Ok theory on this possible "youth" driven JL cast...

I've heard a few quotes from people who have apparently read it - they praised it.

Though no, it doesn't necessarily mean the script is bad - the story its based off of (the only thing we know fully at this point) is good.



I think if anything....this JL film maybe visually stimulating ala 300, Sin City....but I have a feeling the story and acting will be mediocre at best.
 
Hopefully it does have a unigue look to it, but the acting is hopefully going to be decent.
 
It's possible.

But I trust Miller to make a decent movie (as in acting and direction).

The guy's a veteran, who's surprisingly ahead of the curve technology wise.

Whatever one may think about Happy Feet, it was technically very good and well directed to boot.
 
yes I have faith in george miller, that's why I'm not freaking out about the casting
 
Bale is not Batman. Yes, he does a great interpretation - but he is not the only man that can wear the cape and cowl.

People need to get over their idiotic irrational fan boy horses and look at rationally.

Of course people in hell also need water - they are far more likely to get it than the latter.



Dude.....aren't you sick and tired of seeing different actors play Batman?

I sure as hell am especially a year after TDK comes out?

Plus getting another actor to play Superman/Clark Kent in such a short period of time between franchise films?

Ridiculous.....

Bale was right about this project needing to be pushed back a few years.

We'll see what happens....this film of Millers maybe visually stimulating and good eye candy.....but the story, development and characterization of these characters will be key and if they get these type of uninspiring actors to play these iconic heroes.....then this project will reek of mediocrity IMO.

One would figure that a man of Millers status would be able to get solid actors for this film.....but he decides to go with TV show actors who do not look like men? Beyond disappointing.....
 
George Miller should just stick with Penguins!

I have no problem with Justice League being a separate entity from TDK and SR, but I do have a problem with the airhead teeny-bopper appealing cast Miller has in mind. What a way to ruin a franchise in teh first try!

Agreed 100%.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's insane when you think about it. Since 1989 through today we have had a live action Batman on film 5 times played by 4 different actors. Now throw in another Batman actor for this JL film!!! It's not a matter of Bale being the only actor that can play him, it's just a matter of finally getting comfortable with someone in the role just to have someone else to play the character as well. It's ridiculous.
 
They want a younger cast to carry a few sequels and still have the cast be marketable and not look too old when they get to JLA 3 or JLA 4.
 
I don't care, as long as the actors can act, and aren't to young looking.

No - not really. Especially when the films are different. Its just like in comics - yea, I love Jim Lee's Batman. But I also like to see different takes on the character.

Yes - I would prefer to see Routh. However it would be hard to do it without bringing in the baggage of Superman Returns - which though I love - would not really fit in a Justice League movie at the time it was over.

Bale was right about this project needing to be pushed back a few years.

While I am not opposed to it being pushed back a few years for Bale (and possibly Routh's) inclusion - I am not going to sign this movie off for that reason alone.

The thing is though - as you said - a man of Miller's status could get probably most actors he wants. He is choosing to go with the direction he is going - he has a reason.

Exactly...
 
Is it completely lost on all of you that these are not actual casting lists? This is a rumor, and judging from what we've heard now, MADE UP RUMORS at that!

I don't get why you always do that. Of course people know it is not official casting. It's discussion of a "possible" cast and what you would think of it if it happens. I think we are all on the same page :confused: At least I hope so. I'm sure you are right that some people run with it a little too far and fast. :o
 
but the thing is people arent discussing it theyre treating it like its teh real thing and theyre vastly overreacting
 
I don't get why you always do that.

Because the level of panic around here over something so unconfirmed is absurd. I realize it's fanboys being fanboys, but it's gotten to the point where it's just sad. People are selective about which rumors they want to observe, and they never put the actual pieces together for a valid interpretation of what's going on.

For some. This is not the attitude I am responding to. I am responding to this kind of thing:

"but I do have a problem with the airhead teeny-bopper appealing cast Miller has in mind. What a way to ruin a franchise in teh first try!"

Yeah, because it's been confirmed that this was even Miller's idea. Fact is, people who are paying attention to what's actually going on have seen/learned that this "cast" was invented by a website or persons unknown to drum up anti-JLA support.

I see what you are saying Guard and imo you've always been an intelligent poster. Hope you didn't take me wrong. I guess I have a similar view to you and would hope most members could use that common sense. Of course that common sense comes with years of restarts, rumors galore, and disappointments that maybe some of the posters in here didn't experience and I may be overlooking that. It's possible some people are running with info a little too easy.
 
No, we're on the same page. People aren't just running with info, though, they're running selectively. It's like back during BEGINS preproduction where people knew Christian Bale was the frontrunner and people got all bent out of shape over Ashton Kutcher rumors.
 
I've got no problem with hiring actors in their late 20's. However hiring shiitty 2nd rate TV actor models and pretending they are "actors"...that makes me feel like spitting on people

which actors are you referring to? the ones who tried out or the ones rumored to be liked by miller?
 
Until I get some hardcore proof (actual cast, pics, etc.) and going by what i've heard recently, I'm just gonna go ahead and call this JLINO aka. Teen Titans.
