Casting the DC Universe

[cerealkiller182]

I don't know who should play each character in the Metal Men movie,
but when they make one they should use the same FX used to create Dr. Manhattan in the Watchmen movie:

So, like Manhattan in Watchmen, Each Metal Man will be a real actor wearing one of those suites. Then, using CG and other FX, use their likeness, acting, gestures, facial expressions and movements, and all that, so its actually them acting, but alter them so they can look like the Metal Men as well.

I agree at least for the faces.

I was thinking:
Dwayne Johnson- Gold
Patrick Warburton- Iron
Ashley Scott- Platinum
Austin Pendelton- Tin
Brad Garret- Lead
Mercury- Tom Kenny
Copper- Keke Palmer

 

[Changeling]

Sounds goood.

 

[Webhead2006]

that would be a good way to go about those characters, if/when they ever get the chance at a film.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I've only ever seen the Metal Men in Justice, but they seemed pretty goofy.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Theres comedy involved. I really like their back up in Doom Patrol. Whenever there was talk about a movie there was always a tone comparison to Men in Black which would be cool.

 

[OwlBoy]

David Tennant as Dr. Will Magnus
Matt Kesslar as Gold
Eva Mendes as Platinum
Will Arnett as Mercury
Kevin James as Lead
Christopher Judge as Iron
Johnny Kastl as Tin

 

[Changeling]

Christopher Judge is sooooo ugly...

 

[Compi716]

I agree at least for the faces.

I was thinking:
Dwayne Johnson- Gold
Patrick Warburton- Iron
Ashley Scott- Platinum
Austin Pendelton- Tin
Brad Garret- Lead
Mercury- Tom Kenny
Copper- Keke Palmer

Good choices.

 

[louiebling$]

*Sigh* David Henrie as a Wally West aka Kid Flash. Only if they use Barry Allen as the main character

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

David Tennant as Dr. Will Magnus
Matt Kesslar as Gold
Eva Mendes as Platinum
Will Arnett as Mercury
Kevin James as Lead
Christopher Judge as Iron
Johnny Kastl as Tin

Is that Doug from Scrubs?

 

[Webhead2006]

i wouldnt be against david henrie for a superhero role, though isnt he doing some indie comicbook or a comic book like movie soon. i recall seeing an article on it like a month ago?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

David Henrie as Beast Boy? That's just the first thought that came to my mind. It's the first time I've ever heard or seen of the guy, but I get a vibe that he could do better as Beast Boy.

 

[Changeling]

Yeah I suggested him for that a LONG time ago.

 

[Webhead2006]

i was thinking beast boy role for the guy who plays his brother in that disney show of his.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

I want Sarah Michelle Gellar for Lois Lane!

 

[Ipodman]

i was thinking beast boy role for the guy who plays his brother in that disney show of his.

err... yea.. david henrie and his brother in the show has some acting chops...

 

[Webhead2006]

well i was just thinking his brother character could easily play beastboy if it was pattern off that stupid teen titans cartoon(no offense to fans of the show i liked it but i didnt think it was as strong as btas/stas/jl).

 

[Young Superman]

On The Sad Day That Nolan and Bale Leave

Bruce Wayne/Batman- Henry Cavill

Vicki Vale- Emmy Rossum You have no idea how iffy/on the fence I am with this choice. I mean she's not a bad actress, but she picks the crappiest movies to be in. I dont know if its her, her agent pressuring her or what. So in short I have partial faith in her, not full confidence that I have with other cast choices

Alfred Pennyworth- Jim Broadbent

Lucius Fox- Clarke Peters

Joker- Joseph Gordon Levitt even though we might not get a Joker in the next series

Talia Al Ghul- Madeline Zima

Dr. Leslie Thompkins- Diane Keaton

Great cast Blackman But I'd replace Rossum with Kate Mara.

 

[batnkevlar]

And replace Madeline Zima... the girl is like the opposite of a *****...

They'd be taken (via my patent pending time machine) from the perfect time in the careers to play the roles and put through a rigorous physical fitness routine taylored to build the proper physique for each role. In lieu of that, pick unknowns (where necessary) that are closest to the actors listed.

[JBElliott]

Barry Allen/Flash: Robert Redford

Martian Manhunter: Laurence Fishburne

Catwoman: Audrey Hepburn

Dick Grayson (as Nightwing): Matt Bomer

I'd thought of Redford for Barry Allen, but Tom Hanks plays a better All-American guy.

Fishburne is probably a better choice.

I'd thought about Hepburn for Kyle too, but didn't feel she was curvy enough.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Though here are my picks on some of them.

Barry Allen/Flash: Robert Redford

Martian Manhunter: Laurence Fishburne

Catwoman: Audrey Hepburn

Dick Grayson (as Nightwing): Matt Bomer

Whoa, I actually like Bomer for Nightwing

 

[Webhead2006]

nice list man.
