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.

You are correct.
It’s Box Office response was barely lukewarm.
But it’s DVD sales were phenomenal.
If you are going young like that maybe you should case Tyson B. from american top model
With the cast you have now, I think that Common would be to old. You need a man that has the look and body to feel the role. I think Tyson Beckford would feel the role perfect! And he’s in the age group too. What do you think? But if you want to target the “semi-rap” groupies, then he’s your MAN. Tell men what you think?? MB..out

What do you think???
Batman - Christian Bale
Superman - Brandon Routh
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)
I think that the justice league should have:
Superman: from Superman Returns
Batman: from The Dark Night
and all those guys up top except for Max Thieriot, seems like he could play robin from teen titans
what you guys think?
chyea ryan reynolds would b cool as flash
If Jim Carrey were only younger. He would make a perfect Wally West/Flash. He is super funny and can actually act quiet well. Maybe CGI to make him look younger.
Lucy Lawless looks the part for Wonder Woman-WW is a tough girl. But if only Lucy were younger.
If 50 cent can actually act-he could play John Stewart. But I doubt it-he just wants to blow someone up. Will Smith is my prefered John Stewart-has the build, tough guy acting chops and the height, plus the experience to make Green Lanturn a character of realism, but most people tend to disagree.
Hey, I think that the cast is O.K. I would REALLY wanna be in this movies because I’m a HUGS SUPER-HERO FAN!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to be Super-Girl, and I also look like her. I wish there were auditions. It sucks, that you can’t audition for a movie because your not ” Famous”. I would be a beautiful, and great Super-Girl!
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.
