My dream 1930s' Superman and Batman

Clark Gable- Superman
Errol Flynn- Batman
What are you nuts?? Flynn is totally Green Arrow! He was practically Ollie Queen in real life (but with even more booze).
Plus, I'd say Gable fits Bats better than Supes, IMO.
 
hmmm... ok, I'll try my hand at this "casting from any era". I'm not saying that these are the best choices ever, just stuff to work with.

Batman: Alec Baldwin (early-mid 90s)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): Harrison Ford (early 80s)
The Flash (Wally West): Ryan Reynolds (circa 2000, when he was really lean like in Van Wilder)
Wonder Woman: Lucy Lawless (mid-late 90s)
 
This could be fun. Let's see, the big 7 featuring the Magnificent Seven

Ok, Wonder Woman wasn't part of the Magnificent Seven, so I'm casting a contemporary of the cast.
Wonder Woman-Ursula Andress

Douglas Fairbank jr. as Superman, since he was Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel's basis for the physical look of Superman.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bruce Wayne's look was based on Gregory Peck, right?
 
Maybe by an artist at some point, but Peck didn't start acting until the mid-1940s and Batman debuted in 1939.

Bruce Wayne was based off Gregory Peck in Batman: Year One, which was released in 1987. The original 1939 Batman wasn't. In fact I don't know who Bruce was based on originally, but I know Batman was based on Zorro, Sherlock Holmes, and The Shadow.
