Casting the DC Universe

[Man of Tomorrow]

Here's my Titans cast for a Teen Titans origin film.

Since WW, GA and Flash don't have their own films yet; I avoided Donna Troy, Speedy and Impulse; focused on the core five.


Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing) - Thomas Dekker (5'9) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0215281/

Raven - Evan Rachel Wood (5'8) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0939697/

Starfire - Odette Yustman (5'10) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0951148/

Beast Boy - Logan Lerman (5'8) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0503567/

Cyborg - Gaius Charles (5'11) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2173080/

I'm still deciding on a casting choice for Deathstroke.

 

[Timstuff]

Am I the only one who sees some irony in Thomas Dekker as Robin, when Christian Bale is Batman and both of them have played John Connor?

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Yeah, that would be a neat little connection.

Though based on how T4 turned out, it doesn't look like Bale will be playing John Connor again.

My Dream Justice League Cast:

Superman= Brandon Routh

Batman= Christian Bale

Wonder Woman= Bridget Regan

Green Lantern {Hal}= Sam Worthington

The Flash {Wally}= Scott Porter

Aquaman= Philip Winchester

Martian Manhunter= Laurence Fishburne

Black Canary= Scarlett Johansson

Green Arrow= Matt Damon

Zatanna= Serinda Swan

I just don't understand the obsession with Regan. She just doesn't seem right to me.

 

[Lobo]

Why? She's tall, beautiful, good actress, great body, looks like a WW drawing come to life, is proven capable at an action role, and young.

 

[MadVillainy]

I just don't understand the obsession with Regan. She just doesn't seem right to me.

neither do I. Shes an average looking girl and an average actress. Shes by far is NOT the worst choice in the role but I def think there are ppl better

THANK YOU! (Internet High-Five)

I couldn't pinpoint it until I watched an episode again and realized her eyes lack intensity. She comes across very vanilla. There's no spark of something else going on. Her characters's a good person through and through. Which isn't a slam, but I want WW to have a bit of edge to her performance.

 

[MadVillainy]

Its not even her acting for me, which is fine imo. But, this is gonna sound weird but WW needs to have ppl thinking "Why cant my girlfriend look like that" or she needs to look so good that ppl rush to the internet after seeing the movie.
Also part of WW to me is looking exotic. Regan looks like the girl next door. Nothing interesting looking about her

 

[MadVillainy]

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow = Ryan Gosling

Dinah Lance/Black Canary = Jamie King

Eddie Fyers = Fred Weller

Shado = Chiaki Kuriyama

Brick = Ving Rhames

Merlyn = Simon Baker

Constantine Drakon = Jeremy Sisto

Count Vertigo = James Marsters

NOTE: I did decide to cast Oliver as a younger character, because WB/DC tends to do that. If they cast Oliver to be an older man I would cast Simon Baker in the role.
Also I cast Fyers alot differently from how he looks in the comics. Because frankly he just looks like Jim Gordon

 

[Lobo]

Kim Coates HAS to be Merlyn

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow = Ryan Gosling

Dinah Lance/Black Canary = Jamie King

Eddie Fyers = Fred Weller

Shado = Chiaki Kuriyama

Count Vertigo = James Marsters

Especially Ryan Gosling as Green Arrow.

I like this cast, except for Marsters; he should stick to TV.

Gosling is a good fantasy choice for the character but he'd never take this role. He turned down GL (as we all know) but also turned down Batman in JL:M for the same reason.

If you turn down Batman because you can't see yourself playing that character, it's unlikely he'll do any different with Green Arrow.

 

[Webley]

Chuck Berry as the Joker.

 

[Double Down]

Teen-aged girls would certainly love that cast.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

That's bound to happen with anything Pattinson is cast in; it's a product of how mindwarping the Twillight marketing to tweens was.

He could use another franchaise role instead of solely being defined by Edward Cullen to the GA.

 

[Double Down]

They like Barnes, too.

 

[MadVillainy]

Patinsson is a hack from what I've seen. I did see Twilight and I willa dmit even tho it was bad it wasnt the worst film I've ever seen. Kirsten Stewart was actually good in it but Pattison cant act his way out of a paper bag.

and about Ryan Gosling turning down JLM. So did Columbus Short and Biel turned down roles too reports are that they thought it was too "popcorn" (coming from the guy who did Stomp the Yard and Stealth :whatever). I can understand that Golsing turned it down if this was true because he's not the "popcorn" type. Now if he turned down BB or TDK then I would guess that he wouldnt take GA. But if a GA movie, not that SuperMax crap, explores dark themes and is treated as more than a superhero movie then I can see him taking it. Because he seems like a guy who doesnt worry about grossing high, he cares abut scripts. But this is all speculation

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

He's kinda dropped off the map between Narnia 2 and 3, but will obviously be marketed everywhere in 2010 with the third film.

Up and coming actor.

Edward Cullen is just a lame role, though I couldn't sit through the entire film.

and wishful thinking.

I don't think he's interested at all at running around in a mask and green tights. He's just not that type of actor for this type of genre.

 

[MadVillainy]

^^^^Speculation on your part as well. Did anyone think Keaton would run around in a Batsuit? Did people think JEH would appear as a masked vigilante? Its mostly about the script and until he flat out says: "I won't do Green Arrow" then I'm gonna still say there is a change

 

[Lobo]

I've been looking for a DC role for Barnes, not sure who he could be yet, though. I wouldn't mind him as Cosmic Boy

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

It's common sense.

Look at the type of roles Gosling does now. Look how he turned down the Warners twice for superhero roles.

The last time he did anything close was Young Herc in 1998 when he was a small-time TV actor; and hasn't done anything similar since.

Keaton still did outlandish stuff like Beetlejuice prior to Bats. He clearly wasn't against doing things other than romance comedies.



Gosling does very specific types of films; he's not an action hero type like Bale. He is your fantasy choice; that's fine. He's just not a realistic one.

 

[Lobo]

In regards to Batman what Gosling said was people would laugh if he tried to play that character the same time Bale was portraying that character because he thought Bale was great.
