Casting the DC Universe

[tyler-durden]

I love the idea of Fassbender as Green Arrow he looks the role, can do action and he's a pretty good actor.

If Hamm was younger he would be a great Superman, and Viggo as Lex is a great idea.

 

[Artistsean]

According to Billy Baldwin, Schumacher wanted him, Val Kilmer, Ralph Fienes, or Daniel Day Lewis, as his Batman.

and in his last Batman movie, he told Billy that he was in, but then Billy found out they gave the job to George Clooney.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I feel like getting Billy after Alec was so perfect for the role just a few years before would be like asking for Optimus Prime for Christmas and getting a Go-Bot.

 

[Young Superman]

Does anyone else think Daniel Cudmore could play J'onn J'onzz, The Martian Manhunter? At 6' 7" he's the perfect height for J'onn and his deep voice is also a plus. With some makeup and stuff he'd be the perfect Martian Manhunter.

 

[Young Superman]

How about Bradley Cooper as Jim Corrigan / The Spectre?

 

[Webhead2006]

interesting thoughts.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I always thought of Corrigan as older

 

[Eddie Dean]

How about Mark Pellegrino as The Spectre?

 

[GL's Light]

Michael Fassbender or Bradley Cooper would be good casting choices for Green Arrow.

Mark Pellegrino or Guy Pearce would be good picks for the Spectre.

Damien Lewis (from Band of Brothers and Life) would make a fine Jason Blood/Etrigan.

 

[Steve Holt]

Michael Fassbender or Bradley Cooper would be good casting choices for Green Arrow.

Mark Pellegrino or Guy Pearce would be good picks for the Spectre.

Damien Lewis (from Band of Brothers and Life) would make a fine Jason Blood/Etrigan.

lol, Damien Lewis is The Question

 

[GL's Light]

lol, Damien Lewis is The Question

He'd be good in either role.

 

[DannyDreg]

Eric Dane as Green Arrow:

Kristen Bell as Black Canary:

 

[chris moore]

Good choices. I did have Dane as a fave for Steve Rogers. But his personality in Greys would translate very well to Ollie.

 

[anrrd_2]

if they do an origin story i think BEN FOSTER would be a great Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

Drunk playboy oliver queen

stranded on island oliver queen

rescued and reformed oliver queen/green arrow

if its a SUPERMAX style story, where GA is older... than David Wenham is the best choice hand down

i honestly could see either of them chillin in a bar with ryan reynolds (Hal jordan) picking up chicks lol

 

[Webhead2006]

nice casting thoughts.

 

[anrrd_2]

Great picks for Ollie.

 

[anrrd_2]

i was never a hug GA fan, but then my friend lent me QUIVER and i read the whole series all way up to the green arrow/black canary books. he's now one of my fav characters.

 

[GL's Light]

Kristen Bell is a teeny tiny little thing (5'1"). Black Canary should be more statuesque in my opinion - like Rachel Nichols.

Bell would make a good Stargirl, though.

 

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Canary is suposed to be 5'3"

 

[GL's Light]

Canary is suposed to be 5'3"

What are you basing that on? She's listed as 5'5" in both Who's Who and The DC Encyclopedia. Personally I think that if you're going to above or below that in casting that a taller actress would be better in the part than a very short one. Also, I think there are actresses who would convey her persona better than Bell.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Bell is too short to play any superhero. I like her a lot but come on.

 

[anrrd_2]

KB is not too short for Harley Quinn.

or, if you MUST have her next to Ollie, how tall is Mia (speedy) supposed to be?

 

[anrrd_2]

LAGapotomus!

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Kristen would be best as Supergirl or Harley. She still looks young enough for Kara too.

I still want Clark to be the sole Kryptonian though.
