The NEW Justice League Casting and Discussion Thread

[ClarkLuther55]

Yes, a while back Armie Hammer was mourning the cancellation of JLM, trying to tell people that it would've been awesome. Psychologists were hired as consultants to help explain the script's portrayals to the actors, so that they would think like the characters did.

I had doubts about what they were doing, since Armie described JLM's Batman as paranoid "schizophrenic," even though real schizophrenia involves hallucinations, voices in your head, and disorganized thought processes. It was an extremist portrayal of Batman, going so far as to even be the opposite of how he's been portrayed in everything else.

Near the end of the script, Wonder Woman has her infamous confrontation with Maxwell Lord. But in the script, Wonder Woman hesitates to snap his neck. Batman does the deed without flinching, because he was supposed to be that callous and psycho.

If that's the way Armie Hammer sees the character, then I don't want him to play Batman in any future movie.

Armie Hammer (and most actors) see the character the way the character is written in the script. It's not his fault that's what the writers called for.

^ Batman doesn't willingly kill Lord. He hesitates as well.

How would you feel a few of the Justice League seven dying a heroic death? It could pull at the heart strings if done right, escpecially if we get two JL movies. I see Darkseid as the villian in the first JL film and then a Vandal Savage/Neron combo in the 2nd.

 

[EliteF50]

Armie would be a fantastic Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Ok, I have a complete geeker question that confirms I have no real life.

I'm a huge fan of the television show LOST. My signature should tell you that. Anyway, I was just out running and started to think. If you took the Lost season finale afterlife storyline and applied it to Justice League, who remembers last and has a scene with their father like Jack Shephard had? Is it Superman with Jor-El or Batman with Thomas Wayne? I can't decide.

Oh my God I love Lost!!! One of best TV shows ever!!!

The DC (unofficial) trinity on film so far

 

[psylockolussus]

Those 3 actors better be in the Justice League movie!

 

[NotFadeAway]

Oh my God I love Lost!!! One of best TV shows ever!!!

I obviously love Lost as well.

So I ask again, if you were to apply the story and moments in the Lost series finale to Jutice League, who is in Jack's spot? Superman or Batman?

I'm not sure if anyone of them will want to come out of retirement when a Justice League movie is finally gonna be made...

Batman should be Jack because Superman seems more calm than Batman.

After watching USA's tv series, "Suits", I think Gabriel Macht could be a good Bruce Wayne/ Batman.

I think Leonardo Dicaprio would be a pretty awesome Aquaman. Brad Pitt maybe for an older Aquaman.

So anyone have any ideas on how to bring the league together? I would prefer they not go down the alien invasion route.
