Casting the DC Universe

[Lobo]

I don't know what it is but Henry Cavill's face just makes me want to punch it.
And no can't see him as Bruce or Batman

That's why I think he is perfect for Namor, should a Sub-Mariner movie ever happen

She's not really the comic book role type IMO. Not every actor has to fit a comic role.

True, but I think there's a supporting role for her somewhere. Maybe in one of the lesser known characters movies like maybe Adam Strange? Note: I have never read an Adam Starnge bookj and know nothing of his adventures.

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

Well actually there is a Sub-Mariner movie being planned I think Jonathan Mostow is directing it... *cringe*

 

[NotFadeAway]

Well mister producer go find us some financing or a studion to back my GA trilogy and I'll win us a peoples choice award (cause sadly that seems to be the only type of award these films get considered for, unless someone dies). We can let Webs on as a PA assistant for his resume and Cino can audition. At the very least he can be an extra that gets killed in the first supervillian attack!

I'm in as long as we co-write

Superman - Matthew Bomer
Lex Luthor - Toby Stephens

 

[Steve Holt]

i'd love to see Jon Hamm as Luthor, with a younger superman (not teens but late 20's)

Luthor being Metro's golden boy for years before SM comes along

 

[MadVillainy]

I completely agree he seems more like the playboy type and would a better Bruce Wayne and/or James Bond then Superman

as far as him as Namor: He'd be okay, I'd prefer Ian Somerhalder for the sub mariner

 

[Webhead2006]

who knows if namor or aquaman will happen any time soon.

 

[MadVillainy]

who knows if namor or aquaman will happen any time soon.

what does that have to do with anything? Who knows if any of the casting choices on here will be picked?
This is all speculation/what we hope would happen

 

[OwlBoy]

Yea I don't think Warner's is looking to fast track an Adam Strange movie but that's not gonna stop me from fantasy casting

 

[Webhead2006]

sorry i just meant since we dont know if/when a film would happen who knows if our picks would get it. But ian would be an interesting choice. I liked him in a few things i seen him in.

I heard that the studio originally wanted Alec Baldwin to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. But the studio had already signed Tim Burton as the director and Burton, having worked with him on Beetlejuice, refused to work with Baldwin ever again. Not sure why, not sure if this is just a rumor too.

 

[cin0]

[Changeling]

Superman: Jon Hamm
Batman: Christian Bale
Wonder Woman: Jessica Biel
Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds
Flash: Justin Timberlake

[Mr. Earle]

Superman: Jon Hamm
Batman: Christian Bale
Wonder Woman: Jessica Biel
Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds
Flash: Justin Timberlake
Aquaman: Michael Fassbender
Martian Manhunter: Lance Reddick

 

[Matt.S99]

Timberlake is actually a decent actor and he's damn funny, but definitely no to him as Flash.

 

[batnkevlar]

I love Timberlake to death but keep him away from superhero movies. Put him on SNL as many times as possible, maybe give him some comedic movies to be in, but keep him away from comic books.

 

[Lobo]

Timberlake would be fine as a comedic lesser known hero, like Booster Gold IMO, I wouldn't even be too opposed to him as Flash either.

 

[Webhead2006]

personally i hate timberlake and wouldnt want to see him in any hero movie.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Justin Timberlake for Blue Beetle the new one. not Ted Kord.

agreed. He's a good actor, but I can't see him playing a hero type character.

 

[Jordacar]

Justin Timberlake for Blue Beetle the new one. not Ted Kord.

You mean Jaime Reyes? Isn't he hispanic?

 

[OwlBoy]

And also a teenager

 

[Sky Captain]

And also not Justin Timberlake.

In a Doom Patrol movie, based on the current comic:

Father Rocky Davis played by Bruce Campbell

Rocky was a member of the Challengers of the Unknown, now years later Rocky has become a priest and is a therapist/ counselor type to the Doom Patrol.
When I read him in the comic he reminds me of Campbell, not to mention he plays a slightly similar character on Burn Notice (an ex-government agent type who wears Hawaiian print shirts all the time.)
But he just seems like a match to play this guy. Even if its the only time Rocky is ever in some movie, the cameo would be cool.
