[Changeling]

Superman
Batman
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Wonder Woman
Flash (Barry Allen)
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter

Also add Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Think about how little development all those characters would get tho in a 2.5 hour movie. I think they should keep it to 5 or 6 tops. Save some guys for a possible sequel

 

[Changeling]

And I'll say it again, Colin Farrell for Bruce Wayne

 

[DrCosmic]

Superman - Henry Cavill
Batman - Jim Caviezel (Batman "Reboot" picks up in media res)
Wonder Woman - Jamie Alexander (Own movie first if at all possible)
Green Lantern (John Stewart) - (Own Wrath of Khan-type sequel/restart movie first)
Flash (Barry Allen) - Jake Gyllenhall (Own movie first)
Max Lord - Woody Harrelson

I like this except for Lord and I'd prolly get a more recognizable actor for Bats. Who's your choice for John Stewart

 

[Chris Nolan]

They should keep Batman and Superman in the same age range, just as in the comics. No more than five years apart, otherwise World's Finest will feel more like a mentor/side-kick relationship.

Agreed I would have batman be a little bit older tho if it wee up to me like maybe five six years older

 

[Chris Nolan]

I'd just try and keep it as close to the comics dynamic as possible. Let's face it, the primary selling point of JLA is the Batman/Superman relationship, nothing else comes close. It needs to be done right.

I have faith the next Batman will be selected well though, since Chris Nolan is producing. It's bound to be an up and coming actor/rising star with some credible experience, akin to Bale, Cilian Murphy, Ledger, Tom Hardy, Cavill etc before their respective films.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I like Durand for MM. I never would have thought of him but he'd be perfect.

He's my pick for Lobo. I could see him as MM too, which is strange since they're completely different characters.

Your choices are great, Chris Nolan.

 

[Chris Nolan]

Thanks. He's 6'6, so he could be a good match for many big intense characters.

I think Lobo is a character who would need heavy prosthetics and CGI too, like MM.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I don't see Kevin Durand as Martian Manhunter at all. Chiwetel Ejiofor please.

 

[Chris Nolan]

I'm not a fan of casting the MM character with an African American, just because he had an African voice on JLU.

Plus, I want to see him in his classic Det. John Jones identity in tribute to the comics, played by the same actor:

It's MM's alter ego.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Non-White people are allowed to be detectives.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Ugh...

 

[Chris Nolan]

Non-White people are allowed to be detectives.

I'd rather stay true to his image in the comics.

And Durand can play outworldly characters like MM, in "Legion":

[Keyser Soze]

I want to see them cast Chiwetel Ejiofor as Batman, just to see how much it would f*** people up.

 

[Eddie Dean]

In all seriousness, I'd be all for it.

 

[Chris Nolan]

He's Bat Wing

 

[Changeling]

I support a black Bruce Wayne, we already had a black Harvey Dent

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

DCnU

Superman - Henry Cavill

Batman - Ryan Gosling (obviously we are whipping out the hair dye)
He has a smooth-ness that, IMO, comes off less sociopathic than Bale. He also has a fairly deep voice and seems to play quietly troubled individuals well. I feel like his star power doesn't overpower the role either.

I feel like he has a good voice for Bruce Wayne, and a good demeanor for him as well. In the clip here I like how he interacts, I feel there are some Bruce-ish traits there.

Wonder Woman - Jaime Alexander

Green Lantern - Ryan Reynolds

Barry Allen - Neil Patrick Harris

Aquaman - Kevin McKidd

Cyborg - Edi Gathegi

Darkseid (rumored first villain of the comics) - Michael Ironside (voice)

 

[HighFivingMF]

Darkseid's definitely the villain.
