Justice League (Kids) Casting
Oct 15, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
IESB had a pithy comment regarding the actors who were called in for auditions for the Justice League movie: Is this casting for the Teen Titans or Justice League?
This weekend director George Miller held a casting session that included as many as 40 actors and actresses. Some of the more notable ones included:
28 year old Adam Brody (The O.C.)
35 year old rapper Common
19 year old Max Thieriot (Nancy Drew)
21 year old Teresa Palmer
21 year old Joseph Cross
22 year old Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard and Grindhouse)
20 year old Michael Angarano (Sky High)
The word is that Miller is optimistically casting young actors with the idea that this will be the first of multiple Justice League films. I suppose that’s one way to look at it, but really I was hoping for an older cast. Brody and Common are ok as far as I’m concerned age-wise (Common looks much older than 35 IMO… rough life?) but if most of the actors that tested are in the 19-21 year old range that’s going to put the movie in a “beginner superhero” mode. In fact I don’t think it will make much sense.
I’ve always envisioned the Justice League as a group of seasoned superheroes who after years of going solo come to the conclusion that they can do more good as a combined force than they can on their own. A bunch of superheroes that are barely old enough to drink doesn’t fit that mold. At all.
If the script was written around such young superheroes, I’m already putting this in the “probably not going to be so great” category.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK~
Batman-Christian Bale(He’s an amzing Batman. I CANNOT see anyone else playing him!)
SuperMan-DEFINETELY Brandon Routh
Flash-
Wonder Woman-Megan fox or Angelina Jolie
HawkGirl-Maria Kanellis
Green Lantern-Terrence Howard
SuperGirl-Me!(Becky)or Hayden Panettiere
That’s all I can think of. I loved the Justice League…Since I could talk! And Superheros…This would be AMAZING if I could be in this movie or at least AUDITION!!!!!! Any audition information would be amazing. So if you have info. on it PLEASE tell me. I look like Super-Girl too! I kinda have the same face as her, and type of hair. Anyways, I have almost the same ideas as Kevin ^ has. Thanks.
What do you think???
Batman – Christian Bale
Superman – Tom Welling (best superman actor ever!)
Wonder Woman – Megan Fox
Flash (Wally West)- Shia LeBaouf, Drake Bell or someone like those
Green Lantern – Tyson B. (with or without hair)
Hawkgirl – Maria Kanellis (JAJA)
Martian Manhunter – Common (with make – up) (obviously)
Zatanna – Julie Andrews (from Enchanted) or someone young
Green Arrow or Aquaman – That guy of Pirates of the Caribbean (Will Turner)
And some kick ass director. Cant wait this movie!
guys flash needs to be playd by someone tall and very funny batman some one dark and misterios oh and i could defenatly play flash wonder woman needs to be hot so does hawk girl.bye
What do you think???
Batman – Christian Bale
Superman – tom welling form smallville that guy is way better than the retard from superman returns
Wonder Woman – Megan Fox
Flash (Wally West)- flash has blonde hair idk
Green Lantern – Ryan reynolds is playing him in the green latern movie keep it
Hawkgirl – Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Martian Manhunter – common
Zatanna – Julie Andrews
Green Arrow- the other guy from smallville that plays him
Aquaman – the guy from star wars episode 2 and 3 and jumper idk his name
I think they should do a movie of hawii five-0 with dewanye johnson and the other people of the show like the westler rakisi,rob scedier as danno or kenau,chin as jet le or jackie
chan. what do you think?
what about the thudercats? I want to see a real movie!
Guy’s come on there are plenty of hot nerds out there that could play these roles easily. So now is the time that they start looking and not pick a group of actors who are already known for something else i don’t want to look at the sreen at a movie i have been long waiting for and say “Hey… isn’t that the guy from the O.C.?” Where’s the mystery in that. and that’s what I think the Justice League is about mystery. So pick someone we don’t know and suprise us.
the guy from starwars and jumper is Hayden Christen and he would play ok at aqua man. and Tom welling does the best superman.
everyone’s pointing to megan fox as wonder woman and i just don’t see it.
she’s to dark skinned for one and her face is kind of… bad girl-ish.
wonder woman needs to be someone you instantly worship, trust and love on sight.
there shouldn’t be anything the least bit sinister looking to her.
I really think the actors for Justice League should be older.
To me, they are seasoned heroes with sterling achievements.
Here’s my list of perfect actors for the superheroes of Justice League.
