Tom Welling as Superman

[OobeDoobBenubi]

You act as if he is?

You should see Mike at The Planet. He pretty much tells people to **** off if they dont believe the Tom Welling "Rumor" & then he puts them on a personal list to rub it in & make their stay at The Planet very difficult if Tom Welling ever got confirmed for the role.

I have seen his work first hand on The Tights.

Jezzes, All-Star, whatever. Rationalize voting THREE times with three different usernames however you want. I just thought it was petty and chose not to participate solely on those grounds. Believe it or not.

I could give a rats bum who the other actors are in JLA. I was a Bale fan before Welling and I don't care one way or the other if Bale's in JLA. It'd be nice if he was, but it's not a big deal either way. It certainly isn't enough to alter who I think should be Superman. If the rest of the cast looks the part and can act reasonably well, I'm good. We're not casting Shakespeare here. Get Welling as Superman, whoever this Rosling guy is as Batman (I don't know the actor, but he must be fairly decent having an AA nom under his belt), Reynolds as Flash, and an actress with a smokin' bod for Wonder Woman (the female lead from Transformers comes to mind), and they'll have one HELL of a cast. My goodness, this aint rocket science. It's a summer popcorn movie. Lets just make it fun and entertaining and something people want to see. *sigh*

PS: Mike is a trip. But I'm a Welling fan, so that's why I think that.

[FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Ryan Gosling looks nothing like Batman would if you ask me behind the suit if you ask me. I just can not see Ryan in that role even if we do not see Bruce Wayne at all I just do not see it. Just offer the damn role to David Boreanaz & get it over with.[/SIZE][/FONT] That is definitely lazy super lazy casting if Ryan gets the role. I worry about who they will pick as Wonder Woman if Ryan Gosling is the WBs main choice for Batman.

This is my first post in this thread. i've waited for calmer times to give my insight on this.

I've always thought a JLA movie would be almost impossible to make but the F/X effects have evolved quickly and since I saw the transformers movie with those incredible F/x effects, I believe its conceivable to have a Jla movie.

George Miller as the director? as long as he respects the characters, I'm fine with him.

Tom Welling as Superman for this movie? it would be a dream come true!!! ...but...but until I see an official statement from the WB, declaring Tom is signed for the Superman in the JLA movie, I'll remain skeptical.

...but I'll ask AgentPat to sacrifice some chickens for me...

Tom already plays the character in Smallville, is not afraid of typecast so he is definately my top choice for Superman.

I've always felt a JLA movie would be a starting point to come up with spin-off movies with the other characters whose projects have become stalled: Flash, WonderWoman, among others but seeing these boards, it shows they actually not just one Jla movie, but possibly two or three movies.

TW as Superman in two or three movies as Superman? Ok people, it's KO...lol

I'll definately watch this movie but if Tom enters in the movie as Superman, I'll able on the first day exhibition in a theater near me.

BTW, just throwing a suggestion for Batman: instead of Ryan Gosling, I'll point to Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Peace.

No? He can look a lot like Bale

Also Gosling was nominated for an Academy Award and is leaps and bounds a better actor than Boreanaz.

Ryan G. is certainly a better actor than Boreanaz, for that reason alone he should get chosen over him--not that the studios are even debating that I'm sure. I can't imagine former Angel as Batman

/quote]

So they are pulling a Singer to find a guy that can look like the best actor in the role eh ?

 

[AgentPat]

Ryan Gosling [/B]looks nothing like Batman would if you ask me behind the suit

And this guy does?

The guy cast as Batman will be wearing a mask for most if not all of the film. The primary focus for Batman's casting should be a thesp who's a good actor and who is at least 6' tall to simplify things for the cameras. Everything else can be fudged with costuming.

The actor who plays Superman is more visually vulnerable, however. He doesn't wear a mask, and he doesn't wear black (or gray? LOL) armored clothing. He wears a bright blue, skin tight leotard with a red cape. Like Wonder Woman's visage, everything about Superman says, "LOOK AT ME!" So the face and body better be worth the stare. With Welling, it is, IMHO.

Gosling is a solid actor and really looks like Bale and/or Batman, however I still have my reservations as I've said.

He can amazingly look like Bale & he is a good actor I just think hes the last person to come to my mind when it comes to casting Batman & I am sure it is the same for most here. You got to hand it to these guys for looking at actors no one else would.

My my, aren`t we misinterpreting some things.
First of all, I don`t tell me to **** off if they don`t believe in the Welling rumors, that`s just a dirty lie. In the particular case you mention here I told a certain fella to piss off was because he kept annoying me with with his misinterpretation of things, so I told him that he knew where the door was if he didn`t like the topic of discussion, Only I worded it differently.

And that last part has truth to it though, if this Welling rumor turns out to be true, then , as I said in my original post, and I was very clear about it, ( CERTAIN) individuals were gonna get reminded of it for a veeeeeeery long time a head, one could interpret this to mean that I`ll most likely rub it in if they decide to act like they`re doing now.
Because after 3 years of non stop lies from them about welling and how he hates superman, and how he`ll NEVER be superman, either on the show or the movies....just gets to much, so I don`t think it`s unfair that they get what they deserve for shooting their mouths of about something they knew little about ( Welling).

So you might have misunderstood a few things there Caboose.

Well first off Pat all because I voted for Routh on a poll does not make me against Welling.

Three times, and under different names. 'Nuff said.

BOREANZ?! No. Please, just. no.

Gosling's looks aren't what I would normally picture for Bats, but you know what? He's such an incredible actor with a style that is dead-on perfect for the intensity and brooding nature of Batman. Hell yeah, if they can get Gosling, I think it would be a coup. Dye his hair, shoot him up with some steroids.. and thereyago.

BTW, just throwing a suggestion for Batman: instead of Ryan Gosling, I'll point to Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Peace.

Meyers is another good actor and would be an interesting choice, but man.. he looks so much like a young skinny Elvis, I'd have a really hard time seeing him as Batman. He's seems like a pretty tiny guy too, not sure there's enough time for the 'roids to kick in on that one.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I was partly right Mike t: If Welling gets confirmed I guess you wont be that much different the the haters themselves for doing what they did. Your lucky you dont post here reguarly

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

No. They found a guy who can act and looks like a young Bruce Wayne that at times looks similar to Bale

which is why he in fact DID play a young, skinny Elvis once....

he's good, but he's busy with the excellent The Tudors series that's on Showtime now, where he costars with one time rumored Superman henry Cavill....small world

Only partly, and the rest of your post here isn`t very accurate either.
If Welling is cast and IF they decide to act like they`re doing now, then I might be able to mention that Welling did sign on for superman in spite of their constant lies about him. And that`s about IT. So I think you might have a completely different opinion to what rubbing it in is that what I see for it to mean.
It`s a forum, it`s not like I`m gonna go on full blown attacks at people for disagreeing with me, it`s only a damn movie.
You have some serious misunderstandings here fella.

I only saw the first few episodes of that series, but it's fabulous. I will definitely get those DVDs when they come out.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

So who do we have so far as far as rumors go

Tom Welling as Superman
Ryan Reynolds as The Flash
Ryan Gosling as Batman

 

[Mike22]

BOREANZ?! No. Please, just. no.

I think Boreanaz would have been awesome as Bats, he has the talent, the looks and the build for it.

Not that I mind Gosling, I`ve seen one of his movies, and he sure is a good actor, he`d be a great Batman, problem for me is that he might look a bit young.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

It seems like they want to get the main cast signed before any official announcements are made. I think it is safe to say that they right away contacted Ryan Reynolds about this movie after they read the script & then Tom Welling & then Ryan Gosling.

That and I LOVE the girl who plays Anne Boelyn :heart:

as a matter of fact, get HER for Wonder Woman

Welling and Reynolds have always been long time favorites, so I`m really happy about them possibly being in this movie, and as for Gosling, I like his work, he`s very very talented. I personally doubt Boreanaz was even an option so I`ll let that go right away.
I wonder who they`ll get for Aquaman, MM and WW?
These next few weeks are gonna be very interesting.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

We can blame the stupid movie thing going on right now for tying up WB damn that thing & you forgot the Green Lantern

 

[JimCorbin]

Superman because they don't like him because he's uncooperative." Give me a freakin' break. That started over at BlueTights by JimJimBinks, a known fan of... well, that other franchise.

Saying anything was started by me over there is complete bull.

I never posted anything publicly on any board about what I had heard about Welling.

I was talking to someone in a PRIVATE IM conversation, telling him what I heard from some friends, and unbeknownst to me, the person took a completely out of context screenshot of our conversation and started passing it around as if it were the fraking gospel truth.

There was a reason I never posted any of that. I'd heard it from a trusted friend, but I had no proof and I didn't care to provide any because I didn't want to go into the subject at all.

And I really can't decide if I find the "a known fan of... well, that other franchise" comment infuriating, or hilariously stupid.
