The NEW Justice League Casting and Discussion Thread

[Godzilla2014]

I don't want to see too many characters here. Less is more. Should keep it to 5 or 6 max.

I can get with that.

 

[WeasleyIsRKing]

Obviously, they would have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. The fifth and sixth members can be pretty much anyone. My favorites come from the JL cartoon show...I really liked Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, and Flash...any two of those three would work for me.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Henry Cavill - Superman
Timothy Olyphant - Batman
Lynn Collins - Wonder Woman
Chiwetel Ejiofor - Martian Manhunter
Aaron Paul - The Flash / Wally West
Anthony Mackie - Green Lantern / John Stewart
Charlie Hunnam - Aquaman
Sarah Shahi - Zatanna
Joel Edgerton - Green Arrow
Katheryn Winnick - Black Canary
Damien Lewis - The Question
Bill Hader - Plastic Man
Karl Urban - Orion

Cool ideas, man. Especially Sarah Shahi. I could watch her in... anything.

fanboiii, This manipulation of the Justice League is incredible.

I don't mean to be antagonistic here... but why are so many people here fascinated with Jaimie Alexander? Has she been in something that made everyone think she's a really good actress, or is this all just based on looks? Because she was barely memorable in Thor.

Sorry... I'm just at a loss here as to why she seems to get suggested for so many roles on this site. I guess she does have an okay Wonder Woman look, but I find her kind of bland, honestly.

I don't think it's about fascination. I just think she could pull it off. She can act, she has the looks, and she could do the physical stunts. That's all it is. Your right about her role in Thor, but that's not her fault at all. She didn't have much to do just like the Warriors Three. Plus, she already expressed some interest in Wonder Woman. I think that puts her on the top of the potential candidates.

 

[psylockolussus]

The line up should consist of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.

Agreed, except for get rid of Aquaman.

Please do not alter or adapt my work without permission. Much appreciated.​

Holy crap, Batman's costume looks perfect!

 

[psylockolussus]

Agreed, except for get rid of Aquaman.

Why?

Aquaman looks amazing, he's part of the original line-up and he's from the water.

 

[WeasleyIsRKing]

Aquaman kinda sucks. Isn't that a general consensus?

J/K...don't get mad. I don't know, guess I've never been a huge fan of his. I genuinely like all the other original members of Justice League. They all seem to have depth of character, a reason for me to relate to them. Just don't feel that with Aquaman.

 

[protocida]

^ No, that's not the general consensus.

 

[WeasleyIsRKing]

Then please tell me why I'm wrong about Aquaman.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

He has a fantastic backstory. Has a great world (Atlantis). The story works well with current climate change worries. He has a good powerset. However I would give him the ability to generate water from his trident. Although he only really has two great villains they are better than Flash's, Wonder Woman's and Hawkman's.

The opinion of the general audience is that he is impotent though, but he could actually kill most of the league, maybe excluding J'onn.


Even still, I think it would be best to go for a Superman/Batman movie first, then Justice League.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Aquaman is awesome.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Then please tell me why I'm wrong about Aquaman.

Read Aquaman.

 

[Micromind]

If there is no GL Sequel, WB might want to make a JLA movie, as it can have Batman, Superman it will get general audience's attention, they can add Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
in the team.

My choice for WW is Taylor Cole or just cast Adranne Palicki as WW, she looks good in costume, I sat NO to Jamie Alexender.

 

[Pagan]

[YT]H7Nf-m6WGl4[/YT]I dunno about doing these big ensemble movies. these characters costumes look a bit odd on real people. just do a full blown cgi movie the quality of the trailer for the online mmo. then you can go with the huge ,epic battle scenes and not have it coast you a billion bucks. Can we just have this fully realized?

 

[Karelia]

If they did a movie like the DC MMO, it'd be incredible.

[Optimus_Prime_]

very nice^^^^^^

I have a plot in mind too. Basically it starts with Maxwell Lord completely a clean energy generator at the center of the Earth. Lord seeking even greater influence over the world desides to start a Justice League of the world's heroes. After Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan and Flash (Allen) all turn him down he turns to Lex Luthor and they round out a new roster with paid super-villains Mr. Freeze, Giganta, and Professor Zoom, and denies Joker the right to join. Batman wants to spy on Lord, so he contacts the Question and they seek out a telepath named J'on J'onzz who is posing as a Gotham Police Detective. He inflitrates the "Lord League" but is eventually found out. Maxwell Lord uses J'on J'onzz to give himself telepathic powers. Lord takes control of Superman and Wonder Woman's mind and sick them after Batman. Batman squares off against the both of them and manages to snap Wonder Woman out of it. Then Green Lantern and Flash show up to attempt to slow down Superman. Batman inflitrates Lord's lair with the help of Wonder Woman. After Batman is inside Wonder Woman fights and subdues Superman, snapping him from his mind control. Batman frees J'on J'onnz and he and Batman take on Lord's League. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash all show up, and shut them down. Martian Manhunter using his telepathy is able to hold Lord, but not perminently so Wonder Woman breaks his neak. Luthor attempts to flee but he is cornered by the Joker who is still mad Luthor told Maxwell Lord to avoid him. Joker says if there is going to be a League to save the world they need something to save it from. So he forces Luthor to take him to the main controls for the energy generator at the center of the Earth. Joker overloads it to explode. The Leaguers of Flash, Superman, J'on J'onzz, Green Lantern, Batman, and Wonder Woman all team up to destroy the generator before it destroys Earth. Barry dies in the process. The League forms in his memory...and if I continued with a sequel I'd introduce Wally.

- At the end Superman forgives Wonder Woman for what she did, but seems to tactly accept it, whereas Batman does not, and doesn't want Wonder Woman anywhere near the League. I'd use this to set up some sexual tension between the two later I think.
- Maxwell Lord's plan all along was to overload the generator to give his League of Villains something to save this Earth from, Batman and Question discover this early on. Maxwell would've manually reversed the reaction to make it look like they stopped it. It's strongly hinted Joker knew this as well (hence his actions at the end)

I wanted it to be really comic booky, so not too "realistic" or "gritty".

Even if Armie Hammer has added a bit to his resume since that awful Justice League Mortal (what a stupid name) project, I'm still not too high on him. IMO he's tainted by JLM's portrayal of Batman as a "schizophrenic" psycho who doesn't blink at snapping someone's neck. Remember how he talked up that cancelled movie, seemingly unaware that that's an incorrect definition of "schizophrenic" and not who Batman is anyway?

What would he bring that any buff twenty-thirty something actor wouldn't?
