2006]

not a bad listing.

Great casting expect for Matthew Bomer. He's too short for Kal-El.

 

[OwlBoy]

He's 5'11.5" only a half inch shorter than Dean Cain

 

[Mr. Earle]

He looked tiny in Chuck.

 

[OwlBoy]

Zachary Levi and Adam Baldwin are both 6'4" of course he's going to look tiny compared to them

 

[Young Superman]

He's 5'11.5" only a half inch shorter than Dean Cain

But quite a few of the people on the show seemed to tower over Cain. Which is bad when your supposed to be Superman and the same thing would happen to Bomer. IMO the next actor to play Superman should be no shorter then 6'2" and no taller then 6'4".

 

[Young Superman]

Just wondering who would you guys cast as Zatanna?

 

[Nightwing 52]

Just wondering who would you guys cast as Zatanna?

Either Stana Katic or Morena Baccarin.

 

[Man of Steel]

Unlike most people, I actually support Bomer for Superman. There's no one better than him besides Routh. Cavill would be my third choice even though he'd be a perfect Batman right after Sam Witwer. He actually looks a lot like Kal-El in that picture.

 

[cin0]

^ i think that's weird.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Just wondering who would you guys cast as Zatanna?

Odette Yustman

 

[sabetoonth]

OK someoen over on DA made this casting suggestion, and its well, its Miash Collins for Clark Kent/Superman

 

[Webhead2006]

someone brought that up over in the superman board, i like the guy but he is more suited for a role like the question then superman.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah Misha would actually make a great Question. He's awesome on Supernatural. I think I just got a new favorite choice

 

[cin0]

does he play the angel? its been a while since ive seen supernatural.

 

[Webhead2006]

yup he is the angel that been helping sam and dean out. and yea i see him better suited for question or a character along those lines.

 

[lets_get_ripped]

...

 

[MadVillainy]

I know Josh Hutcherson has been thrown around for Spiderman and I do like him as an actor but I dont think he is the right fit for Spidey, So I tried to think of what other young hero he could play and actually looking at him he reminds me of Kon-El

He could bulk up. He has broadish shoulders. He isn't exactly how I imagined Kon sounding, but idk I'm just throwing his name out there

 

[cin0]

idk about that one.

 

[reta666]

Barry Allen

Clark Kent

Hal Jordan

Ted Kord

Bruce Wayne

 

[Eddie Dean]

Oh man, Hoffman is a great call for Kord.

Gregory Peck would make a great classic Superman.

 

[OwlBoy]

Pretty sure Paul Newman should be playing Hal

 

[reta666]

Pretty sure Paul Newman should be playing Hal

I actually thought newman and redford should be jordan and allen, but I see newman more of a flash.

Oh and I also had Peck as superman for his fatherly feel but I ultimately see Cary grant as an all around cool supes and could work wonderfully with clark cable as the worlds finest
